THIS REDUCER IS SHIPPED DRY. OILMUST BE ADDED BEFORE OPERATION. SEE TABLE 4FOR LUBRICATION SPECIFICATION.

SAFETYRotary equipment is dangerous unless adequatelyguarded. The user is responsible for complying with allapplicable safety regulations. Adequate safety instructions must be given by the user to personneldirectly responsible for the installation, maintenance, andoperation of the equipment. The gear unit must not beoperated above its service rating.

DAMAGE IN SHIPMENT

Inspect the unit immediately upon receipt of shipment forany signs of rough handling or damage. Any evidence ofthis should be reported immediately to the carrier and aclaim entered. This may show up as scuffed paint, brokenor cracked casting, bend shafts, metal deformation or ashift in alignment of components.

STORAGE

All units are tested before shipment with a rust inhibitingtype of oil which covers interior surfaces. Shaftextensions are coated with drying film rust preventive.

This will provide protection of the units for normal periodsduring installation. Depending upon the severity of storage conditions, the protection could range from a fewmonths for unprotected outside storage, to a year or sofor temperature controlled indoor storage.

LONG TERM STORAGE

For positive long term storage protection, it is recommended that the following procedures be followed:

REDUCER INTERIOR

1. For protection, fill the reducer completely with thesame oil that will be used in operation.

2. Remove breather at top of reducer and insert pipeplug.

3. At the end of the storage period the oil should bedrained out and filled to the proper level with the typeof lubricant specified for operating the reducer. Thebreather should be remounted now.

REDUCER EXTERIOR

All exposed unpainted parts such as shafts should becoated thoroughly with a corrosion preventive compound,solvent cut back type, leaving a firm film. Use Nox RustNo. 369 (Daubert Chemical Co.) or equivalent.

GENERAL

1. The input shaft of every reducer should be rotatedonce a month enough turns to produce one completeturn on the output shaft.This will prevent Water Etchingor False Brinelling of the bearings and seizure of theelastomeric seal lip material on the shaft.

2. Certain storage areas, such as an outside locationclose to salt water, can be quite severe. Under thesecircumstances, a periodic inspection of the equipmentis recommended and retreatment applied if required.

3. For best protection, the equipment should be stored ina climate controlled building to minimize the effects ofsun, moisture, wind, and airborne abrasive material.

WARNING

WARNING

4. If the equipment is stored outside, it should beprotected with a tarpaulin. Optionally, units can beencapsulated in a polyethylene bag. This cover mustbe air tight and include a container of calcium chloridecrystals to absorb moisture. To be effective, thecrystals would need to be replaced at regular intervals.

5. An occasional break in the paint coating causing rustspots may occur during outdoor storage. These spotsshould be cleaned and touched up with paint beforeplacing the equipment in service.

6. Before start up after storage, the unit should bechecked carefully for any rust accumulation on gearsor bearings, or on shafts in the seal areas. Oil sealleakage may result due to seal deterioration or cuttingof the seal lip from rust accumulation on the shaft.Bearing cover and housing bolts should be checked tobe sure they are tight.

ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT SHOULD ALSO BEPROTECTED

MOTORS

The bearings are usually pre-lubricated. Refer to motormanufacturer for storage protection and re-lube period.Use protective cover to keep out water.

INSTALLATION

BUSHING AND KEY ASSEMBLY

Stock bushing sizes are shown in the product catalogtable. These sizes will adapt Shaft Mount reducers to themost commonly used driven shaft sizes.

A bushing set includes a taper bushing, two locknuts, onelockwasher, and a drive key. See figure 1.

Figure 1 - Bushing Parts Breakdown

MOUNTING POSITION

After the motor and torque arm positions have beendetermined, the Shaft Mount Drive should be in one ofthe six positions A, B, C, D, E, or F. See therecommended mounting positions for the doublereduction reducers in figures 2 and 3 and for singlereduction reducers in figures 4 and 5.

NOTE the change in oil level plug locations for outputspeed below 30 rpm shown in figure 3 for double reduction units and figure 5 for single reduction units.

Numbered items are as follows:1 - Bushing and Breather2 - Oil Level Plug3 - Magnetic Drain Plug

Figure 2 - Double Reduction Oil Level Above 30 RPM

The exact angle at which the reducer ismounted is not critical. However, if the drive must bemounted in a position which varies more than 10° (0.17radians) from illustrations A, B, C, or D, consult thefactory for the proper oil level. The preferred positions areindicated by illustrations A and C in figures 2 and 3 fordouble reduction units and illustrations A and D for singlereduction units.

The reducer may be mounted with the hollow shaft axisinclined as indicated in figure 6, not to exceed 15° (0.26radians).

Figure 6 - Double Reduction Oil Level Above 30 RPM

The location of the breather, oil level plug, and drain plugremain unchanged and should be determined from figures 2 – 4.

If the angle of inclination exceeds 15° (0.26 radians), orthere is angular variation in more than one plane refer tothe factory for operation and lubrication instructions.

MOTOR LOCATION

The belt tension for the shaft mount is adjusted with theturnbuckle in the torque arm or by movement of the motorplatform on the optional piggyback motor mount.

For units without a piggyback motor mount, the V-beltdrive may be located in any convenient positionregardless of the location of the torque arm. The mostcommon location, however, is shown in figure 7 [90°(1.57 radians)] to a line between the input and outputshafts. This location permits control of belt tension with aminimum adjustment of the torque arm turnbuckle.

TORQUE ARM LOCATION

Since the entire reaction force acts through the torquearm, the mounting bracket must be firmly attached to asolid support.

On single and double reduction reducers, the torque armmounting bracket point is provided as shown in figure 8.

Figure 8

The most efficient angle of the torque arm to the housingis at 90° (1.57 radians) to a line between the center of thehollow shaft and the torque arm holding bolt. The torquearm can descend up to 30° (0.52 rad) from the horizontaland ascend up to angle A defined in table 1 as illustratedin figure 8.

The length of the torque arm may be reduced by cuttingmaterial from the threaded end of the rod.

SHEAVES AND BELTS

In mounting these items, the center of the load should belocated no farther out than one shaft diameter away fromthe bearing cover. Otherwise, excessive overhungloading could exist resulting in early failures to bearings,shafts and gearing. Refer to Table 2 for applicableminimum sheave diameters.

The driver and driven sheaves should be properlyaligned. A straight edge laid across the face of thesheaves will aid in installation. The straight edge shouldlay evenly across both sheaves with no gaping. See figure 9.

Figure 9

Belts should not be too tight as this canplace excessive loading on the connected elements.Refer to V-Belt manufacturer’s data for proper tension.

Excessive belt tension can greatly reduceV-Belt life and result in serious damage to the motorand reducer.

MINIMUM DIAMETER FOR DRIVEN SHEAVES

IMPORTANT: In selecting the V-Belt drive,make certain that the driven sheave is at least as large asshown in table 2. This is necessary to prevent excessiveloading on the bearings, shafts, and gearing. Use ofsmaller diameters may be possible with dueconsideration for sheave location, motor horsepower, andservice factor. Consult the factory for review ofsmaller diameters.

GENERAL

When sheaves are furnished with reducers, they aregenerally mounted at the factory.

If sheaves are to be mounted in the field, extreme careshould be used. It is quite easy to damage internalmembers by heavy blows used in sheave mounting.Select a sheave bore to give a tapping or light driving fit.If necessary, the sheave bore should be enlarged toprovide this class of fit. If a press fit is required, wesuggest the sheave be heated to expand the bore beforeinstallation. Heating above 250° F (121° C) is notrecommended due to possible damage of the oil seal byheat conduction through the shaft.

BACKSTOP INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE–DOUBLE REDUCTION 8107 – 8407 AND 8415H25

BACKSTOP INSTALLATION

1. Remove the four screws from the cover plate oppositethe input shaft extension side of the reducer.

2. Insert key in backstop keyway. Leave about 0.25” (6.4mm) of key in keyway with the greater length of the keyextending outside the end face of the backstop.

3. Where applicable, install the retainer ring on the back-stop before inserting into the housing.

4. Lubricate the end of the shaft before inserting back-stop. DO NOT USE AN ANTI-SEIZE COMPOUND ASLUBRICANT.

5. Position backstop over input shaft so the arrow (etchedin backstop) points in the same direction as motor rota-tion. See figure 10.

Figure 10

6. Turn the input shaft with one hand in the normaldirection of the rotation while inserting the backstop inthe housing. The key should be aligned with the key-way in the housing now and the backstop should movein easily. When installing the backstop, do not applypressure to the side plates of the backstop. Drive onlyon the outer race. See figure 11. The backstop shouldbe positioned with the retaining ring flush against thehousing.

7. Test the direction of rotation to make certain theinstallation is correct.

8. Where applicable, install the grease plate and replacethe gasket and cover plate. Tighten the screws toprevent leakage.

BACKSTOP REMOVAL

Removal of the backstop is basically the reverse of theassembly procedure.

If the backstop cannot be easily removed from thehousing, it may be necessary to remove the retaining ringand use the retaining ring grove with a suitable puller toextract the backstop from the housing bore.

Figure 11

Note: In sizes 8107 through 8407 and 8415H25, the gearoil also lubricates the backstop.

If a backstop fails, the input shaft shouldalso be replaced as it probably was damaged during thefailure process.

WHEN A BACKSTOP IS USED WITH THEREDUCER, DO NOT USE LUBRICANTS OF THE EPTYPE (EXTREME PRESSURE CHARACTERISTICS),OR THOSE CONTAINING SLIPPERY ADDITIVES.

BACKSTOP MAINTENANCE – DOUBLE REDUCTION 8415H15

For this unit size, an external backstop is used. The manufacturer does not recommend repair in the field, norattempting to change direction of rotation in the field. Ineither case, the backstop should be returned to the factory.

BACKSTOP OIL FILLING PROCEDURE

1. Remove plugs A and B as shown in figure 12 and addoil through A until oil flows from B. See backstop lubricantchart, table 3, for proper lubricant.

If reducer is mounted at an angle in anyplane, consult factory for proper backstop lubricant levels.

2. Install both plugs and tighten to prevent leakage. Plugsconsists of a button head screw and leather washer. Besure washer is in place.

BACKSTOP OIL LUBRICATION MAINTENANCE

Reducers used in high humidity conditions, such as waste-water treatment plants, or subject to large temperature variations will incur internalmoisture condensation. Pressure relief breathers are recommended for these type of applications. Oil analysisshould also be performed frequently to check for watercontamination.

1. Check oil level daily. (See “Maintenance checkpoints”.)

2. Add oil, if necessary, to the proper fluid level.3. Flushing is recommended every six months for up to

12 hours per day operation, and every three months for12 to 24 hours per day operation. For extremely dustyor dirty operating conditions, it may be necessary to change oil at more frequent intervals tokeep oil clean. When oil becomes contaminated or oxidized (dark colored), the backstop should beflushed and oil changed.

Drain oil from backstop, fill with Mobil Oil Solvosol orequivalent, and run for several minutes. Then removedrain plugs in backstop and drain fluid. Add fresh oil(see Oil Filling Procedure).

BACKSTOP DISASSEMBLY

1. To take off the backstop, drain oil from the backstopand remove backstop cap by unscrewing cap screws,holding it to the backstop body. Remove the retainingring. The backstop and torque arm can be pulled off byprying between the torque arm and the housing, or byuse of a gear puller. The manufacturer does not recommend repair in the field, nor attempting tochange direction of rotation in the field. In either case,the backstop should be returned to the factory.

2. Clean off all sealant from the shaft surfaces as well asthe key, keyways, and backstop bore. Flush out backstop with Mobil Oil SOLVOSOL or equivalent. Donot use carbon tetrachloride.

BACKSTOP ASSEMBLY

1. IMPORTANT: Before replacing the backstop, coat thor-oughly the shaft surface under the backstop, the shaftkeyway, the backstop bore and its keyway, and the keywith room temperature vulcanizing sealant (RTV)General Electric RTV-102 or Permatex No. 2.

LUBRICATION

THIS REDUCER IS SHIPPED DRY. OILMUST BE ADDED BEFORE OPERATION. SEE TABLE 4FOR LUBRICATION SPECIFICATIONS.

The oil used should be a high quality product, having rust and oxidation inhibitors, anti-foaming agent, a highviscosity index (preferability above 90) and a low acidcontent. It should be neutral in reaction, free from girt orabrasives and non-corrosive to gears or bearings.

IMPORTANT: WHEN A BACKSTOP ISFURNISHED WITH THE REDUCER, DO NOT USELUBRICANTS OF THE EP TYPE, (EXTREME PRES-SURE CHARACTERISTICS), OR THOSE CONTAININGSLIPPERY ADDITIVES.

LOW TEMPERATURE OPERATION

The pour point of the oil should, at minimum, be equal tothe lowest ambient starting temperature. For best results,the pour point should be 5 to 10 degrees F (2.8 to 5.6degrees C) below the lowest ambient starting temperature.

For reducers operating in ambient temperatureconditions below 15° F (-9.4° C) special lubrication isrequired. Refer to factory for recommendations, givingexpected ambient temperature and operating cycle.

HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION

When ambient temperatures exceed 125° F (51.6° C)special lubrication, special oil seals, and/or increasedcooling of the reducer may be required. Refer to factory forrecommendations, giving expected ambient temperatureand operating cycle.

HIGH SPEED OPERATION

When input speed exceeds 1800 rpm, special lubrication,and increased cooling of the reducer may be required.Refer to factory for recommendations, giving expectedambient temperature and operating cycle.

CHANGE CYCLE

The first oil change should be made after two weeks, or100 hours of operation. After this, we recommend changing reducer oil every 2500 hours or six months,whichever occurs first. Consider seasonal temperaturechanges when changing oil. Operating conditions canvary this guide line. Abnormal temperatures andcontamination can seriously affect the lubricant causing

early sludging, oxidation, and acid formation. Underthese conditions, a sample of the lubricant should besubmitted to the petroleum supplier at periodic intervals.This will establish a change cycle which will provide forrenewal of the oil before its degradation.

TABLE 4

Where the lubricant contains Lead Naphthenate (an EPadditive) the reducer oil sump temperature should notexceed 160° F (70° C).

Always fill the speed reducer to the oil levelindicator for proper lubrication.

When a backstop is furnished with thereducer, do not use lubricants of the EP type, (ExtremePressure Characteristics), or those containing slipperyadditives.

FOOD AND DRUG INDUSTRY

Some operations in the Food and Drug Industry requirespecial lubrication considerations in view of possible

toxicity from contamination by the oil or grease used inthe equipment. Some EP products contain LeadNaphthenate, Phosphorus, or Chlorine which are toxicand could be harmful.

In the Food (including animal food) andDrug Industry, consult the petroleum supplier forrecommendation of lubricants which are acceptable tothe Food and Drug Administrations and/or otherauthoritative bodies having jurisdiction.

OPERATION

START UP

Verify the rating of the reducer (indicated on thenameplate and certified print) to be sure that servicerating, RPM or speed range, thermal rating, and anyoverhung or thrust loading are not exceeded in actualoperation. If input speed exceeds 1800 rpm, refer tofactory for operation and lubrication recommendations.

1. Make sure reducer is filled with correct lubricant to theproper level. Refer to the section of this bulletin onlubrication and/or the nameplate affixed to the reducer.

2. Check for free rotation of all elements. In many cases,the input shaft of the reducer can be turned by handeven with a connected load.

3. Check all bolts and cap screws to make sure they aretight.

4. Check belts for proper tension and alignment.

After energizing motive power, if anyundue noise occurs, shut off power IMMEDIATELY.

5. Observe temperature rise. This may take up to fourhours to stabilize. In some instances the temperaturein the oil sump may rise as much as 100° F (38° C)above the ambient. Actual operating temperature willvary slightly with the reducer size, ratio, type, and oper-ating conditions.

Under no circumstances should the oilbath temperature exceed 200° F (93° C). If this shouldoccur, consult the factory. The housing and the shaft nextto the high speed seal may show temperaturesignificantly above 200° F (93° C). This will diminish asthe seal and shaft sealing area wear in. Application of oilat this area during the break-in period will aid thisprocess. Bearings can produce localized heating fromcramping, either radial or axially. Check for insufficientend play. Many times the reducer temperature is judgedby the touch of a hand and may be considered to be quitehot. The only positive method is to use a surfacetemperature measuring instrument or by using athermometer directly in the oil bath.

6. About one month after start-up, check all bolts fortightness. Re-tighten as required. This refers to allcomponents in the drive train.

Do not operate this unit beyond itsservice rating as any resulting failure could causedamage to property or life and limb.

The system of connected rotating partsmust be free from critical speed, torsional or other type ofvibration, no matter how induced. The responsibility forthis system analysis lies with the purchaser of the speedreducer.

BREATHER

Each unit is equipped with a breather. This should becleaned at intervals to insure that it is working properly.

MAINTENANCE CHECK POINTS

For optimum protection and preventive maintenance,inspect the reducer daily. Points to cover are:

1. OIL LEAKAGE at oil seal, housing split, bearing capshims, and pipe fittings. Tighten housing bolts, bearingcap bolts and pipe fittings and/or replace oil seal ifleakage is sufficient to cause rapid drop in oil level. Itmay be necessary to add sealant between bearing capshim packs and the housing, or at the housing split.

2. OIL LEVEL Any undue drop in oil level is a sign of oilleakage from some point on the reducer and should becorrected. The oil level should be checked when thereducer is not running.

3. TEMPERATURE Check the actual temperature of theoil bath, gear case, and shafts at various points. Thisshould be done after the unit has been in operation atleast two hours. The average oil bath temperature is140° F (60° C) however, the range can vary from 100°F to 200° F (38° C to 93° C). Bearings can producelocalized heating from cramping either radial or axial.Check for insufficient end play. Any undue rise intemperature above that normally encountered and notaccountable for by a rise in the ambient should beinvestigated. Low oil level, abnormal loading, thickeningof lubricant, and bearing seizure are possible sources. Ifa particular bearing is a heat source, the housing areaadjacent to the bearing would warm up.

4. SOUND LEVEL A sudden change in the sound levelis a possible indication of low oil level undue thinningout of lubricant, abnormal loading, or deterioration ofinternal parts.

Noise is usually difficult to isolate because sound cantravel throughout an entire drive system. A noise can

be pinpointed to a specific area by determining itsapproximate frequency and if it is at accurate regularintervals.

5. LUBRICANT CONDITION A change of color in the oilor thickening or unexplainable corrosion of internalparts is an indication that the lubricant has deterioratedand should be changed.

6. LOADING Periodic load checks are valuable in makingsure that the reducer rating is not exceeded.

7. OIL BREATHER Must be kept clean.

8. VIBRATION A change in the vibration normallyassociated with the system can indicate worn parts.

9. DIRT ACCUMULATION Any undue accumulation ofdirt on the reducer or in fan components where fansare used will affect proper cooling of the unit.

10. GREASE PURGE For units equipped with anoptional grease purged sealing system, lubricateonce per week with a high quality Lithium basegrease NLGI number 2 consistency.

OIL SEALS

All oil seals used in these units are dual lip type, and havea synthetic elastomer lip material. They areprovided with a spring back of the inner lip which exertsconstant pressure and keeps the lip in contact with theshaft.Some units are equipped with an optional grease purgedsealing system for use in areas subjected to aconsiderable accumulation of external foreign matter.This consists of an exterior shroud covering the oil sealand a grease fitting.

In any disassembly of the reducer or removal of bearingcaps, it is recommended that all oil seals be replaced.

CHANGING SEALS

1. If the unit is sheave driven, the driven sheave must beremoved to gain access to the oil seal on the inputshaft. To change oil seals on the output shaft, removereducer from the driven shaft. See REDUCERREMOVAL for further information.

2. Remove grease shroud, if so equipped, from cover.Drill two holes in the seal face 180° (3.14 radians)apart. Insert large sheet metal screws and leave about0.18 inches (4.76 mm) length of screw under the screwhead exposed. Use a pry bar with the notch at one endunder the screw heat to lift the seal out. See figure 15.

CAUTION

WARNING

10

Figure 15

3. Take care not to damage the seal bore in the bearingcap or the shaft surface when removing the old seal.

4. Examine the new oil seal for cuts or imperfections in thelip. The lip should have a smooth and uninterruptededge with no flashes from molding. The outsidediameter of the seal should be free from scratches andburrs. Test the seal for grip on the shaft upon which ithas to run; it should not be loose but should offer somedrag to axial movement. If the seal is not satisfactory,discard it and try another one.

5. Clean the bearing cap seal bore and remove any burrs;coat the cap bore and the seal outside diameter with anadhesive sealant such as General Electric RTV-102 orPermatex No. 2.

6. The shaft in the seal areas should be examined forscore marks, scratching or grooving. First try polishingout the imperfections with a fine grade of emery cloth(No. 240). The polishing motion should not be axial orspiral in direction but circumferential. If the shaft surface can not be reconditioned sufficiently bypolishing to remove all imperfections, it may bepossible to shift the seal position sufficiently to escapethis area. The inner lip with the spring in back of it is theimportant one to consider. The alternative is to metalizethe shaft and re-grind to a surface finish of 10 to 20RMS. If the surface imperfections are not too deep, asimple plunge grind to no more than 0.010” (0.254 mm)undersize on the diameter may clean up the shaft. Infact, plunge grinding is preferable to polishing to removeany chance of spiral marks on the shaft which can causeoil leakage. A third option is to use a wear sleeve.Consult the manufacturer for installation instructions.

7. Wrap 0.005” (.127 mm) plastic shim stock around theshaft to cover up the keyway and any shoulders. Wipeoil or grease on the seal lip to ease assembly. Slip theseal on the shaft up to the bearing cap with the lip andspring facing in toward the reducer. Using the end of apiece of wood about 1 by 2” (25 by 50 mm), drive theseal in tapping first on one side then the other. Seefigure 16. The seal should be flush with the bearing capouter face and square with the shaft. Remove the shimstock. If steel or brass shim stock is used, make sureall burrs on the edge are removed to avoid cutting the

seal. For maximum protection, lay a strip of scotch tapealong the exposed edge.

8. For those units having the optional grease purged sealingsystem, remount the shroud and add a high qualityLithium base grease of NLGI number 2 consistency.

DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY

2. Removing the hex cap screws will permit the removalof the housing cover. Housing cover must be removedstraight up to prevent damage to dowel pins. Seefigure 17.

3. After all cap screws are removed, two can be insertedin the tapped holes in the housing cover flange andused as jack screws to aid in cover removal.See figure 18.

Figure 18

4. Bearings and gears are now fully accessible, ready forremoval. See figure 19.

5. Remove exposed high speed bearings. All otherbearings and/or gears are now easily removable as aunit (bearings, gear, and shaft). When removing abearing cone from a shaft, a small press may be used,supporting the shaft assembly on the cone shoulder.Keep the bearings clean.

Figure 19

6. Tapered roller bearing cups can be removed from thehousing and cover bores using pry bars. See figure 21.

7. Figure 22 shows a typical disassembled unit with allcomponents.

8. The oil seals are a press fit in the bores. They can bedrawn out readily. Use a piece of wood preferably, to avoiddamaging the seal bore surfaces in the bearing cap.

Figure 21

CLEANING

All parts, including the housing, should be washedthoroughly with kerosene or a mineral solvent. Anyaccumulation of sludge deposits or corrosion should beremoved. Do not use a wire brush on any seal, bearing,or gear tooth surfaces to avoid scratching. All old sealantshould be scrapped from mating flange surfaces of thehousing and bearing caps.

Figure 22

REASSEMBLY

1. Reassembly is basically the reverse of the disassemblyprocedure.

2. Install new oil seals in the high speed and low speedopen end bearings caps as discussed in CHANGINGOIL SEALS.

3. Bearing cones may be heated to ease assembly.This canbe done with an infra-red lamp, a heated oil bath, or anoven. If an oil bath or oven is used, take care to supportthe bearing well off the bottom and away from the sidesof the container to avoid direct contact with an area oflocalized heat from the heating element or the flame.

Do not exceed 250° F (121° C) toprevent drawing back the bearing hardness.

WARNING

12

If heating facilities are not available, it will be neces-sary to use a press. In pushing the cone on the shaftmake sure that no pressure is exerted on the cage orrollers, only on the cone shoulder and that the coneseats flush with the shaft shoulder. Before pressing onthe shaft, check the shaft shoulder for burrs or dirt.Remove them if present, otherwise the bearing willnot seat squarely. Apply anti-seize compound to thebearing seat before pressing. In supporting the shaftto press on a bearing, make certain that the point ofsupport is on the shaft end and not on the cage androllers.

4. The shafts with bearings and gears installed along withthe bearing caps and shim packs should be placed backin the housing in the reverse order of disassembly. Coatbearings with a thin film of oil before assembly into thehousing. A sealant such as General Electric RTV-102 orPermatex No. 2 should be applied to the housing splitand to the bearing cap flanges.

5. All bearing caps should be mounted with their originalshim packs in position. In mounting the open end capswith oil seals, take care not to damage the seals. Wrap0.005” (0.127 mm) plastic shim stock around the shaftover the keyway and/or shaft shoulder to protect theseal lip. Do this gently to prevent dislocating the springback of the lip. The housing bolts should be tightenedbefore the bearing cap bolts. This should be doneevenly to prevent warping the housing. See Figure 23,Table 6 for bolt torque values. Note that the maximumtorque values are shown. Use 90% to 100% of thesevalues.

6. Bearing Adjustment. All reducers have tapered rollerbearings and required a specific axial endplay for eachsize. Rotate the input shaft until the output shaft hasmade at least two full turns.This is to seat the rollers. Usethe following endplays for each shaft bearing set-up.

Single Reduction Input Shaft Bearings

8107 - 8315 .001 / .003”.025 / .076 mm

Double Reduction Input Shaft

8107 - 8315 .001 / .003”.025 / .076 mm

8407 - 8608 .002 / .004”.051 / .102 mm

Single and Double Reduction Output Shaft

8107 - 8608 .002 Preload / .002” Endplay.051 / .102 mm

Check endplay by placing a dial indicator pointer onshaft end and wedge shaft to its extreme oppositepositions. See figure 24. The total dial variation is theshaft endplay. If the endplay does not agree with thespecification above, correct it by adding or removingshims as required. Add shims to increase endplay,remove shims to decrease endplay. Rotate shafts eachtime shims are added.

Figure 24

After changing shims, recheck endplay.

Plastic or metal shims are used in original assembly. Useno substitutes.

7. After completion of assembly, turn the input shaft byhand until the output shaft has made at least onecomplete revolution. There should be no undue drag atthis point. If any gearing has been replaced, check tomake sure that each set has backlash.

Before start-up, fill reducer with oil and follow instructionslisted under OPERATION. New bearings and oil sealsmay tend to run slightly warmer during break-in. If thereducer, for ease of repair, has been removed from itsoperating location recheck alignment of sheaves andtension on bolts. After one month of operation, it isadvisable to recheck all bolts for tightness.

SCREW CONVEYOR DRIVES

The following parts are required to convert the shaftmount drive for screw conveyor service:

Adaptor with mounting hardwareAdaptor/Hollow shaft oil sealAdaptor Shim setDrive ShaftDrive Shaft KeyDrive Shaft RetainerAdaptor Oil SealPacking Gland Assembly - optional

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

1. Remove oil seal from Low speed bearing cover. SeeCHANGING SEALS for instructions.

2. Remove low speed bearing cover on the side oppositethe input shaft extension from unit. Remove and notethe kind and number of shims from this bearing cap foruse later when the adaptor is mounted.

3. Examine the new oil seal to be mounted in the adaptorfor the hollow shaft for cuts or imperfections in the lip.The lip should have a smooth and uninterrupted edgewith no flashes from molding. The outside diameter ofthe seal should be free from scratches and burrs. Testthe seal for grip on the shaft upon which it has to run; itshould not be loose but should offer some drag to axialmovement. If the seal is not satisfactory, discard it andtry another one.

4. Clean the adaptor rear seal bore and remove anyburrs; coat the bore and the seal outside diameter withan adhesive sealant such as General Electric RTV-102or Permatex No. 2.

5. The shaft in the seal areas should be examined forscore marks, scratching or grooving. First try polishingout the imperfections with a fine grade of emery cloth(No. 240). The polishing motion should not be axial orspiral in direction but circumferential. If the shaftsurface can not be reconditioned sufficiently by polishing to remove all imperfections, it may be possible to shift the seal position sufficiently to escapethis area.The inner lip with the spring in back of it is theimportant one to consider. The alternative is to metal-ize the shaft and re-grind to a surface finish of 10 to 20RMS. If the surface imperfections are not too deep, asimple plunge grind to no more than 0.010” (0.254mm) undersize on the diameter may clean up theshaft. In fact, plunge grinding is preferable to polishing to remove any chance of spiral marks on theshaft which can cause oil leakage. A third option is touse a wear sleeve. Consult the manufacturer for installation instructions.

6. Wipe oil or grease on the seal lip to ease assembly.

Mount the seal inside the adaptor with the lip andspring facing in toward the reducer. The seal should beflush with the adaptor outer face closest to thereducer and square with the shaft.

7. Place the existing shim pack from the low speed coveron the adaptor and carefully mount the adaptor on thereducer. Do not damage the seal while sliding it acrossthe hollow shaft.

8. The endplay of the low speed bearings must bechecked at this time. Rotate the input shaft until theoutput shaft has made at least two full turns. This is toseat the rollers. Use the following endplays for theoutput shaft.

Single and Double Reduction Output Shaft

8107 - 8608 .002” Preload / .002” Endplay.051 / .102 mm

Check endplay by placing a dial indicator pointer on thehollow shaft end and wedge shaft to its extreme oppositepositions. See figure 24. The total dial variation is the

shaft endplay. If the endplay does not agree with thespecification above, correct it by adding or removingshims as required. Add shims to increase endplay,remove shims to decrease endplay. Rotate shaftseach time shims are added.

After changing shims, recheck endplay.

Plastic or metal shims are used in original assembly.Use no substitutes.

9. If the unit is equipped with the optional packing gland,install the bolts holding the packing gland in placeand mount the packing gland on the adaptor. Loadthe packing material inside the rear spacer and placeit in the front bore of the adaptor. Mount the frontspacer between the packing gland and the rear spac-er.

10. If the unit is not equipped with packing gland, installthe adaptor oil seal inside the bore of the adaptor.

11. Examine the new oil seal to be mounted in the adaptorfor the drive shaft for cuts or imperfections in the lip.The lip should have a smooth and uninterrupted edgewith no flashes from molding. The outside diameter ofthe seal should be free from scratches and burrs. Testthe seal for grip on the drive shaft; it should not beloose but should offer some drag to axial movement. Ifthe seal is not satisfactory, discard it and try anotherone.

12. Clean the adaptor front seal bore and remove anyburrs; coat the bore and the seal outside diameterwith an adhesive sealant such as General ElectricRTV-102 or Permatex No. 2.

14

13. The drive shaft in the seal areas should be examinedfor score marks, scratching or grooving. First trypolishing out the imperfections with a fine grade ofemery cloth (No. 240). The polishing motion shouldnot be axial or spiral in direction but circumferential. Ifthe shaft surface can not be reconditionedsufficiently by polishing to remove all imperfections, itmay be possible to shift the seal position sufficientlyto escape this area. The inner lip with the spring inback of it is the important one to consider. Thealternative is to metalize the shaft and re-grind to asurface finish of 10 to 20 RMS. If the surfaceimperfections are not too deep, a simple plunge grindto no more than 0.010” (0.254 mm) undersize on thediameter may clean up the shaft. In fact, plunge grind-ing is preferable to polishing to remove any chance ofspiral marks on the shaft which can cause oil leak-age. A third option is to use a wear sleeve. Consultthe manufacturer for installation instructions.

14. Wipe oil or grease on the seal lip to ease assembly.Mount the seal inside the adaptor front oil seal borewith the lip and spring facing in toward the reducer.The seal should be flush with the adaptor outer face(trough end mounting surface) and square with thesurface.

15. Insert the drive key into the drive shaft and installdrive shaft through the adaptor into the gear drive.Take care not to damage the adaptor front oil sealand/or packing material. A brass bar may be used totap the end of the drive shaft into the reducer hollowshaft until seated on the taper.

16. Install the shaft retainer. A tapped hole in the end ofthe drive shaft is provided for this purpose.

DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

Disassembly is basically the reverse of the assemblyprocedure. Disassembly, cleaning and reassembly of theremainder of the reducer is identically to the shaft mountinstructions. Refer to the appropriate sections for furtherinformation on bearings, seals, etc.
