11. Lubricants INDUSTRIAL
11.1. Nameplate affixed to the gearbox specifies cil viscosity (VG class) to be used. The
viscosity class is valid for the operating conditions in the contract.
11.2 If operating parameters are altered from those specified during ordering, it is
essential to contact us or it will absolve us from any guarantee/warranty
11.3 Only CLP — quality oils containing active agents to DIN 51 517-3 (draft January
2002) for increasing corrosion protection & resistance to ageing & for reducing wear
in mixed-friction areas are approved. Scuffing resistance in the FZG test to DIN
51354-2 must comply with stage 12 or higher under A/8,3/90 test conditions. In the
FE-8 rolling bearing test to DIN 51 819-3 rolling element & cage wear must be under
30 & 100 mg respectively under test conditions D-7, 5/80-80.
11.4 Oils selected should meet following quality requirements demanded by us:
‘+ High wear protection.
+ Neutral towards micro pitting
‘+ High corrosion protection.
+ High fiterabilty at presence of water.
‘+ Excellent oxidation stability.
+ Excellent deposit control
+ Good anti foaming properties.
11.5. Considering above, we recommend selecting a lubricant trom the table given in
‘Appendix VI, taking account of the viscosity class given on the nameplate. The listing
is only a guide for reference.
11.6 We are acquainted with their composition & in accordance with our present
knowledge can confirm possessing values in respect of laudabilty. Manufacturers
information for oils listed confirms being manufactured & supplied worldwide as per
above mentioned quality stipulations.
11.7 As a precaution against misunderstanding, the recommendation does not
imply release in the sense of warranty for the quality of lubricant procured.
Each manufacturer must be requested to warrant the quality of his product.
11,8 Generally supplies from India only require use of MINERAL based oils with EP
additive,
11.9. ISO-VG viscosity grades normally recommended are 320 or 460 depending on
application as per DIN 51519 at 40° C.
11.10. If recommendation is not followed, you will assume full responsibility for the technical
suitability of the lubricant.
11.11. To minimise risk, we recommend insisting on following pre-requisites.
© Oil must fulil requirements imposed of CLP oil in accordance DIN 51517.
Page 22@
yuucany
+ Failload stage 12+ must be reached in the FZG scuffing test, pout
In the micro pitting test as per FVA project 54, the oil must reach Fail Stage 10+
& must possess GFT class HIGH
‘+ Incase of synthetic oils, the corrosiveness of it to our internal coating should also
be checked.
11.12. Foaming leads to break of oll film hence metal-to-metal contact thus failures. We
recommend a foam test, which major producers is aware & can undertake it to
contirm compliance. Criterion for assessment i
‘© Up-to 5% is good anti foaming behaviour.
© Up-to 10% is satisfactory.
‘© Up-to 15% is acceptable with reservation.
© Over 15% is unacceptable.
+ We do not recommend oils over 15 % volume increase as it has a negative
influence on the load carrying capacity of the gear teeth.
11.13. Other suitable grades may also exist but their details are not available with us. A few
of these formulations meet requirements of products delivered in Europe. Test
results forwarded by Indian Oil appear to comply with requirements though not tested
byus.
11.14 We do not guarantee suitability of any given lubricant.
11.15 Do not interchange & mix oils of various grades/manutacturers. Under no
circumstances Mineral oils should be mixed with Synthetic (Polyglycols) or
vice versa.
11.16 Lubrication selection
11.16.1 Synthetic lubricants (polyglycols - PG as per DIN 51502) distinguished by their high
ageing resistance & favourable efficiency of the gearbox. Suitable for operating
temperatures between —20° to +100°C — briefly up-to + 110°C.
11.162 Mineral oils designated CLP as per DIN 51502, comply with the minimum
requirements as specified in DIN 51517, part 3. They are suitable for operating
temperatures from -10° to +90" C —briefly up-to + 100° C.
Notel! if the operating temperature exceeds or undershoots the limiting values given
under 11.15.1 & 2, the oil selected should be checked for suitability.

Operating Instructions
Hollow shaft gear units
Installation & Dismantling
General Information
These instructions refer to hollow shafts with keys as drive connection.
Hollow shafts with other types of drive connection; follow instructions as issued by
us.
Installation
Preparation
Use suitable solvent to remove rust inhibitor from the hollow shaft
Check hollow & machine shaft for any damage to seat & shoulders. If required,
rework with a suitable tool & clean again.
Protection of fitting surfaces by application of suitable lubricant, which prevents
fretting corrosion, is a must, e.g. use Molycote grease.
Mounting
Using mounting devices as shown in figure 1 or 2 gear units can be mounted
supported via the hollow shaft.
Ensure that the hollow shaft is properly aligned with the machine shaft in order to
prevent any canting or twisting.
For blind hollow shafts (figure 2), a mounting device according to figure 1 cannot be
used & suitable locations for accepting the mounting forces must be found on the
gear unit (liting lugs, lifting pins, hubs, flanges or similar). A temporary wooden ot
steel bridge construction could provide such points.
Extra care for mounting is necessary; do not use a hammer, because the mounting
forces are transmitted through the bearings of the hollow shaft to other gear parts &
bearings.
‘Axial safeguards
Depending on design, the hollow shaft must be axially secured on the machine shaft
(e.g. citclips, end plate, set screws etc.)
Disassembly
Preparation
Remove axial safeguard
In case of fretting/corrosion of the seating surfaces, penetrating oil should be
introduced into the recessed bore with the help of a pump through holes in the
machine shaft - see figure 3. In case these holes are not provided after
unsuccessfully trying to pull the unit off, proceed according to 3.2.

3.2 Dismantling INOUSTRAL
3.2.1 After lapse of sufficient time for the penetrating oil to react, remove the gear unit
extraction devices according to figure 3 or 4, Care should be taken to prevent canting
the unit during pulling off
3.2.2 In case the gear unit cannot be removed as described under 3.2.1, depending on its
assembly & design, the upper part or the complete housing has to be disassembled,
The extraction device is then applied directly to the wheel hub of the gear or with
screws to any tapped holes present — see figure 4
3.2.3 Where the gear wheel on disassembly is not pulled against a shaft collar or other
fixing attachments on the hollow shatt, it can possibly be removed from the hollow
shaft including the beating positioned on the front end, after pressing out gear &
repressing the other bearing. The extraction can then be applied to the shaft
shoulder.
3.2.4 In case the gear housing has been disassembled & in the absence of a centre bore
in the machine shaft, the hollow shaft can be provided with a suitable hole to
facilitate penetrating oil injection into the recessed part of the bore — see 3.1.2. If the
hollow shaft has to be reused, this hole must be closed oil ight afterwards.
3.2.5 Units without a through hollow shaft, jacking devices are applied at suitable points
(hubs, flanges etc.) between gear unit & driven machine, in order to press the gear
Unit off the machine shaft. Great care must be taken during pressing out as the
forces are transmitted via the hollow shaft to the bearings & other gearing parts. Do
not apply impact blow.1.0

APPENDIX - Il
Fitting & Removal of Shrink Disc Connection
Fitting
Shrink discs are supplied ready for fiting & well greased on the inside surfaces. For
transportation reasons, distance pieces have been placed between the outer ring of
the shrink disc, They must be removed before tightening the clamping screws. Shrink
disc which have been taken a part should be re-greased on assembly, i.e. the
conical ting surfaces & the inside threads. For the purpose use grease containing
molybdenum disulphide, e.g. “Molycote” grease. Make sure that all screw shafts are
within the sealing ring, Damage sealing ring must be replaced. When mounting the
shrink disc on the wheel hub extension to be clamped, grease the seat of the disc &
on the hub as well.
The relatively high surface pressure in the clamping zone will prevent any fretting
corrosion.
The hub bore in the clamping area as well as the shaft must be absolutely free from
oll or grease. The safe transmission of torque will depend on it
Never tighten the screws of un-mounted shrink disc to prevent deformation of the
inner ring. The wheel hub extension will be permanently deformed if the screws of
the shrink disc are tightened without the application shatt in its position in the wheel
hub bore.
Prior to fitting the shrink disc on the wheel hub extension, draw the two outer disc
lose together with the help of a spanner & a sensitive touch so that the ring can just
be turned. Check the gap between the discs around the circumference to ensure the
concentricity with each other. Then push the shrink disc assembly on to the hub
extension. Tighten all screw carefully & equally unti the shrink disc assembly cannot
bbe turned on the hub by hand.
With a suitable long handle spanner tighten the screw further one after the other up
to an angle of 30° approximately each time making sure the disc stays parallel to
each other. Finally check the screw with a torque spanner set to the desired value.
Removing the shrink disc
Release the screws equally one by one in several stages so as to avoid tilting the
disc. The taper angle of the disc has been made so acute that the shrink disc set will
open up with certainty. The shaft hub will widen again while the shrink disc remain in
position,
Notel! Do not remove screws completely
before the outer rings have left their
taper seat. First remove any rust, which
may have found on the shaft adjacent to
the hub.
Before using the shrink disc again
dismantled if possible & apply new
grease at the appropriate places. Check
the sealing ring, it may require
replacement, the screws must be able to
run well & easy into their corresponding
taped hole.

APPENDIX iit
Backstop Mounting & Operating Instruction
General informat
Backstops permit only one direction of rotation. They may be mounted either in a
horizontal or vertical position.
Backstops of types RS/BI & FXM incorporate locking members, who are lifted by
centrifugal force; inner race 2 with cage 3 rotates whilst outer ring 1 remains
stationary.
As a rule gear units are furnished with backstops fitted, If supplied separately to be
build on by the user, attention should be paid to permissible eccentricity & angular
deviations.
Mounting
Clean shaft end & centring location on housing or intermediate flange.
Check direction of rotation conforms to the desired rotation,
The backstop is mounted in the assembled condition, The outer ring of type FXM has
a chamfer on both ends, whereas only one chamfer is there on the outer ring of type
RS/BI. This chamfer must be positioned such that it is not pointing towards the
centring spigot. If it is the case, dismount outer race & refit, turned through 180°,
Inner race is mounted on the shaft, by a parallel key to DIN 6885/1: an end plate or
Circip prevents axial movement, Careful & uniform application of heat to the inner
race will facilitate mounting.
‘The outer ring 1 is either screwed directly onto the housing or an oil tight connection
to it is effected via an adaptor flange. Sealing compound must be used carefully to
prevent it coming into contact with the locking elements & thus impairing its correct
function
Operation
Bofore starting, check the backstop can be rotated easily by hand in the direction of
rotation required
To avoid damage, do not run the motor prior to ensuring desired direction of rotation
which may be safe guarded by:
‘+ Removal of the cage.
+ Dismantling of the coupling between the motor & gear unit
* Prior to wiring the motor to the mains, check the rotating field with a phase
sequence indicator.
Fill required oil quantity prior to intial use &/or long storage, via the oil fiter opening
provided, Oil filed should be exactly same as that in the gearbox.
Maintenance
Backstops with idling speeds above lift off speeds are not subject to wear & do not
require lubrication. Some form of corrosion protection will suffice.
For corrosion protection, oil the components before assembly, using acid free age
resisting thin oil.

Oil Change & Cleanin
The oil should be changed along with that of the gearbox without fail.
Dismantling
To dismantle, unscrew outer ring 1 which has withdrawal threads of same size as the
screw threads.
‘After removing the retaining ring 4 the cage 3 can be withdrawn by using the tapped
holes for that screws. Do not insert these screws further than the thickness of the
cage side plates. The cage can be removed by hand, by slowly turning it in the idling
direction — no special tools are required.
Remove inner race by means of an extractor after that axial safeguards have been
removed.
Unlocking
The unit is unlocked by withdrawal of cage 3.
Reversi

To reverse the direction of rotation, the cage 3 is to be turned by 180°. First remove
circlip 4, withdraw cage, turn & refit it into the locking gap,
Remounting will be easier if locking members are tied down against the spring force,
When the locking members are correctly centred between inner race & outer ring,
remove the tie & push the cage home completely.
While inserting the cage of type RS/BI the screw or dog should be positioned
between the circlip ends 4. Apply axial pressure lightly — turn cage in the idling
direction until screw head snaps ,
into position. —
Fit the second circlip 4 for type
RSIBI: it also requires its ends
positioned on either side of the —e
