Fastening the support base (IM B5)
At the bottom of the machine, there is a plate with a threaded hole M36x40 where you can
fasten the support base.
● Mount the support base so that no additional mechanical tensions can occur in the housing.
Mechanical tensions
The machine may be damaged by additional mechanical tensions in the housing caused by
incorrect mounting of the support base. The machine or machine parts may loosen during
operation.
This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Mount the support base so that no additional mechanical tensions can occur in the housing.
5.3.7
Aligning the machine to the driven machine and attaching it to it (IM V1, IM V10)
The standard flange is provided with a centering. The choice of fit for the mating flange on the
driven machine is the system manufacturer's or the plant operator's responsibility.
Note
If the machine is not fitted with a standard flange, align the machine to suit the driven machine.
Procedure
The machine axis must be vertical when it is lifted and the flange must be parallel to the mating
flange, so as to avoid seizing and stressing. Otherwise damage to the centering will result.
1. Grease the centering flange with assembly paste to make the process easier.
2. Screw in two studs into tapped holes on opposite sides of the driven machine flange. The
