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 product or system to which this documentation relates may be handled only by persons qualified for
the work concerned and in accordance with the documentation relating to the work concerned, particularly
the safety and warning notes contained in those documents.
Qualified personnel must be specially trained and have the experience necessary to recognise risks
associated with these products and to avoid possible hazards.

*) 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.

Technical description
Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"!
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.

Note
When operating and servicing the components of the oilsupply system, observe the operating
instructions of these components.
For technical data and control information, refer to the data sheet and/or the list of equipment.
5.7.4.1 Pump
The pump used is suitable for the delivery of lubricant. The flow medium must not contain abrasive
components and must not chemically affect the materials of the pump. A precondition of a proper
functioning, high reliability and long service life of the pump is in particular a clean and lubricant delivery
medium.

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.

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.

centering shoulder.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the gear unit through centering of the agitator gear unit (centering shoulder d3) in
the counterflange.
In case of a machine shaft which is double supported in the counterflange on the machine side, centering
of the agitator gear unit (centering shoulder d3) in the counterflange is inadmissible (redundancy).
When aligning the machine shaft in relation to the counterflange, the radial and angular misalignments
should be kept as small as possible.
DANGER
Danger to life through flying fragments
Nonobservance of the alignment accuracy can cause shaft rupture, resulting in serious injury and
danger to life.
Align the gear unit precisely (adhere to the specified values).
Damage to the gear unit or its components or addon parts possible.
The service life of the shaft and bearings largely depends on the aligning accuracy of the machine shaft
in relation to the counterflange. If possible, the deviation should be zero. In this respect the tolerances
can be found in the pertinent operating instructions.
Clean the supporting surface of the mounting or block flange of the gear unit and the counterflange on
the machine side.

CAUTION
Risk of injury through chemical substances
Observe manufacturers instructions for handling lubricants and solvents.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Note
The front area of the mounting flange and counterflange must be absolutely free from grease.
This is essential for safe and reliable torque transmission.
Contaminated solvents and dirty cloths as well as cleaning agents containing oil (such as paraffin or
turpentine) are not suitable for removing grease.
DANGER
Risk of explosion
Danger to life through ignition of solventagent vapours or any other potentially explosive atmosphere
during cleaning work.
The gear unit must not be cleaned in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Observe the following:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Do not smoke.
Remove the corrosion protection from the hollow shaft and from the machine shaft with a suitable
cleaning agent.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the shaftsealing rings through chemically aggressive cleaning agents.
The cleaning agent must in no way be allowed to come into contact with the shaftsealing rings.
Check the hollow and drivenmachine shafts for any damage on the bearing seats and edges.
If necessary, rework the parts with a suitable tool and clean them again.
Note
Coat with a suitable lubricant to prevent frictional corrosion of the contact surfaces.
6.6.1
Pulling on
Pull up the gear unit with suitable lifting gear by means of nut and threaded spindle and put down on
the counterflange on the machine side.
NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to the gear unit possible through canting during fitting work.
When fitting the gear unit on the drivenmachine shaft, the hollow shaft must be in line with the
drivenmachine shaft. Any canting must be avoided.

NOTICE
Material damage
Damage to the gear unit possible through uneven tightening of the flange bolts or through insufficient
strength of the screwed connection.
Tighten the flange bolts crosswise to full torque.
The joint bolts must be tightened to the specified tightening torque. For the correct tightening torque,
refer to item 6.20. Bolts of at least strength class 8.8 must be used. The transmittable gearunit torque
is limited by the bolted joint on bolt circle K1.
6.6.1.1 Axial securing
Depending on type, secure the hollow shaft axially on the machine shaft (e.g. with locking ring, end plate,
set screw).

6.6.2
Demounting agitator gear units with hollow output shaft of types H.TV and H.JV
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.

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
To fill with oil, unscrew the oil dipstick on the gear unit or oilequalising tank.
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".
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
Risk of injury through chemical substances
The oil must not come into contact with the skin (e.g. the operators hands).
The safety notes on the data sheets for the oil used must be observed.
Remove any oil spillage immediately with a binding agent.

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.
