SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Never apply power to the fan motor for any reason until the fan has been
completely installed in its system, and the system inspected to be sure that no
debris has been left in the fan & ducts, and it is known that the inspection
doors at the inlet and outlet of the air passages are shut. The usual procedure
is to remove the fuses from the disconnect switch and open its safety
isolation switch until the installation is completed and inspected.
2. Start the fan momentarily and disconnect it. Observe rotation of the wheel or
the drive rotation is correct. Do not allow the fan to run backward, except
momentarily.
4. Always open the disconnect switch and lock it in the open position with a
padlock before doing any service or maintenance work on the fan.
5. After service of any kind make certain that all adjustment have been properly
made and tightened ,inspection doors closed, there is no debris in the air
passages and all tools have been removed before unlocking the disconnect
switch to place the fan in operation.
6. Make a periodic inspection of the fan wheel, bearings and coupling to be sure
that corrosion has not set in to weaken them. Where there are signs of
corrosion there is danger of mechanical failure. Corroded parts should be
replaced.

CONDITION ON DELIVERY
A. Transport :
The fans are dispatched in dismantled condition with proper packing.
Handle all fan parts with care. Use lifting lugs and good rigging techniques. Slings and
timbers should never be passed through the casing and impeller in order to assist in
rigging.
Pay particular attention to rotor assembly consisting impeller, hub, shaft, bearing
housings and bearings. Avoid any shocks that could damage the parts and their
coatings or alter the impeller balance. If the impeller is damaged slightly, it will have
to be repaired and balanced again.
C. Storage :
General :-
As soon as received ,the different parts of the fan should be placed in clean and dry
covered premises.
Long term storage
Storage for a period of more than three months must be ensured in the best
possible condition, basically protected from dampness so as to avoid oxidisation of
the different parts of the fan unit.
The mechanical parts with machined surfaces are coated with anti-corrosion varnish.
In the case of prolonged storage, before putting in to service, the equipment will be
inspected periodically and the machined parts will be protected from time to time
using protective coating in case of need.
They will be stored in sufficiently large premises, thus providing space for inspection
and easy maintenance of the equipment stored. Moreover , the storage premises will
protect the equipment from sudden changes in temperature, dust, foreign matter,
etc.
The impeller and bearing assembly should be rotated at a very low speed ( rotation
by hand) for about thirty minutes, once a week.
Storage of bearing
As a general rule, the bearings are given a rust prevention treatment in the works
before being packed. They can be preserved for several years, in their original
packing , on a condition that the relative humidity in the storage premises is not over
60 % A higher degree of relative humidity, up to 75% is however permissible for
short term storage.

drawing.
4. Place the foundation bolts in all foundation pockets as required and hook up with the
common holding rods provided in the foundation.
6. Generally the concrete block foundation provided to support the fan unit should be at a
level lower than the final installation level by about 50mm. This clearance allows
correction of the civil engineering false level. It is therefore necessary to maintain the
center of the fan and the level of installation.
7. Place the steel packers in between the foundation bolts to the required height.
8. Place the base frame on the packers and bolt together at four corners.
10. Adjust the horizontal level of the base frame by adjusting steel packers by using
dumpy level. The dimensions to be maintained as per the GA drawing. Check up the
diagonal dimensions for assuring the squareness of the base frame.

The following procedure will be applicable rotor, loose bearings and bearing housings, if and
when used.
As the bearings are finished to high precision, thorough inspection and checking on the
following points are essential prior to assembly :
a) On opening the packing of bearings, the same shall be thoroughly checked for dirt or
other foreign matter and if found, same shall be carefully washed unless and until it is
necessary.
b) The shaft shall be checked for damage due to transport and handling. Particularly the
surfaces where the bearings are to be mounted should be checked for rusting, scoring
etc. Rust, if found, should be removed by rust remover. Heavy pitting on bearing
surfaces of shaft is not acceptable.
Localized scorings could be removed using oil stone.
If the shaft is found to have a bend, the same should not be used for assembly.
d) Bearing to be mounted shall be taken out of the original protective packing only
immediately before mounting.
e) The mounting and dismounting tools and necessary jigs must be of proper dimension and
simple design so that they do not cause any mechanical damage to the bearings.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 20 of 53
UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003
2) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS :-
A bearing with tapered bore, which is seated direct on a shaft, or which is mounted with
an adapter sleeve, ordinarily requires a somewhat tighter fit than a bearing with
cylindrical bore. This fit is achieved by pressing on the inner ring by means of a nut or
by driving in the sleeve. In both cases, the inner bearing is expanded and this results in
a reduction of radial bearing clearance.
If a double row self aligning ball bearing is mounted on an adapter sleeve, the sleeve
nut might be tightened but not so much as to prevent the outer bearing from turning
easily and it must be possible to swing the outer race easily from one side to the other
side.
Double row spherical roller bearings which are used mostly in heavy load applications are
mounted with greater interference. The radial clearance is adapted to this fit and its
reduction can be measured while mounting by means of a feeler gauge. For checking the
correct fit of the inner ring, both the reduction of radial clearance and the distance of
the inner ring is driven axially on the tapered seating or on the adapter sleeve and is
measured. For solid shafts, the axial displacement is approximately fifteen times as
large as the desired clearance reduction.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
e) Keep the rotor assembly in position but slightly elevated position on supports above
the bearing housing bottom halves.
f) Insert the double - lip seal on to the shaft at impeller end if applicable.
g) Insert the taper sleeve on to the shaft to the location with thread portion outside.
h) Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper
sleeve. (no locating ring for this bearing as this is free bearing).
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 21 of 53
UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003
i) Keep the gap between bearing to bearing housing to accommodate the expansion of
shaft as shown in our drawings.
j) Tighten the lock nut on the taper sleeve. For tightening the nut, do not use steel
chisel or rod but use either brass or copper rod for taking the force of hammer. The
necessary tightness is achieved when the brass or copper rod flares at the load
transfer end. Check for the clearance between roller and outer race as mentioned in
SKF catalogue.
l) Now start assembly of drive side (coupling side) bearing by inserting the double lip
seal on to the shaft if applicable.
n) Arrange the locating ring on one side or either side of bearing , as the case may be.
q) Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper
sleeve.
s) Now keep the lock washer teeth locked to the lock nut groove by bending.
v) Lubricate the bearings with recommended grease from one side of the bearing with
pressure, so that the grease comes at the other side of the bearing through roller
gapes. Check that the bearing is greased uniformly on both sides all around. Fill the
bottom half of the bearing housing with grease.
w) Place the top half bearing housing without applying any grease. Check for free
rotation of the rotor assembly.
SKF can supply heating tools, such as oil baths, induction heaters,
heating cabinets and electric and electric plates with adjustable thermostat and
cover, for all common mounting needs.
Bearings with
shields or seats
should not be
heated.

LUBRICATION
Quantity : Press grease from one side of the bearing till it comes out through the opposite
end. Continue the process and rotate the impeller slowly by hand till the bearing is
completely filled with grease. Put some extra grease (not more than !/3 rd of inside volume
of plummer block) inside the plummer block .
INLET DAMPER
According to the installation conditions and the operating frequency of the inlet damper
following should be lubricated.
VANE BEARINGS : Make sure when topping up that the spent grease is discharged
normally.
LINK ROD PINS : Apply grease after cleaning if required.
Grease
For fans provided with spherical roller bearing, the bearings housing are
fitted with grease nipples and are fitted with the correct amount of grease
when requested.
The lubrication intervals and the amount of grease necessary for relubrication
The chart is based on a temperature of 70°C. For every 15°C increase in
temperature the lubrication interval should be reduced to 50% of the value
obtained from the chart.
(Example : For a fan fitted with spherical roller bearings with the bearing bore
diameter of 120mm and running at 1000RPM the relubrication interval will be
800 operating hours if the bearing's temperature does not exceed 70°C).
Oil
When inspecting the oil level of a bearing, check to ensure that the right type of
oil is in use and that the oil level gauge's air vent is unobstructed.
Take a small sample of the oil and compare it with fresh oil. If the sample look's
cloudy, then it is mixed with water and should be replaced.
Dark or thick oil is a sign of dirt or indicates that the oil has started to carbonize.
Change the oil completely and, if possible, clean the bearing by flushing it with
fresh oil . When changing the oil, be sure that you are using the same type of oil ,
and that you refill to the required level .
A more reliable method for determining the oil condition is to analyze a sample .
If the oil is contaminated it may be worthwhile to change the seals or consider
filtration .
Oil in oil bath circulation systems requires change only once each year, providing
that the operating temperatures does not exceed 50 to 60 º C and the oil does
not become contaminated . Change the oil four times each year for operating
temperatures of 100 º C ; monthly for operating temperature of 100 º C.

The spherical Roller Bearing in SOFN blocks are lubricated with oil: a pick-up ring
in the housing serves to bring about oil circulation . The pick-up ring hangs loosely
on a sleeve on the shaft at one side of the bearing and dips into oil in the lower
half of the housing. As the shaft rotates, the ring follows and transports oil from
the bottom of the housing to a collecting trough formed in the spigot (cylindrical
extension) of the one housing cover on a level with the rollers of the bearing under
the shaft thus permitting oil to enter the bearing. The oil then flows through an
opening in the spigot of the opposite housing cover back into the reservoir at the
bottom of the housing. The collecting trough is so dimensioned that the level of
the oil in the trough guarantees an optimum supply of lubricant to the bearing. The
oil in the rese3036rvoir at the bottom of the housing is cooled, depending on the
ambient temperature, before being re-circulated. This lubrication system permits
SOFN plummer blocks to be used for high-speed bearing applications. The
difference between the maximum and minimum oil levels in the reservoir may be
relatively large when a pick-up ring is employed. The intervals between oil
replenishment or oil change are correspondingly long. The requisite oil quantity for
each housing is given in the tables.
The oil level indicator supplied with the housing should be screwed into
one of the four threaded holes provided in the housing covers. The remaining holes
may be used for oil drainage. The "max." and "min" oil levels given in the tables
should be marked on the indicator.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 43 of 53
UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003
The pick up ring must always be in position and it's freedom of movement should not be
restricted. If the ring is not incorporated . There will be an almost immediate danger of
bearing damage because of dry running .
It is recommended the pick up ring be positioned on the side of the bearing nearest the
shaft end in plummer blocks having bearings with cylindrical bore.
The side cover with four recesses in the spigot should be place in the same side of housing
as the pick up ring .
The vent of oil level indicator must not be plugged as otherwise an air cushion in the sight
glass may lead to false reading . The actual oil level will be too high and oil will leak out of
the plummer block shaft passage.
Before starting up for the first time , the oil quantity quoted in the table should be put
into the housing . The maximum oil level guarantees lubrication of bearing when it starts
running before it can be supplied with the oil picked up by the ring . Thus the oil level
should be restored to maximum before starting up after long stoppage.
Even if the housing is carefully cleaned before use there is risk that some impurities will
be left. It is therefore advisable to change the oil after an initial trial running period of
few hours. Subsequent changes can the be made at convenient intervals but should be
undertaken at least once in a year. The bearing must be at a standstill when the oil is
changed.
If , during the trial run no oil leaves the housing , a monthly check of the oil level should be
adequate.
During operation , the oil level may sink to the minimum level given in the tables . If oil is to
be added during operation , it should be filled to a level some 5 mm beneath the maximum
oil level on the indicator to avoid overfilling , since some oil will be in circulation .
A blind hole with an M24 thread plugged with a plastic stopper , is provided in the housing
cap. If required , a thermometer or the sensor of some other temperature measuring
device , may be inserted .The hole stops just short of bearing outer ring , so that it is
possible to measure the temperature in close proximity of the source of heat. A more rapid
indication of temperature change is obtained , would be possible by measuring the
temperature of oil .

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Never apply power to the fan motor for any reason until the fan has been
completely installed in its system, and the system inspected to be sure that no
debris has been left in the fan & ducts, and it is known that the inspection
doors at the inlet and outlet of the air passages are shut. The usual procedure
is to remove the fuses from the disconnect switch and open its safety
isolation switch until the installation is completed and inspected.
2. Start the fan momentarily and disconnect it. Observe rotation of the wheel or
the drive rotation is correct. Do not allow the fan to run backward, except
momentarily.
4. Always open the disconnect switch and lock it in the open position with a
padlock before doing any service or maintenance work on the fan.
5. After service of any kind make certain that all adjustment have been properly
made and tightened ,inspection doors closed, there is no debris in the air
passages and all tools have been removed before unlocking the disconnect
switch to place the fan in operation.
6. Make a periodic inspection of the fan wheel, bearings and coupling to be sure
that corrosion has not set in to weaken them. Where there are signs of
corrosion there is danger of mechanical failure. Corroded parts should be
replaced.

CONDITION ON DELIVERY
A. Transport :
The fans are dispatched in dismantled condition with proper packing.
Handle all fan parts with care. Use lifting lugs and good rigging techniques. Slings and
timbers should never be passed through the casing and impeller in order to assist in
rigging.
Pay particular attention to rotor assembly consisting impeller, hub, shaft, bearing
housings and bearings. Avoid any shocks that could damage the parts and their
coatings or alter the impeller balance. If the impeller is damaged slightly, it will have
to be repaired and balanced again.
C. Storage :
General :-
As soon as received ,the different parts of the fan should be placed in clean and dry
covered premises.
Long term storage
Storage for a period of more than three months must be ensured in the best
possible condition, basically protected from dampness so as to avoid oxidisation of
the different parts of the fan unit.
The mechanical parts with machined surfaces are coated with anti-corrosion varnish.
In the case of prolonged storage, before putting in to service, the equipment will be
inspected periodically and the machined parts will be protected from time to time
using protective coating in case of need.
They will be stored in sufficiently large premises, thus providing space for inspection
and easy maintenance of the equipment stored. Moreover , the storage premises will
protect the equipment from sudden changes in temperature, dust, foreign matter,
etc.
The impeller and bearing assembly should be rotated at a very low speed ( rotation
by hand) for about thirty minutes, once a week.
Storage of bearing
As a general rule, the bearings are given a rust prevention treatment in the works
before being packed. They can be preserved for several years, in their original
packing , on a condition that the relative humidity in the storage premises is not over
60 % A higher degree of relative humidity, up to 75% is however permissible for
short term storage.

The following procedure will be applicable rotor, loose bearings and bearing housings, if and
when used.
As the bearings are finished to high precision, thorough inspection and checking on the
following points are essential prior to assembly :
a) On opening the packing of bearings, the same shall be thoroughly checked for dirt or
other foreign matter and if found, same shall be carefully washed unless and until it is
necessary.
b) The shaft shall be checked for damage due to transport and handling. Particularly the
surfaces where the bearings are to be mounted should be checked for rusting, scoring
etc. Rust, if found, should be removed by rust remover. Heavy pitting on bearing
surfaces of shaft is not acceptable.
Localized scorings could be removed using oil stone.
If the shaft is found to have a bend, the same should not be used for assembly.
d) Bearing to be mounted shall be taken out of the original protective packing only
immediately before mounting.
e) The mounting and dismounting tools and necessary jigs must be of proper dimension and
simple design so that they do not cause any mechanical damage to the bearings.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 20 of 53
UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003
2) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS :-
A bearing with tapered bore, which is seated direct on a shaft, or which is mounted with
an adapter sleeve, ordinarily requires a somewhat tighter fit than a bearing with
cylindrical bore. This fit is achieved by pressing on the inner ring by means of a nut or
by driving in the sleeve. In both cases, the inner bearing is expanded and this results in
a reduction of radial bearing clearance.
If a double row self aligning ball bearing is mounted on an adapter sleeve, the sleeve
nut might be tightened but not so much as to prevent the outer bearing from turning
easily and it must be possible to swing the outer race easily from one side to the other
side.
Double row spherical roller bearings which are used mostly in heavy load applications are
mounted with greater interference. The radial clearance is adapted to this fit and its
reduction can be measured while mounting by means of a feeler gauge. For checking the
correct fit of the inner ring, both the reduction of radial clearance and the distance of
the inner ring is driven axially on the tapered seating or on the adapter sleeve and is
measured. For solid shafts, the axial displacement is approximately fifteen times as
large as the desired clearance reduction.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
e) Keep the rotor assembly in position but slightly elevated position on supports above
the bearing housing bottom halves.
f) Insert the double - lip seal on to the shaft at impeller end if applicable.
g) Insert the taper sleeve on to the shaft to the location with thread portion outside.
h) Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper
sleeve. (no locating ring for this bearing as this is free bearing).
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 21 of 53
UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003
i) Keep the gap between bearing to bearing housing to accommodate the expansion of
shaft as shown in our drawings.
j) Tighten the lock nut on the taper sleeve. For tightening the nut, do not use steel
chisel or rod but use either brass or copper rod for taking the force of hammer. The
necessary tightness is achieved when the brass or copper rod flares at the load
transfer end. Check for the clearance between roller and outer race as mentioned in
SKF catalogue.
l) Now start assembly of drive side (coupling side) bearing by inserting the double lip
seal on to the shaft if applicable.
n) Arrange the locating ring on one side or either side of bearing , as the case may be.
q) Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper
sleeve.
s) Now keep the lock washer teeth locked to the lock nut groove by bending.
v) Lubricate the bearings with recommended grease from one side of the bearing with
pressure, so that the grease comes at the other side of the bearing through roller
gapes. Check that the bearing is greased uniformly on both sides all around. Fill the
bottom half of the bearing housing with grease.
w) Place the top half bearing housing without applying any grease. Check for free
rotation of the rotor assembly.
SKF can supply heating tools, such as oil baths, induction heaters,
heating cabinets and electric and electric plates with adjustable thermostat and
cover, for all common mounting needs.
Bearings with
shields or seats
should not be
heated.

LUBRICATION
Quantity : Press grease from one side of the bearing till it comes out through the opposite
end. Continue the process and rotate the impeller slowly by hand till the bearing is
completely filled with grease. Put some extra grease (not more than !/3 rd of inside volume
of plummer block) inside the plummer block .
INLET DAMPER
According to the installation conditions and the operating frequency of the inlet damper
following should be lubricated.
VANE BEARINGS : Make sure when topping up that the spent grease is discharged
normally.
LINK ROD PINS : Apply grease after cleaning if required.
Grease
For fans provided with spherical roller bearing, the bearings housing are
fitted with grease nipples and are fitted with the correct amount of grease
when requested.
The lubrication intervals and the amount of grease necessary for relubrication
The chart is based on a temperature of 70°C. For every 15°C increase in
temperature the lubrication interval should be reduced to 50% of the value
obtained from the chart.
(Example : For a fan fitted with spherical roller bearings with the bearing bore
diameter of 120mm and running at 1000RPM the relubrication interval will be
800 operating hours if the bearing's temperature does not exceed 70°C).
Oil
When inspecting the oil level of a bearing, check to ensure that the right type of
oil is in use and that the oil level gauge's air vent is unobstructed.
Take a small sample of the oil and compare it with fresh oil. If the sample look's
cloudy, then it is mixed with water and should be replaced.
Dark or thick oil is a sign of dirt or indicates that the oil has started to carbonize.
Change the oil completely and, if possible, clean the bearing by flushing it with
fresh oil . When changing the oil, be sure that you are using the same type of oil ,
and that you refill to the required level .
A more reliable method for determining the oil condition is to analyze a sample .
If the oil is contaminated it may be worthwhile to change the seals or consider
filtration .
Oil in oil bath circulation systems requires change only once each year, providing
that the operating temperatures does not exceed 50 to 60 º C and the oil does
not become contaminated . Change the oil four times each year for operating
temperatures of 100 º C ; monthly for operating temperature of 100 º C.

The spherical Roller Bearing in SOFN blocks are lubricated with oil: a pick-up ring
in the housing serves to bring about oil circulation . The pick-up ring hangs loosely
on a sleeve on the shaft at one side of the bearing and dips into oil in the lower
half of the housing. As the shaft rotates, the ring follows and transports oil from
the bottom of the housing to a collecting trough formed in the spigot (cylindrical
extension) of the one housing cover on a level with the rollers of the bearing under
the shaft thus permitting oil to enter the bearing. The oil then flows through an
opening in the spigot of the opposite housing cover back into the reservoir at the
bottom of the housing. The collecting trough is so dimensioned that the level of
the oil in the trough guarantees an optimum supply of lubricant to the bearing. The
oil in the rese3036rvoir at the bottom of the housing is cooled, depending on the
ambient temperature, before being re-circulated. This lubrication system permits
SOFN plummer blocks to be used for high-speed bearing applications. The
difference between the maximum and minimum oil levels in the reservoir may be
relatively large when a pick-up ring is employed. The intervals between oil
replenishment or oil change are correspondingly long. The requisite oil quantity for
each housing is given in the tables.
The oil level indicator supplied with the housing should be screwed into
one of the four threaded holes provided in the housing covers. The remaining holes
may be used for oil drainage. The "max." and "min" oil levels given in the tables
should be marked on the indicator.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 43 of 53
UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003
The pick up ring must always be in position and it's freedom of movement should not be
restricted. If the ring is not incorporated . There will be an almost immediate danger of
bearing damage because of dry running .
It is recommended the pick up ring be positioned on the side of the bearing nearest the
shaft end in plummer blocks having bearings with cylindrical bore.
The side cover with four recesses in the spigot should be place in the same side of housing
as the pick up ring .
The vent of oil level indicator must not be plugged as otherwise an air cushion in the sight
glass may lead to false reading . The actual oil level will be too high and oil will leak out of
the plummer block shaft passage.
Before starting up for the first time , the oil quantity quoted in the table should be put
into the housing . The maximum oil level guarantees lubrication of bearing when it starts
running before it can be supplied with the oil picked up by the ring . Thus the oil level
should be restored to maximum before starting up after long stoppage.
Even if the housing is carefully cleaned before use there is risk that some impurities will
be left. It is therefore advisable to change the oil after an initial trial running period of
few hours. Subsequent changes can the be made at convenient intervals but should be
undertaken at least once in a year. The bearing must be at a standstill when the oil is
changed.
If , during the trial run no oil leaves the housing , a monthly check of the oil level should be
adequate.
During operation , the oil level may sink to the minimum level given in the tables . If oil is to
be added during operation , it should be filled to a level some 5 mm beneath the maximum
oil level on the indicator to avoid overfilling , since some oil will be in circulation .
A blind hole with an M24 thread plugged with a plastic stopper , is provided in the housing
cap. If required , a thermometer or the sensor of some other temperature measuring
device , may be inserted .The hole stops just short of bearing outer ring , so that it is
possible to measure the temperature in close proximity of the source of heat. A more rapid
indication of temperature change is obtained , would be possible by measuring the
temperature of oil .

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Never apply power to the fan motor for any reason until the fan has been
completely installed in its system, and the system inspected to be sure that no
debris has been left in the fan & ducts, and it is known that the inspection
doors at the inlet and outlet of the air passages are shut. The usual procedure
is to remove the fuses from the disconnect switch and open its safety
isolation switch until the installation is completed and inspected.
2. Start the fan momentarily and disconnect it. Observe rotation of the wheel or
the drive rotation is correct. Do not allow the fan to run backward, except
momentarily.
4. Always open the disconnect switch and lock it in the open position with a
padlock before doing any service or maintenance work on the fan.
5. After service of any kind make certain that all adjustment have been properly
made and tightened ,inspection doors closed, there is no debris in the air
passages and all tools have been removed before unlocking the disconnect
switch to place the fan in operation.
6. Make a periodic inspection of the fan wheel, bearings and coupling to be sure
that corrosion has not set in to weaken them. Where there are signs of
corrosion there is danger of mechanical failure. Corroded parts should be
replaced.

CONDITION ON DELIVERY
A. Transport :
The fans are dispatched in dismantled condition with proper packing.
Handle all fan parts with care. Use lifting lugs and good rigging techniques. Slings and
timbers should never be passed through the casing and impeller in order to assist in
rigging.
Pay particular attention to rotor assembly consisting impeller, hub, shaft, bearing
housings and bearings. Avoid any shocks that could damage the parts and their
coatings or alter the impeller balance. If the impeller is damaged slightly, it will have
to be repaired and balanced again.
C. Storage :
General :-
As soon as received ,the different parts of the fan should be placed in clean and dry
covered premises.
Long term storage
Storage for a period of more than three months must be ensured in the best
possible condition, basically protected from dampness so as to avoid oxidisation of
the different parts of the fan unit.
The mechanical parts with machined surfaces are coated with anti-corrosion varnish.
In the case of prolonged storage, before putting in to service, the equipment will be
inspected periodically and the machined parts will be protected from time to time
using protective coating in case of need.
They will be stored in sufficiently large premises, thus providing space for inspection
and easy maintenance of the equipment stored. Moreover , the storage premises will
protect the equipment from sudden changes in temperature, dust, foreign matter,
etc.
The impeller and bearing assembly should be rotated at a very low speed ( rotation
by hand) for about thirty minutes, once a week.
Storage of bearing
As a general rule, the bearings are given a rust prevention treatment in the works
before being packed. They can be preserved for several years, in their original
packing , on a condition that the relative humidity in the storage premises is not over
60 % A higher degree of relative humidity, up to 75% is however permissible for
short term storage.

The following procedure will be applicable rotor, loose bearings and bearing housings, if and
when used.
As the bearings are finished to high precision, thorough inspection and checking on the
following points are essential prior to assembly :
a) On opening the packing of bearings, the same shall be thoroughly checked for dirt or
other foreign matter and if found, same shall be carefully washed unless and until it is
necessary.
b) The shaft shall be checked for damage due to transport and handling. Particularly the
surfaces where the bearings are to be mounted should be checked for rusting, scoring
etc. Rust, if found, should be removed by rust remover. Heavy pitting on bearing
surfaces of shaft is not acceptable.
Localized scorings could be removed using oil stone.
If the shaft is found to have a bend, the same should not be used for assembly.
d) Bearing to be mounted shall be taken out of the original protective packing only
immediately before mounting.
e) The mounting and dismounting tools and necessary jigs must be of proper dimension and
simple design so that they do not cause any mechanical damage to the bearings.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 20 of 53
UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003
2) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS :-
A bearing with tapered bore, which is seated direct on a shaft, or which is mounted with
an adapter sleeve, ordinarily requires a somewhat tighter fit than a bearing with
cylindrical bore. This fit is achieved by pressing on the inner ring by means of a nut or
by driving in the sleeve. In both cases, the inner bearing is expanded and this results in
a reduction of radial bearing clearance.
If a double row self aligning ball bearing is mounted on an adapter sleeve, the sleeve
nut might be tightened but not so much as to prevent the outer bearing from turning
easily and it must be possible to swing the outer race easily from one side to the other
side.
Double row spherical roller bearings which are used mostly in heavy load applications are
mounted with greater interference. The radial clearance is adapted to this fit and its
reduction can be measured while mounting by means of a feeler gauge. For checking the
correct fit of the inner ring, both the reduction of radial clearance and the distance of
the inner ring is driven axially on the tapered seating or on the adapter sleeve and is
measured. For solid shafts, the axial displacement is approximately fifteen times as
large as the desired clearance reduction.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
e) Keep the rotor assembly in position but slightly elevated position on supports above
the bearing housing bottom halves.
f) Insert the double - lip seal on to the shaft at impeller end if applicable.
g) Insert the taper sleeve on to the shaft to the location with thread portion outside.
h) Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper
sleeve. (no locating ring for this bearing as this is free bearing).
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 21 of 53
UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003
i) Keep the gap between bearing to bearing housing to accommodate the expansion of
shaft as shown in our drawings.
j) Tighten the lock nut on the taper sleeve. For tightening the nut, do not use steel
chisel or rod but use either brass or copper rod for taking the force of hammer. The
necessary tightness is achieved when the brass or copper rod flares at the load
transfer end. Check for the clearance between roller and outer race as mentioned in
SKF catalogue.
l) Now start assembly of drive side (coupling side) bearing by inserting the double lip
seal on to the shaft if applicable.
n) Arrange the locating ring on one side or either side of bearing , as the case may be.
q) Locate the bearing position and assemble the lock washer and nut with the taper
sleeve.
s) Now keep the lock washer teeth locked to the lock nut groove by bending.
v) Lubricate the bearings with recommended grease from one side of the bearing with
pressure, so that the grease comes at the other side of the bearing through roller
gapes. Check that the bearing is greased uniformly on both sides all around. Fill the
bottom half of the bearing housing with grease.
w) Place the top half bearing housing without applying any grease. Check for free
rotation of the rotor assembly.
SKF can supply heating tools, such as oil baths, induction heaters,
heating cabinets and electric and electric plates with adjustable thermostat and
cover, for all common mounting needs.
Bearings with

LUBRICATION
Quantity : Press grease from one side of the bearing till it comes out through the opposite
end. Continue the process and rotate the impeller slowly by hand till the bearing is
completely filled with grease. Put some extra grease (not more than !/3 rd of inside volume
of plummer block) inside the plummer block .
INLET DAMPER
According to the installation conditions and the operating frequency of the inlet damper
following should be lubricated.
VANE BEARINGS : Make sure when topping up that the spent grease is discharged
normally.
LINK ROD PINS : Apply grease after cleaning if required.
Grease
For fans provided with spherical roller bearing, the bearings housing are
fitted with grease nipples and are fitted with the correct amount of grease
when requested.
The lubrication intervals and the amount of grease necessary for relubrication
The chart is based on a temperature of 70°C. For every 15°C increase in
temperature the lubrication interval should be reduced to 50% of the value
obtained from the chart.
(Example : For a fan fitted with spherical roller bearings with the bearing bore
diameter of 120mm and running at 1000RPM the relubrication interval will be
800 operating hours if the bearing's temperature does not exceed 70°C).
Oil
When inspecting the oil level of a bearing, check to ensure that the right type of
oil is in use and that the oil level gauge's air vent is unobstructed.
Take a small sample of the oil and compare it with fresh oil. If the sample look's
cloudy, then it is mixed with water and should be replaced.
Dark or thick oil is a sign of dirt or indicates that the oil has started to carbonize.
Change the oil completely and, if possible, clean the bearing by flushing it with
fresh oil . When changing the oil, be sure that you are using the same type of oil ,
and that you refill to the required level .
A more reliable method for determining the oil condition is to analyze a sample .
If the oil is contaminated it may be worthwhile to change the seals or consider
filtration .
Oil in oil bath circulation systems requires change only once each year, providing
that the operating temperatures does not exceed 50 to 60 º C and the oil does
not become contaminated . Change the oil four times each year for operating
temperatures of 100 º C ; monthly for operating temperature of 100 º C.

The spherical Roller Bearing in SOFN blocks are lubricated with oil: a pick-up ring
in the housing serves to bring about oil circulation . The pick-up ring hangs loosely
on a sleeve on the shaft at one side of the bearing and dips into oil in the lower
half of the housing. As the shaft rotates, the ring follows and transports oil from
the bottom of the housing to a collecting trough formed in the spigot (cylindrical
extension) of the one housing cover on a level with the rollers of the bearing under
the shaft thus permitting oil to enter the bearing. The oil then flows through an
opening in the spigot of the opposite housing cover back into the reservoir at the
bottom of the housing. The collecting trough is so dimensioned that the level of
the oil in the trough guarantees an optimum supply of lubricant to the bearing. The
oil in the rese3036rvoir at the bottom of the housing is cooled, depending on the
ambient temperature, before being re-circulated. This lubrication system permits
SOFN plummer blocks to be used for high-speed bearing applications. The
difference between the maximum and minimum oil levels in the reservoir may be
relatively large when a pick-up ring is employed. The intervals between oil
replenishment or oil change are correspondingly long. The requisite oil quantity for
each housing is given in the tables.
The oil level indicator supplied with the housing should be screwed into
one of the four threaded holes provided in the housing covers. The remaining holes
may be used for oil drainage. The "max." and "min" oil levels given in the tables
should be marked on the indicator.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 43 of 53
UID NO.:FAN MANUAL/Flakt2003
The pick up ring must always be in position and it's freedom of movement should not be
restricted. If the ring is not incorporated . There will be an almost immediate danger of
bearing damage because of dry running .
It is recommended the pick up ring be positioned on the side of the bearing nearest the
shaft end in plummer blocks having bearings with cylindrical bore.
The side cover with four recesses in the spigot should be place in the same side of housing
as the pick up ring .
The vent of oil level indicator must not be plugged as otherwise an air cushion in the sight
glass may lead to false reading . The actual oil level will be too high and oil will leak out of
the plummer block shaft passage.
Before starting up for the first time , the oil quantity quoted in the table should be put
into the housing . The maximum oil level guarantees lubrication of bearing when it starts
running before it can be supplied with the oil picked up by the ring . Thus the oil level
should be restored to maximum before starting up after long stoppage.
Even if the housing is carefully cleaned before use there is risk that some impurities will
be left. It is therefore advisable to change the oil after an initial trial running period of
few hours. Subsequent changes can the be made at convenient intervals but should be
undertaken at least once in a year. The bearing must be at a standstill when the oil is
changed.
If , during the trial run no oil leaves the housing , a monthly check of the oil level should be
adequate.
During operation , the oil level may sink to the minimum level given in the tables . If oil is to
be added during operation , it should be filled to a level some 5 mm beneath the maximum
oil level on the indicator to avoid overfilling , since some oil will be in circulation .
A blind hole with an M24 thread plugged with a plastic stopper , is provided in the housing
cap. If required , a thermometer or the sensor of some other temperature measuring
device , may be inserted .The hole stops just short of bearing outer ring , so that it is
possible to measure the temperature in close proximity of the source of heat. A more rapid
indication of temperature change is obtained , would be possible by measuring the
temperature of oil .

3 Design and Operation
3.1 Design

3 Design and Operation 3.1 Design
Housing
The VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING is designed with a split in horizontal
direction on the shaft center level. This housing forms the oil tank at the same time.
Coupling
The coupling consists of
• primary shaft and primary wheel,
• secondary shaft and secondary wheel,
• shell (flanged on primary wheel, enclosing the secondary wheel) and
• Scoop tube housing with actuator.
Primary shaft and primary wheel are rigidly connected with each other, the same
applies to secondary wheel and secondary shaft. The primary shaft is connected
with the driving machine and the secondary shaft with the driven machine.
Primary wheel, secondary wheel and shell form the working chamber. The working
oil circulates in the working chamber.
The scoop tube, with scoop tube housing, is integrated in the VARIABLE SPEED
TURBO COUPLING housing. The secondary shaft is supported in the scoop tube
housing.
Bearings
The primary and secondary shaft of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING are
supported by ball and roller bearings. The primary shaft is guided axially via a rela-
tive bearing (between primary and secondary shaft)
Oil pumps
A filling pump in the oil tank delivers the operating oil for the working oil and lube oil
lube circuit. The filling pump is mechanically driven by the primary shaft of VARI-
ABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING .
An electrically driven aux.lube oil pump is installed to supply lube oil to external
units during start up and shut down (Aux. lube oil pump is optional and not a stan-
dard supply. Supplied only on order).
10
3 Design and Operation 3.2 Power transmission
The VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING transmits power wearfree from a driv-
ing machine to a driven machine. Power is transmitted as follows:
Mechanical energy-
kinetic energy
The power of driving machine is transmitted through the primary wheel (function:
pump) onto the working oil; the working oil is accelerated in the primary wheel, and
the mechanical energy is converted into kinetic energy. The secondary wheel
(function: turbine) absorbs the kinetic energy and converts it back into mechanical
energy. This energy is transmitted to the driven machine.
Fusible plugs
If the oil temperature rises to 160º C (320º F) due to a failure, the solder of fusible
plugs in the coupling melts and oil is thrown into the housing of VARIABLE SPEED
TURBO COUPLING. The coupling drains its oil, thus reducing torque transmission.

The speed of driven machine may be controlled steplessly. For this purpose, the
coupling oil filling is changed during operation by means of the movable scoop
tube:
• Scoop tube inserted as far as possible in the scoop chamber of coupling (0%
position): minimum oil ring, minimum output speed.
• Scoop tube moved as far as possible out of the scoop chamber of coupling
(100% position): maximum oil ring, maximum output speed.

3.4 Lubrication
3.4.1 Self-lubrication
Bearings and gears of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING need to be lubri-
cated prior to and during operation.
• Heat exchanger,
• Double oil filter and
• Lube oil orifice
the filtered and cooled oil gets to the lubrication points.
Only an indirect influence of lube oil flow rate is possible by changing the lube oil
pressure.
Lube oil pressure
The lube oil pressure is set at the lube oil orifice and monitored by pressure mea-
suring instruments (pressure gauge, pressure switch).
Lube oil temperature
The lube oil temperature is monitored by temperature measuring instruments.
The oil for lubrication of driving machine and driven machine is taken from the lube
oil circuit of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING through the external oil orifice
and fed back into the oil tank of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING.
Lube oil pressure,
lube oil flow rate
Lube oil pressure and lube oil flow rate are set by the external oil orifice down-
stream of the double oil filter and set by the working oil orifice plate.
Note!
i Lube oil flow rate and lube oil pressure for the supply of external units will be indi-
cated in the order confirmation.
If the supply of external oil to external units becomes necessary only subsequently,
please consult the Voith after-sales-service.

4.3 Storage and preservation
Corrosion protection
in India
On shipment, the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING is internally wetted with
oil (either by test oil during the test run or by spraying it with a solvent -free corro-
sion preventing oil). This wetting with oil is a sufficient corrosion protection in
India for a period of 24 months. A condition is that the machine is stored in dry
room.
Corrosion protection
overseas
For overseas shipments, the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING is packed in
an extra foil. Desiccant bags in the packing bind some of the humidity. Machines
packed using this method can also be stored for 24 months in a closed and dry
room. The foil must not be cut or damaged.
Long-term preservation
For VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLINGs to be stored longer than 24 months,
Voith Turbo offers special long-term preservation.

Danger!
Heat may accumulate when using acoustic covers without ports. When com-
pressors are encapsulated gas leakages may cause intoxication, suffocation
and explosions.
Always provide acoustic covers with vent holes to dissipate the heat and to
exchange the air.
• Provide separate ventilation for electric motors. The cooling air of an air-cooled
electric motor may be used for ventilation, if necessary (consider the characteris-
tic curve of motor fan and the required motor cooling).
• Regulate the air circuit in the cover to ensure heat dissipation (determine the
throughput for a cooling air temperature increase of 10ºC (50º F)).
• Lead the ventilation of gear housing and coverings (closed connecting coupling
covers) through pipes via the acoustic covers.
• Provide openings and sealrings for shaft passages, window to observe the instru-
ments, pipe and cable ducts and vents.

5 Assembly 5.10 Fitting a scoop tube actuator
Before fitting a scoop tube actuator, check the scoop tube position. The scoop tube
side where the word 'OBEN" engraved must point upwards.
Mount the scoop tube actuator so that the scoop tube can be mounted in any posi-
tion. Secure against distortion (use cardan joints, not ball joints).
Note!
i Take actions to limit the scoop tube stroke at the actuator and not at the scoop
tube!
Connect the scoop tube and the scoop tube actuator so that neither play nor vibra-
tion occurs. Small scoop tube irregularities (e.g. due to oil pressure variations) will
then have no adverse effect.

7 Operation 7.3 Machine operation
With warm operating oil and scoop tube position at 0%, the oil level must not
exceed the max. mark L1 or must not fall below the min. oil level mark L2 at 100%
scoop tube position.
The oil level is reduced between 0% and 100% scoop tube position since the cou-
pling runner fills with oil. Even when switching of the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO
COUPLING at 0% scoop tube position, part of the operating oil remains in the cou-
pling runner.
An exact oil level check is possible only when the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO
COUPLING is running and at 0% scoop tube position.
The actuator positions the scoop tube between 0% and 100%. The scoop tube
position is determined by the speed of driven machine.

Double oil filter ter at
The double oil filter cleans the lube oil. It has two filtering jugs of which only one is
always supplied with oil during operation. The filter is provided with a differential
pressure indicator and/or a differential pressure switch initiating an alarm, in case of
a too high difference between lube oil pressure upstream and downstream of the fil-
ter. In case of alarm, the filtering jug in operation does no longer provide enough oil
and needs to be cleaned (!section 8.2 " Cleaning the double oil filter" on page
58).
i Note!
Therefore, check the condition of the double oil filter during commissioning and
clean (even several times), if necessary.

Tailspin
Tailspin means the slow rotation of coupling by the driven machine when the unit is
switched off, e.g. in case of fan drives.
When the drive motor is switched off, the bearings of VARIABLE SPEED TURBO
COUPLING are no longer lubricated. Dependent on the speed and duration of tail-
spin, the bearings run dry and may be damaged.
Counteractions
• Switch on the main motor for approx.2 minutes or
• switch on the auxiliary lube oil pump, if available, to provide the bearings with oil.
Warning!
Reverse rotation is not allowed with the installed gear pump provided with
plain bearings.

pling rest for 1 to 2 days. Drain the condensation water out of the oil drain valve
provided at the housing bottom.
• Synthetic fluids with a density of > 1.0 (water floats on top): remove the conden-
sation water by suction.
• Have the oil checked for impurities by the oil supplier or a competent laboratory.

1. Range of Application:
This list covers the operating fluid requirements and gives a selection of the recommended fluids for
standard types with hydrodynamic circuits without gear stage. This list may not be applicable in
individual cases involving special requiremens. In such cases, the appropriate specifications will be
agreed when handling the order or be stated in the instruction manual.
For constant speed turbo couplings type "T" and Voith geard variable speed turbo couplings type "R" as
well as for other products, appropriate separate specifications must be referred to.
The characteristics for turbo couplings with oil circulation or variable speed turbo couplings "S", turbo
coupling with pumped oil supply "TP" and "DTP" and hydrodynamic brakes "VIR" in accordance with
the requisition sheet No: 740080077, which is available to the oil companies, must be met. The most
important data are detailed below:
Viscosity restrictions or differing viscosity range at extreme operating temperatures (to be particularly
specified)
Under consideration of the requirements (section 2 and sheet No:740080077), the following types may be
used.
It must be monitored that there is sufficient air release property (behaviour of the pump pressures and
control stability).
Any unsatisfactory operating results lead to the omission of any associated claims under warranty.
Change the oil in case of fluctuation of pressure and speed variation. Also deterine the LAV value, if
necessary.
The value of the damage power stage reduces with increasing aging of oil.
The extreme pressure (E.P.) additives decompose due to high temperature ( > 130 0 C)
Visual check of tooth flanks. Possibly determine the still existing damage power stage.
The more frequently the coupling heats up and cools down, the more condensation water is produced. In
order not to centrifuge the total oil filling, the coupling should be out of operation for 1-2 days and then the
condensation water should be drained by means of the drain cock at the bottom. Since the water is
heavier than the mineral oil, it settles at the bottom.
In case of synthetic fluids with a density>1.0, the water floats on top and can be drawn off.

Spare parts are supplied according to the latest state of art. We therefore recom-
mend to store spare parts as specified in the offer.
The description refers to the surface protection as far as the surfaces are uncoated
and/or not corrosion-resistant or are of aluminium casting materials.
Corrosion protection
within India
Parts of the VARIABLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING are wetted with oil (i.e. by
spraying with solvent-free flushing oil) or packed in oil paper or foil during shipment,
which means a 12 months protection against corrossion in case of dry storage
within India.
Corrosion protection
outside India
In addition, parts of the VARIBLE SPEED TURBO COUPLING are welded in foil.
Dessicant bags in the packing bind part of the humidity. Machine parts packed that

The Bimetal thermometer employs a bimetal strip in the form of helix (it works on the principle of thermal
expansion - two metals having different coefficient of expansions are joined to form a bimetal. The resultant
expansion of bimetal is proportional to temperature). Bimetal dial thermometers are simple in construction,
yet rugged. They are used for measurement of temperature in most of the industrial applications. They are
offered in the range of (-) 500C to 6000C. With rigid stem having bottom or back entry. It can also be
offered in every angle rotatable construction.
