The final fine alignment with the units on the in­ and output side must be carried out accurately by the shaft
axes, using:
─ Rulers
─ Spirit level
─
Clock gauge
─
Feeler gauge, etc.
Only then should the gear unit be fastened, and after this the alignment should be checked once again.
• Record the alignment dimensions.
Note
The record must be kept with these instructions.
DANGER
Danger to life through flying fragments
Non­observance of the alignment accuracy can cause shaft rupture, resulting in serious injury and
danger to life.
Align the gear unit precisely (adhere to the specified values).
Risk of damage to the gear unit or its components or add­on parts.
The accuracy of shaft­axis alignment is an important factor for the life span of shafts, bearings and
couplings. If possible, the deviation should be zero (exception: ZAPEX couplings). For the special
requirements for the couplings, refer to the pertinent operating instructions as well.
