You are invited to consult. with Western Gear enginoers and technicians fon all problems not covered in this manual. All Western Gear power transmission equipment is designed land constructed in accordance with the Iatest AGMA ap: proved engineering practices. I is rugged in construction snd efficient in operation. With proper installation and mainte ‘anes it will give excellent service for many yeas. Behind this unit is a background of continuous, specialized research and development. It was produced by a company ‘with over 70 years experience in the manufecture of gears and power transmission equipment. Skilled and specially trained eraflsmen fabricated the parts and assembled the unit. STORAGE PREPARATION SHORT TERM For inside storage, where there is no geat_ temperature change which would cause condensation to form inside the fgearcase, the unit should have ample protection for a period of 3 to 6 months. Westen Gear High-Speed Gear Units are tested with a preservative oi with high rust inhibiting ‘qualities. A periodic inspection inside the unit through the inspection opening should be performed at some predeter- ‘mined interval and any indication of condensation or rust must be remedied by flushing with @ preservative oll. If oat is present or a much longer storage period is required, other protective measures must be taken as described under Long Term. LONG TERM. For long term storage, unusual conditions, or for the vtmost protection, all openings such 25 breather and shaft open- ings can be sealed and the unit filled with @ preservative oil, or with oil which is to be eventually used as lube oil. To’ seal shaft openings, add 2 can-type cover which ean be “polted to the open covers. This will also insure protection for the shaft extensions. A second method of protection is to fil the gearcase sump. with a corrosion preventive ofl such as Shell VS1 32. For etailed information on this method, ecasult Western Gear Corporation, A third and more costly method is to disassemble the unit and protect each item. Coat each part with preservative in accordance with MILC-16173 Grade 2 or Grade 4, or ‘equivalent. The pinion, gear, and bearings should be boxed in addition to coating to prevent accidental damage. Split line surfaces should be coated with cosmoline and housings assembled to prevent possible he! INSTALLATION Tis unit is shipped dry without special preservatives unless specified in the order. Standard test procedures involve the vai of an oil which contains rust inhibitors. Under normal protected storage at reasonably constant temperatuce, this ‘fl will prevent rust far a pesiod of 3 to 6 months. Western Gear Corporation assumes no responsibility. for weather ‘damage or damage by action of corrosive elements in the ‘atmosphere. when unit is stored before being put into set- vice. No solvents or special treatment is required to place the unit in service if special preservative protection has not been specified. ‘Upon receiving the unit, check to be sure itis in accordance With other requirements and is correct for the job, ‘The successful operation of this unit depends to a large extent on a proper installation. The unit must be securely bolted to a ngid foundation and carefully aligned with.the machinery to which it connects, Tue flexible couplings used between this machinery and the gear box cannot be considerea as universal joints. Therefore, the shaft align ‘ment must be within thé limitations set up by the coupling manufacturer. Flexible couplings provide protection against misalignment caused by normal deflection and small move- ‘ments of shaft centers under varying operating Joads. Ade- quate allowances should be made for thermal growth in drive line components and supporting structures. ‘The foundation must allow for a minimum of 1/16:inch vertical adjustment of gear unit relative to driver and diver components. The foundation must be level and flt, pro- viding even’ bearing support all around. The foundation aust be rigid and of suflicient mass to prevent deflections from weight or transmitted loads and to minimize vibra tions from adjacent sources. ‘Western Gear Corporation does not assume responsibility for vibrations originating in, or excited by the power source, the driven machine, ot any combination of these If structural steel bedplates are used, we recommend that the base be filled with concrete and grouted. Tapped holes andjor leveling sctews are provided in the unit base to assist in leveling. Ushaped shims fitting around the main holddowm bolts and under the gearbox base should be used to remove the weight from leveling screws before tightening holddown bolts and doweling the unit to the foundation, These shims are available a5 standard acces- NOTE: Use of soft type shims, eg, aluminum or brass is not recommended,oy 10000 Series High-Speed Gear Unit Fig. 1.HANDLING The unit shoul always be moved by slinging from lifting eyes provided. or by rolling on bars or skates. AT NO TIME show's the shaft extensions be used 10 sappont the unit, and care should always be used so as not to darnage machined surfaces MOUNTING OF COUPLINGS, ETC. We recommend that all couplings tueting 10,000 eprn and ‘over have hubs balanced in place on the pinion shaft. Prior 10 mounting of couplings, ete., a check should be made to ascertain that there are no handling burs on shaft exten: sions and that coupling faces are irue and free of nicks, Observing the following hints will insure proper instal lation of couplings, goa, ete 1. Inspect Key and keyway for proper fit before attempting to install coupling on shaft. Make certain there isa small amount of clearance at the top of the key. 2. Measure the sheft and coupling bores to determine saat iniesferonce is in accordance with specifications. Coat the shaft with an antiseizing compound if 2 keyed ft is used. [f 2 shrink fit without key is used, install coupling on dry and clean shaft, 3. Heat the coupling uniformly until it measures over: ‘enough to be installed with a light drive. The amount ‘of heat required varies with the shaft diameter and the amount of interference. Therefore, it is necessary that the tore size be watched closely during hesting. CAUTION: Do not heat aver 500% Be careful not to oveibeat localized spots, Do not pound directly on coupling with steel hammers; use lead or rawhide mal- lets, bronze block or dif. A temporary block should be used as a stop to prevent the coupling from sliding too far on to the shaft, Units ordered with coupling guards are often shipped without guards installed. Depending on size, the guards vwill either bolt diseetly to the shaft bearing cover ar to an adapter plate installed et the factory. Two-piece coupling guards ave a bolt ciscle in the flange of the lower half nly fos bolting to the unit, ‘The upper baif is then bolted fo the lower half and is easily removed for maintenance of ‘he coupling, Stem type thermometers are usually shipped separately to avold breakage and must be installed at the jod site. NOTE: When installing thermometers, seal pipe threads with Silastic, or equivae Tent, to prevent leakage FOUNDATION & ALIGNMENT ‘Rigid, secure mounting and accurate alignment of the High Speed Gear Unit is necessary t0 minimize weer, abnormal bearing temperatures, vibration, and coupling’ problems, Although some form of feaible coupling must be used, it is essential that accurate alignment between the coupling hhubs of connecting shafts be achieved, The maximum ddegice of alignment error should be no greater than 0.005 tofal indicator reading of the shaft true running position. ‘Two mounting mothods ate commonly used: Common Bedplare. When the unit is placed on a structural steal bedplate common with driving or driven machinery, the high speed unit may be shimmed under each holddovn bolt. The size of the shiss depends on the unit size, but should be large enough to give a generous azea for substan: tial support of the weight of the gear unit. ‘The alignment of machinery should stast from the driving or driven machine (whichever is most permanently settled in position). The gear unit will then be aligned ta it followed. by the aligning of the third machinery component to the geat unit. Jacking serew holes are provided to move vertically. Conerete Foundation & Soleplates. A concrete foundation should allow.for final grouting of the machinery. Vertical positioning of the unit and its soléplates can be done by using jacking screws. After accurate alignment of all mi- chinery components to one another, each should be grouted Yo the concrete foundation. Usb of so¥eplates will allow for removal of the gear housing at a later date and re~ tain a permanent mounting pad. NOTE: We recommend that an allow- ance be made for a minimum of 1/16 Inch shimming between the gear unit and bedplate “or soleplates to provide Tatitude for final alignment, METHOD OF CHECKING ALIGNMENT ‘One recommended method of checking alignment is by fixing a dial indicator to one ofthe shafts or coupling hubs. Span the indicator atm across to the mating shaft or coup ling hub (fg. 2). Procoed in the following manner 1, Rotate shaft B 10 check coupling hub (or shaft) concentecity. Set indicator at top and: pointer at 2210. 2. Rotate shaft A and take indicator seadings at shaft Bat top, bottom, and each side at eases (angle), SPANNER seTSCREN IAL INDICATOR Fig. 2.

A deflection check can be made by attaching he spanner ‘and indicator (o 2 tube or pipe. Set the indicator to 2210 at the top and rotate the pipe to the bottom. IF deflection § noted, the spanner should be reinforced to eliminate it, ‘The coupled shafts in the system may likely change posi- tion when operating under full load and normal operating temperatures, When final alignment is made, itis necessary ‘0 consider the operating shaft positions NOTE: It is not necesxry to disconnect ‘the coupling to check alignment by this method. ‘THERMAL EXPANSION WITH 10°F ‘TEMPERATURE RISE Table 1 shows the anticipated thermal expansion of Westemn Gear High-Speed Gear Units vertieally and hor! zontally for 100°F of temperature ase. Normal tempera- ture rise is usually 49 to 70°F and a percentage of the figures shown in the table can be used, ‘The position of the shafts in the bearings will also affect alignment under operating conditions.

Gear tooth contact, backlash, end float, and ‘bearing clearanco must be checked each time a unit is disassembled. Unless a person specially trained in gear ad- justments is available, we tecommend that a Western Gear ‘service representative be consulted. PUMP DISASSEMBLY To remove ce pump only, fist disconnect the two unions con the suction and dischaige lines and swing thems away. Remove. the four long botis from the back end of the pump housing snd the entire assembly can then bo wih Grawn from the adapter flsige. The pump diive coupling consists of three pieces, a hub attached to the goar shaft, a hub attached to the pump shaft, and a nylon sleeve con: necting the two hubs. The sleeve floats; can be easily taken ‘out with the fingers, Small reducers sequize the removal of the adapter ange for removal of the sleave as itis t00 Jange(o temove through the pump pilot hole. When reassem- bling the pump to the unit, mount the coupling hubs flush with the ends of their respective shafts, Place che sleeve over the teeth of che gearshaft hub and push the pump int place, rocking sgh, to engage so eoupling gearBEARING INSPECTION ‘The condition of joumal bearings at inspection, during ‘overhaul, or disassembly is an important consideration for future operation. Correct evaluation of the conditions can save costly and unnecessary replacement. ‘Worn Bearings (Fig. 22). New bearing radial clearances vary, depending on beating size, joumal velocity, and other factors, The amount of wear can be determined by meas- uring the movement of the uncoupled shafts when located in their assembled housing. Fig. 22. Worn Bearing. ‘Tho appearance of bright spots shows evidence of high spots of hard bearing area on 2 localized surface of the ‘bearing motal. These should be lightly scraped and polished ‘and the bearing contact area checked by rolling the shaft Joumals in the installed bearing halves. Apply # light coat ‘of Prussian Blue to the shaft joumals to show contact pattern. ‘Optimum bearing contact should be approximately one- third the circumferonce of the shell with 90% contact Tength in that area. Scrape high spots with a bearing scraper and polish with fine steel wool. CAUTION: Some units may be equipped ih, specalbeacngs, that cannot be scraped . The unit will be identified by 4 special nameplate attached to the gear- cate. Fig. 23. Corrosive Pitting. Corrosive Pitting (Fig. 23). Comrosive pitting is caused by chemical reaction of impurities in the lubricating oil. An gxtieme condition, which requlies replaement, i shown in fig. 23. Less extreme conditions can be corrected if a 90% contact area can be established and if bonding of the {greater portion of the babbitt surface is not impaired. How- ever, the bearing surface must be polished and blued as Hammering & Vibration (Fig. 24). Hammering and vibration will cquse the bearing material to fatigue and break loose from its bond, breaking into small particles along the ber- ing surfaee. Fig. 24. Hammering and Vibration ‘Advanced cases will reduce the bearing area so as to make it unsuitable for satisfactory operation. Likewise, other areas will continue to break out as evidenced by’ visible cracks in the bearing material. The pieces that break out will also cause scoring and ofl contamination. Hammering and vibration can be caused from misalignment, unbalance, improper instalation, or a system problem. Bearings must bbe replaced, but a thorough investigation and correction of the cause must be made if satisfactory service of the new ‘bearings isto be expected. Scoring (Fig. 25). Scoring is usually a result of dirt or metal particles in the lubricating oil, but can also result from scratches or blemishes on the shaft joumal. With even the most tidy housekeeping during the preparation and assembly of the unit, particles may remain which will ‘cause light scoring. Scoring, as such, is not detrimental to the operation of the unit 2s long as the bearing area is not seriously redueed. However, bearings should be carefully cleaned to smooth rough edges left by scoring, and then polished with steel wool. SS sad as Fig. 25. Scoring. 22“The shaft journals must always be carefully inspected for blemishes and should be polished with crocus cloth or very fine emery cloth before the shaft in the bearings. Ahheavy coat of clean lubricating off should also be spread across the beating to provide initial lubrication. Wiping (Fig. 26). A wiped bearing is the result of mome tary bearing temperature which exceeds the pour point of the bearing metal. This may be localized in one spot in the bearing lesving @ small blemish which can be cleaned satisfactorily. However, a wiped beating starting ina par- ticular ares, may cause sufficiont bearing metal flow to impair future operation of the bearing. 5 tem Fig, 26. Wiping. Some of the causes of bearing wiping are: 1. Lack of tubsicating oil/or lubricating oil pressure 2, Insufilcient bearing clearance. 3. Excessive lubricating oil temperature. 4, Insufficient beaing contact on the journal. 5. Severe misalignment or extreme’ radish load caused by failure or jamming of foreign material in the gear mesh. Before a wiped beating is replaced, the cause of wiping should be determined. Fist, check thatthe gear and pinion are ot daraged, Check the intra ol supply piping fr tightness. Carefully check the housing bores for rough eds OF high spots which might cause distortion of the bearing halves. Likewise check the O.D- and 1D. of the beatings and the bearing splitline for projections ac sharp edges, and remove as necessary. Install the beating halves in thei respective fits in the housing bores and check bearing con- tact area by coating the jouras Tightly with Prussian Check that approximately 90% contact length is obtained fon the centet one-third of each bearing shell. After estab- lishing bearing contact, assemble the unit. Check beating clearances by. attaching a dial indicator adjacent to the bearing and, with the stylus on the shaft, lift the shaft vertically. REPLACEMENT PARTS When ordering parts list the unit model number and seyial number on the order (refer to the unit nameplate). List 23 the jtem number and the name of the part required (refer to the assembly drawing and parts list in the Parts List section). Boarings. Joumal bearings are precision type and normally do not regulte hand scraping to At. Always order both lower and upper halves when replacing (or rebabbitting) bearings. Should scraping be required, joumal should be blued and bearings scraped for approximately 90% con- tect. Glearance. Bearing clearance shOuld nbt be exceeded by more than 0.003 on 10600 through 10900 series units and ‘by 0.005 for larger units. Gears. Geats must be replaced in sets since they are manu- factured in matched sets. is Shafts, Since Westem Gear High-Speed Gear Units are ‘manufactured to precise tolerances, the gear and shaft must be replaced as a unit, All hobbing and finish machining is performed on the low speed shaft and gear assembly after the shaft is pressed into the gear blank. If a shaft is dame- ged to the extent a new shaft remachining is required, ‘consult Western Gear. ASSEMBLY ‘The installation and fitting of bearings in preparation for assembly of the unit is important for optimum bearing life. All new bearing shells should be examined for any ‘burrs or blemishes on tho back of the shell, split-line, and bearing wetal. All edges of the back of the shell can be lightly chamfered with a will file. The edges of tlie bearing etal must be smoothed with « bearing seraper. ‘Tae housing bores must also be free of burs, raised edges, oy nicks. The shells can then be placed in the housing. All Stells are precision machined and any new half is inter- changeable with another half except that one antiowhill Shell tmstes with a plain shell for some high speed applica- tions. Anti-whia bestings may be used under eertain con- ditions. When installing theso beasngs the ant-whir groove should be positioned on the unloaded side of the bearing Units which were orginally equipped without andewhiti bearings should not have anti-whiel bearings installed with- ‘out factory approval. CAUTION: In the event antiswhirl besr- ings are used, care should be taken to in- stall them according to the ditection of shaft rotation. ‘The bearing oil dam Is designed to build pressure when the shaft is rotating towards the dam, Therefore, the shaft should be rotating toward the oil dam, Be sure that the oil groove, provided in the bearing shell, ‘comes in line with the oil channel provided in the lower half of the gear case. Install the beatings with the split-line rotated approximately 10° from the spine of the hous: ing The direction of rotation is determined by the shaft rofation and loading of the shaft a8 shown in fg. 27.

After the bearing half is in place, check between the housing bore and shell with D.001 £6 0.002 inch feeler gauge to be certain that the shell is seated. ‘Although new shells are precision machined, small high ‘spots may prohibit 2 good bearing contact. good check ‘of contact can be made by carefully polishing the shaft journals with a crocus cloth or fine emery cloth and apply: ing & light coat of Prussian Blue. NOTE: Joumals must be clean and dry before applying toe blue With the bearings in place in the housing, install the shaft and roll it several times in the bearing shell. An acceptable ‘contact will give 2 transfer to blue in the center 1/3 of the shell approximately 90% of the length. IF the contact shows high spots, these can be lightly scraped down to provide a spread of the contact. After scraping, polish the shell with fine steel wool. Take care that all steel wool particles are cleaned out of the bearing. churn, Se pr ne Bearings which bave been in service and show 9 good wear pattem with full contact and limited smount of scoring ccan be polished and replaced without checking area with blue. Before placing the gears back in the housing, flood the babbitt surfaces of the bearings with clean lubricating, oil. Use caution to prevent dirt from slings or hoist from falling on journal or bearings when lowering gear assembly ‘or pinion in place. Position the gear assembly in its proper location before installing the pinion, Recoat splitiine surfaces with non-hardening sealing compound. CAUTION: When applying sealing com- pound to splitdine, remain » minimum of Winch from the bearing’s outside surface, 24ion reo eeRERSIE Fig. 27. Bearing Installation.(Make sure sealing compound is compatible with type of oil being used.) The upper housing can now be swung into position and iowered onto the lower housing. Use caution 0 pretent the upper housing from bumping or touching ‘ears while itis being lowered into position. Locate the top of housing in relation to the lower half by inserting dowel pins. Use care when tightening the main- hold bolts to provent the upper half of the housing from shifting. (Refer to cable 8.) When fully tightened there should not be a step in the bores or on the side of the housing, Complete the assembly by bolting up covers, il lines, and accessories. Replace the inspection cover gasket when replacing the ingpection cover. Fill with lubricating oil to the level indicated und the unit is ready for operation. TILTING PAD SELF-EQUALIZING HORIZONTAL ‘THRUST BEARING END PLAY Some end play or clearance is always necessary for tilting pad hosizontal thrust bearings. This type of bearing is not easily damaged even by considerable end play; for most applications the mount of end play is not an exacting matter. Usually the nominal amount, plus or minus a few tousandths, i8 quite satisfactory. CAUTION: — Ensure bearing housing is filled with oil prior to unit stanup. Jn Western Gear units, end play is Bixed by the insertion of filler pleos or shits. These may be located Inde a hhousing Dore or under the flange of an end cover. Usually the final thickness of filer picees is obtained by grinding after all parts Rave been assembled ané the axial location of the shaft Is known.
