Align the gear unit
Align the gear unit in the horizontal plane
Procedure
1. Put the gear unit in the correct position, as shown in the certified drawing.
For instructions on how to lift the gear unit, refer to section
2. If it is necessary to install the gear unit in a position that is different from the position
in the certified drawing, speak to H.I.T.
3. Put the gear unit on a rigid and stable bedplate or foundation.
4. Use 3 bolt holes and align the gear unit. Only use the bolt holes that are shown in the
certified drawing.
5. Make sure that the inclination is correct. Refer to section
page 53.
6. Adjust the vertical position at the other bolt holes. Use spacers.
7. Make sure that the vertical adjustment of the other bolt holes agrees with the
specification. Refer to section
on page 53.
Align the LSS (multi-stage)
Caution: Obey the specifications. If not, the lifetime of the bearings and the
couplings will be decreased.
Procedure
1. Make sure that only the external loads that agree with the order acknowledgement or
the certified drawing work on the gear unit. This includes the loads of the machine in
operation.
2. Make sure that the combination of the angular and radial misalignment agrees with
Align the LSS (single stage)
Procedure
1. Make sure that the misalignment is not more than specified. Refer to section
Misalignment of the HSS (couplings)
2. If you use a flexible gear coupling, speak to H.I.T. and give all external causes that
have an effect on the gear unit.
3. Wait until H.I.T. gives specifications for the misalignment.
4. Make sure that the misalignment is not more than these specifications.
