1. Check that the four O-ring seals are fitted correctly.
2. Take the stator at the support arm.
3. Position the spindle housing so that you can route the electrical cables through the cable
gland of the spindle housing or the end shield.
4. Insert the stator horizontally in the spindle housing. When inserting, ensure that the O-
ring seals remain in the stator slots.
5. Thread the connection cables through the cable gland.
6. Attach the end shield.
7. Bolt the end shield or mounting shield onto the cooling jacket. You will find further
information in the Chapter "Mounting the motor spindle (Page 127)".
– First tighten all bolts with half the maximum tightening torque.
– Then tighten the bolts with a torque wrench diagonally to the maximum tightening
torque. See table "Tightening torques"
Use a liquid medium to check whether the spindle housing is sealed properly. Test
pressure 0.7 MPa (7 bar).
– Turn the spindle housing so that the drain holes are facing downwards.
8. If the spindle housing leaks, dismantle the spindle housing.
– Replace the O-ring seals on the stator.
– Deburr any sharp edges.
9. Remount the stator in the spindle housing.
