6. Assembly
6.1 General
Personal injury / property damage due to
tilting
Never tilt or drop any gear pump units
Observe the technical data
For assembly, observe the technical specifications in the
"Technical data"; see chapter 4. Technical data
Only qualified technical personnel may install, operate,
maintain, and repair the gear pump units described in the
assembly instructions.
Qualified technical personnel are persons who have been
trained, assigned, and instructed by the operator of the final
product into which the gear pump unit described is
incorporated. Such persons are familiar with the relevant
standards, rules, accident prevention regulations, and operating
conditions as a result of their training, experience, and
instruction. They are qualified to carry out the required activities
and in doing so recognize and avoid potential hazards.
Before assembling/setting up the gear pump unit, the
packaging material and any shipping braces (e.g., plugs) must
be removed. The packaging material must be preserved until
any discrepancies are resolved.
6.2 Setup and attachment
System pressure
Damage and injury from excessive system
pressure
The fittings used to connect the lubrication line
should be rated for the maximum operating
pressure of the lubrication unit. If they are not,
the lubrication line system needs to be protected
from excessive pressure by means of a pressure
-
The gear pump unit should be protected from humidity and
vibration and should be mounted so that it is easily accessible,
allowing all further installation work to be done without
difficulty.
Ensure that there is adequate air circulation to prevent
excessive heating of the gear pump unit. For the maximum
permissible ambient temperature, see "Technical data."
Ensure adequate space for refilling lubricant into the lubricant
reservoir.
See the "Technical data" for the gear pump unit in these
assembly instructions. These documents can be downloaded
from the homepage of SKF Lubrication Systems Germany
GmbH.
The mounting position of the gear pump unit is vertical as
shown in this documentation. The fill level of the lubricant
reservoir, pressure gauges, oil level glasses, and other visual
monitoring equipment must be clearly visible.
Any assembly holes must be made according to the diagram
on the following page.
During assembly and especially when drilling, always pay
attention to the following:
• Existing supply lines must not be damaged by assembly work
• Other units must not be damaged by assembly work
• The gear pump unit must not be installed within range of
moving parts
• The gear pump unit must be installed at an adequate distance
from sources of heat
• Maintain safety clearances and comply with local regulations
for assembly and accident prevention
Fastening material to be provided by the customer:
• See table, assembly drawing
6.3 Minimum mounting dimensions
To ensure enough space for maintenance work and for any
disassembly of the gear pump unit, ensure that the minimum
mounting dimensions (Chapter 6.4 Assembly drawing with
minimum mounting dimensions) are maintained
