Preparing the mating faces

Prepare the foundation faces dependent on the machine type:
● Mounting on a foundation
– Ensure that the foundation faces are flat and free of contaminations.
– Check the dimensions of the mounting-foot holes.
● Flange connection
– Clean the flange before installation. Ensure that the flange surfaces are flat and perfectly
– Check the geometry of the flange.
● Wall mounting
– Ensure that the wall faces are flat and free of contaminations.
– Check the dimensions of the mounting-foot holes.
– Support the machine from below, e.g. using a wall bracket or by bolting it.
5.2.5

Selecting fixing screws

● Unless specified otherwise, use mounting bolts with at least strength class 8.8 to ISO 898‑1.
In this way you guarantee that the machine is securely mounted and the forces can be
transferred through the torque.
● Take into account the maximum forces occurring in the case of a fault such as short circuit
or system transfers in phase opposition.
– When selecting the bolts
– When designing the foundation

Installing the machine

● For vertical installation, use all of the eyebolts provided and when necessary, hoisting straps
(DIN EN 1492-1) and/or lashing straps (DIN EN 12195-2) to stabilize the position of the
motor.
● Prevent foreign bodies from falling into the fan cover. For vertical machine installation with
the shaft end facing downwards, attach a protective canopy.
● If the shaft extension is facing upwards, the user must prevent liquid from moving along the
shaft and entering the motor.
● Clean bare metal surfaces with anti-corrosion agent using white spirit to ensure proper
installation and / or machine mounting.
