Toothed components The externally toothed components of the gear unit are casehardened. Helicalgear teeth are ground or lapped. The high quality of the teeth leads to a significant noise reduction and ensures safe and reliable running. The gear wheels are joined to the shafts by interference fits and parallel keys. These types of joints transmit with adequate reliability the torques generated.
5.6.2 Labyrinth seals Labyrinth seals are noncontacting seals. They therefore require no maintenance and ensure favourable temperature characteristics. Fig. 7: Fey labyrinth seal For reliable operation, the labyrinth seals require stationary, horizontal positioning away from dirty water and heavy dust. Overfilling of the gear unit can cause leakage, as can oil with high foam content.
Cooling Depending on requirements, the gear unit is fitted with a cooling coil, an addedon oilsupply system with water oilcooler or a separately provided oilsupply system. In the case of a separate oilsupply system, the specific instructions for this oilsupply system must be observed. 5.7.1 The fan is mounted on the highspeed shaft of the gear unit and is protected from accidental contact by an air guide cover.
5.7.4 External oilsupply system It is possible to use an oilsupply system which is separately supplied by Siemens or an external system to ensure cooling of the oil. Be sure to observe the operating instructions of the oilsupply system for operation and maintenance.
The stop direction can be changed by turning the cage around. If a change in stop direction is required, Siemens should be consulted beforehand. To avoid damaging the backstop or the gear unit, the motor must not be run adversely to the stop direction of the gear unit.
Specific heating output P as a function of the ambient temperature Table 7: Ambient temperature (W/cm²) °C + 10 to 0 0 to - 25 - 25 to - 50 Be sure to observe the operating instructions of the heating elements for operation and maintenance.
Fitting Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"! General information on fitting When transporting the gear unit observe the notes in section 4. Fitting work must be done with great care by authorised, trained and qualified personnel. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect assembly and installation.
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! •...
Protect shaftsealing rings from damage and heating to over + 100 °C (use heatprotective screens to protect against radiant heat.) The shaftsealing rings and running surfaces of the shaft must not be damaged when pulling in the coupling parts. Fit the coupling with the aid of suitable fitting equipment. The parts must not be driven on by abrupt force, as this may damage the gear unit (see also item 6.7).
6.3.2.2 Mounting on a foundation frame • Clean the undersurface of the gearunit base. • Using suitable lifting gear, place the gear unit on the foundation frame. • Tighten the foundation bolts to the specified torque (see item 6.20); if necessary, use stops to prevent displacement.

6.5.1.1 Fitting with redbronze bush • Fit the gear unit by means of nut and threaded spindle. The counterforce is provided by the hollow shaft. The hollow shaft must be exactly aligned with the machine shaft to avoid canting. When fitting, ensure that the position of the teeth between the machine shaft and hollow shaft is correct.
Shrink disk The shrink disk realizes a pressfit connection between a hollow shaft and a stub/machine shaft (in the following called "stub shaft"). The interference fit can transfer torques, bending moments and forces. The jointing pressure between the hollow and stub shafts generated by the shrink disk is essential for the torque and force transmission.
Page 39
M 16 M 33 2650 The shrink disk has been identitymarked on the outer ring (4). In case of contacting Siemens this identification must be referred to. For safety reasons, a protective cover should be mounted to prevent contact! This cover must be applied after completion of all works on the shrink disk.
6.6.2 Demounting the shrink disk • Remove the protective cover. • Remove any rust deposits from the shaft and the hollow shaft. Under no circumstances must the tensioning bolts be unscrewed one after the other. • Undo all tensioning bolts one after the other by approx. 1/4 turn. The stored energy of the outer ring is slowly loosened during disassembly via the bolts to be loosened.
For permissible alignment errors in the case of couplings supplied by Siemens, please refer to the operating instruction manuals for the couplings. If you use couplings manufactured by other manufacturers, ask these manufacturers which alignment errors are permissible, stating the radial loads occurring.
