Instruction manual (Translation)
G853 en 07/2013, Version1
For universal joint shafts with sliding part
Do not load profile guard (5).
1. Transport universal joint shaft to the installation location
( Chapter 4.3, page 30).
2. Remove transport braces.
3. Seal threaded holes of the transport braces with plugs.
6.2.3 Cleaning the universal joint shaft and connecting fla
nge
For the cleaning of the universal joint shaft:
− Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents
− Do not clean seal elements and grease/lubricating nipple
with a high-pressure or steam cleaner.
1. Clean universal joint shafts and connecting flanges, that is,
centering and plane surfaces must be free of dirt, grease,
preserving agent, paint, and burrs.
2. Clean grease/lubricating nipples (4).
6.2.4 Checking, aligning, and fastening connecting flange
Do not use pry bars to turn the universal joint shaft in the joint
since otherwise bearing seals and the grease/lubricating
nipple could be damaged.
The universal joint shaft must be arranged so that the key
profile is protected against dirt and humidity. If possible,
installation should be so that the opening of the profile guard
(seal) points downward.
If two or more universal joint shafts are arranged next to one
another, it is recommended that you install them turned by
90° to one another. Thus the mass acceleration torques
caused by the cardan error of the universal joint shaft center
part toward the outside are negated at least somewhat.
1. Check the connecting flange for roundness and true axial run
out ( Tab. 6.1, page 37).
2. Align and fasten the connecting flange to the universal joint
shaft according to the installation situation ( system
documentation).
