FLENDER K.A Series, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 55 / 128

● Mount the input elements (e.g. coupling parts) on the shafts and lock them securely.
● If these input elements must be fitted hot, the joining temperatures required are listed in the
dimension drawings in the coupling operating instructions.
● Unless otherwise specified, heat the coupling parts by an induction heater, with a torch or
in an oven.
● The elements must be quickly pulled onto the shaft as far as stated in the dimension drawing
prepared in accordance with order specifications.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to shaft sealing rings due to heat
Shaft sealing rings can be damaged if they are heated up to over 100 °C.
Use the appropriate heat shields to protect against radiant heat.
NOTICE
Damage as a result of blows or impact
Damage in the gear unit as a result of blows or impact as possible.
Pull on the coupling using the appropriate pulling equipment.
Avoid damaging the shaft sealing rings and the shaft running surfaces when fitting coupling
parts.
NOTICE
Poor alignment
The gear unit or individual components can be damaged as a result of poor alignment.
When installing and mounting the drive ensure that the individual components are precisely
aligned with one another.
Inadmissibly high alignment errors of the shaft ends to be connected as a result of angular or
axial offset result in premature wear and material damage.
Base frames or substructures that are too soft can cause the coupling parts to become radially
and/or axially displaced during operation. This displacement is not measurable when the drive
is at a standstill.
Further information
Further information about removing the corrosion protection can be found in the operating
instructions BA 7300 in the complete documentation for the gear unit.
Additional information on how gear units should be attached which, as a result of their weight,
require a crane or lifting gear, is provided in chapter Application planning (Page 45).
If the gear unit is transported with mounted parts and components, then it may be necessary to
use additional attachment points. The position of these attachment points can be found in the
order-specific dimension drawing in the complete documentation for the gear unit.
