Appendix H: Directions For Inverting Drives DH2 & DB3 .....27
Introduction
Credit for long service and dependable operation of a
gear drive is often given to the engineers who designed it,
or the craftsmen who constructed it, or the sales engineer
who recommended the type and size. Ultimate credit
belongs to the mechanic on the job who worked to make
the foundation rigid and level, who accurately aligned the
shafts and carefully installed the accessories, and who
made sure that the drive received regular lubrication. The
details of this important job are the subject of this manual.
NAMEPLATE — Operate Falk gear drives only at power,
speed and ratio shown on the nameplate. Before changing
any one of these, submit complete nameplate data and
new application conditions to the Factory for correct oil
level, parts, and application approval.
DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY — Disassembly &
assembly instructions and parts guides are available from
the Factory or Rexnord representatives. When requesting
information, please give complete data from the nameplate
on the gear drive: model, M.O. number, date, rpm, and ratio.
WARNING: Consult applicable local and national safety
codes for proper guarding of rotating members. Lock out
power source and remove all external loads from drive
before servicing drive or accessories.
Warranty
Rexnord Industries, LLC (the ”Company”) warrants that
Drive One gear drives (I) conform to Company’s published
specifications, and (II) are free from defects of material for
three years from the date of shipment.
Company does not warrant any non-Company branded
products or components (manufacturer’s warranty applies)
or any defects in, damage to, or failure of products caused
by: (I) dynamic vibrations imposed by the drive system in
which such products are installed unless the nature of such
vibrations has been defined and accepted in writing by
Company as a condition of operation; (II) failure to provide
suitable installation environment; (III) use for purposes other
Type DH
Type DVType DX
Type DB
than those for which designed, or other abuse or misuse;
(IV) unauthorized attachments, modifications or disassembly,
or (V) mishandling during shipping.
Installation Instructions
The following instructions apply to standard Falk Type DH,
DB, DV & DX drives. If a drive is furnished with special
features, refer to the supplementary instructions shipped
with the drive.
WELDING — Do not weld on the gear drive or accessories
without prior approval from the Factory. Welding on the
drive may cause distortion of the housing or damage to the
bearings and gear teeth. Welding without prior approval
could void the warranty.
NOTE: Drives equipped with cooling fans may require
removal of shroud when installing foundation fasteners.
EFFECTS OF SOLAR ENERGY — If the gear drive
operates in the sun at ambient temperatures over 38°C
(100°F), then special measures should be taken to protect
the drive from solar energy. This protection can consist
of a canopy over the drive or reflective paint on the drive.
If neither is possible, a heat exchanger or other cooling
device may be required to prevent the sump temperature
from exceeding the allowable maximum.
MOUNTING POSITION — Standard mounting positions
for types DH & DB are with the input and output shafts
horizontal and for DV & DX with the output shafts vertical
Allowable mounting angles for standard oil levels are:
Bridge Slope
DH & DB 0° Up & 4° Down ± 1.5°
Consult the Factory for other angles.
If a gear drive is ordered for non-standard mounting
positions, refer to the instructions provided with the drive
for oil levels and bearing lubrication. If it is necessary to
mount the gear drive in a different position from which it
was ordered, refer to the Factory for required changes to
provide proper lubrication.
FOUNDATION, GENERAL — To facilitate oil drainage,
elevate the gear drive
foundation above the
surrounding floor level. If
desired, replace the drive oil
drain plug with a valve, but
provide a guard to protect the
valve from accidental opening or breakage.
When an outboard bearing is used, mount drive and
outboard bearing on a continuous foundation or bedplate,
and dowel both in place.

(Page 2 of 27) Type D Series • Sizes M1130 thru M1210
FOUNDATION, STEEL — When mounting gear drive on
structural steel, it is recommended that an engineered
design be utilized for a pedestal,
adapter base or bed to provide
sufficient rigidity, to prevent
induced loads from distorting
the housing and causing gear
misalignment. In the absence
of an engineered design, it is
recommended that a base plate,
with thickness equal to or greater
than the thickness of the drive
feet, be securely bolted to steel supports and extend
under the entire drive as illustrated.
FOUNDATION, CONCRETE — If a concrete foundation is
used, allow the concrete to set firmly before bolting down
the gear drive. For the
best type of mounting,
grout structural steel
mounting pads into
the mounting base, as
illustrated, rather than
grouting the drive directly into the concrete.
Motors and other components mounted on motor plates or
motor brackets may become misaligned during shipment.
ALWAYS check alignment after installation. Refer to page 5
for coupling alignment instructions.
Gear Drive Alignment
FOOT-MOUNTED DRIVES – Align drive with driven
equipment by placing broad, flat shims under all mounting
pads. Jack screw holes are provided by mounting feet to
facilitate alignment. See Table 12, page 10 for fastener
and wrench sizes. Start at the low-speed shaft end and
level across the length and then the width of the drive.
Check with a feeler gauge to make certain that all pads are
supported to prevent distortion of housing when drive is
bolted down. After drive is aligned with driven equipment
and bolted down, align prime mover to drive input shaft.
Refer to page 5 for coupling alignment.

Shaft-Mounted Drives – General
Shaft-mounted drives should never be mounted in a
manner that restricts the natural movement of the drive.
They should be allowed to move freely with the shaft on
which it is mounted. Shaft-mounted drives should always
be used in conjunction with a torque reaction arm. Refer
to Appendixes A, B or C for torque reaction arm mounting
instructions and angular limits. The drive may require
repositioning on the driven shaft after initial installation to
accommodate the location of the foundation anchor and
be within limits specified in Appendix A (fixed torque arm)
or Appendix B (adjustable torque arm).
The tapered bore hollow shaft is designed for use with a TA
Taper® bushing for mounting the drive on a driven shaft
with a straight outside diameter. The taper bushing
assembly is supplied with a thrust plate kit and retention
fastener as standard (usage is optional, shaft cover must
be removed to install thrust plate kit). Refer to data sheet
supplied with the tapered bushing assembly for driven
shaft length, shaft keyway length and driven shaft tapped
hole dimensions if the thrust plate kit with retention
fastener is to be used.
Prior to installing the drive, it is a good idea to check
the driven shaft for proper dimensions. Using Table
1 or 1A, find the driven shaft size for the application.
Verify that dimensions A and B are within the allowable
range. When dimensions are verified, proceed with the
installation. The minimum and maximum driven shaft
engagements, dimension N in Figure 1, are shown in
Table 2. The minimum engagement is necessary for full
bushing engagement, and the maximum (and specified)
engagement is provided for use when the thrust plate kit is
used for added retention capacity and an auxiliary removal
aid (bushing nut normally used for both).

If equipment is received from the Factory mounted on
a bedplate, the components were accurately aligned at
the Factory with the bedplate mounted on a large, flat
assembly plate. Shim under the bedplate foot pads until
the gear drive is level and all feet are in the same plane.
Check high-speed shaft coupling alignment. If the
coupling is misaligned, the bedplate is shimmed
incorrectly. Re-shim bedplate and recheck high-speed
coupling alignment. If necessary, realign motor.

TAPER BUSHING — With the driven shaft keyway at the
12 o’clock position, slide bushing assembly onto the driven
shaft, nut end first, and position the keyway slot over the
shaft keyway. The bushing may have to be opened slightly
to assist in installation. Insert a screwdriver into the slot
in the bushing and very lightly pry open until the bushing
slides onto the shaft. Insert the drive key furnished with
the bushing into the shaft keyway. On drives using the
thrust plate kit, slide the bushing assembly onto the driven
shaft until final position (end of driven shaft open ended
keyway).
Installation of Shaft-Mounted Drives
Sizes M1130 - M1190
1. On drives using the thrust plate kit, remove the hollow
low speed shaft cover. Before lifting the drive into
position, rotate the high-speed shaft until the hollow
shaft keyway will be in position to line-up with the driven
shaft key.
2. Lift the drive into position and slide onto the driven
shaft taking care that the driven shaft key seats into the
hollow shaft keyway. DO NOT hammer or use excessive
force.
3. Thread the bushing nut onto the hollow shaft one to two
turns.
NOTE: The bushing nut threads have been coated with
an anti-seize compound at the Factory. This compound
should not be removed. Before re-installing a previously
used nut, recoat the nut threads only with an anti-seize
compound.
NOTE: In extremely severe or corrosive environments,
additonal anti-seize compound MUST be applied to the
threads of the TA bushing nut.
WARNING: DO NOT apply anti-seize or lubricant
to bushing or shaft surfaces. Use of anti-seize may
prevent secure connection of the drive to the shaft and
cause the drive to move.
See Table 12 for nut setscrew and wrench sizes.
a. PREFERRED METHOD — Use a spanner, chain
or pipe wrench to tighten the bushing nut to the

‡ If a torque wrench is not available, the torque can be approximated by
applying the given weight at the given distance from the nut.
b. OPTIONAL TA BUSHING NUT TIGHTENING —

torque value indicated in Table 3. If the required
torque cannot be measured, an approximation can
be made using Table 3A. The full weight should be
applied to the wrench handle in a horizontal position.
For example, to achieve the required tightening
torque for an M1180 bushing nut a 85 kg person
would have to apply all of his/her weight to a wrench
handle 950 mm from the nut, (a 190 lb. person
would have to apply all his/her weight to a wrench
handle 3 feet from the nut). Apply Loctite® 243 or
equivalent to threads of the setscrew. Tighten the
setscrew to 10 Nm (90 lb-in). For drives subjected to
vibratory conditions, refer to Step c.
When the required tightening torque of the TA
bushing nut can not be measured at the low-speed
shaft, the torque-multiplying characteristic of the
drive can be utilized. Rotating the high-speed
shaft of the drive while holding the TA bushing nut
stationary will allow a large torque to be reached. Fix
the TA bushing nut by securing a spanner, chain or
pipe wrench to the nut. Allow the wrench to contact
a surface that will hold the force when tightening.
WARNING: Make sure the wrench will not slip and
cause damage or injury.
Determine the proper rotation of the high-speed
shaft to achieve tightening of the stationary nut. If
the drive is equipped with a backstop, verify that
the backstop will allow the necessary rotation, or
remove the backstop. Find the torque to apply to the

high-speed shaft by dividing the tightening torque
indicated in Table 3 by the drive’s ratio (Torque ÷
Ratio). Apply the calculated torque to the highspeed shaft or coupling using a spanner, chain or
pipe wrench. Be careful not to damage the usable
length of the high-speed shaft. Remove the fixed
wrench from the TA bushing nut and reassemble the
backstop if necessary.
WARNING: Never use the prime mover to produce
the required torque. This could result in severe
personal injury or damage.
Apply Loctite 243 or equivalent to threads of
setscrew. Tighten the setscrew to 10 Nm (90 lb-in)
on the bushing nut. For drives subjected to vibratory
conditions refer to Step c.
c. DRIVES SUBJECTED TO VIBRATORY
CONDITIONS — Extra precautions should be
taken for drives subjected to vibratory conditions.
With the nut of the TA bushing tightened to the
specified torque, locate the setscrew hole in the
nut of the bushing assembly. Using a 6 mm (15/64
inch) diameter drill, create a dimple in the outside
diameter of the bushing flange by drilling through
the setscrew hole in the nut. Apply Loctite 243 or
equivalent to threads of setscrew and tighten into
bushing nut.
d. DRIVES USING THRUST PLATE KIT — Install
thrust plate and thrust plate retaining ring in hollow
shaft. Coat four to five engaging threads of retention
fastener with Loctite 222 or equivalent (low-strength)
thread locking compound and thread into driven
shaft end until snug tight. Reinstall shaft cover.
Removal of Shaft-Mounted Drives
Sizes M1130 - M1190
WARNING: Lock out power source and remove all external
loads from drive before servicing drive or accessories.
1. Drain the lubricant from the drive.
2. Remove safety guards and belts (if so equipped).
Remove hollow shaft cover if thrust plate kit is used.
3. Remove motor and motor mount (if so equipped).
4. Remove backstop (if so equipped).
WARNING: Drive must be supported during removal
process. Use a sling and take up the slack before
proceeding.
5. Remove the setscrew(s) on the bushing nut, which
is located at the output end of the hollow shaft. On
drives using the thrust plate kit, remove the driven shaft
retention fastener.
6. Use a spanner, pipe or chain wrench to loosen
the bushing nut. Initially the nut will freely rotate
counterclockwise approximately 180° as the nut moves
from the locked position to the removal position. At this
point, anticipate resistance which indicates unseating
of the bushing. Continue to rotate the nut until it is free
from the hollow shaft. If unable to release the drive from
the driven shaft with the bushing nut, the thrust plate
kit using a backing bolt (threaded into the driven shaft
tapped hole) and removal bolt (threaded into the thrust
plate tapped hole) may be used to release the drive
from the driven shaft. Refer to Appendix G for backing
and removal bolt sizes (user supplied). To use, remove

thrust plate retaining ring and thrust plate, install backing
bolt, and reinstall thrust plate with retaining ring. Remove
bushing nut retaining ring. Install removal bolt in thrust
plate and tighten against backing bolt to release drive
from driven shaft (insert screwdriver in thrust plate key
slot to engage hollow shaft keyway to prevent thrust plate
rotation while tightening removal bolt).
7. Prepare drive for lifting by disconnecting the torque arm.
8. Slide the drive from the bushing. The bushing can be
left in place or removed as required. If bushing will not
slide off the shaft, insert a small prybar into the split of
the bushing and pry the split open slightly to loosen the
bushing and remove from the shaft.

2. Remove three thrust plate fasteners, retaining ring and
thrust plate from the hollow shaft.
3. Select the backing bolts from the table above and install
them into the three threaded holes in the end of the
driven shaft. The head of the backing bolts provides a
working surface for the removal bolts.
4. Re-insert the thrust plate and retaining ring into the hollow
shaft and select the removal bolts from the table above.
5. Thread three removal bolts into the thrust plate until they
contact the backing bolt heads.
6. Tighten the removal bolts equally in stages to the torque
indicated in the table above. After torquing the bolts, as
instructed, strike the bolts sharpy with a hammer and retorque the bolts if separation of the drive from the driven
shaft did not occur. Repeat this procedure, re-torquing
the bolts after each blow, until separation occurs.
7. Prepare drive for lifting by disconnecting the torque arm.
8. Slide the drive from the bushing. The bushing can be
left in place or removed as required. If bushing will not
slide off the shaft, insert a small prybar into the split of
the bushing and pry the split open slightly to loosen the
bushing and remove from the shaft.
Shaft Connections
WARNING: Provide suitable guards in accordance with
local and national standards.
COUPLING CONNECTIONS — The performance and
life of any coupling depends largely upon how well the
coupling is installed and serviced. Refer to the coupling
manufacturer’s manual for specific instructions.
CORRECT METHOD
Heat interference-fitted hubs,
pinions, sprockets or pulleys to
a maximum of 135°C (275°F)
and slide onto gear drive shaft.
INCORRECT METHOD
DO NOT drive coupling hub,
pinion, sprocket or pulley onto
the shaft. An endwise blow
– CAUTION –
DO NOT HAMMER
FALK COUPLINGS — (Except fluid type) Detailed
installation manuals are available from the Factory, your
local Rexnord representative or distributor — just provide
size and type designations stamped on the coupling.
For lubricant requirements and a list of typical lubricants
meeting Rexnord specifications, refer to appropriate
coupling service manual.
FALK FLANGED TYPE RIGID COUPLINGS — These are
typically used on drives with vertical output shafts. The
low-speed shaft extension ends of the solid vertical shaft
drives are drilled and tapped to accommodate coupling
keeper plates. Tightening torques for fastener, including
keeper plate fasteners are listed in Table 4, page 6.
FALK FLUID COUPLINGS — Refer to the installation
manual furnished with the Falk fluid coupling for installation
and startup instructions. For Alignment-Free drives, refer to
Appendix D.
GAP AND ANGULAR ALIGNMENT — If possible, after
mounting coupling hubs, position the driving and driven
equipment so that the distance
between shaft ends is equal to the
coupling gap. Align the shafts by
placing a spacer block, equal in
thickness to required gap, between
hub faces, as shown at right, and
also at 90° intervals around the hub.
Check with feelers.

DO NOT over tighten belts or chains. Adjust chains to
manufacturers’ specifications. Adjust belts as follows:
The ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt
will not slip under peak load conditions. Check the belt
tension frequently during the first 24 to 48 hours of run-in
operation. Over tightening belts shortens belt and bearing
life. Keep belts free from foreign material which may cause
slippage. Inspect the V–belt periodically; tighten the belts
if they are slipping.
OUTBOARD BEARING — Mount the outboard bearing and
gear drive on a common foundation so that they will shift
as an assembly if settling should occur. Bring the outboard
bearing to the correct horizontal position with broad flat
shims under the mounting pad. Align accurately so that
the load is equally divided between the two drive bearings
and the outboard bearing. Mount a stop bar against the
pillow block foot on the load side when large horizontal load
components are exerted on the pillow block.
PINION MOUNTING — Mount pinion as close to the
drive as possible to avoid undue bearing load and shaft
deflection. Refer to the Factory for pinion alignment
instructions.
NON FALK COUPLINGS — Refer to manufacturers’
installation and maintenance instructions.
BACKSTOPS — To prevent damage to backstops due to
incorrect motor shaft rotation at start up, couplings are NOT
assembled when gear drives are furnished with backstops.
After completing electrical connections, check motor and
gear drive shaft rotations. If rotations are correct, complete
alignment and assembly of coupling.
Fastener Tightening Torques
Use the tightening torque values specified in Table 4 for
fastening Falk gear drives, motors and accessories to their
mounting surfaces with un-lubricated fasteners. DO NOT use
these values for “torque locking” fasteners or for fastening
components with aluminum feet or soft gaskets or vibration
dampeners on the mounting surface. If the tightening torque
exceeds the capacity of the torque wrench, use a torque
multiplier. Use ISO property class 8.8 for metric fasteners. See
Table 12 for fastener and wrench size.

Water Cooling
WATER COOLED HEAT EXCHANGERS — Install a shutoff or control valve in the water line to the heat exchanger
to regulate the water flow through the exchanger. Also
install a water flow gauge between the control valve and
the exchanger to determine actual flow rate. Discharge
water to an OPEN DRAIN to prevent back pressure.
INTERNAL COOLING TUBES — Refer to Appendix E for
installation, operation, and maintenance of internal cooling
tubes.
Lubrication Systems
SPLASH LUBRICATED DRIVES — Standard horizontal
shaft type DH & DB drives are splash lubricated. The
lubricant is picked up by the revolving elements and
distributed to the bearings and gear meshes.
OIL PUMP LUBRICATED DRIVES — Types DV and DX
are equipped with an external oil pump to provide oil
to the upper bearings and gear meshes. The system is
composed of an electric motor-driven gear pump and
an internal distribution network with relief valve (set at
30 psi). The pump system may be furnished with a 50 or
60Hz, 3-phase electrical motors based on the selection.
Refer to the pump motor nameplate and Table 5 for
electrical requirements. Wire the motor for correct rotation
as indicated by the rotation arrow. Optional accessories
include an oil filter and flow indicator with switch. The flow
indicator has a single pole, double throw switch rated at
15A, 125V/7A, 250V maximum. Connect the flow indicator
switch with the prime mover control circuitry to prevent
drive operation without the lubrication system.
Other types of gear drives may also be equipped with oil
pumps for special lubrication considerations or external
cooling.

Lubrication Recommendations
Carefully follow lubrication instructions on the gear
drive nameplate, warning tags, and installation manuals
furnished with the gear drive.
Lubricants listed in this manual are typical ONLY and
should not be construed as exclusive recommendations.
Industrial type petroleum based rust and oxidation
inhibited (R & O) gear lubricants or industrial type sulfurphosphorus extreme pressure (EP) gear lubricants are the
recommended lubricants for ambient temperatures of -9°C
to +50°C (15°F to 125°F).
For drives operating outside the above temperature range,
refer to “Synthetic Lubricants” paragraphs. Synthetic
lubricants can also be used in normal climates.

VISCOSITY (IMPORTANT) — The proper grade for R &
O and EP lubricants is found in Table 7. For cold climate
conditions refer to Table 9, page 8 and the “Synthetic
Lubricant” paragraphs.
If a gear drive operates in a typical indoor environment
where the ambient temperature is within 21°C to 52°C (70°F
to 125°F), the oil viscosity could be increased one AGMA
grade above that shown for the 10°C to 52°C (50°F to 125°F)
range. That is, an AGMA Number 6 or 7 could be substituted
for a 5 or 6 respectively, under these ambient conditions.

★ Refer to the Factory for viscosity recommendations when ambient temperatures are below –34°C (–30°F) or above 52°C (125°F).
OIL PUMPS — When selecting a lubricant for a gear drive
equipped with an oil pump, cold temperature oil viscosity
is important. Lubricant viscosity at start-up generally
should not exceed 1725 cSt (8,000 SSU). When exceeding
this viscosity, pump cavitation is possible, reducing oil
circulation and possibly damaging the pump. A sump
heater may be required or it may be possible to use a
lower viscosity oil to minimize pump cavitation. Refer to the
Factory.
Petroleum-Based Lubricants
R & O GEAR LUBRICANTS (Table 7) — Industrial type
EP LUBRICANTS (Table 8) — For highly loaded gear
drives or drives loaded in excess of original estimates,
industrial-type petroleum EP lubricants are preferred. The
EP lubricants currently recommended are of the sulfurphosphorus type.
WARNING: EP LUBRICANTS IN FOOD PROCESSING
INDUSTRY — EP lubricants may contain toxic substances
and should not be used in the food processing industry
without the lubricant manufacturers’ approval. Lubricants
which meet USDA “H1” classification are suitable for food
processing applications.
petroleum-based rust and oxidation inhibited (R & O) gear
lubricants are the most common and readily available
general purpose gear lubricants.

CAUTION: LUBRICANTS & INTERNAL BACKSTOPS —
Do not use lubricants with anti-wear additives or lubricant
formulations including PTFE (Teflon), lead derivatives,
graphite or molybdenum disulfide in drives equipped with
backstops. Some lubricants in Table 8 may contain several
of these additives.
Synthetic Lubricants
Synthetic lubricants of the polyalphaolefin type are
recommended for cold climate operation, high temperature
applications, extended temperature range (all season)
operation, and/or extended lubricant change intervals. The
proper viscosity grade of synthetic lubricant is given in
Table 9. Refer to Table 10 for Synthetic lubricants.
WARNING: SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS IN FOOD
PROCESSING INDUSTRY — Synthetic lubricants may
contain toxic substances and should not be used in the food
processing industry without the lubricant manufacturers’
approval. Lubricants which meet USDA “H1” classification
are suitable for food processing applications.
Bearing and Seal Greases
All drives and some backstops have grease-lubricated
seals. Some vertical shaft and specially mounted drives
have grease-lubricated bearings. Drives are shipped with
NLGI #2 grease in the seal housing cavities unless otherwise
specified. Refer to Table 11 for grease recommendations.
GREASE-LUBRICATED BEARINGS — Vertical shaft
drives with drywells have grease-lubricated lower lowspeed bearings. These bearings are lubricated at the
Factory with an NLGI#2 grease. Refer to the preventive
maintenance instructions for greasing instructions.
GREASE-LUBRICATED SEALS — Drive One drives are
furnished with grease purged seals which minimize the
entry of contaminants into the drive. Drives are shipped
with NLGI #2 grease in the seal housing cavities unless
otherwise specified. If grease could contaminate the
product, as in the food and drug industries, it should be
removed. A grease that meets USDA “H1” classification is
suitable for food processing applications.
Oil Levels
TYPES DH & DB — Fill the drive with oil to the level
indicated on the oil dipstick. Approximate oil capacities are
given on the drive nameplate.
The inspection cover is sealed with a non hardening
chemical gasket eliminator. When replacing the inspection
cover, run a bead of Loctite 515 Gasket Eliminator «
(or equivalent) around the perimeter of the inspection
opening, making sure to circle the fastener holes.
★ Product of Henkel Corp., Rocky Hill, CT.
DRIVES WITH OIL PUMPS — Types DV, DX, and
occasionally other types of gear drives will be equipped
with oil pumps for cooling or special lubrication
considerations. If a drive is equipped with an oil pump,
fill the drive to the level marked on the dipstick. Run the
lubrication system for several minutes to fill the system
components. Verify that the pump is circulating oil properly,
then recheck oil level. If necessary, add oil to compensate
for filter and/or cooler.
Before starting the gear drive, rotate the input shaft to
check for obstructions. Then start the drive and allow it
to run without load for several minutes. Shut down and
recheck oil level. If everything is satisfactory, the drive is
ready for operation.
Preventive Maintenance
AFTER FIRST WEEK — Check alignment of total system
and realign where necessary. Also tighten all external
bolts and plugs where necessary. DO NOT readjust the
internal gear or bearing settings in the drive. These were
permanently set at the Factory. See Table 12 for fastener
and wrench sizes.
AFTER FIRST MONTH — Proceed as follows:
1. Operate drive until old sump oil reaches normal
operating temperature. Shut down drive and drain
immediately.
2. Immediately flush drive with an oil of the same type
and viscosity grade as the original charge (warmed to
approximately 38°C (100°F) in cold weather) by rapidly
pouring or pumping a charge equal to 25 - 100% of the
initial fill volume or until clean oil flows through the drain.
3. Close the drain and refill the drive to the correct level
with new oil of the correct type and viscosity.
PERIODICALLY —
1. Check the oil level of the drive when it is stopped and at
ambient temperature. Add oil if needed. If the oil level is
ABOVE the high oil level mark on the dipstick, have the
oil analyzed for water content. Moisture in the oil may
indicate that a seal or the heat exchanger is leaking. If
so, replace the defective part immediately and change
the oil. DO NOT fill above the mark indicated as leakage
or undue heating may result.
2. Check coupling alignment to make certain that
foundation settling has not caused excessive
misalignment.
3. If drive is equipped with a fan, periodically clean
accumulated foreign matter from the fan, guard, and
deflector.
4. If drive is equipped with a torque arm, check for free
movement.

OIL ANALYSIS REPORT — Checking oil condition at
regular intervals is recommended. In the absence of more
specific limits, the guidelines listed below may be used to
indicate when to change oil:
1. Water content is greater than 500 ppm (0.05%).
2. Iron content exceeds 150 ppm.
3. Silicon (dust/dirt) exceeds 25 ppm.
4. Viscosity changes more than 15%.
PETROLEUM LUBRICANTS — For normal operating
conditions, change gear oils every six months or 2500
operating hours, whichever occurs first. Change oil more
frequently when gear drives operate in extremely humid,
chemical or dust laden atmospheres. In these cases, R
& O and EP lubricants should be changed every 3 to 4
months or 1500 to 2000 hours. If the drive is operated in
an area where the temperatures vary with seasons, change
oil viscosity grade to suit temperature. Lubricant suppliers
can test oil periodically and recommend economical
change intervals.
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS — Synthetic lube change
intervals can be extended to 8000 - 10,000 hours
depending upon operating temperatures and lubricant
contamination. Change oil more frequently when gear
drives operate in extremely humid, chemical or dust-laden
atmospheres. In these cases, synthetic lubricants should
be changed every 4 to 6 months or 4000 to 6000 hours.
Laboratory analysis is recommended for optimum lubricant
life and gear drive performance. Change lube with change
in ambient temperature, if required. Refer to Table 9 for
synthetic lubricant viscosity recommendations.
GREASE-LUBRICATED SEALS — Depending on the
frequency and degree of contamination (at least every
six months or when changing oil in the drive), purge
contaminated grease from seals by slowly pumping fresh
grease, WITH A HAND GREASE GUN, through the seal
cavity until fresh grease flows out along the shaft. Wipe
off purged grease. Refer to Table 11 for NLGI #2 greases.
Some of these greases are of the IP type and may contain
toxic substances not allowed in the food processing
industry. A grease that meets the USDA “H1” classification
is suitable for food processing applications.
CAUTION: Rapid greasing with a power grease gun can
force grease inward past the seals causing seal leaks.
GREASE LUBRICATED BEARINGS (TYPES DV AND DX)
— Most vertical low-speed shaft drives have a greaselubricated lower low-speed bearing. Grease bearings
during oil changes or at intervals of every 6 months or
2500 hours of operation whichever is less.
VERTICAL SHAFT DRIVES — Remove the pressure relief
plug before greasing. Pump grease into bearing cage until
fresh grease appears at the plug. Replace the pressure
relief plug when finished. See figure below.
Refer to Table 11 for NLGI #2 greases. Some of these
greases are of the EP type and may contain toxic
substances not allowed in the food processing industry. A
grease that meets the USDA “H1” classification is suitable
for food processing applications.

Adjustable Torque Arm Installation
Introduction
The Drive One adjustable tie rod style torque arm is
available for all shaft-mounted Drive One sizes, parallel
shaft Type DH only. It is used to support the drive when
mounted in a standard horizontal position. Refer to the
Factory for other positions. The torque arm is mounted
directly to the drive with an anchor bracket. The torque
arm requires mounting holes in the driven equipment
support structure to provide for clevis bracket attachment.
The customer is responsible for determining the structural
integrity of their support member.
Mounting
It is natural for the drive system to move during operation.
This movement is due to run out from the driven equipment
shaft and gear drive low-speed shaft. Clearance in the
torque arm assembly will accommodate the motion of the
drive. To allow for the movement, the torque arm should
be centered at its attachment point on the drive system
and also centered in the clevis bracket on the support
member. Over-tightening or failure to center the torque
arm in the mounting will restrict the drive’s motion and will
result in premature failure of the drive or driven equipment.
The torque arm should be perpendicular to the support
structure ± 2° when looking at the end of the drive. See
Figure 1.

1. Position the drive on the driven equipment shaft such
that the torque arm is perpendicular and centered in
the clevis mounted to the supporting structure and at its
attachment point on the drive system. Ideally, the clevis
bracket should be added to the structure after the drive
has been secured to the driven equipment.
NOTE: Do not fasten the torque to the support structure
at this time.
2. Secure the drive to the driven equipment via the TA
bushing or rigid coupling connection.
3. Check that the torque arm remains perpendicular and
centered in the clevis if mounted. If the torque arm is
not perpendicular and centered, reposition the drive on
the driven equipment shaft. If the clevis bracket is not
mounted, position and mount at this time.

Rod End Adjustable Torque Arm Installation
Introduction
The Drive One rod end type adjustable torque arm is
available for all shaft-mounted Drive One sizes, both
parallel shaft Type DH and right angle Type DB. It is
used to support the drive when mounted in a standard
horizontal position; other positions may be available
(consult Factory). The torque arm accessory is suitable
for use on swing bases, bedplates, or mounted directly
to the drive. Three styles of rod end torque arms are
available: (1) Standard style for swingbase or bedplate
mounting, (2) Clevis style for mounting directly to the drive
foot, (3) Turnbuckle style for greater length and adjustment.
The torque arm requires mounting holes in the driven
equipment support structure to provide for attachment.
The customer is responsible for determining the structural
integrity of their support member.
Mounting
It is natural for the drive system to move during operation.
This movement is due to runout from the driven equipment
shaft, gear drive low-speed shaft and the connection of
the two. Rod ends containing plain spherical bearings
form a link to provide a resilient mounting support
that accommodates the motion of the drive. To allow
for maximum movement, the torque arm must be
perpendicular to the supports and rod ends centered
in the mounting anchor bracket. Restricting the drive’s
motion in any way may result in premature failure of the
drive or driven equipment.
Installaton
1. Position the drive on the driven equipment shaft such
that the torque arm link is centered in the anchor
bracket. Ideally, the anchor bracket mounting holes
should be added to the structure after the drive has
been secured to the driven equipment.
NOTE: Do not fasten the torque arm to the support
structure at this time.
2. Secure the drive to the driven equipment via the TA
Bushing, shrink disc or rigid coupling connection.
3. Mount the anchor bracket or clevis to the drive or drive
system if not already done. Locate the position of the
anchor bracket to be mounted to the support structure.
Match drill the mounting holes for M20 Cl. 8.8 or 0.75
inch Grade 5 fasteners or better. Lock washers and flat
washers are also required.
NOTE: Torque arm must be vertical (± 1°) in both
directions after installation.
4. (IF REQUIRED) Assemble rod end components to create
a link. A combination of male/female rod ends, clevis/
male rod end or turnbuckle/male rod ends are required
dependent on torque arm style. All styles require jam
nuts to lock linkage. Refer to Figures 1 thru 3.
NOTE: Rod ends must be assembled such that the
relative position of one rod end head to the other is
parallel. Loosen locknut and adjust if necessary. See
Figure 4.
5. For Standard and Turnbuckle style torque arm, install
pin through one lug of anchor bracket mounted to drive.
Position spacer, then rod end and finally second spacer
on pin. Finish positioning pin within anchor bracket.
Install retaining ring to secure the pin. See Figure 1
or 3. For Clevis style torque arm, install crowned pin
through clevis and drive foot. Secure pin with retaining
ring. See Figure 2.
6. Install pin in anchor bracket mounted to supporting
structure with spacers in a similar manner. The drive
may need to be rotated about the low-speed shaft to
install second pin. If the drive has a backstop, it may
be necessary to disconnect the backstop to rotate the
drive. Refer to the backstop instructions for removal.
7. If the drive system is not horizontal, the rod end linkage
can be adjusted (within the limits indicated in the
catalog or certified print) to level the drive.
8. Verify the torque arm link is centered in the anchor
bracket and is not restricting motion of the drive.
9. Some rod ends may be provided with grease fittings
for lubricating. Grease rod end at every scheduled
maintenance or at least every six months. See Table 11
for approved greases.

Swing Base Installation
Introduction
The Drive One Swing Base is a welded steel structure
designed to support a motor and a right angle Type DB,
shaft-mounted drive. The swing base itself is a length of
square cross-sectional tubing with plates welded to it for
the motor and drive. The motor and drive plates are not
machined, and are supported by gussets for additional
strength. A torque arm attaches to the tube section near
the motor end of the swing base.

Supporting the Swing Base
The torque arm connection lug prevents the swing base
from lying flat on the ground; therefore, a supporting
structure is required for mounting the gear drive and motor
to the swing base. This structure is typically built from
wood and is unique to each swing base. All gussets have
a 19 mm (0.75 inch) diameter hole for securing the swing
base to the supporting structure.
WOODEN SUPPORTING
STRUCTURE
Mounting Gear Drive to Swing Base
It is Rexnord’s standard procedure to mount the drive
to the swing base at the Factory. These instructions are
to be followed when field mounting of the drive to the
swing base is required. Use of broad, flat shims between
the gear drive and mounting plate are recommended to
prevent distortion of the housing when the drive is bolted
down. Jacking screw holes are provided in gear drive
housing to aid in fixing the shims. Begin at the low-speed
shaft end and level across the length and then the width of
the gear drive. Use a feeler gauge to ensure that all pads
are supported. Bolt down the drive to the torque specified
in Table 4, page 6.
Mounting Motor and Coupling Alignment
Shims are provided for motor mounting. Holes must be
drilled into the swing base motor plate for mounting of the
motor. Step blocks are also provided for some small frame
motors. Use a feeler gauge to ensure that all motor pads
are firmly seated. Motor mounting needs to be done in
conjunction with coupling alignment to control angular and
offset misalignment. Refer to the coupling manufacturer’s
manual for specific instructions. Bolt down the motor to the
torque specified in Table 4, page 6.
Coupling Guard
The coupling guard must be trimmed in order to fit the
height and shaft extension requirements. Refer to the
coupling guard installation manual for instructions on
trimming the guard. After the guard has been trimmed,
holes can be drilled in the coupling guard plate on the swing
base. The guard can then be bolted down to the plate.
Lifting the Swing Base Assembly
After the drive, motor, and coupling have been mounted
to the swing base, the completed assembly can be lifted
into position for installation on the driven shaft. The motor
eyebolt and the lifting holes on the drive housing can
be used as cable attachment points. The motor eyebolt
is strongest when the cable pull is vertical. To ensure
that cable pull on the motor eyebolt is vertical, use of a
spreader bar is recommended. See the sketch below. To
ensure safety, chains or a sling should be placed behind
the torque arm connection.

Alignment-Free Assembly and Installation – Welded Design
Introduction
The Alignment-Free drive design consists of a shaftmounted drive, bell housing, motor adapter plate, torque
arm, motor and coupling. When assembled, the bell
housing, motor adapter, and motor locate off registers,
resulting in alignment of the motor and gear drive shafts.
Therefore, no additional alignment is required for the highspeed coupling.
Assembly Instructions
The bell housing is fastened to the drive’s high-speed end
using cap screws through the four mounting holes on that
face (see Table 1 for size and torque). The bell housing will
locate on the bevel head of the drive. Read instructions
provided with high-speed coupling prior to assembly.
Location of the fluid coupling on the high-speed shaft of
the drive is determined by the provided shaft spacer. Install
the fluid coupling on the high-speed shaft of the gear drive
per fluid coupling instructions. If a shaft fan is required,
remove every other of the twelve delay fill chamber
fasteners. Install the fan adapter ring to the fluid coupling
using the long socket head cap screws provided. Place a
mounting post between the delay fill chamber flange and
the adapter ring as shown in Figure 1. After all fasteners
and mounting posts are installed, tighten cap screws to
the torque specified in Table 2. Install the six fan segments
to the outer bolt circle of the adapter ring. See Table 2 for
tightening torque.

shaft. First, measure the distance from the motor mounting
face to the end of the motor shaft (A). Then measure the
distance from the motor adapter plate face to the hub on
the fluid coupling (B). Finally measure the distance from
the hub flange to the hub end (C). The desired gap can
be found in Table 3, based on coupling size.
Calculate the hub protrusion:
Protrusion = (A + Gap) – (B + C)
If the calculated protrusion is a negative value, the hub
overhangs the shaft by that amount (Figure 2).
MOTOR
Figure 2
Once the hub is correctly located on the motor shaft, the
motor can be mounted to the motor adapter plate. The
hubs will be aligned and come together to the proper gap.
To fill the fluid coupling to the proper oil level, align the
mark on the perimeter of the fluid coupling with the mark
in the center of the inspection window on the bell housing
on the side opposite the TA bushing nut or shaft extension.
To locate the correct mark on the fluid coupling, begin by
aligning the fill hole of the fluid coupling with the mark in
the inspection window. For fill angles less than 90°, rotate
the fill plug upward until the marks line up. For fill angles
greater than 90°, rotate the fill plug downward until the
marks line up. When the proper marks are in line, fill the
fluid coupling with recommended fluid until fluid appears
at the lip of the fill hole.

Mount the motor to the motor adapter plate on the bell
housing before installing the coupling. Once the motor is
secured, measure the distance (D) between the end of
the motor shaft and the high-speed shaft of the drive. See
Figure 4. Subtract the distance (D) from the length of the
spacer coupling (BE). Then divide this value in half to find
the overhang of each hub [Overhang + (BE – D)/2]. The
overhang will be negative. This is the amount each hub
overhangs the shaft. Once the overhang is determined,
install the hubs according to the instructions provided
with the coupling. Install the spacer sections and verify
the gap is correct. If not, readjust the hub on the motor
shaft. If the coupling is furnished with an interference
fit, readjustment will not be possible. Take extra care in
making measurements. After the proper gap is set, finish
installing the coupling per the instructions.

Alignment-Free Assembly and Installation – Cast Design
Introduction
The Alignment-Free drive design consists of a shaftmounted gear drive, bell housing, torque arm, motor and
coupling. When assembled, the gear drive, bell housing
and motor locate off registers, resulting in alignment of the
shafts. Therefore, no additional alignment is required for
the high-speed coupling.
Assembly Instructions
The bell housing is fastened to the gear drive’s high-speed
end using capscrews through the four mounting holes on
that face with a nut and lock washer (see Table 1 for size
and torque). Apply Loctite #242 or equivalent to mounting
fastener threads. The bell housing will locate on the bevel
head of the gear drive. Read instructions provided with
high-speed coupling prior to assembly.
to be notched to allow clearance for the bell housing to
drive mounting fasteners. Rotate fan to ensure clearance,
and reposition fan hub if necessary. Split fan guard may
be removed or installed without disrupting high-speed
coupling. See Figure 2.

Fluid Coupling
The fluid coupling can be installed/removed without
removing the motor (see fluid coupling instructions for
procedure). Mount the coupling hubs to the drive highspeed shaft and the motor shaft. Hubs are to be mounted
flush with the end of the shafts (coupling hubs may be
furnished with an interference fit). Mount the motor to the
bell housing, apply Loctite #242 or equivalent fastener
threads and tighten to proper torque. Install fluid coupling
per coupling instructions.
To fill the fluid coupling to the proper oil level, install
the small top cover on the bell housing. Rotate the fluid
coupling such that the fill hole is up and fill with the
approximate quantity of oil (see coupling instructions for oil
type and quantity). Rotate the coupling in either direction
to align the mark on the perimeter of the fluid coupling with
the mark in the center of the cover on the bell housing. A
container should be placed to catch any excess oil that
may spill from the fill hole. If oil drains from the fill hole,
allow all excess to drain to achieve the proper fill level. If
no oil drains when marks are aligned, rotate coupling back
and add more oil. Repeat process until excess oil drains
and proper fill level is achieved.

Internal Cooling Tubes Installation & Maintenance
Cooling Tube Description
The internal cooling tube accessory is a network of finned
cooling tubes. Factory-installed in the base of a drive
housing, for heat removal. The cooling tubes operate
submerged in the oil of the drive sump. The revolving
elements provide the necessary oil flow around the
cooling tubes for efficient heat transfer. No oil pumps are
required. The external requirement for the cooling tube
system is a clean water hookup supplying a flow rate of 2
gallons (8 liters) per minute at a maximum temperature of
90°F (32°C). An inlet water temperature of 70°F (21°C) is
required to obtain the system catalog thermal power rating
with a sump oil temperature of 200°F (93°C).
The number of cooling tubes required varies with drive
size, type and number of reductions. Cooling tubes are
connected in series to maintain the optimum water flow
velocity in the tubes with the specified water flow rate of 2
to 5 gallons (8 to 19 liters) per minute. Note: A typical Falk
PC cooling assembly requires between 2 to 70 gallons (8
to 265 liters) of water per minute, depending upon PC size
and cooling requirements.
All cooling tube system connections are made outside of
the housing to eliminate the possibility of water leakage
into the drive sump. Seal rings are used at all connections
for ease of disassembly and reassembly. The standard
cooling tubes are 90/10 copper nickel alloy with aluminum
fins. Cooling tube connections are cadmium-plated mild
steel with “Buna-N” seal rings.
Water connections are .500”-14 NPT fittings located at
the high-speed end. The water outlet is located on the
high-speed end of the drive. The water inlet connection is
a straight fitting located on the lowest cooling tube in the
drive.
The water outlet connection is a right angle fitting (faced
up) located on the uppermost tube in the drive. The
cooling tube system connections are selected and located
so that the cooling system is always full of water during
operation for maximum heat transfer. The water inlet and
outlet connections may be moved to the opposite end of
the drive by removing the water inlet, outlet and all “loop
end” fitting assemblies and by reinstalling them on the
same tubes at the opposite end of the drive. Refer to the
Maintenance Instructions on page 24 and Figures 7 & 8 on
page 25 for disassembly and reassembly.
Installation & Operation
1. Connect the .500”-14 NPT straight water inlet fitting to
a source of clean, fresh water. Water must be regulated
to a minimum of 2 gallons (8 liters) per minute and must
not exceed 90°F (32°C).
2. Connect the .500”-14 NPT right angle water outlet fitting
(faced up) to an open drain. Do not pressurize the
cooling tube system. The turned up water outlet fitting
ensures that the system is always full of water during
operation.
3. Control water flow rate to between 2 and 5 gallons (8
and 19 liters) per minute to minimize fouling at low flow
rates or tube erosion at high flow rates. The water flow
rate may be reduced to 1 gallon (4 liters) per minute
if clean, fresh (drinking quality) water is used and the
sump oil temperature can be maintained within the
maximum limit of 200°F (93°C).
4. For shutdowns at ambient temperatures less than 32°F
(0°C), drain the cooling tube system by removing the
“loop end” assemblies on the end of the drive opposite
the water inlet. Refer to Figure 8 on page 25 for typical
assemblies and record location of assemblies for
reinstallation purposes.

Maintenance Instructions
The cooling tube system is designed to be removed
from the drive housing without disturbing the drive or
its foundation, provided sufficient room is available at
either end of the housing for tube withdrawal. All tube
connections are outside the drive and are of the seal ring
type for ease of maintenance and reusability.
Light coatings of sludge or scale will cause a reduction in
heat transfer capacity of the system. Therefore, periodic
cleaning of the system may be required to restore the heat
transfer capacity.
The cooling tube system may be cleaned by flushing
with commercially available cleaning compounds
such as Oakite or Dowell. The commercially available
cleaning compounds are corrosive and must be used in
accordance with their manufacturer’s recommendations.
Cleaning may also be accomplished by means of a rod or
wire brush. Remove the tube end seal ring fittings (Figures
7 & 8 on page 25) and pass a .500” (12 mm) diameter rod
or wire brush through the tubes to remove the scale. Tube
I.D. is .527” (13.39 mm). After cleaning all tubes, reinstall
the tube end seal ring fittings.
The outside of the cooling tubes (aluminum fins) may
be cleaned by removing the tubes from the housing and
cleaning with steam or a suitable solvent. To remove the
tubes from the housing, remove all seal ring fittings from
the tubes. Remove the 1.250-11 NPT x .750-14 NPT pipe
bushings from one end of the drive. A special deep well,
thin wall socket (1.812 hex by 7” deep) may be required to
remove and reinstall the pipe bushings.
CAUTION: Take care not to damage cooling tube ends
during disassembly, cleaning and reassembly.
Withdraw the tubes from the housing through the 1.250-11
NPT holes using a .375” (10 mm) diameter rod through the
tube as a disassembly and reassembly aid. After cleaning,
reinstall the tubes in the drive. Coat pipe bushing threads
with thread sealant and reinstall the pipe bushings and
tube fittings in the reverse order of disassembly. Install
the loop end assemblies in the same positions as before
disassembly.
See left for seal ring fitting assembly procedures. Seal ring
fittings use standard No. 114 (.625 I.D. x .812 O.D. x .094
W) Buna-N seal rings if replacements are required.

Accessories
A sump temperature sensing water flow controller and
sump temperature indicator (thermometer) are available
accessories for the internal cooling tube system. It is
recommended that a thermometer be used with a water
flow controller. Additional holes in the housing are required
for these accessories and should be referred to the
Factory at the time of order.
Water Flow Control Valve
A water flow control valve is recommended where the
availability or cost of water is at a premium or where
automatic water shutoff or constant temperature is desired.
The standard water flow control valve is an adjustable,
capillary-type, temperature sensing, flow modulating valve.
The flow control valve should be installed in series with a
ball valve to limit maximum water flow. Refer to Figure 6 for
recommended plumbing diagram. The water flow control
valve will control water flow rates to less than 2 gallons
(8 liters) per minute, however, the cooling tubes will be
subject to increased fouling and may require cleaning at
more frequent intervals.
