FLENDER K.A Series, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 57 / 128

Tools
The following tools are needed to perform the final fine alignment (Page 71) work on the shaft
axes of the gear unit and the equipment installed on the input and output sides.
● Rulers
● Spirit level
● Dial gauge
● Feeler gauge etc.
Once the gear unit is finely aligned, tighten the foundation bolts and check the settings again.
Record the alignment dimensions and keep the report in a safe place together with these
operating instructions.
Installation on a foundation frame
Requirements
The following requirements must be fulfilled before the assembly work commences:
● The foundation must be horizontal and level.
● When tightening the fastening bolts, make sure that the gear unit is free of mechanical
stress.
NOTICE
Poor stability
Damage to the gear unit is possible if it is not mounted on a stable foundation.
Make sure that the foundation frame is horizontal and level. It is particularly important that the
surface on which the gear unit is mounted is level because this determines the contact pattern
of the teeth and the load on the bearings, and so has an influence on the service life of the gear
unit. All points on the gear unit mounting surface must lie between two imaginary parallel
planes that are 0.1 mm per 1 m apart.
Design the foundation frame according to the relevant weight and torque, taking into account
the forces acting on the gear unit. The feet of the gear unit must be properly supported. Base
frames or substructures that are too soft can result in radial or axial displacement during
operation. This displacement is not measurable when the drive is at a standstill.
Procedure
To install the gear unit on a foundation frame, proceed as follows:
1. Clean the underside of the gear unit feet.
2. Use suitable hoisting gear to set the gear unit down on the foundation frame.
