3.2 Long-term storage Note! For storage or standstill periods in excess of 9 months, Getriebebau NORD recommends the long-term storage option. With the long-term storage option and the use of the measures listed below, storage for up to 2 years is possible. As the actual influences on the unit greatly depend on the local conditions, these times should only be regarded as guide values.
If geared motors have an additional eyebolt attached to the motor, this must not be used. When lifting with the ring bolts, there must be no oblique force. Figure 3-1: Gear unit lifting points For additional drive units and components, an additional lifting point may be necessary. www.nord.com B1050-GB-0213...

Gear units on motor swing base or base frame Gear units on a motor swing base or base frame must only be transported with vertically tensioned lifting ropes (1) or chains. Figure 3-4: Transport of gear unit with motor swing base or base frame www.nord.com B1050-GB-0213 -11-...
Ensure that no aggressive or corrosive substances are present in the area surrounding the installation site or are subsequently expected during operation, which attack metal, lubricants or elastomers. In case of doubt, please contact Getriebebau NORD and take the recommended action.
F specified in the catalogue. Observe the correct tension, particularly on belts and chains. Additional loads due to unbalanced hubs are not permitted. The radial force must be applied to the gear unit as closely as possible. www.nord.com B1050-GB-0213 -13-...
The gear unit can be fitted to shafts with and without a shoulder using the fastening element (Option B). Tighten the bolt of the fastening element to the correct torque. (See Chapter 6.4 for tightening torque values) Figure 3-7: Assembly -14- B1050-GB-0213 www.nord.com...

6. Mount the motor to the adapter; do not forget to fit the gear rim or the sleeve. 7. Tighten the adapter bolts to the correct torque. (See Chapter 6.4 for torque values) Figure 3-11: Fitting the coupling to the motor shaft Attention! The operating instructions for the coupling must be observed. -18- B1050-GB-0213 www.nord.com...
3.13 Mounting the external cooling system (cooling unit) Attention! The separate manufacturer’s documentation must be observed for assembly. Connect the cooling system according to Fig. 3-14. Other connection plans can be agreed upon during consultation with NORD. www.nord.com B1050-GB-0213 -19-...
3. Storage, Transport, Preparation, Installation Attention! With circulation lubrication (LC) use the connection diagram included by NORD. (1) Gear unit intake connection (2) Pump / cooling system intake connection (3) Cooling system pressure connection (4) Gear unit pressure connection (5) Temperature monitoring (optional)
Caution! The drive unit may only be put into operation after the cooling coil has been connected and put into operation. www.nord.com B1050-GB-0213 -21-...
Fans require guards in order to prevent injuries. A cover can be used as a guard. If this does not achieve sufficient protection against contact according to the required protection type, the machinery and plant constructor must ensure this be means of special attached components. -22- B1050-GB-0213 www.nord.com...
Connect the pressure safeguard so as to be fully functional before starting operation for the first time. The pressure safeguard can only be used in combination with a monitoring system. Note! Evaluate the pressure safeguard after initially operating the pump, as pressure must be built www.nord.com B1050-GB-0213 -23-...
Sec. 3.6 Are contact guards fitted to rotating components? Sec. 3.8 Is the cooling system connected? Sec. 3.14/4.3 Is a grease-filled gap visible with Taconite seals? Sec. 4.5 Has the pressure safeguard been functionally connected? Sec. 4.7 -24- B1050-GB-0213 www.nord.com...
Have the gear unit repaired in case of leaks, e.g. dripping gear oil or cooling water, damage or cracks. Please contact the NORD service department. Check for running noises If the gear unit produces unusual running noises and/or vibrations, this could indicate damage to the gear unit In this case the gear should be shut down and a general overhaul carried out.
