Legal notes
Warning note concept
This manual comprises notes which must be observed for your personal safety and for preventing material
damage. Notes for your personal safety are marked with a warning triangle, those only for preventing
material damage appear without a warning triangle. Depending on the level of hazard, the warning notes
are shown in reverse order of seriousness, as follows.
DANGER
means, that death or serious injury will result, if the appropriate preventive action is not taken.
WARNING
means that death or serious injury may result, if the appropriate preventive action is not taken.
CAUTION
means that a slight injury may result, if the appropriate preventive action is not taken.
NOTICE
means that material damage may result, if the appropriate preventive action is not taken.
Where there is more than one hazard level, the warning note for whichever hazard is the most serious is
always used. If in a warning note a warning triangle is used to warn of possible personal injury, a warning
of material damage may be added to the same warning note.
Qualified personnel

the work concerned and in accordance with the documentation relating to the work concerned, particularly
the safety and warning notes contained in those documents.

*) Gear units in the "FLENDER DRIVES" product family are not suitable for use in hybride mixtures.
Note
With gear units without electrical explosion hazard monitoring device (such as temperature, oil level)
no ignition protection "b" is available.
The rating plate on the gear unit indicates the marking for the applicable case of application.
1.2.1
Ambient temperature
The specifications of Directive 94/9/EC apply to the ambient temperature range of from 20 C to + 40 C.
By adopting various suitable measures the gear unit may be used at ambient temperatures of between
40 C and + 60 C. However, Siemens must always have approved and confirmed this in the order
specification.
In individual cases the permissible ambient temperature range specified on the rating plate always applies.

1.5
Measuringsurface soundpressure level

The gear unit has a measuringsurface soundpressure level at a distance of 1 m, which can be found in
tables 4 to 6.
The measurement is carried out to standard "DIN EN ISO 9614" Part 2, using the soundintensity method.
The workplace of the operating personnel is defined as the area on the measuring surface at a distance
of 1 metre in the vicinity of which persons may be present.
The soundpressure level applies to the warmedup gear unit at input speed n1 and output power P2 stated
on the rating plate, as measurement obtained on the Siemens test bench. If several figures are given, the
highest speed and power values apply.
The measuringsurface soundpressure level includes addon lubrication units, if applicable. With
outgoing and incoming pipes, the flanges are the interfaces.
The soundpressure levels stated in the table were obtained by statistical evaluation by our Quality Control
Dept. The gear unit can be statistically expected to comply with these noise levels.

Safety instructions
WARNING
Risk of falling
Risk of serious injury through falling.
The gear unit and its addon parts must not be entered while they are in operation.
The gear unit must be entered for maintenance and repair work only when it is at a standstill.
WARNING
Risk of injury through unauthorised modifications
Any changes on the part of the user are not permitted.
This applies equally to safety features designed to prevent accidental contact.
3.1
Obligations of the user
The operator must ensure that everyone carrying out work on the gear unit has read and understood
these instructions and is adhering to them in every point in order to:
avoid injury or damage,
ensure the safety and reliability of the gear unit,
avoid disruptions to operation and environmental damage through incorrect use.

safety and environmental regulations must be complied with at all times.
The gear unit may only be operated, maintained and/or repaired by persons qualified for the work
concerned (see "Qualified personnel" on page 3 of this manual).
The outside of the gear unit must not be cleaned with highpressure cleaning equipment.
All work must be carried out with great care and with due regard to safety.
DANGER
Danger to life through switchedon installation
To carry out work, the gear unit and any addon or separate oilsupply unit must always be stopped.
The drive unit must be secured against being switched on accidentally (e.g. by locking the key switch
or removing the fuses from the power supply).
A notice should be attached to the ON switch stating clearly that work is in progress on the gear unit.
At the same time the complete installation must be without load, so that no danger occurs during
demounting operations.
No welding work must be done at all on the drive system.

The drive systems must not be used as an earthing point for electricwelding operations. Toothed parts
and bearings may be irreparably damaged by welding.
DANGER
Electrostatic discharge
Danger to life through ignition of any potentially explosive atmosphere through electrostatic discharge.
A potential equalisation in accordance with the applying regulations and/or directives must be carried
out.
On the gear units threaded holes are available for establishing an earth connection. This work must
always be done by specialist electricians.

4.4
Standard coating and preservation

The gear unit is provided with an interior preservative agent; the free shaft ends are painted for protection.
The characteristics of the exterior coat depend on the ambient conditions stipulated in the order relating
to method of transport and area of application.
NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to the gear unit possible through corrosion.
The gear unit is normally delivered completely ready, with a priming and a finish coat.
Where gear units are delivered with a priming coat only, it is necessary to apply a finish coat in
accordance with directives applying to the specific application.
The priming coat alone is not suitable to provide a sufficient longterm corrosion protection.
NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to the shaft seals possible.
When doing cleaning work and/or applying the top coat, the shaft seals must be protected with suitable
means (e.g. sealing with adhesive tape).
This protection prevents paint or cleaning media from getting into the gear unit and coming into contact
with the shaft seal.
Note
The coating complies with the requirements for the conductivity of the coating and the limitation of the
layer thickness of the applied coating in accordance with standard "DIN EN 134631". The permissible
maximum coating thickness depends on the indicated explosion group (IIA or IIB or IIC). Where coatings
have a thickness < 200 m, no electrostatic charge is to be expected.
DANGER
safely avoided.
Note
Examples of highly effective chargegenerating mechanisms are:
the rapid passage of heavily dustladen air near by
the sudden escape of particleladen compressed gases
other heavy friction action (not manual cleaning or rubbing with cleaning cloths)
NOTICE

Technical description
5.1
General description
The gear unit described is a "FLENDER gear unit" designed for driving agitators in the chemical industry.
The gear unit is supplied as a two, three or fourstage helical and/or bevelhelical gear unit. It is designed
for installation in a vertical position. If necessary, it can also be designed for installation in a different
mounting position.
In case of types H.AV, H.BV, B.AV and B.BV the output shaft is rotating in an oildam pipe. This prevents
gear oil from escaping at the shaft end. The oil supply takes place by a flangedon pump or by a motor
pump.
NOTICE
Material damage
Destruction of the gear unit or gearunit components possible through incorrect direction of rotation.
The gear unit can be operated in both directions of rotation.
However, it is possible that a certain direction of rotation has been specified in the order which is realised
by addingon a backstop or an overrunning clutch.
The gear unit is characterised by a low noise level. This is achieved by bevel and helical gears with a high
contact ratio and a sounddamping housing.
The good temperature characteristics of the gear unit are achieved by its high degree of efficiency, large
housing surface and performancerelated cooling system.
A number of shaft configurations (types and rotation directions) are possible. These are shown in the
following table as solid shafts. The arrows with the direction of rotation show the correlation between the
directions of rotation of the input and output shafts.

Housing
The housing is made of cast iron; if necessary, it may also be made of steel.
Housings up to size 12 are made in one part. The sizes 13 to 26 have a twopart housing. The housing is
of torsionally rigid design and because of its shape imparts very favourable noise and temperature
characteristics.
The gearunit housing comes with the following equipment:
Lifting eyes (adequately dimensioned for transport)

Inspection and/or assembly cover (for oil filling and/or inspection).
Marked oilfilling position with screw plug (for oil filling).
Dipstick with MIN and MAX marks (for checking the oil level).

Toothed components
The toothed components of the gear unit are casehardened. The helicalgear teeth are ground. The high
quality of the teeth leads to a significant noise reduction of the gear unit and ensures safe and reliable
running.
The gear wheels are joined to the shafts by interference fits and parallel keys. These types of joints transmit
the torques generated with adequate reliability.
5.4
Lubrication
5.4.1
Splash lubrication for gear units without oilsupply system

When installed vertically, all teeth and bearings are submerged in oil. The extended space required
(for expansion of the oil) is provided by an oilequalising tank boltedon.

36 / 111
5.4.2
Forcefeed lubrication by addon flange oder motor pump

The gear units of the series H.AV, H.BV, B.AV and B.BV are generally equipped with a forcefeed
lubrication.
The gear units of type H..V from size 13 onwards are equipped with a forcefeed lubrication. Depending
on order requirement, sizes 7 to 12 can in special aplications also be fitted with forcefeed lubrication
and/or from size 13 onwards with splash lubrication.
The forcefeed lubrication system system is permanently attached to the gear unit and consists of a flange
or motor pump, a coarse filter, a pressuremonitoring device and related pipework. For gear units of sizes
13 to 26, the coarse filter is replaced with a double changeover filter.
The direction of flow from the flangedon pumps is independent of the direction of rotation. In exceptional
cases a flangedon pump dependent of the direction of rotation can be used. Related specifications can
be taken from the drawings in the gearunit documentation and the list of equipment.

Shaft bearings
All shafts are fitted in rolling bearings.
5.6
Shaft seal
Radial shaftsealing rings, Taconite seals or special seals at the shaft outlets prevent oil from escaping
from, or dirt from entering into the gear unit.
5.6.1
Radial shaftsealing rings

Radial shaftsealing rings are the standard type of seal. They are fitted preferably with an additional dust
lip to protect the actual sealing lip from external contamination.
NOTICE
Material damage
Destruction of the radial shaftsealing ring possible through high dust concentration.
Do not use radial shaftsealing ring in an environment with high dust concentration.
For special mounting positions the radial shaftsealing ring is used with a grease filling in combination with
a ring.
Where large quantities of dust occur in accordance with the conditions permitted under Directive 94/9/EC,
use is possible only in combination with the Taconite seal (see item 5.6.2).
Fig. 22: Radial shaftsealing ring

5.6.2
Taconite seal
Taconite seals have been especially developed for use in a dusty environment. The entry of dust is

5.6.3
Oildam pipe
By sealing the downward pointing input shaft with a contactfree and wearfree shaft seal (a socalled
"oildam pipe") the shaft outlet is sealed absolutely tight to prevent oil escaping. This system is used only
for forcefeed lubrication.
The lower antifriction bearing of the output shaft is separated from the gearunit interior by the oildam pipe
and is lubricrated by grease. Grease is prevented from escaping by the use of a radial shaft-sealing ring.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the lower bearing through insufficient sealing.
The relubrication intervals must be observed for relubrication of the lower bearing (see section 7,
"Startup", and table 26 in section 10, "Maintenance and Repair").

Note
Be sure to observe the operating instructions of the oilsupply system for operation and maintenance.
Note
5.8
Couplings, clutches
As a rule, flexible couplings or safety clutches are used for connecting the prime mover (motor) to the gear
unit.
If rigid couplings are to be used or other in and/or output elements, which generate additional radial and/or
axial forces (e.g. gear wheels, belt pulleys, disk flywheels, hydraulic couplings), this must be agreed by
contract.
5.9
Heating
At low temperatures it may be necessary to preheat the gearunit oil before switching on the drive unit or
even during operation. In such cases the use of heating elements is possible. The heating elements
convert electrical energy into heat which is conducted to the surrounding oil. The heating elements are
located in protective tubes inside the housing, thus making it possible to replace the heating elements
without draining off the oil.
Complete immersion of the heating elements in the oil bath must be ensured.
The heating elements can be controlled by a temperature monitor which emits a signal when minimum and
maximum temperatures are reached; the signal requires amplification.

5.15
Overrunning clutch
If the gear unit is fitted with an auxiliary drive unit in addition to the main drive, coupling is realized by an
overrunning clutch. This allows, when driving by the auxiliary drive unit, a torque transmission in one
direction of rotation, while there is "freewheeling operation" when driven by the main drive.
The output shaft of the main drive will rotate in the same direction both if the drive is effected via the main
motor and via the auxiliarydrive motor.
The overrunning clutch is fitted in an adapter flange and integrated in the oil circuit of the gear unit.
Maintenance and oil change take place simultaneously with maintenance and oil change of the main gear
unit.
The overrunning clutch is provided with centrifugally operated sprags. If the main gear unit is rotating in the
specified direction of rotation, the inner ring will rotate together with the sprags, while the outer ring remains
stationary. From a certain speed of rotation, the sprags will lift off and the overrunning clutch will operate
without wear. If the drive is effected by the motor of the auxiliary drive via the outer ring, the overrunning
clutch will be in "carrier operation", i.e. the main gear unit is turned over slowly in the chosen direction
of rotation. At the same time, the drive shaft of the main gear unit and, if a flexible coupling is used between
main motor and gear unit, possibly the main motor will rotate slowly along with it.
Note
The main motor and the motor of the auxiliary drive unit should be interlocked electrically in such
a manner that only one of the two motors can be switched on.
Note
When driving via the auxiliary drive unit, the drive shaft of the main gear unit will rotate along
simultaneously. This rotary motion must not be impeded. A brake arranged on the drive side in the main
drive must be released if the drive is effected via the auxiliary drive.
Note
Prior to startup, the overrunning clutch should be checked for proper function according to item 7.3.4.

Demounting agitator gear units with hollow output shaft of types H.TV and H.JV
Remove the axial securing device from the hollow shaft.
Remove flange bolt.
In case of a formation of fretting corrosion on the seat faces between hollow shaft and machine shaft,
rust releasing agent should be squeezed into the hollow space of the bore and, thus, against the seats
by means of a pump. The rust releasing agent is forced in through the connection for pressure oil in the
machine shaft (see figure 39) or in the end plate (see figure 40).
When the rust-releasing agent has taken effect, pull the gear unit off using the device (see figures 39
and 40).
Removing the gear unit from the drivenmachine shaft can be done, depending on local possibilities,
as follows:
preferably using a hydraulic lifting unit,
using forcingoff screws in an end plate (see figure 40), or
using a central threaded spindle.
Note
The end plate and/or the auxiliary plate for forcing off the gear unit are not included in the Siemens
delivery.
Each of the two end faces of the hollow shaft is provided with threaded holes (for dimensions,
see figure 41) for fastening the end plate to the hollow shaft.

Couplings, clutches
As a rule, flexible couplings or safety slip clutches are used for driving the gear unit.
If rigid couplings are to be used or other in and/or output elements, which generate additional radial and/or
axial forces (e.g. gear wheels, belt pulleys, disk flywheels, hydraulic couplings), this must be agreed by
contract.
Note
Couplings must be balanced in accordance with the specifications in the pertinent instructions manual.
When operating and servicing the couplings, observe the operating instructions relating to the couplings.
Increased system service life and reliability and reduced running noise can be achieved through the least
possible radial and angular misalignment.
NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to the gear unit or single components possible through incorrect alignment.
When positioning the drive units the instructions for the alignment of the individual components given in
the manuals belonging to the components must be observed.
Inadmissibly large errors in the alignment of the shaft ends to be connected through angular and/or axial
misalignments result in premature wear and material damage.
When using toothed couplings a defined alignment deviation may be required; observe the manual to
the toothed coupling.
Insufficiently rigid base frames or substructures can also during operation cause a radial and/or axial
misalignment, which cannot be measured when the unit is at a standstill.
Note
For permissible alignment errors in case of couplings supplied by Siemens, refer to the operating
instructions for the couplings.
When using couplings manufactured by other manufacturers, ask these manufacturers which alignment
errors are permissible, stating the radial loads occurring.
The coupling parts may got out of alignment:
through imprecise alignment during assembly or installation

during operation of the system:
through heat expansion,
through shaft flexure,
through too weak machine frames, etc.

Fig. 42: Possible misalignments

Alignment has to be done in two axial planes situated perpendicularly to each other. This can be done by
means of a ruler (radial misalignment) and feeler gauge (angular misalignment), as shown in the
illustration. The aligning accuracy can be increased by using a dial gauge or a laser alignment system.

NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to or destruction of the coupling possible through incorrect alignment.
The maximum permissible misalignment values are specified in the operating instructions for the
coupling; they must under no circumstances be exceeded during operation.
Angular and radial misalignments may occur at the same time. The sum of both misalignments must not
exceed the maximum permissible value of the angular or radial misalignment.
If you use couplings manufactured by other manufacturers, please ask these manufacturers which
alignment errors are permissible, stating the radial loads occurring.
Note
For alignment of the drive components (vertical direction), it is recommended to use packing or foil plates
underneath the mounting feet. The use of claws with set screws on the foundation for lateral adjustment
of the drive components is also advantageous.
In case of gear units with hollow output shafts or flange output shafts, the coupling on the output side is not
required. Gear units with hollow output shafts must be fitted on the shafts of the customers machinery.

7.1.3
Filling with lubricant

Note
When preserving with operating oil or when represerving with operating oil (see section 4.4), lubricant
is not poured in, but the operating oil has been drained off until a specified oil level has been reached.is
Remove contaminations in the area of the marked oilfilling point.
To fill with oil, unscrew the oil dipstick on the gear unit or oilequalising tank.
Unscrew the air filter including the reducing screw.
Top up the gear unit with fresh oil using a filling filter (mesh approx. 25 m), until the oil reaches the lower
mark on the dipstick or the lower mark on the oilsight glass. Do not put in any further oil. The viscosity
of the oil in cold condition will cause the oil level to continue rising slowly. If necessary, but only after
the oil level has steadied, pour in further oil up to the middle between the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick or up to the middle of the oilsight glass. During the filling operation, make sure that no dirt can
enter into the gear unit.
Note
The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300 operating
instructions, otherwise the guarantee given by Siemens will lapse. We urgently recommend using one
of the oils listed in table "T 7300" (for a link to the Internet, see the back cover), as they have been tested
and meet the requirements.
Information on the type, quantity and viscosity of the oil is given on the rating plate on the gear unit.
The oil quantity shown on the rating plate is to be understood as an approximate quantity. The actual oil
quantity to be put in are the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick or the middle on the oil-sight glass.
Note
In case of gear units fitted with forcefeed lubrication or an oilcooling system, the oil circuit must also be
charged with oil. To do so, briefly start up the gear unit with added pump. Observe the instructions in
section 8, "Operation".
Check the oil level in the gearunit housing.
Note
The oil must come up to area of the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick or of the middle of the oilsight
glass.
CAUTION
Observe the manufacturers instructions for handling lubricants.
To fill with oil, screw in the oil dipstick on the gear unit or oilequalising tank.
Screw in the air filter with the reducing screw.

10.1.1 General service lives of oils

According to the oil manufacturers, the following are the expected periods during which the oils can be
used without undergoing any significant change in quality. They are calculated on the basis of an average
oil temperature of 80 C:
for mineral oils, biodegradable oils and physiologically safe oils (synthetic esters):
10 000 operating hours or maximally 2 years. Does not apply to natural esters such as rape seed
oils.
for synthetic oils, polyolefins and polyglycols: 20 000 operating hours or maximally 4 years.
Note
The actual service lives may differ. The general rule is that an increase in temperature of 10 K will halve
the service life and a temperature decrease of 10 K will approximately double the service life.
10.2
Description of maintenance and repair works
10.2.1 Examine water content of oil, conduct oil analyses

Detailed information about examining the oil for water content or conducting oil analyses is given in manual
BA 7300 (for a link to the Internet, see the back cover) and is obtainable from your lubricant manufacturer
or from the Siemens customer service.
10.2.2 Change oil
As an alternative to the oilchange intervals specified in table 26 (see item 10.1), it is possible to have an
oil sample tested at regular intervals, every 4 weeks, by the technical service of the relevant oil company
and to have it cleared for further use.
If further usability has been confirmed, no oil change will be necessary.
Note
Please observe the separately annexed operating instructions BA 7300 and the notes in item 7.1.
Drain the oil while the gear unit is still warm, i.e. immediately after stopping the machinery.
NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to the gear unit possible through incorrect lubrication resulting from mixed oils.
When changing the oil, always refill the gear unit with the same type of oil.
Never mix different types of oil and/or oils made by different manufacturers. Never mix synthetic oils with
mineralbased oils or with other synthetic oils.
When changing to any different oil type, the gear unit must be flushed thoroughly using the new oil type.
Note
When changing the oil, the housing and the oilsupply system, if available, must be flushed with oil to
remove sludge, metal particles and oil residue. Use the same type of oil as is used for normal operation.
Highviscosity oils must be heated beforehand using suitable means. Ensure that all residues have been
removed before filling with fresh oil.

10.2.8 Check cooling coil
Shut off the coolingwater supply.
Disconnect the water in and outflow pipes from the cooling coil.
Check the inside wall of the cooling coil for deposits.
DANGER
Risk of explosion
Ignition of a potentially explosive atmosphere possible through overheating of the gear unit due to
insufficient cooling.
If the cooling coil is dirty, heat is no longer withdrawn effectively from the gear unit. Any dirt adhering to
the inside of the coil should be removed by chemical cleaning or the cooling coil should be replaced with
a new one.
If thick deposits have formed on the inside of the cooling coil, the cooling water and/or the deposits
themselves should be chemically analysed. Such analyses are offered by specialist companies for
chemical cleaning. Such companies also sell special cleaning agents for removing such deposits.
Before using these cleaning agents, check that they will not damage the coolingcoil materials (contact
Siemens). Observe the manufacturers instructions at all times when using different cleaning agents from
several manufacturers.
CAUTION
Risk of corrosion burns through chemical substances
Avoid burns when working with corrosive cleaning agents.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses).
Seriously contaminated cooling coils must be replaced. Consult the Siemens Customer Service for
this.
Reconnect the coolingwater in and outflow pipes.
10.2.9 Check hose lines

Even when adequately stored and subjected to permitted loads, hoses and hose lines are subject to
a natural ageing process. This limits their period of use (service life).
NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to the hose lines through excessive ageing or external influences.
The period of use of the hose lines must not exceed 6 years.
For checking purposes, the manufacturing date is printed on the hose lines.
If a fault is found during inspections, this must be rectified immediately.
The period of use can be determined using available test results and empirical values, taking into account
the conditions of use.
Note
The operator of the system must ensure that hose lines are replaced at suitable intervals of time, even
if no defects which may affect their safe operation are identifiable on them.
Hose lines must be inspected for safe working condition by an expert before the plant is first put into
operation and thereafter at least once a year.

engineers have the experience and training necessary to identify any components requiring replacement.
BA 5038 en 01/2014
106 / 111
10.5
Lubricants
The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300 operating
instructions, otherwise the guarantee given by Siemens will lapse. We urgently recommend using one of
the oils listed in table "T 7300" (for a link to the Internet, see the back cover), as they have been tested and
meet the requirements.
Note
To avoid misunderstandings, we should like to point out that this recommendation is in no way intended
as a guarantee of the quality of the lubricant supplied. Each lubricant manufacturer is responsible for the
quality of his own product.
Information on the type, viscosity and required quantity of the oil is given on the rating plate on the gear unit
and/or in the supplied documentation.
The oil quantity shown on the rating plate is to be understood as an approximate quantity. The actual oil
quantity to be put in is shown by the middle on the oilsight glass or the middle between the MIN and MAX
marks on the dipstick.
The BA 7300 manual relating to the gearunit lubrication and table "T 7300" containing the current lubricant
recommendations of Siemens can also be consulted on the internet (see back cover).
The oils listed there are subjected to continuous tests. Under certain circumstances the oils recommended
there may therefore later be removed from the range or replaced with further developed oils.
We recommend checking before any oil change whether the chosen lubricant is still approved by Siemens.
