3.2.2
Articulated shaft
The V-belt drive is usually carried out through an articulated shaft between the power take-off of the
vehicle drive and bearing block (bearing of the belt pulley).
Selection of articulated shaft
Consider the following items during the determination of the articulated shaft:
·
Determine the length of the articulated shaft considering the installation dimensions while paying
attention to the maximum permitted expansion length.
NOTICE
DAMAGE TO THE COMPRESSOR DRIVE!
Incorrect installation of the articulated shaft can result in damage to the compressor drive.
‣
For the maximum permitted extension length of the articulated shaft, refer to the operating manual
of the manufacturer of the articulated shaft and maintain during installation.
NOTE
The selection of the articulated shaft should only
be made
after the test mounting of the
compressor on the vehicle (Chapter 3.7.1 on
page 32), since this is how the precise installa-
tion location of the compressor is determined.
The overall inclination angle α of the articulated shaft
must not exceed 12°.
3.2.3
Direct drive
NOTE
For more information about other drive options for the compressor, please contact GHH RAND.
3.3
Installation and position
The compressor unit must be connected to the vehicle frame using a mounting console (retaining de-
vice). If a mounting console not supplied by GHH RAND is used, the dynamic load resulting from the
weight of the compressor and attachment parts and the condition of the road must be taken into ac-
count when designing it.
In addition, observe the regulations and instructions from the respective vehicle manufacturer.
The screw compressor has a foot attachment. It must be installed on a level, torsion-free base. The screw
compressor must be screwed to the console at all 4 attachment points provided (Chapter 1.7 on page
9).
