6.5.2.1 Fitting with integrated DU bush
•
Fit the gear unit by means of a nut and a threaded spindle. The support 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. The correct position can be determined by turning the input
shaft and/or by swivelling the gear unit lightly around the hollow shaft.

6.5.2.2 Fitting with loose DU bush
The loose DU bush is pushed onto the machine shaft, fixed rigidly in position with a locating tie and then
pulled into the hollow shaft along with the machine shaft (see fig. 47).
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. The correct position can be determined by turning the input
shaft and/or by swivelling the gear unit lightly around the hollow shaft.
Instead of the nut and threaded spindle shown in the diagram, other types of equipment such as a hydraulic
lifting equipment (type "Lukas") may be used.
The hollow shaft may be tightened against a machineshaft collar only if the gearunit
configuration is one of the following:
Torque arm
Support with gearunit swing base
With a different arrangement the bearings may be excessively stressed.
6.5.2.3 Axial fastening
Depending on type, secure the hollow shaft axially on the machine shaft (e.g. with locking ring, end plate,
set screw).
