Aligning the machine to the driven machine and mounting (IM V1)

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

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
3. Lower the machine slowly toward the driven machine and into the centering, so that the
4. If necessary, rotate the machine into the right position so that the clearance holes in the
5. Lower the machine completely onto the mating flange so that it is fully in contact; then
6. Fix the machine using the flange fixing bolts.
