The installation of the machine should be planned as early as possible.
Before lifting the machine onto the foundation:
•
Check that the position of the fixing holes and the height of the foundation are
in agreement with corresponding measurements on outline and foundation
drawings in
Annex 1. Main Dimension Drawing.
•
Check that the foundation is flat. If any inclination has been agreed upon, the
permissible inclination must be stated on the installation drawing.
•
Sweep or vacuum-clean the foundation.
Additional instructions for single bearing generator
•
Check that the dimensions of the flange, coupling discs and offset are in
accordance with corresponding measurements on dimension drawings.
•
Check that the offset (AH) is in accordance with corresponding measurement
on dimension drawing (see
Figure 3-1.
below).
Figure 3-1. Connection with the engine.
NOTE: To measure the AH, it is better if choose four different positions on
the circle: top, bottom, right, left, i.e. 90
o
, and select the average
value of them.
3.1.4 Disassembly of the transport locking device
All machines with sleeve or roller bearings have transport locking devices
installed. For machines with sleeve or cylindrical roller bearings, the transport
locking device is made of a steel bar attached to both the bearing shield on the D-
end and to the end of the shaft extension.
The transport locking device has to be removed prior to installation. The shaft
extension has to be cleaned of its anti-corrosive coating. The locking device
should be stored for future use.
NOTE: In order to avoid bearing damages, the transport locking device must be
fitted to the machine whenever the machine is moved, transported to
another location or stored, see
Chapter 2.1.1. Protective measures prior
to transport
.
3.1.5 Coupling type
Machines with rolling bearings must be connected to the driven machine with
flexible couplings, e.g. pin couplings, or gear couplings.
