1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The following instructions will help you achieve a satisfactory installation of your Cone Drive Series B
unit, ensuring the best possible conditions for a long and trouble free operation.
All units are tested and checked prior to shipment, a great deal of care is taken in packing and
shipping arrangements to ensure that the unit arrives at the customer in the approved condition.
Optimum performance is best achieved by a process of gradual load increments, up to the full value,
over the first 50 hours or so of their working life. During these early stages of running, sensible
precautions should be taken to avoid overloads.
The gear unit operating temperature may be higher during this period of run-in. A progressive
reduction in temperature may occur over many hours until the unit has reached its highest efficiency.
2. MOUNTING OF COMPONENTS TO EITHER THE UNIT INPUT OR OUTPUT SHAFT
Shaft dimensions and tolerances are on page 13 of Series B Catalog.
-
Items (such as gears, sprockets, couplings etc) should not be hammered onto these shafts
since this would damage the shaft support bearings.
-
The item should be pushed onto the shaft using hydraulic or hand press with the shaft sup-
ported at the opposite end.
3. WEATHER PROTECTION OF UNIT
All Series B units are provided with protection against normal weather conditions. Where units are
to operate in extreme conditions, or where they are to stand for long periods without running, e.g.
during plant construction, we should be notified when ordering so that arrangements for adequate
protection can be made.
