This advantage does not apply to rotor-supported rotating unions. It is important to ensure
that the preloading force of the motor bearing is not eliminated (see gure "Mounting the
rotating union" case 2). The axial force toward the motor must not be in the interval F
AZ
=
F
c
+/- 25% for horizontally mounted motors and F
AZ
= (F
c
+/-25%) + FL for vertically mounted
motors with the shaft extension pointing downward. For maximum permissible axial forces
at the shaft extension, the specications stated in Chapter "Radial and axial forces" apply. The
axial forces that act in the rotating union must be requested from the manufacturer.

NOTICE
Leaks in the rotating union
If there are leaks in the rotating union and the hoses, the motor may be ooded and fail!
• Avoid leaks in the rotating union.
Note the following points when mounting the rotating union:
• When you mount the rotating union, pay attention to special aspects that dier between air-
cooled and water-cooled motors.
• When installing the rotating union, observe the manufacturer’s data.
Mounting on water-cooled motors
Water-cooled motors have a “2” in the 11th position in the Article No. With water-cooled motors,
you can mount the rotating union directly on the motor. Use rotating unions with radial or axial
connections.
