6. Installation and disassembly

6.1. General information

Only qualified personnel may perform the installation and disassembly of the gearbox. NGC is not responsible for
any damage caused by improper installation and assembly.

Make sure there is sufficient space around the gearbox for mounting, maintenance and repair.

The foundation rigidness and the contact accuracy between the reducer bottom and foundation directly affect the
reducer performance. Observe the related mounting standard and check the accuracy after finishing the installation.

Prior to installing the gearbox, please check and clean all components. Remove rust and greasy dirt from all bolts
and apply grease to the threads for anti-corrosion protection.

The NGC warranty will be valid only if the user strictly observes the foundation mounting drawings and instructions.

Attention!

Direct sunlight may cause gearbox overheat. If necessary, please take protection measures e.g. covers
or roofs.

Prior to mounting and installing, please prepare suitable lifting and transporting equipment with
sufficient load capacity.

Warning!

Do not perform any welding work on the gearbox.

Do not use the gearbox as a grounding point for welding operation. Welding may damage the internal
gears and bearings irrevocably;

Fasten the connectors at all fastening points defined in the design. Refer to the related documentation
for tightening torque.

The gearbox and lubrication unit should be mounted at the positions specified in the order contract to
ensure sufficient lubrication.

6.2. Foundation for gearbox

The foundation should be designed in such a way that no resonance vibrations are created and no vibrations are

Dept. Name Ref # © NGC Group 2017 - All Rights Reserved Version

transmitted from adjacent foundations. The mounting structure must be rigid. It must be designed according to the
gearbox weight and transferred torque from it, while taking into account the forces acting it.

Information!

Refer to the order technical documentation for structure, dimensions, space requirements and layout of
common supply units (e.g. the common pipelines to the independent oil cooling system)

6.3. Examining the foundation for gearbox

The construction of foundation should be in accordance with the foundation mounting drawings and related technical
requirements. Prior to installing gearbox, check and make sure all technical criteria have been satisfied.

 There should be a datum mark of axial center line on the foundation: it is required that the gearbox, slow drive,
transmission shaft, diaphragm coupling, main motor and mill should be at the same axial center line.

 On the foundation, perpendicular to the axial center line, mark the axial distance of the gearbox, slow drive,
main motor, diaphragm coupling according to the schematic drawings of the foundation and the measured
diaphragm length L. Lm of transmission shaft plus diaphragm coupling is measured L + 6 mm.

 The elevation of foundation is in accordance with the requirement, and the elevation of mill should be
introduced to the gearbox foundation and marked permanently.

 Check the position and depth of foundation bolts and pits on the foundation and make sure they meet the
requirements of foundation drawings.

 Mount the mill first before mounting the gearbox. To ensure the whole project quality, please check the mill level
and flange mounting quality (the supporting journals at the both ends of the grinding body should be at same
level, and the deviation in relative elevation is less than 1 mm with feeding port higher than discharge port),
After making the level of the grinding body ready, please check whether the mounting of transmission flanges is
in accordance with the requirements. Test the radial runout and axial runout of flanges by rotating the milling
body and record the data accordingly. The above check is very important for gearbox horizontal alignment
which may even affect the whole installation quality.

contact is not allowed. Do not make the housing rise especially when working on the liner between the two pits.
Tighten the other foundation bolts with same torque.

Notes: When adjusting liner, the liner at symmetrical position should also been adjusted.

(9) As above leveling method: Remove the gearbox cover. Adjust the lower housing level with enclosed 200x200
mm SK frame leveler with 0.02 mm/m scale value. The lower housing level should be as same as the position
(within marked frame), value and direction described in the diagram in the first page of enclosed housing, bearing
bush, and installation testing records documentation provided by NGC. The tolerance is ±0.04 mm/m.

(10) Recheck the concentricity and perpendicularity of the gearbox output shaft and the mill. The tolerance of
concentricity should be within Φ 0.3 mm from left and right and Φ 1 mm from up to down. The tolerance of
perpendicularity should be within 0.7 mm (with reducer at lower end).

(11) Recheck the surface level of the lower housing and the concentricity and perpendicularity of the reducer output
shaft and the mill. Adjust the reducer and standard liner if necessary. With the criteria for surface level of lower
housing and the concentricity and perpendicularity of the reducer output shaft and the mill being satisfied, please
check meshing spot and compare it with the factory record. In addition, measure the bottom clearance of sliding
bearings and the axial clearance of thrust bearings. If these values fail to meet the design requirements, please
check the reasons and adjust the gearbox and the standard liners accordingly.

6.4.3. Final installation of the main gearbox

(1) Welding the liners to the bed plate.

After checking the flank contact, weld the liners to the bed plate with low carbon steel dot welder, shown in Figure

Match the reamed bolt numbers and lift the output shaft from the points between the flange and the coupling. Adjust
and keep the shaft at the same horizontal level during the lifting. Put some soft materials between the sling and the
shaft to avoid abrasion to the shaft.

Attention!

Do not lift the output shaft from the diaphragms at the both ends, otherwise the diaphragms may be
distorted for undertaking the weight of output shaft.

Align the bolt holes on the diaphragm stack of the mill with those on the output shaft flange. It is not easy to do the
alignment because of the numbers and the graduation error of the holes. Rotate the mill or the reducer to find the
best alignment and fix them with four bolts temporally. The four bolts should be distributed symmetrically. Please
enlarge the holes which bolts cannot get into with appropriate reamers.

Align the center lines of transmission nozzle flange and diaphragm stack on the mill end.

 Put a ruler on the transmission nozzle flange and the excircle of diaphragm stack connecting ring. Check if the
nozzle flange and the diaphragm connecting ring at the same line from four symmetric positions (up, down, left
and right). Should there be any gap at one side, please also check the gap at the other three points. If the gap is
not same, please adjust accordingly;

 The method: loosen the four bolts (for temporary fixing) and move the couplings until it is concentric with the
transmission nozzle flange. Shown as Figure 6-21;

 Fasten the four bolts, and the coaxiality of the flange excircle should be less than 0.3 mm.

Then line bore the mill end diaphragm stack and the transmission nozzle flange. The numbers of line bored holes is
determined according to the user requirement. Normally, four holes at symmetric positions are enough. The size and
bolts for line bored holes are determined and prepared by the user himself.

Make a permanent match mark for line bored holes at the right place to facilitate the whole system assembly later

(3) Selecting shims

The designed clearance is 6 mm, and the total thickness of the shims delivered with the output shaft and the
diaphragm stack is 12 mm which is larger than the permissible value. Adjust the thickness on site according to the
measured value.

That means before mounting the output shaft and diaphragm stack, the user needs to work out total required
thickness and select right shims accordingly.

The shim package includes three pieces of 2 mm shims, four pieces of 1.5 mm shims, and the total thickness is 12
mm.

The shape of shims can be a 120 degree sector or a 180 degree sector with a special cut for bolts’ going through
shown as the following Figure. See Figure 6-22.

Figure 6-22 Shim

(4) Defining the total thickness of shims

With the reducer in place as shown in Figure 21, the Lm is fixed. This means the thickness of shims = Lm - L, L is
measured length of output shaft plus diaphragm coupling.

Put the fastening bolts on the mill end and insert the selected shims, then screw in the bolts with the specified torque
(the value shown in "Mounting drawings of shaft and diaphragm coupling"). Apply binder and fix the nuts.

6.6. Mounting main motor

Mount the motor roughly according to the requirements of the main motor base and the base mounting drawings of

The coaxiality between the main motor and the main reducer (if a flexible coupling is used, the mounting accuracy is
0.04 mm for both coaxiality and perpendicularity, ±0.5 for axial distance error), the main motor and the slow drive
should be less than 0.04 mm.

6.7. Mounting input coupling

(1) Remove the corrosion protection from the surfaces of input / output shaft and couplings with appropriate
detergent.

Warning!

Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation when using solvents;

Do not let the oil seal come into contact with the detergent;

6.8.3. Mounting slow drive

For mounting the slow drive, first mark the middle perpendicular on the both ends of the slow drive hollow shaft. The
slow drive should be placed in such a way that this middle perpendicular should coincide with the center line of
foundation and the axial position of slow drive should coincide with its position marked on the center line.

(1) Mounting slow drive behind the main motor

Mount the slow drive coupling on the main motor shaft after mounting the main motor.

After placing the reducer on the liners shown as Figure 6-25, put a ruler on the fishplate and the excircle of the half
coupling. Check if the fishplate and the half coupling at the same line from four symmetric positions (up, down, left
and right). Should there be a gap at one point, please also check the gap at the other three points. If the gap is not
same, please adjust accordingly. Make the concentricity of the main motor and the slow drive under Φ 0.04 mm by
moving the slow drive or adjusting the standard liner and the wedge liner.

No space at both ends or the space at


four points should be same

Ruler (provided by user)

(2) Mounting slow drive between the main motor and the main reducer

First align the concentricity and perpendicularity of the main motor and the main reducer, and make sure the axial
positions of the main reducer and the main motor are in accordance with the foundation drawings provided by NGC.
Then connect the coupling, which goes through the slow drive, with the main reducer and the main motor. Make sure
both the coaxiality and the perpendicularity for the two end faces should be within 0.04 mm and the axial distance
error should be ±0.5 mm shown as Figure 25. Otherwise adjust the main motor. Make sure the main motor shaft
shoulder fits closely with the flange end.

Align the perpendicularity of the half coupling back to the main motor with a 0.001" dial gauge. The value should be
within 0.04 mm

6.8.4. Mounting foundation bolts and liners

(1) Fasten the foundation bolt and make sure the bolt is at the center of the hole so that there is still adjusting space
during the second grouting

(2) For the first grouting on the foundation bolts, please refer to the related part of the main reducer.

(3) Recheck if the concentricity and the perpendicularity between the main motor and the slow drive, the slow drive
and the reducer are within the specified range

(4) Fasten the bolts when the concrete strength is over 80% of designed value. Check the mounting result with the
same method described in the related part of the main reducer. In addition, make sure that all couplings can be
engaged and disengaged freely.

(5) After checking the mounting accuracy, weld the liners to the bed plate with low carbon steel dot welder (as same
as what described in the main reducer part).

After everything is done, execute the second grouting as what described in the related part of the main reducer.

7.1.4. Cleaning Steps

(1) Add the cleaning oil into the lubricant tank

(2) To clean the teeth surface and inner side of the housing, the user can introduce a plastic or rubber pipe from the
above temporary pipe into the visual inspection openings on the main reducer and the slow drive. Spray the oil on
the inner wall and gear surface to remove dust and sand.

(3) When the above job finished, turn the bypass valve which is near the oil pump half open. Now you can start the
oil pump. Observe the oil outgoing pressure at the pump and ingoing pressure at the reducer end. Then close the
bypass valve slowly, the oil will flow to all components via the pipeline. Meanwhile check the pipeline especially the
flanges for leakage.

(4) After cleaning the gearbox for a while, please check the oil pumping function and bearing oiling.

When the job finished, remove the plastic pipe and restore to the original pipeline.

(5) For the first four hours cleaning, stop the oil pump every hour, remove and check the screens of the oil intake /
return flange filter and the duplex filter. Remove all foreign objects from the screens. Then check above items every
two hours. To ensure the gearbox is clean, after the screens of above two components are found having no any
harmful impurities, you may also need to continue this two hours check for two or three times. If there is still no any
impurities, please remove and clean the filter of the oil intake flange and then put it back. Fasten the bolts and
execute oil circulating until there is no any impurity on all screens. Thus the cleaning is done. It takes about 40
hours.

During the whole cleaning process, please check the pipeline especially the flanges for leakage.

The harmful impurities refer to iron scraps, rust and sand / dust.

(6) After the cleaning is finished, remove the filter of intake flange and drain out all the cleaning oil. Wipe off the
residual oil in the oil filter and oil tank with plastic cotton swab.

Open the bypass valve and make the residual oil in the pipeline back to the tank.

For the residual oil in the oil cooling system, open the oil drain valve at the bottom and make the oil back to the tank.

Blow off the residual oil at flanges, elbow pipes with compressed air.

After the above work finished, close the oil drain valve.

(7) The residual oil at pipelines or other place should be less than 5% of the total cleaning oil. Please measure the
adding volume and the discharge volume for calculation.

(8) Drain the cleaning oil as the above procedure and then add the specified oil, ep industrial gear oil of ISO VG 320.
Make sure the performance of the specified oil will not be affected by mixing with the residual oil.

(9) After adding the specified oil, start the pump. Check thoroughly for any leakage at any pipe or flange. Via the
visual inspection opening, check the lubrication for each lubrication point. Check the whole control system especially
the interlock control systems between the slow drive and the main motor, the oil pump motor and the main motor,
and other interlock control systems shown in the foundation drawings.

bearings for oil pressure and correct it accordingly if there is any pressure abnormal. Heat up the oil to 38℃ (make
the lubricant station self-lubricated during the heating up)

(3) Make the slow drive engaged with the main reducer. Apply oil or grease to all lubrication points, lithium grease ZL
- 4 for the crowned tooth coupling, albany grease for the sliding bearing on the output shaft of slow drive, and
calcium-sodium base grease for all other parts. Check if the power supply of main motor is cutoff and avoid any risk
caused by the two motors' simultaneous starting (note: The no-loading testing of slow drive should be done before
this procedure).

(4) Start the slow drive and check carefully if all the rotating parts are flexible. No clamping stagnation or knock is
allowed; check the bearings for overheats. After 10 minutes running, if everything is ok, stop the test and switch off
the power supply (never continuously run the slow drive over 20 minutes).

(5) Disconnect the slow drive and lock the positioning screw on the handle.

(6) Check the reliability of all the instruments and interlock control systems in accordance with the requirements in
the lubricant station instructions.

 Notes:

a. Check sediment in the filter every 4 hours. Should there be any metal scraps or other impurities, stop the machine
and check for the reason. Do not restart the machine until the fault is determined and cleared.

b. Should the bearing temperature or oil pressure alarm, please stop the machine immediately and check the
bearing accordingly. Repair or replace the bearing if there is any damage. Never force the machine to start or
remove the safety device before determining the reason.

7.3.3. Quality check

After the loading test, please check following items:

3-1 Check the filter for sediment, and clean it;

7.4. Starting up slow drive

7.4.1. Preparation

Before starting the slow drive, via all the lubricant nipples fill up the output bearing (sliding bearing) with albany
grease and fill the roller bearings in other parts to 2/3 volume with calcium-sodium base grease. Check the oil level
and start the lubricant station for oiling the main reducer.

7.4.2. Run-in testing

Run-in means running 20 minutes with jaw clutch or slip clutch disengaged (i.e. the slow drive does not drive the
reducer). Check if it is at the same rotation direction of the mill. Otherwise adjust the wiring of slow drive accordingly.
Check for the temperature changes on bearings and noises.

7.4.3. No-load test

Make the slow drive engaged with the main reducer, and fix the handle with fastening bolt or locating pin. If the jaws
do not match with each other or the pin does not match with the hole, make them meshed by inching the slow drive.
Make sure all the rotating parts pose no any risk and start the slow drive to drive the reducer and the mill for 20
minutes or 2 - 3 mill circles.

7.4.3.1 Load test

Load running should not exceed 20 minutes for each time. Check slow drive for the vibration, noise, overheats. Stop
the slow drive immediately, if there is anything abnormal.

7.4.3.2 Stopping slow drive

Press the "Stop" button when the slow drive drives the mill to the right position, and then the brake motor brakes or
the brake and switch clasp at same time. Thus the mill stops at the right position.

Before the main motor drives the mill, the slow drive should be disconnected with the main reducer. Loosen the bolts
or locating pin of the handle and then push it in reverse direction to discharge the clutch jaw or the pin from the hole.
Push the handle to the limit and then fasten the bolt or plug in the locating pin.

If the handle is hard to push, it means the gravity center of steel ball and abrasives has deviated from the
perpendicular shown as Figure 7-3. In such case, start the slow drive and stop it when the mill rotates to a certain
position. Repeat the above procedure until the torque caused by unbalanced load is eliminated and the clutch is
easy to be disengaged when the mill is stopped.

Figure 7-3 Eliminating unbalanced load

It should be pointed out: the mill may swing several times under the force of unbalanced load and the user needs to
stop the swing with brake. This is because that the slow drive will become an accelerator when the mill is running.
Under the big ratio, the slow drive and motor will run fast and this may shorten the slow drive service life or even
destroy it.

Please record the above tests with pictures and text for further inspection.

7.5. Stop

Unload the mill before stopping it;

Stop the main motor;

Stop supplying water to the cooling system;

For the frozen time of winter, do not cut off the cooling water system totally or you may need to drain out all the water.
In winter, the stop of main motor oil pump can only be initiated when the lubricant is at liquid state.

About 10 minutes after the mill stops, the oil pump can be stopped;

The oil pump may be kept running if the mill is stopped for a short term so that the mill can be restarted at any time;

If the oil pump is stopped, you need to restart it before starting the mill. Make sure that the oil level of lubricant
station is correct. Otherwise do not start the main motor.

Information!

Lock the drive unit to prevent it from being started up unintentionally. Place a warning sign next to the
