Alignment And Fastening; Repainting/Touching Up The Paint Finish Of Explosion-Protected Machines - Siemens SIMOTICS XP 1MB1 series Operating Instructions Manual

After attaching the mounting feet, you must note the following in order to avoid stressing and
deforming the machine.
● Ensure that the foot mounting surfaces are aligned in one plane and are parallel to the
machine shaft.
● Post-machine the foot mounting surfaces or use thin shims, for example.
● Professionally touch up damaged painted surfaces.

Alignment and fastening

Observe the following when aligning and mounting:
● Ensure a flat and uniform contact surface for foot and flange mounting.
● When mounting on the wall, support the machine from below, e.g. using a bracket, or bolt
it.
● Precisely align the machine when couplings are used.
● Ensure that the mounting surfaces are clean and free of any dirt.
● Remove any anti-corrosion protection using white spirit.
● Avoid installation-related resonances with the rotating frequency and twice the line
frequency.
● Note any unusual noise when the rotor is manually turned.
● Check the direction of rotation with the motor uncoupled.
● Avoid rigid couplings.
● Repair any damage to the paint, this must be done immediately and correctly.
