Danger!
It must be checked and ensured that the gear unit type, all technical data and the ATEX labelling conform to the planning of the plant or the machine.
Please note that for geared motors (gear units with attached electric motors) the electric motor has its own name plate and separate ATEX designation. The motor labelling must also comply with data for the planning of the plant or the machine. The lowest explosion protection of the gear unit and the motor labelling applies for the geared motor unit. If the electric motor is driven with a frequency inverter, the motor requires ATEX approval for inverter operation.
3.5 Checking the configuration Danger!
The gear unit may only be operated in the stated configuration. The permissible configuration is stated on the name plate (IM…). If an X is present in the field IM, the special documentation, whose number is in field S, must be observed. Section 6.1, or the special documentation, shows the configuration of the individual types of gear units. It must be checked and ensured that the configuration as stated on the name plate complies with the installation orientation and that the installation orientation does not change during operation.

3.6 Transporting the gear unit
Danger!
To prevent injury, the danger area must be generously cordoned off. Standing under the gear unit during transport is extremely dangerous.
Attention!
Avoid damage to the gear unit. Impacts to the free ends of the shafts may cause internal damage to the gear unit.
Use adequately dimensioned and suitable means of transportation. Lifting tackle must be designed for the weight of the gear unit. The weight of the gear unit can be obtained from the dispatch documents.
The gear unit should remain on the transport packaging during transportation. It must be transported without oil. Only the four ring bolts (1) (See Figure 3-2) provided may be used for transporting the gear unit. For additional drive units and components, an additional lifting point may be necessary. The ends of the shafts must not be used for transportation, as this may seriously damage the gear unit. The ring bolts screwed into the gear unit must be used for transportation. 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.

3.7 Preparing for installation
The drive unit must be inspected and may only be installed if no transportation damage or leaks are visible. In particular the radial seals and the sealing caps must be inspected for damage.
All bare metal surfaces and shafts of the gear unit are protected against corrosion with oil, grease or corrosion protection agents before shipping.
Thoroughly remove all oil, grease or corrosion protection agents and any dirt from the shafts and flange surfaces before assembly.
Danger!
Care must be taken that drive elements attached to the gear unit, such as clutches, pulleys etc. and drive motors are also ATEX-compliant.
Attention!
Gear units and geared motors are filled with oil as standard when delivered from the factory. For filling, the lubricant stated on the name plate must be used. Please refer to section 6.2 for the amount of lubricant.
As an option, the gear unit can be filled with lubricant. In all cases, the oil level must be checked as per Section 4.1 prior to commissioning.
3. Assembly instruction,
In applications where an incorrect rotational direction may result in damage or potential risk, the correct rotational direction of the drive shaft is to be established by test running the drive when uncoupled and guaranteeing such for subsequent operation.
Attention!
Gears with integrated return stops are marked with arrows on the driven/driving sides. The arrows point in the rotation direction of the gear unit. It must be ensured, when connecting the motor and during motor control, that the gear unit can only operate in the rotation direction, e.g. by means of a rotary field test. Switching of the motor into the blocked direction of rotation, i.e. the wrong direction of rotation may cause damage to the gear unit.
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.
The pressure vent must be activated prior to commissioning. To activate, remove the transport securing devices. Double gear units consist of two single units and are equipped with 2 oil chambers and 2 pressure vents.

storage, transport, preparation, installation
3.8 Installing the gear unit Danger!
No explosive atmosphere must be present when installing the gear unit.
The base and/or flange to which the gear unit is fitted should be vibration-free, torsionally strong and flat. The smoothness of the mating surface on the base or flange must be according to tolerance class K of DIN ISO 2768-2. All contamination to the bolting surfaces of gear unit and base and/or flange must be thoroughly removed. The base must be designed according to the weight and torque, taking into account the forces acting on the gear unit. Bases which are insufficiently rigid may lead to radial and axial displacement during operation, which is not measurable when the unit is stopped. Tensioning bars must be cast into the concrete base in their aligned state. The gear unit must be precisely aligned with the drive shaft of the machine in order to prevent additional forces from being imposed on the gear unit due to distortion.
3. Assembly instruction,
Note!
The service life of shafts, bearings and couplings depends on the precision of alignment of the shaft. Therefore, zero deviation should always be aimed for in alignment. For this, e.g. the requirements for the coupling should be obtained from the special operating instructions.
The tolerances of the shaft ends and the flange connections should be obtained from the dimension sheet. Welding of the gear unit is prohibited. The gear unit must not be used as the earth connection for welding work, as this may cause damage to the bearings and gear wheels.
The gear housing must always be earthed. With geared motors, earthing via the motor connection must be ensured.
The gear unit must be installed in the correct orientation (See Section 6.1). All gear unit feet on each side or all flange screws must be used. Bolts must have a minimum quality of 8.8. The bolts must be tightened to the correct torques (refer to Section 6.4 for torque values). Tension-free bolting must be ensured, particularly for gear units with a foot and flange.
Oil checking and drain screws must be accessible.
To ensure that the gearbox does not get too warm and to avoid injury to persons, observe the following during installation:
Danger!
The surfaces of gear units or geared motors may become hot during or shortly after operation. Attention: danger of burns! Protection against accidental contact may need to be installed.

gear unit during operation.
Do not pile up dust in the area of the gear unit
3.9 Fitting hubs on the gear shafts Attention!
Drive and driven elements, e.g. coupling and chain-wheel hubs must be mounted onto the drive and driven shaft of the gear unit using suitable pullers that will not apply damaging axial forces onto the gear unit. In particular, do not hit the hubs with a hammer.
Note
Use the end thread of the shafts for pulling. Fitting can be aided by coating the hub with lubricant or heating it up to approx. 100
o
C beforehand.
Figure 3-6: Example of a simple pulling device
Danger!
Drive and driven elements, such as belt drives, chain drives and couplings must be fitted with contact protection.

Page 17
3. Assembly instruction,
Danger!
Care must be taken that drive and driven elements attached to the gear unit must also be ATEX-compliant.
Drive and driven elements may apply to the gear unit only the maximum permitted radial and lateral forces FR1 and FR2 and axial forces FA1 and FA2 indicated on the name plate
(see Section 3.4). Observe the correct tension, particularly on belts and chains. Additional loads due to unbalanced hubs are not permitted.
Danger!
The radial force must be applied to the gear unit as closely as possible. For drive shafts with free shaft ends the maximum permissible transverse force FR1 applies for the
application of the transverse force to the centre of the free shaft journal. For driven shafts, the application of the transverse force FR2 must not exceed the dimension xR2.
If the transverse force F dimension xR2 is stated, the application of the force is assumed to be to the centre of the shaft journal.

3.10 Fitting push-on gear units Attention!
The bearings, gear wheels, shafts and housing may be damaged by incorrect fitting. The push-on gear unit must be fitted onto the shaft using a suitable puller, which will
not exert damaging axial forces on the gear unit. In particular, do not hit the gear unit with a hammer.
Assembly and subsequent dismantling is facilitated by applying an anti-corrosive lubricant to the shaft and the hub before fitting (e.g. Nord Anti-Corrosion Art.-No. 089 00099). Excess grease or anti-corrosion agent may escape after assembly and may drip off. Clean these points on the output shaft after a running-in time of approx. 24 hours. This escape of grease is not due to a leak in the gear unit.

storage, transport, preparation, installation
3.11 Torque support
The length of the torque support can be adjusted within a certain range. The torque support consists of a fork head with a bolt (1), a threaded bolt (2), a maintenance-free joint head (3) and a fork plate with a bolt (4).
Assembly should be carried out from the side of the machine, in order to reduce the bending moment on the machine shaft. Tension and pressure and installation upwards or downwards are not permissible.
Distortion of the torque support during assembly or operation must be avoided, as otherwise the service life of the output shaft bearings may be reduced. Torque supports are not suitable for the transmission of radial forces, therefore they may only be used in combination with motor adapters or couplings which cannot transmit radial forces.
For helical gear units with motor adapters, the torque support is located opposite to the motor adapter.
The gear unit is aligned horizontally by means of the threaded bolt and the nuts of the torque support and secured with lock-nuts.
3. Assembly instruction,
Tighten the bolts on the torque support to the correct torque (see Section 6.4 for torque values) and secure to prevent loosening. (e.g. Loctite 242, Loxeal 54-03)

3.12 Fitting shrink discs
Figure 3-13: Mounting the solid shaft with a shrink disc
3. Assembly instruction,
GREASE FREE!
Attention!
Do not tighten the tensioning screws if the shaft is not inserted!
Assembly sequence:
1. Remove any transport securing devices.
2. Loosen but do not remove tightening bolt and tighten gently by hand until there is no play between the outer ring and the inner ring.
3. Push the shrink disc up to the collar on the hollow shaft (see Fig. 3-13). The shrink disc is easier to slide on if the bore of the inner ring is lightly greased.
4. Prior to mounting, grease the solid shaft only in the area which will later come into contact with the bronze bush in the hollow shaft of the gear unit. Do not grease the bronze bush, in order to prevent grease penetrating the area around the shrink connection.
5. The hollow shaft of the gear unit must be completely de-greased and completely free of grease.
6. In the area of the shrink connection the solid shaft of the machine must be degreased and completely free of grease.
7. Insert the solid shaft of the machine into the hollow shaft so as to completely fill the area around the shrink connection.
8. Tighten the bolts successively in a clockwise direction by several turns – not crosswise – with approx. ¼ rotation per turn.
9. After tightening the tensioning bolts the face of the inner ring on the screw side must be flush with the face of the outer ring. The distortion of the shrink disc must be checked visually.
10. The hollow shaft of the gear unit and the solid shaft of the machine should be marked with a line (felt-tip pen) in order to detect any slippage under load.

Danger!
Risk of injury from incorrect mounting and dismantling procedures.
Dismantling sequence:
1. Loosen the bolts successively in a clockwise direction by several turns with approx. ¼ rotation per turn. Do not remove the bolts from their thread.
2. If the external ring does not detach from the inner ring after approx. one turn of all screws, the external ring can be released with the aid of the push-off thread. For this, the required number of tensioning bolts are uniformly screwed into the push-off thread until the external ring separates from the internal ring.
3. Remove the gear unit from the solid shaft of the machine.
If a shrink plate is used for a long period or if it is contaminated, it must be dismantled, cleaned and the conical surface (cone) treated with Molykote G-Rapid Plus or similar lubricant prior to re­assembly. The treads and head surfaces of the screws must be treated with grease without Molykote. Any damaged or corroded elements must be replaced.
3. Assembly instruction,
3.13 Fitting the covers Danger!
Shrink discs and exposed rotating shaft ends require contact guards in order to prevent injuries. A cover (Option H) 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 by means of special attached components.
Danger!
Covers must be inspected for transportation damage e.g. dents and warping before they are fitted. Damaged covers must not be used, as they may cause rubbing.

4. Commissioning
4.1 Check the oil level Danger!
The oil level must be checked prior to commissioning.
The installation must comply with the configuration on the name plate. Section 6.1 describes the versions and the corresponding oil level screws. With double gear units, the oil level must be checked on both units. The pressure vent must be at the position marked in Section 6.1.
Gear unit types that are not supplied full of oil must be filled before the oil level is checked. (See Section 5.2)
Checking the oil level:
1. The oil level may only be checked when the gear unit is at a standstill and has cooled down. The gear unit must be secured to prevent accidental switch-on.
2. Gear units with oil level screw:
The oil level screw corresponding to the version must be screwed out. (See Section 6.1)
4. Commissioning
The oil level in the gear unit should be checked with the supplied dipstick (Part No.:283 0050)
as shown in Figure 4-1. To do this, the part of the dipstick which is submerged in the oil must be held vertically.
The maximum oil level is the lower edge of the oil level hole. The minimum oil level is approx. 4 mm below the lower edge of the oil level hole. If the oil level is not correct, it must be adjusted by draining off oil or topping up with the type
of oil stated on the name plate.
If the screw lock coating in the thread of the oil drain screw or oil level screw is damaged, a
new oil level screw must be used or the thread cleaned and coated with securing adhesive, e.g. Loctite 242, Loxeal 54-03 prior to insertion.
Check the sealing ring for damage. Replace with a new sealing ring in case of damage. Fit the oil level screw together with the sealing ring and tighten to the correct torque. (See
Section 6.4 for torque values).
If the pressure vent has been unscrewed, reinsert it together with the sealing ring and tighten
to the correct torque. (See Section 6.4 for torque values).
3. Gear units with oil inspection glass:
The oil level can be seen directly in the window The correct oil level is the middle of the inspection glass If the oil level is not correct, it must be adjusted by draining off oil or topping up with the type
of oil stated on the name plate.
4. All previously removed screws must be screwed back in correctly.

4. Commissioning
4.2 Lubricant cooling using an external cooling system (cooling unit) Danger!
When commissioning the cooling system, the operating instructions of the oil /air cooler or oil / water cooler must be observed.
Danger!
The drive unit may only be commissioned after the cooling system has been connected and commissioned.
For operation in explosion hazard atmospheres, only approved and labelled cooling systems may be used. The ATEX labelling must conform to the details of the system and/or machine design.
Danger!
The temperature of the cooling water and the cooling water flow rate must be supervised and ensured by the operator.
The ATEX approval is void if these instructions are not observed!
Attention!
The filter of the cooling system must be checked regularly (see Section 5.1).
Attention!
With oil / air coolers an adequate air intake must be ensured. The air inlet grille and the fan blades must be kept clean.
Note!
If there is a danger of frost the operator should add a suitable anti-freeze solution to the cooling water.
Temperature regulation can optionally be provided by using a temperature switch or a resistance thermometer, which is installed in the oil sump of the gear unit.
-28- B2050-GB-0613 www.nord.com
Page 29
4. Commissioning
4.3 Operation with pressure circulation lubrication Attention!
If pressure circulation lubrication is used, the operational viscosity of the gear oil on start-up must not exceed 1800 cSt. For ISO-VG220 this corresponds to a maximum temperature of 10 for mineral oil, and a temperature of at least 0 for synthetic oil.
Danger!
The drive unit may only be commissioned after the pump for the pressure circulation lubrication has been connected and commissioned. Observe the operating instructions for the pump.
For operation in explosion hazard atmospheres, only approved and labelled circulation pumps may be used. The ATEX labelling must conform to the details of the system and/or machine design.
During operation, the function of the lubricant circulation must be monitored and ensured. The gear unit must be shut down immediately in case of failure of the lubrication circulation.
All gear units equipped with lubricant circulation are provided with a pressure switch to monitor the pump function. The connection of the pressure switch and the evaluation of the signal must be carried out by the operator. The pressure switch must be connected so that operation is only possible if the oil pump has built up pressure. During commissioning, a lower pressure is permissible for a short time.
4.4 Pressure safeguard
The pressure safeguard is an electric switch, which monitors the lubrication pressure of gear units with circulation lubrication or targeted lubrication. If the pre-set pressure is undershot, the applied electric signal is interrupted by the pressure safeguard. Evaluate the signal accordingly.
Caution!
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 up.

4.5 Operation with back stop
Optional backstops, which allow rotation in only one direction and block the other direction of rotation are available for attachment to the gearbox. The lubrication of the backstop is by means of the gear oil. The backstops lift off due to centrifugal force above a certain lifting speed n1 (see
table 4-1) and are then free of wear.
Danger!
In continuous operation, back stops may only be operated at above the lift-off speed.

4.6 Temperature measurement
The details of the ATEX temperature class or the maximum surface temperature are based on normal installation conditions (see Section 3.7). Even small changes to the installation conditions can have a significant effect on the temperature of the gear unit.
Danger!
On commissioning, a surface temperature measurement of the gear unit must be made under maximum load.
(This does not apply to gear units which are labelled as temperature class T1 – T3 or a maximum surface temperature of 200°C in the last line of the name plate.)
For the measurement, a normal temperature measuring device is required, with a measurement range from 0°C to 130°C and a precision of at least ± 4°C and which enables the measurement of the surface temperature and the temperature of the air. Temperature measurement procedure:
1. Allow the gear unit to run at maximum speed under maximum load for approx. 4 hours.
2. After warming up, the temperature of surface of the gear unit housing Tgm must be measured at several points in the area of the drive unit bearings, close to the temperature
label (see Section 3.16).
3. Measure the temperature of the air Tum in the immediate vicinity of the gear unit.
4. Commissioning
Danger!
The gear unit must be shut down and Getriebebau NORD must be consulted if any of the following criteria do not apply:
The measured air temperature Tum is within the permissible range stated on the name plate.  The maximum measured temperature of the gear unit housing surface Tgm is below 121 C
and the temperature-resistant adhesive label has not turned black. (See Figure 4-3)
The measured temperature of the surface of the gear unit housing plus the difference
between the highest permissible air temperature Tu stated on the name plate and the measured air temperature must be at least 15°C lower than the maximum permissible
surface temperature, i.e.:
ATEX labelling: II 2G c T4 / II 3G T4 : T ATEX labelling: II 2D c T Tgm: measured temperature of the surface of the gear unit housing in °C

4.7 Checking the gear unit
During a test run under full load, the gear unit should be checked for:
Unusual noises, such as grinding, knocking or rubbing noises Unusual vibrations, oscillations or other movements Production of steam or smoke
After the test run, the gear unit should be checked for:
Leaks Slippage of the shrink disks. For this, the cover should be removed and a check carried out
whether the marking described in Section 3.12 shows a relative movement of the hollow shaft of the gear unit and the machine shaft. Then the cover should be fitted as described in Section 3.13.
4. Commissioning
Hinweis!
Shaft sealing rings are rubbing seals and have sealing lips made from an elastomer material. These sealing lips are lubricated with a special grease at the factory. This reduces the wear due to their function and ensures a long service life. An oil film in the region of the rubbing sealing lip is therefore normal and is not due to leakage.
Danger!
The drive must be shut down and Getriebebau Nord consulted if any irregularities are observed during the checks described above.

5. Service and maintenance
Danger!
Installation and maintenance work must only be performed when gear units are at a standstill. The drive must be isolated and secured to prevent accidental start-up.
Check for running noises
Danger!
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.
Visual inspection for leaks:
Danger!
The gear unit must be checked for leaks. Attention should be paid to escaping gear oil and traces of oil on the exterior or underneath the gear unit. In particular, the radial seals, cover caps, screw plugs, hoses and housing joints should be checked.
If leaks are suspected, the gear unit should be cleaned, the oil level checked (see Section 4.1) and the gear unit checked again for leaks after approx. 24 hours. If a leak is confirmed (dripped oil), the gear unit must be repaired immediately. Please contact the NORD service department.
Check the cover and the attachment adapter for dirt (only necessary for Category 2D)
For gear units fitted with a cover (Option H), remove the cover in case of severe soiling. Dust deposits in the covering cap, on the driven shaft and on the shrink disk must be removed. Then the covering cap must be fitted (See Section 3.13).
If the interior of the IEC / NEMA adapter is severely soiled, the motor must be removed and the dust deposits removed from the interior and the coupling. Then fit the motor as described in Section 3.14.
Visual inspection of the rubber buffer
Gear units with an elastic torque support (Option DG) have rubber elements. If these show damage such as tears to the rubber surface, the elements must be replaced. Please contact the NORD service department.
Visual inspection of hose
Gear units with an oil level vessel (Option OT) and external cooling units have rubber hoses. If damage to the external surface of the hoses as far as where they are inserted occurs, e.g. due to abrasions, cuts or tears, they must be replaced. Please contact the NORD service department.

Visual inspection of the temperature sticker
(Only necessary for temperature class T4 or max. surface temperature < 135°C)
5. Service and maintenance
Danger!
The temperature sticker must be checked that it has not turned black (See Figure 4-3). If the temperature sticker has turned black, the gear unit has become too hot. In this case operation of the gear unit must be discontinued immediately.
The cause of overheating must be established. Please contact the NORD service department immediately. The drive unit must not resume operation before the cause of overheating has been remedied and renewed overheating can be ruled out. Before recommissioning, a new temperature sticker must be affixed to the gear unit (See Section 3.16).
Remove dust
(Only necessary for Category 2D)
Danger!
Dust deposits on the gear unit housing must be removed if they are more than 5 mm thick.
Check the oil level
See Section 4.1
Regreasing
Some gear unit designs (agitator designs VLII and VLIII) are equipped with a regreasing device. For agitator versions VLII and VLIII, the vent screw located opposite to the grease nipple must
be unscrewed before regreasing. Grease should be injected until a quantity of 20-25g escapes from the vent hole. After this, the vent plug must be reinserted and tightened.
Remove and dispose of escaping grease. Recommended grease: Petamo GHY 133N (Klüber Lubrication).
Checking the oil filter
The oil filters are equipped with a visual or electro-mechanical contamination indicator. If contamination is indicated, the oil filter must be replaced according to the operating instructions for the particular cooling system or circulation pump.
Cleaning or replacing the vent screw
Unscrew the pressure vent, thoroughly clean the vent screw (e.g. with compressed air) carry out a function test and fit the vent screw in the same place. If necessary, use a new vent screw.
Check the oil / air cooler
The oil / air cooler must be checked for dirt and leaks. All fan inlets and outlets must be cleaned. For further information, please refer to the operating instructions for the cooling unit.

until oil emerges from the oil level hole. (The oil can also be filled through the pressure vent screw or a sealing plug located higher than the oil level).
5. Service and maintenance
Replacing the oil filter
The oil filter must be changed according to the operating instructions from the supplier.
Replacing the shaft sealing ring
Shaft sealing rings are rubbing seals made from an elastomer material and according to their principle are subject to natural wear. The wearing life of shaft sealing rings depends on many factors and cannot be calculated in advance. Once the shaft sealing ring has reached the end of its service life, the oil film in the region of the sealing lip increases and a measurable leakage with dripping oil occurs. The shaft sealing ring must then be replaced. To reduce the risk of leaks due to worn shaft sealing rings we recommend that as a precaution, the shaft sealing rings are replaced after every 25,000 operating hours or every 5 years. The space between the sealing lip and the protective lip must be filled approximately 50% with grease on fitting (recommended grease: PETAMO GHY 133N). Take care that after fitting, the new shaft sealing ring does not run in the old wear track.
Re-lubricating bearings
For bearings which are not oil-lubricated and whose holes are completely above the oil level, replace the roller bearing grease (recommended grease: PETAMO GHY 133N). Please contact the NORD service department.

6.2 Lubricant quantities Note!
After changing the lubricant, and in particular after the initial filling, the oil level may change during the first few hours of operation, as the oil galleries and hollow spaces only fill gradually during operation.
The stated filling quantities are for guidance only. The precise quantities vary depending on the exact gear ratio.
If at the express request of the customer, an oil inspection glass is installed at an additional charge, we recommend that the customer corrects the oil level after an operating period of approx. 2 hours, so that when the gear unit is at a standstill and has cooled down, the oil level is visible in the inspection glass. Only then, is it possible to check the oil level by means of the inspection glass.
Danger!
When filling, always observe the oil level screw as an indicator of the precise quantity of oil. After filling, the oil level must be checked as described in Section 4.1.
