6. Assembly
• Check the parallelism of the surface on
which the component is to be installed.
Stress-free installation of the component
must be ensured.
• Check for any fouling on the threaded
holes for progressive metering device in-
stallation and on the surface on which the
component is to be installed, and clean if
needed.
The progressive metering device is installed
using 3x M6 screws. If M6 threaded holes
are used to fasten the unit,
6.5.5 Assembly of the VPB progressive metering device
IMPORTANT NOTE
In case of installation on moving machine
parts or in case of strong vibrations (e.g.,
on pressing machines), self-locking screws
or a locking adhesive should be used for
installation of the progressive metering
device.
-See Chapter 6.5.1, Figure 34
• Drill assembly holes (M6) according to
assembly drawing (Fig. 23) and the condi-
tions on the surface.
• Clean surface to remove drilling chips.
• Place the progressive metering device on
the surface and roughly align it.
• Pass hexagon head screws (3x) accord-
ing to
EN ISO 4017, M6x40-8.8 through
fixing holes on the progressive metering
device and apply the screws to the M6
threads of the surface.
• Gently tighten hexagon head bolts (3x).
• Align the progressive metering device
and tighten the hexagon socket head cap
screws diagonally with a torque of 9 Nm
the screws must have a minimum length of
40 mm.
Fastening material to be provided by the
customer:
o Hexagon head screws (3x) according to
EN ISO 4017, M6x40-8.8
• If necessary, apply outlet fittings or SKF
quick disconnect couplings to the threads
of the outlet bores and tighten with a
torque of 25 Nm.
