Fitting bearings 
Sealing the bearings 
Note the following details: 
●  Shaft sealing rings are used to seal machines at the rotor shaft. 
–  For V rings, comply with the assembly dimension. 
●  Use the specified bearings. 
●  Ensure that the bearing sealing disks are in the correct position. 
●  Insert the elements for bearing preloading at the correct end. 
●  Fixed bearings can have a locking ring or bearing cover. 
●  Seal the bearing cap screws with the appropriate gaskets or with grease. 
●  Do not interchange the position of the bearing covers (DE and NDE or inner and outer). 
 
If the motor is in a vertical position, the rotor can fall out while work is being performed on 
the locating bearing. This can result in death, serious injury or damage. 
•  Support or unload the rotor when carrying out work with the machine in a vertical 
position.
