6.2
Unpacking
The products supplied are listed in the despatch papers. Check immediately on receipt to ensure that all
the products listed have actually been delivered. Parts damaged and/or missing parts must be reported
to Siemens in writing immediately.
The packaging must not be opened or damaged, when this is part of the preservation method!
•
Remove packaging material and transporting equipment and dispose of in accordance with
regulations.
•
Perform a visual check for any damage and contamination.
If there is any visible damage, the gear unit must not be put into operation. The
instructions in section 4, "Transport and storage", must be observed.
6.3
Installation of gear unit on housing base
6.3.1
Description of installation work
The gear unit must not be cleaned in an explosive environment.
•
Remove the corrosionpreventive agent on the shafts using a suitable cleaning agent.
The cleaning agent must not be allowed to come into contact with the shaftsealing
rings.
Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not smoke.
Danger of explosion!
•
Fit and secure input and output drive elements (e.g. coupling components) on the shafts.
If these are to be heated before fitting, refer to the dimensioned drawings in the coupling documentation
for the correct joining temperatures.
Unless otherwise specified, the components may be heated inductively, with a burner, or in a furnace.
Take precautions to avoid burns from hot parts!
Wear suitable protective gloves!
Protect shaftsealing rings from damage and heating to over + 100 °C
(use heatprotective screens to protect against radiant heat).
The elements must be pulled smartly onto the shaft as far as stated in the dimensioned drawing prepared
in accordance with the order.
Fit the coupling with the aid of suitable fitting equipment (see also item 6.4). The parts
must not be driven on by abrupt force, as this may damage the gear unit.
The shaftsealing rings and running surfaces of the shaft must not be damaged when
pulling in the coupling parts.
When installing the drives, make absolutely certain that the individual components are
accurately aligned in relation to each other. Inadmissibly large errors in the alignment
of the shaft ends to be connected due to angular and/or axial misalignments result in
premature wear and/or material damage.
Insufficiently rigid base frames or substructures can also during operation cause
a radial and/or axial misalignment, which cannot be measured when the unit is at
a standstill.
Gear units whose weight requires the use of lifting gear must be attached at the points shown
in section 4, "Transport and storage". If the gear unit is to be transported with addon parts,
additional attachment points may be required. The position of these attachment points is
shown in the order related dimensioned drawing.
