Aligning the machine to the driven machine and attaching it to it (IM B5)

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 horizontal 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 three studs into tapped holes spaced about 120° apart around the driven machine

3. Position the machine so that its axis is aligned with that of the driven machine, but not yet

4. If necessary, rotate the machine into the right position so that the clearance holes in the

5. Move the machine fully up against the mating flange so that it is fully in contact.

6. Fix the machine using the flange fixing bolts, finishing by replacing the studs.
