couple to a turbine. The gear assembly has an integral coupling hub to couple to a generator.
Gears and pinions are made from carburizing grade alloy steel forgings.
LUFKIN gears are computer designed and rated according to the latest American Petroleum
Institute (API) and American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) standards.
Conservative service factors, based on API and AGMA recommendations and on LUFKIN's
experience, are applied to the ratings to ensure long gear life.

1.3.3 Bearings
Both the high speed and low speed bearings are hydrodynamic journal bearings with pressure
dams. Thrust bearings are not provided. The low speed gear shaft has ½ inch endplay;
however, axial position of the pinion is limited by the clutch located between the pinion and
the turning drive.

1.3.4 Instrumentation
Installed instrumentation includes:
• four embedded RTD’s, Minco duplex, platinum element, one in each radial bearing
• two accelerometers–Bentley Nevada
• vibration probe provisions
• all necessary interconnecting lead wires
1.3.5 Housing
The housing is a three piece fabricated steel structure, with the split lines on the horizontal
centerlines of the rotating elements. Inspection covers are provided for inspection and
examination of all gear components, with a vent connection provided in the center section to
maintain atmospheric pressure inside the gear housing. The outside housing is painted with
an epoxy topcoat. The inside is not coated. 

1.3.6 Lubrication
The unit uses AGMA standard Light Turbine Oil, 150 SSU at 100  F (ISO# VG-32, 32 cSt at

40   C). Pressurized lubrication is carried by inmesh and outmesh spray pipes with spray
˚

nozzles at a maximum flow of 275 gpm at 30 psi with a maximum inlet temperature of 140 F ˚

(1250 L/min. at 207 KPa with an inlet temperature of 60 C.) The lubrication system is
˚

provided by the customer after delivery.

1.3.7  Accessories
This unit is supplied with a Safeset clutch located between the quill and torque shaft that
limits the amount of overload that can be transmitted by the gearbox. This unit is also
provided with a Koenig Turning Drive. The clutch between the turning drive and the high
speed pinion is designed to dis-engage when the speed of the pinion exceeds that of the
turning drive output shaft. See the Koenig section of the manual as well as pages 8 & 9 of
this manual for specific requirements. NOTE: The Koenig turning drive needs to be filled
with a special lubricant to the level recommended in the Koenig section of this manual prior
to activation.

Installation 3
3.1 RECEIPT OF SHIPMENT 
Equipment should be checked against shipping papers on receipt. The gear unit should also
undergo a visual inspection to ensure that no damage has occurred during shipment. If you
suspect that the unit may be damaged, contact LUFKIN for assistance. Check:
• Gear casing and shafts for signs of damage.
• Any gauges provided for cracks in the glass.
• Piping for dents, crimps, cracks or other damage.
A black coating of Equipment-Kote™ by Esgard, Inc., has been applied to all non-painted
surfaces. Before installation, carefully remove the coating, using a safe solvent and a soft rag.
Take care not to damage any oil seals or shafting while cleaning. All piping furnished by
anyone other than LUFKIN should be carefully cleaned.
The Installation Plan drawing for the gear will show all customer piping connections as well
as any electrical connections.

3.2 STORAGE 
The gear is tested at LUFKIN with a break-in oil that contains a rust preventative (Interfilm
Type 1™ by Esgard, Inc.) which will protect the internal parts for at least six months after
shipment. Do not store the gear unit outdoors unless covered. If the inoperative period is
greater than six months, see "Corrosion Protection During Inoperative Periods."

3.2.1 Corrosion Protection During Inoperative Periods


NOTE:  Items 1 through 4 assume normal atmospheric conditions.
1. On new gear units shipped from LUFKIN, the rust inhibitor adhering to exposed
surfaces should prevent corrosion of interior parts for at least six months with covered
storage.
2. When the unit has been operated for a period of time with a recommended lubricating
oil, the oil will protect interior parts for inoperative periods up to 30 days.
3. If additional down time is needed, the customer should hand spray oil on the gear mesh
and manually rotate the gear unit shafts every 30 days to redistribute the oil and gain
protection for 30 days.
4. If extended down time is expected and it is impractical to turn the shafts, a rust

protection against corrosion. This oil should be compatible with the operating oil, and it
should be unnecessary to remove the rust preventive oil when the reducer is started
again.
5. For adverse conditions or long term storage, coat all parts with rust inhibitor compatible
with operating oil and seal all openings.
6. A second method of long term storage is to disassemble the unit and coat each part with
Cosmoline™ or equivalent. Before the unit can be placed in service, special cleaning
with solvents will be necessary to remove all preservative from unit and parts.

3.4 FOUNDATION 
The unit must be seated on a substantial foundation. The unit is mounted in a base plate
enclosure with tapped holes already in place so that bolts can be used to clamp down the feet
of the gear unit (with the proper shims in place) at all positions. Shim space allows room for
proper positioning of the gear unit for slow speed and high speed coupling alignment. In
making up the shim pack use as few shims as possible so that the pack will not be "soft". The
housing must not be twisted or in a bind as this will adversely affect tooth contact and will
cause bearing edge loading.

shaft. This ring must be removed prior to start-up. Store the
bushing for later use in alignment or transport.

3.6 ALIGNMENT 
3.6.1 General
Securing proper shaft alignment is one of the most important
phases of setting up a gear unit. Any appreciable misalignment

and gear tooth wear to vibration  problems. Uncorrected
Adequate foundation must be provided misalignment can lead to catastrophic failure. Therefore, it is
for proper alignment. essential that thermal  growth and shaft operating position in
the bearings be anticipated during shaft alignment and that
good alignment be maintained.

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

3.6.2 Anticipation of Shaft


Operating Positions
The axial and radial running position of each
shaft must be determined and set correctly. The
running positions depend on operating load and
temperature and will differ from the positions
under no load and at ambient temperature
because of thermal expansion of the gear
housing and the direction of the bearing
loading. A temperature rise of 30–70 degrees
Fahrenheit (15–40 degrees Celsius) is within
normal range. For expected movement and
thermal growth values see Figures 2, 3, and 4
and see the Installation Plan drawing. Couplings
should allow the shafts to float axially. Figure 2
The driven and driving machines also have
thermal movement which must be either added
or subtracted from the gear movement,
depending upon the direction of the movements.
The gear can be initially centered in the housing
by measuring the extensions as indicated on the
Installation Plan drawing.

The pinion with the turning drive attached has a


requirement to maintain a dimension between
the turning drive clutch input flange and output
ring of 2.313 to 2.125 inches. This dimensional
envelope must be maintained at all times from
stationary cold position to operating at thermal
and rotational maximums. Operation with this
dimension below minimum can damage the
turning drive while operation above the Figure 3
maximum dimension can result in a turning
drive that cannot disengage, and catastrophic
failure of the turning drive if the turbine is
started.
3.6.3 Alignment Sequence
The alignment of these equipment trains is covered in detail in the GE Alignment Procedure.
In general terms it consists of a cold set up that makes allowance for the vertical and
horizontal offsets to compensate for the thermal and mechanical movements seen when the

1.  Position the equipment on the base as instructed with shims as desired to permit future
equipment replacement if desired.
2.  Connect the low speed torque shaft to the generator. Apply torque to the pinion until
the pinion is pulled in operating mesh with the gear.
3.  Check dimension between clutch input flange and output ring. This dimension should
be 2.150±0.025 cold.

4. Move the gearbox or the generator axially until the dimensional requirement is met.
NOTE: High speed shaft coupling “stretch” should be established from the pinion position
established in (3) above.

5.  Pull pinion flange toward turbine and verify dimension between clutch input flange and
output ring is less than 2.300.

After coupling alignment is established, place coupling guards in position and secure.

3.7 TOOTH CONTACT CHECK 


After completing the start-up procedure outlined in OPERATION, run the unit for two hours
under a light load, shut it down and remove the inspection cover to observe the areas on the
pinion where the blue has worn off.

Operation 4
4.1 LUBRICATION 
At the time of shipment, LUFKIN coats interior gear parts with a rust preventative oil. This
oil should be compatible with the operating oil, and it should not be necessary to flush the
unit prior to putting in lubricating oil.
In the gear drive, lubrication serves three basic functions:
1. To separate tooth surfaces and prevent metal-to-metal contact, thereby reducing friction
and wear.
2. To remove heat losses at the gear mesh.
3. To remove heat produced in the bearings.
It is very important to the successful and satisfactory operation of a gear unit that careful
attention be given to proper lubrication, and that the lubricant be kept clean. Every precaution
should be taken to prevent water and foreign particles from entering the gear case. If the oil
does become contaminated by water or foreign particles, it should be analyzed and changed,
if necessary, or cleaned and reconditioned.

4.2 OIL TYPE AND GRADE 


The lubricating oil must be high grade, high quality, well
refined petroleum oil. Straight mineral type lubricant
CAUTION:   should be used. Consult LUFKIN before using any
synthetic lubricants.
Do not change grades of oil without It is essential that the oil be clean and non-corrosive to
approval by LUFKIN.
gears and bearings. It must be neutral in reaction, possess
good defoaming properties, and also have good resistance
to oxidation.
LUFKIN specifies light turbine oil on the Parts List and Installation Plan drawings, as well as
on the unit nameplate. Also see INTRODUCTION, “Lubrication”. It is useful to take a
baseline analysis of the oil being put into the unit for later comparison.

4.3 CUSTOMER CHECK BEFORE START-UP 


1. Check all instrumentation and lubrication connections.
2. Check the lubricating system for correct type and quantity of oil.
3. Check for correct shaft alignment. See INSTALLATION.
4. Check that all necessary piping and accessory wiring is complete.
5. Check for foundation bolt tightness. See INSTALLATION.

4.4 START-UP PROCEDURE 
Activate turning drive and operate at turning drive speed
Coupling guards and inspection covers while ensuring acceptable oil pressure, etc. Start turbine and
must be secured BEFORE start-up. operate at idle speed until temperature is stabilized. Ensure
turning drive has disengaged. Bring up to operating speed and
check for acceptable temperature and vibration.
CAUTION:  
Operation of the gear unit with no oil will
result in damage.
4.5. CUSTOMER CHECK AFTER
START-UP 
1. Watch the bearings for a sudden high temperature rise which could indicate a bearing
problem.
2. Run gear under full load and speed and check for unusual noise and vibration. Expected
maximum shaft vibration level for the NFVQ2419D is 2.0 mils (0.05 mm) peak-to-peak
displacement. The expected maximum housing velocity is 0.2 in/sec peak (5 mm/sec).
The preliminary settings for warning indicators offered below in “Alarm Switches”
exceed the expected operating levels.
3. Also check oil temperature and bearing temperature. See “Alarm Switches” below for
starting alarm settings. After temperature stabilization, the oil temperature into the gear
unit should generally not be hotter than 140°F (60°C).
4. After unit has run for two hours under load, start turning drive and shut unit down.
Operate turning drive until unit has cooled acceptably. Shut turning drive down. Check
coupling alignment, check and tighten any bolts that may be loose, and check tooth
contact.

5.2 DAILY MAINTENANCE
• Check the oil temperature and pressure against previously established norms.
• Check for unusual vibration and noise.
• Check for oil leaks.

5.3 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
• Check operation of auxiliary equipment and/or instrumentation and alarms.
• Check tightness of foundation bolts.
• Check oil for possible contamination. A sample should be obtained from the floor of the
gear case.

noted, respond and have them evaluated

Take an oil sample and submit for laboratory analysis. Compare the results to the initial
baseline analysis done when oil was first put into the unit. It is recommended that the oil
be changed in the following cases:

5.4.1 Oil Analysis Guidelines


• The total acid number increases by 2. For example: new oil might have a total acid
number of 0.4. When this number increases to 2.4 or above, the oil should be
changed. This acid number increase is associated with oxidation of the oil which
results in oil breakdown.
• The total solid content is more than 2%.  This would indicate excessive dirt and/or
wear particles.
• A rapid change in viscosity is noted.  Gear oil is "sheared" as it lubricates the
meshing gear teeth. This shearing eventually causes the oil to thin out and lose its
film thickness. A rapid decrease could mean oxidation. A decrease of 10% is
excessive.
• The water content is more than 0.1%. Water in oil causes the oil to lose its film
strength and also will cause corrosion to gear elements and bearings.
• The silicon content is above 50 parts per million. This signifies the oil is dirty.
• The iron content is above 200 parts per million. This indicates contamination from
gear wear particles.
• A rapid increase is noted in any of the wear elements. As a guide, if rapid
increases of any of the following materials are detected, the probable origins of that
material are listed.
• Alloy Steel–Gear teeth, bearings
• Mild Steel–Oil pump, slinger, or baffle rubbing gear case
• Cast Iron–Oil pump
• Aluminum–Oil seal, seal guards or carriers
• Babbitt –Journal bearings

5.5 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
• Check bearing clearance and endplay.
• Check tooth contact pattern.
• Visually inspect couplings and check alignment.
• Inspect tags and labels showing replacement part numbers. Replace if necessary.
• Inspect warning signs and labels. Replace if necessary.

5.6 OIL CHANGE INTERVALS
Under normal operating conditions, the lubricating oil should be changed every 2500 hours
of operation or every six months, whichever comes first.
The gear elements should be carefully visually inspected

been reached before starting again.
Complete oil changes for units with large capacity oil
systems are sometimes impractical. In this case, draining the oil system, cleaning the
reservoir and/or gear sump, and then recharging the system with the original oil that has been
cleaned and reconditioned may be sufficient. If this approach is taken, LUFKIN strongly
recommends routine oil analysis so that any breakdown of the oil being reused can be
detected before affecting gear operation.

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 21/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

Ensure that wire is twisted together tightly so that bearings will not shift when pinion
is removed.
c. Separate the bearings after pinion removal only if necessary to perform bearing
inspection. See BEARING INSPECTION for details on assessing bearing condition.
3. Remove the high speed pinion (with its bearings if attached) using a soft sling on each
side of the mesh. Place the pinion on a soft material such as wood or rubber or a padded
V rack, taking care not to damage the gear teeth or bearings. If bearing inspection is to
be performed, remove the wire and bearings prior to positioning pinion.

6.6 REMOVAL OF LOW SPEED GEAR 


1. Remove the middle section of the cover in the same manner as the top cover was
removed.
2.  Reinsert blue transport bushing (see INSTALLATION, “Transport Bushing”) so the
torque shaft will stay centered in the quill shaft.
3. Attach the bearings to the gear prior to removal of gear as follows:
a. Note (and mark if the factory marking has worn off) the exact orientation of the
bearings and which faces are “out” so that they can be replaced correctly.
c.  Insert 0.03 to 0.05 ∅  wire around oil feed groove of each bearing and twist ends
together. (This will keep bearing halves together during removal from gearbox.)
Ensure that wire is twisted together tightly so that bearings will not shift when pinion
is removed.
c. Separate the bearings after pinion removal only if necessary to perform bearing
inspection. See BEARING INSPECTION for details on assessing bearing condition.
4. Remove the gear with attached bearings and coupling by attaching soft slings on either
side of the mesh and lifting carefully. Set the gear assembly on a soft material such as
wood or rubber or a padded V rack, taking care not to damage the gear teeth or
bearings. If bearing inspection is to be performed, remove the wire and bearings prior
to positioning gear.
5. See GEAR INSPECTION for an analysis of gear problems.

6.7 REMOVAL OF TORQUE SHAFT 


Generally the torque shaft may be left inside the quill shaft. However, if it must be removed,
use the following procedure.
1. Torque shaft must be disconnected before removing from quill shaft.
2.  Remove retainer plate from Safeset Clutch and stop nuts from the studs in the quill
shaft.
3. Depressurize Safeset clutch (see Safeset manual for details). Use a plate or bar with
studs or screws to press torque shaft out of clutch. Support clutch during this process
and remove the clutch from quill flange. Set clutch aside.
4. Place a sling on a crane or hoist around the extension end of the torque shaft and lift
carefully to support the torque shaft without lifting the gear.
5. Keeping the shaft level, carefully slide it out of the quill shaft about half way.
6. Move the sling support toward the center of the shaft and slide it 3/4 of the way out.
7. Supporting the shaft in two places at no more than 1/3 of the way from either end, slide
it all the way out of the quill shaft.
8. Carefully place on a on a soft material such as wood or rubber or a padded V rack.

Gear Inspection  7
7.1 TOOTH CONTACT CHECKING 
7.1.1 Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to describe why you should check gear tooth contact, how the
actual check is made, and how to interpret the tooth contact check on power transmission
gearing with involute double helical teeth and parallel input and output shafts.

7.1.2 Why Check Tooth Contact


Gear teeth must have an even load across the entire face
DANGER:   width to minimize stress on the teeth. The contact between

the rotating elements (pinion and gear) is critical. Tooth

elements, the housing, and the bearing assembly.

7.1.3 When to Check Tooth Contact


Tooth contact should be checked on all new installations, after any disassembly of the gear
unit, and after any major housing-to-foundation change. It may also be checked as part of
routine annual maintenance or when a problem related to alignment is suspected. Contact
must be checked on the job foundation to be sure the unit will operate properly.

7.1.4 How to Check Tooth Contact

gearboxes. The references to soft blue contact checks are retained in this publication only for
reference and possible use if dealing with other horizontal offset gearboxes.
• Soft blue: Apply soft machinist's bluing or transfer bluing to the teeth of one gear and roll
that gear by hand through mesh with its mating gear. (The terms “blue” or “bluing” are
used for convenience; the dye is available in other colors.) The transfer of the blue from
one gear to the other gear is read as the contact.
• Hard blue: Paint the gear teeth with hard or layout blue, run the gear unit, and observe
the pattern of 'wear-off' of the bluing.
Contact checking may usually be accomplished through the inspection cover port.
Occasionally, soft blue checking is done with the housing cover removed, such as during the
reassembly process.

7.1.5 Soft Blue Method


The soft blue method is usually done first. Since the unit is not running, this check does not
give true contact. It does give a good indication of what contact will be. If it indicates
inadequate contact, you may choose not to start the unit until contact is corrected. If the unit
has been disassembled, then a soft blue check before the housing cover is installed may save
a tear-down to correct contact. This is especially important if a new set of rotating elements
or bearings is installed.

page 18  NFVQ2419D

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 23/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

Soft blue is usually applied to three or four teeth on the pinion in two places 180° apart.
Clean the teeth thoroughly with solvent, and brush on the blue in a very thin and even layer.
With the gear set centered, hold a drag on the gear and roll the pinion through mesh with the
gear. Rotation direction is not important, but the contact must be checked on the loaded flank,
not the unloaded tooth flank. Observe the blue that transferred from the pinion to the gear.
This is the contact pattern.
Cellophane tape can be used to remove this blue pattern from the gear and save it for
maintenance records: after the check, firmly place a piece of tape on the gear tooth flank,
remove the tape, place it on a clean sheet of white paper, and label it with:
• the date
• name and number of the part the tape was lifted from
• the wing and apex
• which helix (left or right, noting whether wing or apex is leading)
The contact should be checked at three places around the gear (approximately 120   apart;)
˚

however, the blue must be reapplied and smoothed on the pinion after each meshing.

7.1.6 Hard Blue Method


Thoroughly clean the area where hard blue is to be applied. The teeth must be absolutely free
of oil, or the blue will not adhere properly and large flakes will chip off, making the contact
check inaccurate.
Apply the blue to an area three or four teeth wide at four places on the gear and at two on the
pinion. Run the unit (usually at full speed.) Running conditions may vary from no load to full
load. The best way is to run the unit at very light load (up to 20%) for two hours or so, and
then shut it down and check the contact. With higher loads the unit should run a shorter time
before checking contact. The trick is to run the unit just long enough to wear the blue off the
areas of higher contact stress. High loads can mask poor contact and give a false reading.

7.2 INTERPRETATION OF TOOTH CONTACT 


The following is information to be used only for guidance in deciding if tooth contact is
adequate. Contact LUFKIN on how to correct poor contact. Assuming properly manufactured
parts, minor corrections can be made to the tooth contact by shimming the gear housing.
Exactly what contact should be acceptable has to be based on LUFKIN's recommendations
and experience.
Remember that tip or root relief modifications are designed to improve load distribution
when a unit is operating under load, but they can make the contact appear quite bad under no
load, as in a soft blue check. Generally, with a soft blue check you are looking for some blue
to transfer, usually in a line that covers at least 80% of the face width. Do not be alarmed by a
lack of blue covering the flank of the tooth; flank contact should normally not extend entirely
to the tip of the tooth. See Figure 5 for examples of tooth contact patterns. Keep in mind that
a soft blue contact will not produce such dark impressions–look for the same pattern in a
“sketchy” impression.
The hard blue check can be done from no load to full load, and the results will vary with the
load condition. If the unit is run at no load the test will usually appear similar to a soft blue
check. More blue will wear off the pinion than the gear due to the higher number of cycles
the pinion sees. As the load increases, blue will wear off more of the tooth flank. Look for
evidence of even load across as much of the gear tooth, both flank and face width, as
possible.

7.3 GEAR CONDITION ASSESSMENT 


During the initial operating period of a set of gears, minor tooth imperfections will be
smoothed out, and the working surfaces will polish out under normal operating conditions;
however, the life of a gear set may be seriously shortened by the following problems:
• poor coupling alignment
• dirty lube oil
• insufficient lubrication
• poor tooth contact
• overloading the teeth.
In assessing gear wear, observe carefully and document the condition of the tooth surface
and the operating conditions. It is recommended that before a questionable gear set is
considered inoperative, periodic examinations be made with photographs or carbon
impressions to determine whether or not the observed condition is progressive.

7.3.1 Types of Gear Wear or Failure


Listed below are several common types of gear wear or failure, extracted from Appearance of
Gear Teeth–Terminology of Wear and Failure, ANSI/AGMA 1010-E95 (revision of
ANSI/AGMA 110.04), Dec. 1995 with the permission of the publisher, The American Gear
Manufacturers Association, 1550 King Street, Suite 201, Alexandria, Virginia 22314.
Additional information with photographs and illustrations may be found in this bulletin.

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

 Abrasion – Type of wear: Removal or displacement of material due to the presence of hard
particles suspended in the lubricant or embedded in the flanks of the mating teeth 
(includes scoring).
 Bending fatigue– Progressive failure through crack initiation, propagation, and fracture.
Contact fatigue–  Cracks and the detachment of material fragments from the gear tooth

surface caused by contact stress (includes pitting, spalling and subcase fatigue.)


Corrosion–  Type of wear: Chemical or electrochemical reaction between the surface of a
gear and its environment.
Cracks– Splits caused by bending fatigue, mechanical stress, thermal stress, material flaws, or
improper processing.
 Erosion– Type of wear: Loss of material from surface because of relative motion of a high
velocity fluid.
Fracture– A fatigue failure caused by tooth overloading resulting in gear tooth or portion of
tooth breaking off (includes tooth shear.)
Plastic deformation–  Deformation caused by stress exceeding the yield strength of the
material (including indentation, cold flow, hot flow, rolling, tooth hammer, rippling,
ridging, burring, root fillet yielding, or tip-to-root interference.)
Scuffing– Severe adhesion that causes transfer of metal from one tooth surface to another due
to welding and tearing.
Wear– Change to a gear tooth surface involving the removal or displacement of material,
caused by mechanical, chemical, or electrical action (includes adhesion, abrasion,
 polishing, corrosion, fretting corrosion, scaling, cavitation, erosion, electrical
discharge, and rippling.) 

7.3.2 Definition of Gear Failure


It should be understood that the above mentioned types of wear do not necessarily constitute
complete failure, for failure is a matter of degree or rate of progression.

LUFKIN's standard journal bearings for
NFVQ2419D gear units are split, steel-backed,
babbitt-lined, pressure dam journal bearings,
shown in Figure 6. The pressure dam bearing

in a circumferential direction to
prevent axial scratches. Bearing surfaces should be thoroughly inspected for:
• correct clearance
• high spots
• flaking of babbitt
• scoring
• wiping
8.2.1 Bearing Clearance
The journal bearings used in LUFKIN gears must have clearance between the journal and the
bearing. The amount of clearance necessary depends on the oil viscosity, the journal speed
and the bearing loading. Each of these parameters is considered in calculating clearance that
will provide hydrodynamic lubrication, as well as sufficient oil flow for cooling.
Design clearance on the high speed pinion is 0.017–0.019 inch (0.43 mm–0.48 mm) and on
the low speed gear is 0.015–0.017 inch (0.38 mm – 0.43 mm).
Measurement of bearing clearances may be accomplished while the gear is stopped by lifting
the shaft and measuring the distance traveled with a dial indicator or by using feeler gauges,
carefully sliding a feeler gauge between the top of the bearing bore and the shaft.

page 22  NFVQ2419D

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 27/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

Some wear should be expected, especially on a gear that is stopped and started frequently.
The bearing may be considered operational as long as the measured clearance does not
exceed the design clearance by more than 0.002" (0.050 mm).
NOTE: If shaft vibration is excessive, this clearance increase may not be
acceptable–contact LUFKIN.

8.2.2 Bearing Contact and Correction


High speed and low speed bearings should be checked as they are seated for correct bearing
contact using Prussian blue dye. This may be done by rolling out one shell at a time for
inspection of transfer of blue dye between shaft and journal.
To check the bearing contact, install the loaded half of the bearing in the housing with the
 journal clean and dry. (For the pinion bearing, the loaded half is the “top” half–put it in the
upper bore of the middle section of the housing just for the contact check.) Check the outside
diameter of the bearing with a 0.0015" (0.035 mm) feeler gauge to be sure the lower half is
seated in the housing. In the axial direction, apply a very light line of Prussian blue to the
 journal and rotate 360 . The journal should show blue transfer for a minimum of 80% of the
˚

bearing length.

corrected by scraping and polishing one of the bearings loaded section to spread the contact
along the face width. If this is necessary, contact LUFKIN.
After correcting bearing and tooth contact and before putting the cover on the gear unit, the
bearings should be liberally lubricated with clean oil to provide for initial start-up lubrication.

8.2.4 Flaking of Babbitt


Flaking of babbitt in the load area of the bearing is caused by vibration or shock loading of
the bearing material, causing the babbitt to fatigue and break loose from the steel shell. The
flakes cause scoring as they pass through the bearing and contaminate the lubricating oil. In
the advanced stages of flaking, the load carrying area of the bearing is destroyed and the
bearing must be replaced. However, if flaking is caught in the early stages, the bearing may
be repaired by scraping and polishing. The cause of vibration or hammering should be
corrected before the unit is put back in service.

8.2.5 Scoring
Scoring, scratching, or marring of the bearing babbitt and/or the journal riding in the bearing
is caused by dirt or metal particles in the oil which passes through the bearing. A little scoring
is not serious, and the bearing may be polished with fine steel wool to remove any rough
edges caused by scoring. Any foreign particles embedded in the babbitt which could score the
 journal should be carefully picked out, and that area should then be polished smooth. Scoring
becomes serious when it significantly reduces the bearing area. In this case, the bearing
should be replaced and the gear unit drained and flushed out with a solvent.

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

8.2.6 Wiping
The melting and wiping away of a spot or area of the babbitt is caused by bearing
temperatures rising above the pour point of the babbitt. Abnormal bearing temperatures may
be caused by:
• insufficient bearing clearances
• insufficient oil pressure
• excessively high oil temperature in the bearing
• a high spot in the bearing
• extreme bearing loading caused by poor bearing contact
• gear mesh failure
If wiping is localized in a small spot, the bearing may be repaired by scraping and polishing
the spot until it blends in with the remainder of the bearing; otherwise, the bearing must be
replaced. Before replacing a wiped bearing, determine and correct the cause of the wipe.

8.3 REPLACEMENT BEARINGS 


Refer to the Parts List drawing and contact LUFKIN if it is determined that bearings need to
be replaced. If new bearings are used, the following precautions should be taken:
1. Remove all nicks and burrs from the housing and bearing shell.
2. Be sure that journals are free of nicks and high spots. These can be removed using a
fine hone and polishing with crocus cloth.
3. Obtain the proper bearing contact as described under "Bearing Contact and Correction".
4. After bearings are fitted and lower halves are installed in housing, check the radial
clearance using feeler gauge or plastic gauge material. Check endplay in both horizontal
directions by barring the shaft axially.

Reassembly 9
9.1 PREPARATION 
NOTE: Any work done on equipment during the warranty period without the written
approval of an authorized LUFKIN representative could void the warranty.
NOTE: This procedure assumes that the gear housing is not moved from its foundation/
support and that the original shaft alignment was correct.
1. Clean all the interior surfaces of the housing, the housing cover, and all components
that will be reused. Parting line surfaces must be clean and smooth; use a spray-on paint
and gasket remover fluid and/or carefully scrape the surfaces if necessary. Corroded
spots can be cleaned by using a fine emery cloth, rubbing shafts in a rotary or

circumferential

2. Check the bearing shells, the parting line, and the housing bores for any burrs or nicks;
remove with a fine file.
3. Put a coat of light oil on all parts to help assembly and to prevent rust during
reassembly.
For the discussion that follows, it is assumed that the entire unit must be reassembled. If the
torque shaft, bearings, or turning gear are already assembled, omit those portions of the
reassembly instructions.

Troubleshooting 10
This section provides troubleshooting tips for high speed gears. For detailed information,
refer to the text following. Table 6 at the end of this section provides an overview. If the
problem cannot be remedied through use of this information, contact LUFKIN.

10.1 ABNORMALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE 


• Oil level too high. If the oil level in a gear box is so high that the gear runs in the oil, then
the resulting churning action will heat the oil. Check the sight gauge while the unit is
running. A full gauge may indicate inadequate drainage.
• Coated housing. If the gear housing should get coated with a foreign material that will
not permit natural heat removal by convection, high temperature may result. To prevent
this, the unit should be cleaned periodically.
• Hot weather. Obviously, a high ambient temperature will cause abnormally high oil
temperature. To prevent this, provide adequate ventilation around the gear.
• Low oil pressure. If the oil flow to the bearings and gear mesh is below normal (indicated
by below normal oil pressure,) the heat created by friction at the mesh and bearings will
cause abnormally high temperatures. To correct this situation, check the lubrication
system for proper operation (see OPERATION, “Lubrication.”) 

10.2 LOW OIL PRESSURE 


• Use of a lubricant which has a viscosity less than that for which the lube system was
designed. There are several orifices in the lube system which are sized for lubricants with
aorifices
particular viscosity.

this normal
canviscosity will pass
be prevented bythrough the
using the
lubricant designated on the name plate of the gear unit. Abnormally low viscosity may
also result from high lubricant temperatures. (See above, “Abnormally High
Temperatures.”)
• Clogged oil filter. Replacing the filter will allow more oil to flow through it, thus
bringing the oil pressure back to normal.
• Pump cavitation. Should the oil level in the reservoir get so low that the pump suction
line sucks both air and oil, then the oil pressure will drop. This problem may be cured by
maintaining proper oil level in the reservoir.
• Air leak in the suction line to the pump. This situation is similar to pump cavitation in
that air gets in the oil and results in low oil pressure. To remedy this problem, check and
tighten all pipe fittings in the suction line.
• Incorrect relief valve setting. Adjusting the relief valve setting properly will avoid
venting the pump discharge line back to the sump.

10.3 UNUSUAL OR EXCESSIVE NOISE 


• Worn parts. One common cause of unusual noise is worn parts. If a part wears enough to
cause slack in the system, the slack may be heard as a rattle or noise of some sort. A
mechanic's stethoscope may be used to pinpoint the worn part which should be replaced.

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance page 29

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 34/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

• Misalignment. A coupling that is out of alignment may also cause noisy operation. The
misaligned coupling causes misalignment in the gear train which then produces noise or
vibrations. The coupling should be immediately realigned before damaging wear occurs.
• Transmitted sound. Occasionally other machinery or equipment may be transmitting
excessive noise. Enclose one or the other or use a sound blanket.

10.4  EXCESSIVE VIBRATION 


• Soft foundation. A foundation that is not sufficiently rigid may cause vibration problems.
To correct this, reinforce the foundation.
• Critical speeds. At certain speeds a rotating shaft will become dynamically unstable and
the resulting vibrations and deflections that occur may cause damage to the gear unit. The
speeds at which the shaft becomes unstable are called critical speeds. They are a function
of the shaft geometry and the type and spacing of the supporting bearings. Contact
LUFKIN if such dynamic instability is suspected. See OPERATION, “Customer Check
After Start-up” for vibration limits.

10.5 NO SENSOR READINGS 


Various sensing devices for temperature and vibration are installed to provide warnings that
can prevent catastrophic failure. If no readings are being received, before disassembling the
unit check for the following:
• No power. Check that the power supply to the devices is on.
• Failed equipment. Check that the monitoring or recording equipment is functioning.
• Worn wires. If the sensor has failed, partial disassembly may be effected to replace the
sensor. Visual inspection of lead wire overbraids are necessary to ensure that moving parts
are not rubbing through the lead wires and causing shorting out. Replace any worn wires
or wire-and-sensor assemblies. See REASSEMBLY, “Resistance Temperature Detectors.”

TURNING GEAR DRIVE PACKAGE 

The TURNING GEAR DRIVE PACKAGE, illustrated on the enclosed assembly drawing, consists
of an electric motor driving through a worm gear reducer connected to an overrunning clutch encased
in an oil tight housing.

The mounting interface, supplied by others, conforms to the bolt circle and spigot diameter of the
TURNING GEAR DRIVE PACKAGE  housing. Connection of the TURNING GEAR DRIVE
PACKAGE is made to the high speed shaft of the load gear through a spigot mount on the shaft end.
The high speed shaft end is connected to an SSS (synchro-self-shifting) overrunning clutch for
automatic engagement/disengagement. This clutch is a positive tooth type overrunning clutch which is
self-engaging in the turning mode and overruns whenever the connected shaft exceeds the TURNING
GEAR DRIVE PACKAGE  speed. The input flanged hub to the overrunning clutch is mounted on
the output shaft of the worm gear reducer.

The input shaft of the worm gear reducer is to be connected to an electric motor by means of a resilient
coupling.

In the event of power failure or during maintenance procedures, a means for manual turning is

 provided through a 1-1/8" hex drive located in fan cover on primary worm gear shaft.

CAUTION
BEFORE ATTEMPTING MANUAL OPERATION,
MAIN A.C. MOTOR BREAKER MUST BE DISCONNECTED AND
TAGGED IN ORDER TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURY.

Lubrication for the clutch is continuously supplied from the main plant lube oil system through a 1/2"

 NPT female pipe connection on the worm gear reducer output shaft cover. Oil is drained from the
clutch housing into the load gear housing for return of the oil to the plant lube oil tank.

Oil for the worm gear reducer is self-contained, refer to instructional booklet for proper lubricant.

LUBRICATION

1. CLUTCH:  The clutch requires a continuous flow of oil, 1.0 gpm at 15-18 psi, at all times. Oil is
supplied to the clutch from the main oil system through a ½" NPT port on the worm gear reducer
output shaft cover.

2. REDUCER:  Oil for the reducer is self contained and the recommended lubricant is Mobil SHC
634. Recommended alternate lubricants are listed in the reducer portion of this booklet.

3. MOTOR: The motor bearings are shipped grease-packed. Regreasing procedures are listed in the
motor portion of this booklet.

INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE

1.  Once the TURNING GEAR DRIVE PACKAGE is installed and prepared for operation, it should
 be initially operated manually to ensure that breakaway of the turbine train is possible without
exceeding the torque capability of the Turning Gear.

2.  Insert a torque wrench onto the 1-1/8” hex drive on the non-drive end of the worm gear input shaft.
Rotate in the CW direction. Once the SSS clutch is engaged, continue to apply torque through the
Turning Gear until turbine shaft breakaway is achieved.

WARNING
BEFORE ATTEMPTING MANUAL OPERATION, TURNING GEAR MOTOR BREAKER
MUST BE DISCONNECTED AND TAGGED TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURY

CAUTION
DO NOT EXCEED 450 FT-LB OF TORQUE ON THE MANUAL TURNING ADAPTER OR
DAMAGE TO THE TURNING GEAR COMPONENTS COULD RESULT.

3.  Once breakaway is achieved, rotate the manual turning in the CCW direction for approximately 1
turn to fully disengage the clutch.

4.  The TURNING GEAR DRIVE PACKAGE is now ready for normal operation.

ENGINEERING INC

DELROYD SPEED REDUCERS


LONG TERM STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Problems can start to develop through improper standby and storage of new worm gear 
reducers awaiting installation or operation. Ambient conditions during long, idle periods
will determine necessary measures.

To avoid rust and deterioration of seals:

1.  Replace breathers with pipe plugs, wiring the breathers to the unit to prevent loss.

2.  Fill the reducer with recommended lubricant to the proper level and operate once a
month for a few minutes, or completely fill the unit, or use desiccants or vapor phase
inhibitors.

3.  Cover the reducer with a tarpaulin or plastic cover, leaving openings underneath for 
ventilation. A heavy, skidded platform with an internally lined wooden box may also
 be required when storage is in highly humid or seaside areas.

4.  Periodically drain any accumulated water from the bottom of the oil reservoir and
replace desiccants or vapor phase inhibitors.

Occasionally an idle reducer undergoes severe vibration from adjacent operating


machinery. Even if the bearings are subjected to only partial load, vibrations can exclude
residual oil or grease from under bearings rollers or balls and result in false brinelling.

Immediate failure of the bearing is not a result, but once the bearing is put in operation
these pit marks act as stress risers. The fatigue life of the bearing can be reduced to a
fraction of the calculated design life.

False brinelling can usually be prevented by filling the reducer with oil to cover the
 bearings completely. This maintains a supply of oil at the contact points of the balls or 
rollers even under conditions of vibration.

INSTALLATION
Proper installation is essential for efficient, economical operation and long life. The unit is built for 
 proper operation in the mounting position ordered. Tilted or different mounting positions may require
factory installed lubrication provisions. Avoid heavy hammer blows when mounting couplings as this
may damage the bearings or spring the shafts. When tight fits are used, the coupling half should be
heated in oil to expand the bore. When speed reducers are used as standby equipment, operate them

about once awill

LUBRICATION

This turning gear reducer is shipped from the Delroyd Worm Gear factory without oil.  Before
operating the reducer, fill to the oil level specified on the reducer outline dimension drawing included
with these instructions. Be sure to allow time for the oil to fill all parts of the reducer housing and to
reach a stable level. For extreme temperature changes Delroyd Worm Gear recommends MOBIL SHC
634 synthetic oil for use in this reducer. This oil allows use at ambient temperatures of -30 to 140°F (-
34 to 54° C) and is an ISO 460 grade PAO base synthetic oil. The improved thermal and oxidation
stability of this oil means that oil change intervals can be extended to every 8500 hours or more if an oil
analysis determines that contamination or oxidation has not occurred. Alternative petroleum base
lubricants listed below may be used.

Due to the nature of worm gear sliding and rolling action, the above lubricants must be used for worm
gearing. Suppliers of industrial lubricants, not service stations, should be contacted to supply suitable
lubricants to meet the above AGMA specifications.

BASIC TYPE OF OIL MEETING AGMA SPECIFICATIONS LISTED

AGMA 8 Comp. - compounded cylinder oil with acidless tallow additives. Approximately 150 SSU

AGMA 3 EP - mild  EP oil containing lead napthanate additives. Approx. 53 SSU viscosity @ 210°F.

The following lubricants should never be used for this type reducer:

1. Ordinary motor oils, no matter what viscosity.


2. Automotive rear-end oils.

3. Greases of any kind.

4. EP oils. Some suppliers may suggest oils with “inactive” sulfur-phosphorous additives instead of 
the cylinder oils specified here. We do not recommend their use, except in cold weather operation
as described above.

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 73/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

Between oil changes:

Check oil level periodically when unit is stopped and add oil if necessary. Check that the breather is
not clogged. Units in intermittent service, indoors or outdoors, should be checked for water 
contaminated lubricant on a monthly schedule as follows:

1. With reducer off, first let the gear box cool to ambient temperature.
2. Loosen bottom drain plug and drain some lubricant into a small container.

3. Examine for water or discolored (creamy appearing) lubricant. If present, drain until
uncontaminated oil flows out.

4. Refill with recommended lubricant, as required.

If the unit will be idle for any extended time, particularly out-of-doors, rusting of the bearings, gears,
and other internal parts must be prevented. We suggest filling the complete reducer with oil which
contains a soluble vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor, (such as SHELL VSI circulation oil). Replace the
 breather with proper size pipe plug, attach breather to unit for future reinstallation. When the unit is
returned to service, drain oil and refill with recommended lubricant to proper level. Install breather.

Grease Lubricated Bearings:

If the unit is equipped with grease lubricated upper bearing then the grease lubricant will need to be
maintained. Bearings are packed with NLGI Grade 2 lithium based grease at the factory before
shipping. When servicing greased bearings make sure that the fittings are clean and unplugged. Using a
manual grease gun, pump 10 to 15 strokes into the grease fitting once per year for normal service. If the
reducer is run continuously 24 hrs/day for 6 months or more then we recommend greasing the bearings
once every 6 months. We do not recommend using a pneumatic or automatic powered grease gun since
high pressure could damage the shaft seal and/or grease retainer.

OPERATION

Make certain that the reducer is filled with oil before starting, see lubrication instructions. Although
the unit has been tested under no-load at the factory, it takes additional hours of running to attain the
highest efficiency. If necessary, full load can be applied immediately, but it is better for the ultimate life
of the gear to operate the unit initially at one-half load for 20-30 hours and three-quarters load for 20-30
hours, if possible. During the first few minutes of operation, the reducer efficiency will be low due to
churning of heavy cold oil. On this initial run, oil temperatures will stabilize at a higher level, efficiency
will be lower, and gear noise will be greater than after the gear run-in. Successful operation of worm
gearing depends on the ability of the bronze gear to conform to the hardened steel worm. Some initial
wear and/or pitting is therefore necessary on the gear tooth to allow the contact to spread across the full
face of the gear.

Once through the run-in period, the oil temperature rise, noise level, wear and pitting will stabilize and
your Delroyd Worm Gear reducer will be operating at peak efficiency. At this point, the oil temperature

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 74/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

in the gear box if operated continuously should stabilize at a maximum of 100°F above the surrounding
air temperature when transmitting catalog thermal rating. For example, if the air temperature is 70°F,
the oil temperature below the oil level may be 150-160°F, so the unit could be very hot to the touch but
still be operating normally. Therefore, to minimize maintenance problems, it is important during
operation to:

1. Keep surrounding air temperature as low as possible.


2. Shield reducer from external sources of heat such as furnaces or other machinery.

3. Prevent direct exposure to sunlight unless unit is painted with reflective paints.

4. Allow movement of artificial or natural air drafts.

5. If the unit is supplied with a fan, keep fan operating and fan inlet unobstructed.

6. Keep outside surfaces of the gear box housing free of dust and dirt if possible.

Keeping operating oil temperatures as low as possible will also aid in preventing excessive seal
replacements.

Lip type oil seals are used on both shafts. The high speed shaft seal has a dust excluding second lip.
During initial operation, these seals may heat the shaft considerably and tend to leak slightly until the
sealing lip is run-in and properly seated on the shaft. Even after run-in, some seepage of oil through the
seal is necessary for proper lubrication of the lip.

If the unit is subjected to chemicals or abrasives not compatible with the seal, it is important to
 provide guards where possible to prevent accumulations at the seal area. To prevent oil leakage, the
 breather should be checked periodically to be sure it is not clogged and producing internal pressure
 build-up.

LONG TERM STORAGE

Problems can start to develop through improper standby and storage of new worm gear reducers
awaiting installation or operation. Ambient conditions during long, idle periods will determine
necessary measures.

To avoid rust and deterioration of seals:

1. Replace breathers with pipe plugs, wiring the breathers to the unit to prevent loss.

2. Fill the reducer with recommended lubricant to the proper level and operate once a month for a
few minutes, or completely fill the unit, or use desiccants or vapor phase inhibitors.

3. Cover the reducer with a tarpaulin or plastic cover, leaving openings underneath for ventilation.
A heavy, skidded platform with an internally lined wooden box may also be required when storage is
in high humidity or seaside areas.

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 75/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

4. Periodically drain any accumulated water from the bottom of the oil reservoir and replace any
desiccants or vapor phase inhibitors.

Occasionally an idle reducer undergoes severe vibration from adjacent operating machinery. Even if 
the bearings are subjected to only partial load, vibrations can exclude residual oil or grease from under 

 bearing rollers or balls and result in false Brinelling.


Immediate failure of the bearing is not a result, but once the bearing is put in operation these pit
marks act as stress risers. The fatigue life of the bearing can be reduced to a fraction of the calculated
design life.

False brinelling can usually be prevented by filling the reducer with oil to cover the bearings
completely. This maintains a supply of oil at the contact points of the balls or rollers even under 
conditions of vibration.

MAINTENANCE

If the reducer is to be over-hauled, refer to the outline dimension drawing, parts list, and parts
drawing included with these instructions. The model, serial #, and ratio should be obtained from the
reducer nameplate and the necessary spare parts ordered from the factory.

NOTE: When assembling and disassembling the reducer be sure to refer to the corresponding
drawings included with this instruction manual. Numbers in parenthesis reference the part
on the assembly drawing.  Due to the special nature of the reducer, the assembly drawing
may differ slightly from the actual reducer.

Disassembly:  (Refer to assembly drawing )


Remove the entire reducer assembly from the driven machine. Drain all oil from the reducer.
Remove motor, and couplings from input worm shaft. There are access holes in the motor adapter to
allow access to the coupling setscrews. Remove coupling or clutch from output shaft. Note: Be sure to
clean, save and record placement of all shims during disassembly to help with the reassemble process.

Place the reducer at the work site in an upside down position from it’s normal mounting position.
Worm under gear. After match marking, remove bolts and two gear shaft covers and large top cover.
Refer to parts drawings included with these instructions. Lift out the bronze wormgear assembly with its
shaft and two bearings. If necessary remove backstop clutch assembly as shown on partial assembly
drawing. Next , remove the adjacent thrust bearing retainer. By tapping on the end of the worm shaft
inside the motor adapter, push the worm shaft along its axis until its bearings are loose enough so that it
can be removed from the housing. The worm bearings can then be pressed off the worm from the
housing. The worm bearings can then be pressed off the worm shaft. Similarly, the low speed shaft
 bearings can be pressed off the shaft. The bronze worm gear is a heavy press fit on the shaft and a
hydraulic press should be used as follows:

5-10 ton - size 35-50 reducers


10-20 ton - size 60-70 reducers
20-50 ton - size 80-120 reducers

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 76/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

A torch should be used to heat the bronze starting at the outside diameter and ending at the gear hub,
to expand the gear slightly while pressing the shaft in the hydraulic press. The low speed shaft and
worm shaft bearings can be heated in 280°F maximum oil and assembled or pressed on in a press. If 
heated, the bearings should be allowed to cool and then checked to be sure they are tight against the
 bearing shoulder or bearing spacers.

Reassembly: (Refer to assembly drawing)

The reassembly procedure used affects the life expectancy of all rotating parts as well as the
quietness of operation. The important procedures are the establishment of the correct axial bearing end
 play on the worm shafts and gear shaft, with proper contact between worms and gears. Be sure to
thoroughly clean all mating surfaces before reinstallation.

The following steps should be followed:

1. Install all new bearings/inner races onto the shafts with the proper shims/grease retainers/spacers
with the same configuration as when disassembled. Be sure bearings are fully seated against
corresponding shoulders. Bearings can be heated in 280° oil bath or bearing heater and pressed on.

WARNING: Make sure the thrust bearing is installed with the proper cone and cup arrangement. The
cone and cup marked with an etched “A” should be paired together as well as the cone
and cup without an etched “A”. Failure to do so will result in improper end play.

2. Coat worm threads with soft Prussian Blue and install into housing from side opposite the
coupling extension. Be sure to gently guide the bearings into their bores. Make sure the bearings
are fully seated against their shoulders.

3. Install bulge cover (6) with gasket onto housing. Do not use silicone sealant on this gasket and
cover.

4. Drop gear shaft assembly (gear shaft, gear, spacers, and bearings into upper housing half.

5. Install covers onto upper half of housing using the same shims from disassembly and only three
 bolts at this time.

6. The end play of the output shaft should now be checked and set. To do this place dial indicator 
on the housing at a location where the tip of the indicator can contact the end of the output shaft.
Push on the end of the output shaft while rotating back and forth slightly to seat the bearings in that

direction. Now set the indicator reading to zero. Without disturbing the indicator pull and rotate
slightly back and forth the shaft. The maximum indicator reading is the end play. Add or delete
shims from either side until the end play is .001" to .002".

7. Rotate the bronze gear until the contact pattern can be seen. Referring to the page in these
instructions titled “Tooth Contact Instructions” adjust until the proper contact is obtained. The
contact is adjusted by adding or removing shims from under the covers. The total amount of 
combined shims on both sides must remain the same in order to maintain the proper end play.
Therefore adding .005" shims on one side would require deleting .005" shims on the opposite side.

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 77/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

This would shift the contact pattern to the side the shims were deleted from.  Shim sizes are as
follows:

Yellow shims are .020" thick 


Blue shims (one side) are .005" thick 
Aluminum shims (both sides) are .0075" thick 

If using new gearing follow the “Tooth Contact Instructions” by setting up for “leaving side contact”
relative to the direction of rotation. If however the existing gearing is being used the contact should
 be set to show a full sweep across the face with a “entering side” gap for oil flow.

8. Remove covers being sure to save shims and record their position.

9. Place silicone sealant on mating surface of upper housing half and install lower half onto upper 
half. Install bolts and flip unit over to its normal mounted position.

10. Reinstall covers placing silicone sealant onto mating surfaces as well as around each bolt circle
and around the inside diameter of the shims.

11. Insert primary worm shaft bearings (42) completely into bores. Install bulge cover onto housing
with .032" thick shims (26) as a starting point.

12. The end play of the primary worm shaft must now be checked. To do this place a dial indicator 
onto the housing in a convenient location so that the tip of the indicator contacts the input end of the
worm shaft. Slightly push and rotate the worm shaft back and forth from the input end, being careful
not to touch the dial indicator. Now set the indicator display to zero. Slightly pull and rotate the
worm shaft back and forth being careful not to touch the indicator. The maximum indicator reading
is the end play. Adding shims will increase the end play and deleting shims will decrease the end
 play by the amount added or deleted. Adjust end play until indicator reads .003" to .007".

13. The next step is to install the shaft seals. Before doing so the shaft surfaces where the seals will
rub should be carefully inspected for damage. If the shaft is even lightly scratched where the seal lip
rubs, a “Speedi-Sleeve” should be purchased and installed. Obtain the size “Speedi-Sleeve” suitable
for use with the seal numbers given in the parts list. If the shaft is only slightly grooved, a new seal
can be recessed in its cover by 1/16" to 1/8" so that the seal lip will rub on an undamaged part of the
shaft. Before putting the seal on the shaft, apply friction or “Scotch” tape over the full length of the
keyway. The lip should be coated with a small amount of grease before assembly on the shaft. The
metal outside diameter of the seal is a press fit in its cover but, before it is started in its bore, RTV
silicone sealant should be applied around the circumference to prevent leakage. Using a suitable
size pipe or tubing against the seal, the seal may be pressed or driven into position. Be careful to
keep seal square with shaft and avoid striking seal directly since surface could be bent or damaged.

14. Install low speed shaft seal into cover bore being careful not to rub against key slot..

15. Install worm shaft seal being careful not to rub against key slot.

16. Install, with pipe sealant, all pipe plugs.

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 78/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

17. Rotate the worm shaft by hand to be sure there is backlash (no binding) between worms and
gears.

18. Install backstop assembly per partial assembly drawing and outline drawing. Be careful to orient
 backstop clutch to allow rotation as shown on outline drawing.

19. Install motor adapter and coupling. Set coupling to dimension as shown on outline drawing.

20. Fill reducer with proper lubricant to level shown on outline drawing before running.

TOOTH CONTACT INSTRUCTIONS

Worm gears are produced to allow for deflection and provide an entry gap on the “entering side” of 
the gear tooth. In order to obtain this condition the tooth contact should be set up so that there is
“leaving side” contact on the driving face of the gear tooth as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

The contact should be checked after the worm and gear have been installed with Prussian Blue
coating on the worm threads. Turn worm shaft by hand and observe contact pattern on gear teeth.
Interchanging secondary gear shaft shims from one end to the other will shift position of contact and
move gear to right or left of worm (entering or leaving side) as required. Shims should not be added or 
deleted after axial end play is established, but may be shifted from one side to the other.

Primary gear contact is adjusted by adding or deleting shims located at primary gear hub on
secondary worm shaft and at other end of secondary worm shaft.

With the contact on the “leaving side” of the gear tooth, as the worm deflects under load, contact
moves toward the center of gear but still maintains some gap for lubricant to enter on the “entering
side”.

When assembling a worm gear which operates in both directions of rotation, it is necessary to
consider both driving faces of gear teeth and aim at contact as shown in Figure 2. Note that both faces
of gear teeth have a “leaving side” contact relative to the corresponding direction of rotation.

Figure 2
Lip Seal Inspection/Discussion
The careful inspection of lip seals on your worm gear reducer can help to identify problems within the
unit. Following are some examples of problems that can be identified by careful inspection of lip seals.

1. Changes in pressure will effect the way the lip seal seats onto the shaft.
a. Externally applied pressure will lift the lip off of the shaft slightly, allowing inward leakage of 
oil from one side to the other. If the oil is clean, no damage will occur. A drop in pressure will
allow the garter spring and lip to return to normal position. Lip seals typically do not resist
external pressure.
 b. Internal pressure (from inside the reducer) will push the lip down tighter onto the shaft. Higher 
internal pressure will typically result in the entire seal sliding outward. In extreme cases, the
seal can slide completely out of the bore in the cover that it was pressed into.
2. If improperly installed, the seal can get caught while attempting to slide it over a shoulder or 
chamfer on the shaft. If the lip is turned under, this is a sign that the seal was installed improperly
and not a result of high pressure. The seal will leak under these conditions and must be replaced.
Visible inspection of the outboard side of a good seal should show the outer lip very close to or 
touching the shaft uniformly and evenly all the way around. A turned under lip will usually bulge
out, lifting the outer lip locally part of the way around the shaft.

Replacement of Mechanical Seal Assembly

For all units refer to the generic Mechanical Seal Assembly Drawing included in this manual. The
following procedure should be used as a guide to replace the mechanical seal assembly on the closed
end of the output shaft of your worm gear reducer:

1. Drain the oil from the reducer to a level below the output shaft bearings.

2. Remove any plumbing attached to the seal plate.

3. Remove the fasteners, lock washers, and seal plate from the reducer. The mechanical seal is pressed
into the seal plate and comes off with the seal plate when it is removed. Inspect the area of the
reducer around the now exposed end of the output shaft to insure that no pieces of the mechanical
seal have remained on the shaft, or fallen into the reducer. If so, remove them.

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

4. Remove the shims between the seal plate and the bearing retainer. If the shims are not damaged
during disassembly they may be re-used. If the shims are damaged, remove any remnants from the
 bearing retainer and make a note of the stack-up. Shims are color coded for size. The shim that is
 blue on one side is 0.005” thick and the shim that is silver on both sides is 0.007” thick.

5. Clean the mating surfaces of the new seal plate and bearing retainer. Replace the shim pack with

reused or new
dimension shims.onUsing
indicated a depthOutline
the reducer micrometer, verify

Adjust the shimsLength At Assembly”
to achieve the proper 
dimension with a tolerance of ! 0.003”. Apply a small bead of RTV sealant to the seal plate at the
inside corner just inside the bolt circle. Slide the replacement seal plate assembly with seal straight
inwards over the studs and against the shims. Tighten the nuts evenly all around. Once the seal is in
 place, look through the oil supply port and verify that the seal is seated evenly against its locating
shoulder. This can be done by looking all the way around the end of the output shaft and making
sure the seal is even all the way around. Replace the plumbing and refill the reducer with oil to the
 proper level.

Before first starting the reducer

1. Disconnect the reducer from its driving motor and check motor rotation. Reverse motor rotation

if necessary and reconnect the reducer.


2. Rotate the motor and reducer by hand to be sure all components turn freely.

3. Replace all safety guards.

4. Review reducer operating instructions, lubrication schedules, and maintenance schedules.

5. Review motor manufacturer’s operating instructions.

Fan precautions

Most Delroyd Worm Gear reducers are equipped with a fan for cooling the reducer. This fan is guarded,
 but must have inlet and outlet air openings to provide the necessary air movement. To avoid severe
 bodily injury or property damage:

1. Do not remove the fan guard or insert fingers or other objects into the air openings when the
reducer is operating.

2. Shut down and lock out the motor driving the reducer before the fan or fan guard is removed or 
in any way adjusted.

Inspections

As with all mechanical equipment, a program of regular inspection is important to prolong equipment
life and to safeguard people and property.

1. Periodic inspection of the reducer must be made every 2,000 hours of operation or every six
months, whichever comes first.

2. The above inspection must also be conducted after each time the reducer has been subjected to
any overload, or stall condition or loss of lubricant.

3. Reducer parts that are damaged or worn, or the presence of contaminants (such as water, dirt,
 bronze or steel particles) in drainage oil could indicate impending failure. An increase in noise, a
drastic increase in backlash, an increase in motor HP required, or other erratic behavior of the
reducer could indicate impending failure.

4. If any of the above conditions are observed, the reducer should be immediately taken out of 
service until the cause of the condition is determined and corrections made.

Maintenance of Delroyd Worm Gear reducers

1. Care should be exercised when draining oil during lubricant replacement. Oil temperatures of 
180°F to 200°F can normally be expected and severe burns could result if oil contacts personnel or 
their clothing.

2. Before beginning removal or disassembly of any part of your Delroyd Worm Gear reducer for 
maintenance or inspection, lock out the driving motor control panel to prevent inadvertent starting
and disconnect the driven load.

3. Repairs can be done by Delroyd Worm Gear using factory stocked or manufactured parts if the
reducer can be returned to our plant in Niagara Falls, NY. If repairs are done elsewhere, all
instruction book adjustments must be followed and Delroyd Worm Gear manufactured parts must be
used.

4. The motor manufacturer’s instructions should be followed carefully in performing motor 


maintenance.

SIZE 44T SSS CLUTCH FOR


TURNING GEAR DRIVE

Section 1. INTRODUCTION

The SSS (synchro-self-shifting) clutch is a fully auto


matic, free-wheel device which transmits power through gear
tooth elements.

Clutch engagement is initiated at the instant the speed of


the input shaft tends to overtake that of the output, by a

pawl-actuated
driven helical
teeth into sliding
smooth mechanism
and positive to bring driving and
mesh.

The clutch disengages automatically as the torque reverses


when the speed of the clutch output increases relative to the
input.

There is no possibility of the teeth clashing while being


engaged, or of the drive being taken up before the teeth are
engaged over their full face width.

The SSS clutch is installed between the turning gear motor


and the driven machinery and provides a simple mechanical
means of automatically engaging the turning gear drive.

If the complete machinery is stationary, the clutch will


engage immediately the turning gear motor is started and will
disengage automatically when the speed of the driven machin-
ery exceeds that of the turning gear.

The clutch also permits the turning gear to be started while


the automatically engage to take over the drive when the
speed of the driven machinery reduces to that of the turning
gear.

The SSS Clutch is lubricated by a central oil feed into the


clutch.

Please note that central oil feed lubrication is suitable for


clutch input speeds of up to 220 rpm. For input speeds above
220 rpm, SSS must be consulted.

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

Section 2. CONSTRUCTION

The design of the Size 44T SSS turning gear clutch is shown
on Drawing No. SM.17557. It comprises three main assemblies.....

AN INPUT ASSEMBLY comprising a helically splined


input shaft (1) with external helical splines which
locate the sliding assembly (2). The input shaft is
bolted to the geared drive from the turning gear motor.

A SLIDING ASSEMBLY comprising a helical sliding compo-


nent(2) which has external clutch teeth and external
ratchet teeth.

AN OUTPUT ASSEMBLY comprising an output clutch ring


(3) having internal clutch teeth which engage with
external clutch teeth of the helical sliding component
(2) to transmit the drive from the turning gear motor to
the driven machinery. The output clutch ring (3) car
ries two pawls (6) and is bolted to the drive coupling
of the driven machinery.

Section 3. OPERATION

The SSS clutch is designed for a maximum input speed from the
turning gear drive of 220 rpm which must not be exceeded. For
input speeds above 220 rpm, SSS must be consulted.

To meet the operational requirements of the turning gear


drive, the SSS clutch will.....

Automatically engage at rest as the turning gear motor


commences to rotate the stationary machinery.

Automatically disengage at speed when the driven machin-


ery is started and accelerates above turning gear speed.

Automatically re-engage at speed at the instant the


speed of the decelerating driven machinery equals that
of the turning gear drive. The turning gear motor may
be started during the driven machinery shut-down
sequence in readiness for clutch re-engagement.

Briefly, the sequence of SSS clutch movements which precisely


achieve the above operating conditions, are as follows.....

3.1. Engagement of Clutch from Rest

With the shaft system stationary, initial rotation of the


turning gear motor turns the clutch input assembly. As this

- 2 -

http://slide pdf.c om/re a de r/full/lufkin-ge a rbox 115/163


 

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

occurs, the pawls (6) contact the ratchet teeth on the heli-
cal sliding component (2) thus precisely aligning the clutch
teeth.

As the input shaft continues to rotate, the sliding assembly


moves axially on helical splines and the clutch teeth pass
smoothly into mesh. Torque is then transmitted to the driven
machinery. During the latter part of the engaging action the
pawls are unloaded; therefore the only load on the pawls is
that required to shift the helical sliding component (2).

The final part of the engaging travel is cushioned by the


action of an oil-fed dashpot formed by the annular space

between the helical sliding component (2) and the input shaft
(1).

3.2. Disengagement of Clutch at Speed

As the driven machinery is started and its rotational speed


overtakes that of the turning gear drive, torque reversal on
the helical splines moves the helical sliding component (2)
axially to the disengaged position.

As the main machinery accelerates, centrifugal force acts on


the pawls (6), causing them to retract, thus preventing
ratcheting occurring while the clutch is overrunning. The
turning gear motor can be shut-down at any time.

3.3. Re-engagement of Clutch at Speed

Automatic clutch re-engagement occurs after the turning gear


motor has been re-started and when the speed of decelerating
driven machinery equals that of the turning gear motor.

When the speed of the input drive to the SSS Clutch equals
that of the rotating output, the pawls (6) contact the
ratchet teeth on the helical sliding component (2) and the
clutch engages as described in Section 3.1.

With the clutch re-engaged, the turning gear motor continues


to rotate the machinery at turning gear speed.

Section 4. INSTALLATION

4.1. Identification

The specific SSS Clutch for which this Manual is issued is


shown on the Front Cover.

4.1.1. Each clutch is marked with its own individual ‘four-figure’


serial number, which is preceded by the letter ‘R’. This
serial number is marked on the outside diameter of the clutch
input and output components as shown below.....

CLUTCH SERIAL No. R. * * * *

4.1.2. The SSS clutch input flange/component outside diameter is


marked with an arrow indicating direction of rotation and the
word INPUT as below.....

DIRECTION OF

INPUT
ROTATION

4.2. Alignment

4.2.1 The SSS Clutch is capable of engaging with a misalignment


between its input and output parts of 0.4 mm Maximum. It may
be necessary for the diving and driven shafts to be deliber-
ately misaligned when stationary, to ensure this limitation
is not exceeded when the shafts are rotating. For details of
the initial alignment, reference should be made to instruc-
tions provided by the turning gear manufacturer.

4.2.2. The variation in overall clutch length between 186.5 mm Maxi-


mum to 182.0 mm Minimum must not be exceeded under any oper-
ating conditions; therefore allowances must be made for axial
thermal growth of the shaft system, thrust bearing clearances
etc.

For the initial cold setting of the clutch length, reference


should be made to instructions provided by the turning gear
manufacturer.

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

4.3. Installation

Either of the following installation procedures can be used,


but in each case, the alignment tolerances given in Section
4.2.1. must be achieved.

NOTE For transit, the output clutch ring has been reversed, placed
on the helical splines of the input shaft and bolted, with
RED packing pieces under the switch ring face, to the input
shaft flange face with two bolts which are also painted RED.
Before installation, remove the output clutch ring from the
input shaft.

4.3.1. Installation as a Complete Unit


In this case, the clutch is installed between the driving and
driven flanges as a completely built-up unit as shown on
Drawing No. SM.17557.

It should be noted that the clutch can be compressed to clear


the locating diameters as it is inserted into the flange gap.
Also align numbered holes between interface flanges before
bolting flanges together.

4.3.2. Axial Assembly

This method is used when the construction of the clutch hous-


ing does not allow installation as a complete unit.
The procedure is as follows.....

1. Having removed the output clutch ring (3) from the input
shaft (1), align numbered holes in the flange of the output
clutch ring (3) with the flange of driven machine, and bolt
flanges together.

2. If necessary at this stage, bolt the remainder of the SSS


Clutch to the turning gear output flange, aligning numbered
interface holes.

3. Insert the input shaft/sliding component sub-assembly


into the bore of the output clutch ring, taking extreme care
as the clutch teeth pass under the pawls and enter mesh with
teeth in the output clutch ring. If necessary, the main
machine may be rotated in a forward direction or the turning
gear in a reverse direction, to align the teeth.

4.4. Lubrication

It is most important that the SSS Clutch receives an adequate


supply of filtered lubricating oil all the time the clutch
output components are rotating.

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

Oil from the machinery lubricating system should be supplied


to the clutch at the minimum flow rate of 1 US gallon/minute
as stated on Drawing No. SM.17557, passing into the clutch
through a central oilway in the input shaft (1) as shown on
the drawing.

Section 5. MAINTENANCE

The SSS clutch requires very little maintenance and need only
be fully inspected during each major overhaul of the main
machinery.

The correct angular position of certain components is most


important and the following Section 5.1. on Match Marking
should be carefully studied before any maintenance procedure
is carried out. Where necessary, mating parts should marked
before separation to ensure they are replaced in their cor-
rect angular positions.

5.1. Match Markingg of Components


Where the angular position of one component relative to an-
other is critical, this relationship is marked, with the
letter ‘X’.

The following match marks are used throughout the clutch.....

5.1.1 Bolted connections: These are marked with an 'X', or with


numbers for input and output flange connections where a jig
has been supplied to machine the holes on the interface
flanges.

5.1.2 Splined connections:


Two external splines
and one internal
spline are marked X X   X
with an 'X' and an
arrow to form an in-
terlocking row of
three 'X's' thus....

5.1.3. Pawls: To ensure correct assembly particularly of replace-


ments, pawls and adjacent surfaces are marked with arrows as
shown.....

5.2. Examination

The clutch may be removed from the turning gear drive by


following in reverse order, the installation procedure de-
scribed in Section 4.3.

Dismantle the clutch as follows.....

5.2.1 Referring to the pictorial view of the SSS Clutch on Drawing


No. TI.100, carefully withdraw the clutch input assembly, and
with it the helical sliding component (2) from the output
assembly taking care not to damage pawls (6) and ratchet
teeth as they pass through mesh.

5.2.2. Remove four socket cap screws (11) and stop cap (4). Withdraw
the helical sliding component (2) from the shaft, noting
match marks between splines for correct re-assembly.

5.2.3 Before removing the pawls (6) from the output clutch ring
(3), the load exerted by the pawl springs (7) should be
checked. The spring are correctly set if a radial load, of
115 grammes (4.0 ozs) applied at each pawl tip, will just
fully depress the pawls.

5.2.4 Remove two socket set screws (12) and separate the pawl pivot
pins (8), pawls (6) and pawl springs (7) from the output
clutch ring (3).

5.2.5 Examine the pivot pins and bore of the pawls for signs of
excessive wear and/or fretting. The pawl tips and the ratchet
teeth on the helical sliding component with which they en-
gage, should be examined for signs of chipping. Renew parts
as necessary. The pawl springs (7) should be replaced when-
ever the pawls are replaced, or independently if wear or
distortion dictates.

5.2.6 Examine all ratchet teeth, clutch teeth and helical splines,
sliding surfaces and end faces for signs of excessive wear or
chipping.

5/24/2018 Lufkin Ge a rbox - slide pdf.c om

5.3. Assembly

Clutch assembly must be carried out in a clean place and all


components must be thoroughly cleaned before assembly. Use
only clean ‘lint-free’ rags to wipe the parts - cotton waste
is entirely unsuitable. All mating faces should be examined
to ensure that there are no burrs.

During assembly, all components should be lightly oiled


toprevent rusting and all sliding components checked for
freedom of movement.

In general, assembly is a straight forward reversal of the

various
There dismantling
are procedures
however, several described
points in Section
which should 5.2.
be observed.

5.3.1. When assembling the clutch, carefully observe that match


marked components have been correctly assembled. Also
check that the pawls are facing in the correct direction
(see Part Section ‘A-A’ of Drawing No. SM.17557 and Sec
tion 5.1. of this Manual) and that the pawls move freely
in their grooves.

5.3.2. The majority of screws used for the clutch, incorporate


a nylon patch in the thread to lock the screw. It is
recommended that the screws are replaced if removed more
than three times. If new screws with this feature are
not available, ‘Loctite Screwlock’ can be used as a
substitute but great care should be exercised to ensure
Loctite does not enter the clutch elsewhere.

5.3.3. Re-install the clutch assembly as described in Section


4.3. and check that the correct oil supply is provided
and that the clutch engages and disengages satisfacto-
rily by manual operation of the turning gear.

If the clutch is not installed immediately after re-assembly,


it should be covered to prevent entry of dust or grit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Safeset torque-limiting coupling has a hydraulic torque setting


system. By adjusting the hydraulic pressure the release torque can be
set to the required level.

When the pre-set torque is exceeded, the Safeset coupling slips and the top
of the shear tube is sheared off by the shear ring, releasing the oil pressure in
the coupling. This happens within a few milliseconds. After release the
coupling will run freely on the shaft. 

How to handle the coupling after release is described in the following


pages. 

The Safeset coupling is intended for transmission and limiting of torque.

Due to its design it has a limited ability to take up other types of loads, as
bending torque and radial loads. This must be take into account when
installing the Safeset coupling.

At installation it must also be observed that the Safeset coupling has no


possibility to take up alignment faults. In case such faults exist the Safeset
coupling must be installed in combination with another coupling, which can
take up these faults.

The combination must not lead to reaction forces such as loads or bending
torque on the Safeset coupling.

If the drive line where the SAFESET coupling is installed is not continuously
supervised a monitoring system discovering the release of the SAFESET
coupling must be installed.
This system will prevent that the SAFESET coupling rotates freely during a
longer period of time.

Transport locking

•   This SAFESET-coupling is pressurised at the delivery to prevent the coupling from


rotating during the transport. A warning label is located close to the sheartube. 

CAUTION!  
Coupling is pressurised to
20-35 MPa for transport only!

•   Lowering the pressure:


Connect the pump to the filling connection on the SAFESET-coupling.

Open the unloading valve on the pump.

Loosen the sheartube ½ turn until the oil is evacuated into the pump.

Tighten the sheartube when the pressure has dropped to 0 MPa.

Disconnect the pump.

Safety regulations

•   Protection glasses must be worn during pressure-


setting and handling of a SAFESET coupling which is under
pressure.

•   Do not pressurise the SAFESET coupling before installation.

•   At pressure setting and pressure release the shear tube or the


valve must be tightened before removing the pump.

•   When the SAFESET coupling releases, parts from the shear tube
and oil are thrown out of the coupling at very high pressure.
Smaller couplings are delivered with a protection band. If the
coupling lacks protection band, a plate cover must be installed
around the coupling. Min. plate thickness 1.5 mm.

Assembly instruction SAFESET SR-CB 350 

1.  The coupling is delivered oiled and as a unit ready to be mounted as to enclosed
drawing 27496.

2.  Heat up the coupling to 80°C in an oven.

3.  Push the coupling onto the shaft. Assemble the plate, item 19, with the screws, item
20.

4.  After mounting of Safeset check that the coupling easily can be rotated.
(Note! Unscrew the shear tube to avoid damage when testing). 

5.  To limit the heat generation in the coupling after a release, a release indicator should
be installed and used to stop the power supply to the coupling after a release.

Important!
To avoid personal injury, a protection device must be installed to prevent shear tube parts
and oil to be thrown out with very high pressure when the SAFESET ® releases.

Disassembly of the coupling from the shaft. 

1.  Unscrew the screws, item 20 from the plate, item 19, and remove the plate.

2.  Assemble a hydraulic pump (max. pressure 100 MPa) into the centre thread of the
shaft (thread G1/4").

3.  Mount a pulling device in the screw holes (M16 (6x60°)) on the housing, item 15. Pull
with the device and at the same time inject oil into the shaft connection (injecting oil
makes it easier to disassemble the sleeve).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Safeset torque-limiting coupling has a hydraulic torque setting


system. By adjusting the hydraulic pressure the release torque can be
set to the required level.

When the pre-set torque is exceeded, the Safeset coupling slips and the top
of the shear tube is sheared off by the shear ring, releasing the oil pressure in
the coupling. This happens within a few milliseconds. After release the
coupling will run freely on the shaft. 

How to handle the coupling after release is described in the following


pages. 

The Safeset coupling is intended for transmission and limiting of torque.

Due to its design it has a limited ability to take up other types of loads, as
bending torque and radial loads. This must be take into account when
installing the Safeset coupling.

At installation it must also be observed that the Safeset coupling has no


possibility to take up alignment faults. In case such faults exist the Safeset
coupling must be installed in combination with another coupling, which can
take up these faults.

The combination must not lead to reaction forces such as loads or bending
torque on the Safeset coupling.

If the drive line where the SAFESET coupling is installed is not continuously
supervised a monitoring system discovering the release of the SAFESET
coupling must be installed.
This system will prevent that the SAFESET coupling rotates freely during a
longer period of time.

Transport locking

•   This SAFESET-coupling is pressurised at the delivery to prevent the coupling from


rotating during the transport. A warning label is located close to the sheartube. 

CAUTION!  
Coupling is pressurised to
20-35 MPa for transport only!

•   Lowering the pressure:


Connect the pump to the filling connection on the SAFESET-coupling.

Open the unloading valve on the pump.

Loosen the sheartube ½ turn until the oil is evacuated into the pump.

Tighten the sheartube when the pressure has dropped to 0 MPa.

Disconnect the pump.

Safety regulations

•   Protection glasses must be worn during pressure-


setting and handling of a SAFESET coupling which is under
pressure.

•   Do not pressurise the SAFESET coupling before installation.

•   At pressure setting and pressure release the shear tube or the


valve must be tightened before removing the pump.

•   When the SAFESET coupling releases, parts from the shear tube
and oil are thrown out of the coupling at very high pressure.
Smaller couplings are delivered with a protection band. If the
coupling lacks protection band, a plate cover must be installed
around the coupling. Min. plate thickness 1.5 mm.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Safeset torque-limiting coupling has a hydraulic torque setting


system. By adjusting the hydraulic pressure the release torque can be
set to the required level.

When the pre-set torque is exceeded, the Safeset coupling slips and the top
of the shear tube is sheared off by the shear ring, releasing the oil pressure in
the coupling. This happens within a few milliseconds. After release the
coupling will run freely on the shaft. 

How to handle the coupling after release is described in the following


pages. 

The Safeset coupling is intended for transmission and limiting of torque.

Due to its design it has a limited ability to take up other types of loads, as
bending torque and radial loads. This must be take into account when
installing the Safeset coupling.

At installation it must also be observed that the Safeset coupling has no


possibility to take up alignment faults. In case such faults exist the Safeset
coupling must be installed in combination with another coupling, which can
take up these faults.

The combination must not lead to reaction forces such as loads or bending
torque on the Safeset coupling.

If the drive line where the SAFESET coupling is installed is not continuously
supervised a monitoring system discovering the release of the SAFESET
coupling must be installed.
This system will prevent that the SAFESET coupling rotates freely during a
longer period of time.

Transport locking

•   This SAFESET-coupling is pressurised at the delivery to prevent the coupling from


rotating during the transport. A warning label is located close to the sheartube. 

CAUTION!  
Coupling is pressurised to
20-35 MPa for transport only!

•   Lowering the pressure:


Connect the pump to the filling connection on the SAFESET-coupling.

Open the unloading valve on the pump.

Loosen the sheartube ½ turn until the oil is evacuated into the pump.

Tighten the sheartube when the pressure has dropped to 0 MPa.

Disconnect the pump.

Safety regulations

•   Protection glasses must be worn during pressure-


setting and handling of a SAFESET coupling which is under
pressure.

•   Do not pressurise the SAFESET coupling before installation.

•   At pressure setting and pressure release the shear tube or the


valve must be tightened before removing the pump.

•   When the SAFESET coupling releases, parts from the shear tube
and oil are thrown out of the coupling at very high pressure.
Smaller couplings are delivered with a protection band. If the
coupling lacks protection band, a plate cover must be installed
around the coupling. Min. plate thickness 1.5 mm.

Assembly instruction SAFESET SR-CB 350 

1.  The coupling is delivered oiled and as a unit ready to be mounted as to enclosed
drawing 27496.

2.  Heat up the coupling to 80°C in an oven.

3.  Push the coupling onto the shaft. Assemble the plate, item 19, with the screws, item
20.

4.  After mounting of Safeset check that the coupling easily can be rotated.
(Note! Unscrew the shear tube to avoid damage when testing). 

5.  To limit the heat generation in the coupling after a release, a release indicator should
be installed and used to stop the power supply to the coupling after a release.

Important!
To avoid personal injury, a protection device must be installed to prevent shear tube parts
and oil to be thrown out with very high pressure when the SAFESET ® releases.

Disassembly of the coupling from the shaft. 

1.  Unscrew the screws, item 20 from the plate, item 19, and remove the plate.

2.  Assemble a hydraulic pump (max. pressure 100 MPa) into the centre thread of the
shaft (thread G1/4").

3.  Mount a pulling device in the screw holes (M16 (6x60°)) on the housing, item 15. Pull
with the device and at the same time inject oil into the shaft connection (injecting oil
makes it easier to disassemble the sleeve).

Lubricating instruction

Important!! Use Mobil SHC 624 oil as lubrication oil, otherwise the transmittable torque will
change!!! 

Oil drain: 

1.  Depressurise the SAFESET ® , see pressure lowering instruction, and remove all
sheartubes.

2.  Rotate the SAFESET ® so that one lubrication port is in a downward position.

Make sure to dispose the oil in an environmentally safe way.

3.  Unscrew the downward lubrication plug first, and then unscrew the horizontal
lubrication plug. 

4.  Allow all oil to evacuate from the coupling. 

Refill / check: 

1.  Depressurise the SAFESET ® and remove all sheartubes (if not already done). 

2.  Rotate the SAFESET ® so that one port is in an upward position, 10° from vertical. 
3.  Unscrew the lubrication plugs (if not already done).

4.  Fill Mobil SHC 624 oil slowly into the upward port with the lubrication injector until a
clear flow of oil emerges from the other port. Note: if the oil that emerges is
contaminated, a complete change of oil is recommended.

5.  Allow the SAFESET ® to sit in this position for 15 minutes to allow the oil to distribute
inside the coupling.

Pressure setting of a SAFESET coupling


(After installation or release)

A calibration diagram is enclosed every coupling. The coupling has a number right next to
the filling connection which corresponds to the calibration diagram. In this diagram the
necessary pressure for required torque limit can be read.
1.  Remove the damaged shear tubes.

2.  Fasten new shear tubes until they reach the bottom. The end of the shear tube is then
formed to fit the valve seat at the bottom of the hole. Then tighten the shear tubes with
care (tightening torque 30-35 Nm). This makes the coupling absolutely leak proof.

3.  Unscrew the shear tube next to the filling connection 1/2 turn.

4.  Remove the protection plug, item 2. Screw the quick connection into the G1/4" thread.

5.  Connect the hose and pump oil into the coupling until the manometer on the pump
shows the correct pressure (see calibration diagram on page 10).

6.  Tighten the shear tube at the filling connection carefully (30-35 Nm).

7.  Lower the pressure in the pump and remove it.

8.  Remove the quick connection and reset the protection plug into the connection hole.

Pressure lowering instruction 


1.  Remove the protection plug from the filling connection and tighten the quick
connection.

2.  Connect the pump to the quick connection. Check if there is enough room in the pump
to evacuate the oil from the SAFESET ® .

3.  Open the unloading valve on the pump (see pump instruction).

4.  Loosen the sheartube ½ turn to release pressure.

5.  Tighten the sheartube when the pressure has dropped to 0 MPa.

6.  Disconnect the pump and remove the quick connection.

7.  Reinstall the protection plug.
