2.4 FOUNDATION
Correct installation of the gear system is essential to achieve good performance. The gear unit must be rigidly connected to the
foundation which must also be rigid and have a flat mounting surface. If the foundation on base plate structure is incorrectly designed
or constructed, shaft misalignment, vibration, bearing damage and even shaft or housing breakage can result.
The best practice is to install the gear box on rigid concrete foundations, however, in some applications the gear boxes are required
to be mounted on machining structure especially in cement and chemical plants.
While the gear unit is installed on structural foundation, care should be taken that gear unit is mounted on a combined base plate
with driving motor and sufficient areas should be there to properly align the input and output couplings. Packing should be placed so
that support is given in the plane of coupling face.
2.5 COUPLING AND SYSTEM ALIGNMENT
In order to minimize wear, vibration and coupling problem, it is must that the accurate alignment between coupling hubs on connected
shafts is essentially achieved.

2.5.1. Ensure correct gap between two coupling halves.
2.5.2. Angularity error should be corrected by using feeler gauge shown in figure
11 and arriving at a constant gap measures every 90 deg. of rotation of the
coupling halves simultaneously.
Difference between clearances measured at opposite positions should be less
than 0.25mm/100 mm outside diameter of coupling.
2.5.3. Eccentricity error can be corrected by using straight edge, as shown in figure
12 when both coupling halves have the same outside diameters.
If not a straight edge, should be used in conjunction with feeler gauge to half the
difference in diameter. Here also checking should be done every 90 deg. while
mounting both coupling halves simultaneously.
2.5.4 SAFETY PRECAUTION.
The client should protect the coupling, rotating shaft extensions etc. with safety
guards.
3. LUBRICATION
Gear units are supplied in completely assembled condition without oil and must be
filled with the correct grade of lubricant to the correct level. Reliability, efficiency and
wear free operation mainly depend on lubricant use. Over-filling of lubricant results
in over heating and leakage.

Special Note : Synthetic Lubricants must not be mixed with any other type of oil. The gear unit must be flushed while changing
to or from this lubricant.
First change of oil should be made after 500 hours of operation.
Subsequent oil change must be made after every 3000 hours of operation. The interval should not exceed 12 months.
Cleanliness of oil is of prime importance and it is imperative to flush the gear unit with flushing oil before refilling. Fluid
is to be drained off completely before filling the fresh oil.
Oil of two different manufacturers should not be mixed in any case even though they may be of equivalent grade.
The unit is ready to be put into operation So it's not needed to make any adjustment in the assembly.

3.1. OIL LEVEL MONITORING
All units are supplied with a filler plug (which also acts as a breather) at the top of the unit. In most cases, there is an oil level indicator
(Knob type) screwed to the gear unit and also oil level indicator (glass tube inserted in the pipe) provided at the side of the gear unit.
1) The oil is to be filled up during stationary position to the center in case of the knob type oil level indicator / on to the mark
given on the glass tube.
2) The oil level should be examined periodically and should not fall below the level.
3) The gear unit is to be stopped before you check the oil level position. If required, the required amount of oil should be filled
again.
4) It is essential to ensure that the breather plug hole is kept clear at all times. This may lead to oil leakage and the inhalation
of foreign matter through the oil seal, which could cause the inability of the gear unit to ventilate freely.
Especially in lower ratios 5:1 to 10:1, the filler cum breather plug is to be mounted opposite to the direction of rotation to
prevent oil leakage from breather.
4. WORM/WORM WHEEL REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
In order to obtain the best performance from a pair of worm gears, it is essential, when mounting them in the gear unit, they should
be adjusted correctly.
Given below are some notes on assembly for all worm gear mounting that will be of particular use to users of ELECON worm gear
units.
4.1. METHOD OF ADJUSTMENT.
The Worm wheel should be mounted approximately to the center with the worm and after coating the worm threads with a Prussian
blue or similar compound, the gear should be turned by hand to produce a tooth marking on the wheel. If the marking is not as
desired, the wheel should be adjusted sideways until a correct marking is obtained as shown in fig. 13.

Figure 15
This sketch represents a typical shaft assembly after the hand of
assembly has been changed, i.e. a gap between flange and case on
one side and a gap between gap spigot and bearing on the other side.
The gap observed between cover and gear case face is to be covered by using required set of aluminum shims and accordingly the
adjustment to be made for correct positioning of the wheel as shown in fig.15, Moreover rotate the wheel in both direction of rotation
and to consider both of the driving faces of the teeth and to get a contact as shown in figure 16.
This figure shows that correct leaving side contact on both faces of a worm wheel, which is desirable
when the gears are required to run in both direction of rotation.
4.2. ALLOWANCES FOR DEFLECTION AND OIL ENTRY GAP
Elecon worm gears are manufactured in such a manner so as to allow for deflection and to give an entry
gap for the lubricants on the entering side on the wheel teeth. This is done by producing the gears with
a "leaving side" contact as shown in figure 13. This contact obviously leaves an entry gap for the oil
and moreover when the wheel deflects under load, the contact tends to become more central which still
leaving some entry gap.
A driving face contact as shown in figure 14 is the worst possible condition under which a pair of worm
gears can be run, since there is no entry gap for the oil and moreover, any deflection will aggravate the
trouble further.
A gear mounted in this manner may cause a temperature rise in the oil as much as 20 percent higher than the correctly mounted
gear as shown in figure 13. The remedy is to make the wheel (by means of adjustment provided in the design) to the left until contact
similar to that in figure 13 is obtained. This is to be done by trial and error and by movement of wheel to the left will cause the contact
to move to the right.

4.3. BEARING ASSEMBLY
All worm gear units where the worm shaft and wheel shaft are supported on taper roller bearings. The covers are provided for location
and fitting purpose. This is shown in Fig. 15 and proper adjustment is to be carried out by using shims.
4.4 OIL SEAL MOUNTING
When a gear unit has been dismantled, it is advisable to replace the old oil seal to a new oil seal and this should be done carefully
to avoid the damage of the sealing lip of seal. If a special fitting accessory is not available it is advisable to use a piece of thin
card or a plastic sheet round the shaft to cover keyways and sharp edges, then apply a grease on the lip and slide the seal over it.
5. SHIPPING SPECIFICATIONS AND OIL CAPACITIES
The approximate oil quantities and weight of the various worm gear unit types and sizes are given in the following tables. However,
these are only indicative and actual oil filling should be up to the center where plug type oil level indicator used and upto maximum
marking level for oil level indicator.

adequate guarding is necessary to eliminate the possibility of physical contact with rotating shafts or
coupling.
Potential Hazards The following points should be noted and brought to attention to the persons involved in the
installation, use and maintenance of equipment.
1. For lifting of gear unit, eye-bolts or lifting points (on larger units) should be used.
2. Check the grade and quantity of lubrication before commissioning. Read and carry out all instructions on lubricant
plate and in the installation and maintenance manual literature.
3. Installation must be performed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and be undertaken by suitably
qualified personnel.
4. Ensure the proper maintenance of gear boxes in operation. USE ONLY ELECON Spares for gear boxes.
5. The oil level should be examined periodically, if required the oil should be filled again.
6. The operating speeds, transmitting powers, generated torques or the external loads must exceed the design values.
7. The driving and the driven equipment must be selected to ensure that the complete installation of the machinery will
perform satisfactorily e.g. avoiding system critical speeds, system torsion vibration etc.
