This Specification applies to all machinery and equipment for which mechanical requirements have not been covered by the individual mechanical specifications, Reference to Manager in this specification defines M.E.T. as Manager Engineering Technology. 2 CODES AND STANDARDS The Mine Health and Safety Act 29 of 1996 and Regulations shall apply to the design, manufacture, and selection of materials. Where South African Bureau of Standards Codes and Standards exist, they shall be preferred, otherwise the British Standards or the British Standard Code of Practice noted herein will apply. In the event of conflict between this document and an equipment specification, the equipment specification shall govern. 3 MATERIALS Materials shall be as shown and as specified in General Specification. 4 DESIGN SERVICE FACTORS The following Service Factors shall apply: a) Speed reducers, Service factor shall be 1,25 based on motor KW or 1,35 based on calculated kW, whichever is the greater. b) Couplings, shafting, V-Belt and chain drives. Service factor shall be 1,5 based on the motor kW. ¢) Machine cut gears. Service factors shall be as stated by the applicable British Standard. 5 TRANSMISSION Chain drives shall be in accordance with British Standard 228, Transmission Roller Chains, Chain Wheels and Cutters. All chain drives shall be adequately guarded and lubricated, V-belt drives shall be Fenner Spacesaver Wedge-Belt Drives fitted with Fenner Taper Lock bushings. Alpha or Beta section Wedge-Belts shall be furnished in matched sets. Driving motors shall be mounted so that adjustment of belt tension may be done by means of jackscrews.

COPYRIGHT If the application is amenable, pivoted bases may be employed (if the motor mass is sufficient to maintain belt tension). All V-belt drives shall be adequately guarded. Gearing shall be in accordance with the following standards: * BS 436: Mac © BS 545: Bevel gears (machine cut) © BS 721: Worm gearing 1e cut gears (helical and straight spur) Speed reduction units shall have allowances for efficiency, cooling and lubrication, conforming to the manufacturer's recommendation or AGMA standards. Unless otherwise noted, speed reduction units shall be supplied by the Vendor complete with half couplings fitted to the reducer shafts. Mating half couplings will be supplied loose, bored, and with keys and keyways cut to specification. Bearings shall be in accordance © BS 292: Dimensions of ball bearings and parallel-roller bearings . BS 1131: Plain metal bee is Parts 1 to 5 . BS 1642: Ball and roller bearing plummer blocks (general purpose series) ° BS 3134: Dimensions of tapered roller bearings the following standards and requirements: a) Anti-friction bearings not covered by standard specifications shall be equivalent to SKF manufacture. b) Bearings seals 75mm and larger for plummer blocks shall be triple labyrinth type, or an equivalent as approved. Grease fittings, when specified shall be Alemite, hydraulic type, or as approved. c) Plummer blocks shall be mounted on accurately machined sole plates and provided with lugs and jackscrews for proper alignment. Vertical alignment shall be by shimming. Standard keyseated shafting shall have a safe shear stress of 41000 kPa. For other materials, one-tenth of the nominal ultimate tensile stress shall be used in design. Suitable fillet radii shall be provided at changes in diameter and shaft ends shall be chamfered, Vendor will recommend the proper alignment tolerances which shall be used. Tolerances will be checked in the Vendor's works prior to shipment, However, final alignment and dowelling (if required) are the responsibilities of the Contractor. All couplings shall be fitted with removable guards. Brakes shall be adequately sized for load characteristics and heat dissipation. For general use on motor couplings, Perigrip type may be used. For hoisting or where the brake is holding back a continuous applied load, thruster releasing shoe brakes shall be used with mass actuated operation, failing to safety. Band type brakes shall not be used unless approved. ‘AA SPEC_990022,006 ‘APPROVED, ‘6 November 2008 Page 30f9 For information or comments on this document please contact ATD QA ‘Anglo Technical Division accepts no lability for any damage whatsoever that may result from the use of this material or the information contained therein, respective of the cause and quantum thereot.
