Vertical Types Of Construction With Flange; Removing The Rotor Shipping Brace - Siemens SIMOTICS GP series Operating Instructions Manual

5.4.2.4

Vertical types of construction with flange

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.
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
studs act as positioning aids.
3. Lower the machine slowly toward the driven machine and into the centering, so that the
flanges do not quite touch. Lowering too quickly risks damaging the centering.
4. If necessary, rotate the machine into the right position so that the clearance holes in the
flange are central to the tapped holes.
5. Lower the machine completely onto the mating flange so that it is fully in contact; then
remove the studs.
6. Fix the machine using the flange fixing bolts.

Removing the rotor shipping brace

If a rotor shipping brace is attached to the machine, remove it at the last possible moment,
for example, when you are ready to push on the output or drive element.
Store the rotor locking device
Be sure to store the rotor locking device. It must be remounted for possible disassembly and
transport.
Details about the alignment accuracy can be found in the Section "Information about the
machine dimension drawing".
