between 50°C and 90°C.
For roller bearing gearboxes with mineral oil lubrication, the continuous temperature of the oil bath
must not exceed 100°C as a maximum. If higher temperatures are encountered which are, for
example, due to elevated ambient temperatures or heat generated by external sources, special pre-
cautions must be taken. In such cases synthetic lubricants may be used, but consult EICKHOFF first to
have their compatibility with the provided sealings and paintings confirmed.
Ambient temperatures of less than -10°C require the use of controlled heaters and / or proper
lubricants.
The thermal capacity and the operating range of the gearbox are based on the operating details
specified in chapter 3.8 Technical Details.

 Operating Manual
Assembly and Starting - up

For Forced Lubrication Systems:

Gearboxes with forced lubrication systems have the oil pump directly flanged on to the gearbox. Oil
pumps with electrical motors of their own are used in specific applications (see spare parts drawing
contained in chapter 7.2 Spare Parts Drawings).
For Oil Heaters:
Where the order specifies an oil heater for the gearbox, the required connections have to be
established by the user in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Electrical heating elements with heating cartridges below the oil level are used as an oil heater. The
heating temperature is controlled and/or monitored by thermostats which are either integrated in the
heating element or positioned separately in the oil sump.
For Oil Coolers:
Where the order specifies integrated coolers or separate oil coolers for the gearbox, the water ports
(for fresh water which is low in calcium carbonate) must be connected according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

After Assembly
 Check the corrosion preventative and the paint of the gearbox for damages and
retouch where necessary.
 Mount a proper guard to the gearbox when the latter is exposed to heavy
contamination, dust, water, heat effects or other unfavourable environmental
effects.

5.3 Starting - up
Prior to Commissioning
The gearbox is supplied without oil but with a preservative. The preservative need not be removed
prior to commissioning as it dissolves in oil at operating temperature.
 Fill the gearbox with the specified oil (see chapter 6.3 Changing the Gear Oil).
 The greasing points of the gearbox are already packed with the specified
grease quantity and quality ex works (see chapter 7.4 Table of Lubricants).
 Make sure that the gearbox is only run in the permissible direction of rotation.
 Check the gearbox for proper assembly.
 Secure rotating parts (such as couplings, shafts, brakes)
 Before pressurizing the hydraulic motor make sure that the multiple disk holding
brake, if any, is vented hydraulically.

For Forced Lubrication Systems:

Hint
For adjusting the monitoring and control devices, see the operating instructions of the
manufacturer.

 Operating Manual
Assembly and Starting - up

 For oil pumps with electrical motors of their own: Start the pump motor prior to
starting the main motor to ensure an adequate lubrication of the gearbox.
 Take care that an adequate oil pressure from 0.5 to 4 bar is applied at operating
temperature. A pressure gauge, contact making pressure gauge, pressure
monitor or flow switch is provided for monitoring depending upon the order
specifications.

For Oil Coolers:

 Take care that the water pressure does not exceed the pressure specified in
chapter 3.8 Technical Details.

For Oil Heaters:

 Warm up the gear oil to not less than +5°C at lower ambient temperatures. This
also applies to additional oil tanks, if any.

During the Running - in Period

 Increase the load of the gearbox gradually until the full load is reached after a
number of hours.
 Check the oil and bearing temperatures permanently during the running - in
period.

6 Maintenance

6.1 Safety Instructions

Danger
Danger caused by inexpert work on and with the gearbox

Maintenance of the gearbox must be carried out by authorized skilled personnel
only.

Do not remove any safety devices (such as guards for rotating parts) from the
gearbox which serve for the prevention or elimination of dangers. Where safety
devices have to be removed for maintenance after all, they must be refitted
immediately upon completion of the work and checked for proper operation.

Bolted connections separated for maintenance must always be firmly
retightened and secured with Loctite.

Attention
Danger to the gearbox caused by strewn tools or other objects
Following maintenance see for yourself that no tools or other objects, which are
foreign to the system, are within the functional reach of the safety devices of the
gearbox.

Attention
Damages to the gearbox due to contamination
Proper operation and the service life of the gearbox as a whole are affected when
contaminants penetrate into the oil circuit. Therefore pay attention during maintenance
of the gearbox that no fibres of cleaning rags, sand or foreign material enter the
oil circuit.

Note
Damages to the gearbox due to inexpert cleaning

Clean the gearbox from oil or contamination before starting maintenance.

Do not use any aggressive detergents.

Use only non - fraying cleaning rags.

Do not clean the oil filling area or the elastic shaft seals by means of a high
pressure cleaner.

 Operating Manual
Safety Instructions

Note
Make sure throughout the maintenance that

all bolts and nuts are tightened to the specified torques and secured with
Loctite "LV" and

internal bolts are secured with Loctite "SV".

The bolts must be cleaned and reinserted with Loctite (see chapter 7.5 Use of Loctite)
after every disassembly.

Hint
Genuine O.E.M. spares as itemized in the pertinent spare parts list shall be used
exclusively for component changes (see chapter 7.3 Spare Parts Lists).

Hint
Do not open the gearbox during the warranty period without the explicit prior
consent of EICKHOFF. Unauthorized repairs which are carried out within this period
will invalidate the warranty.

Note
Danger to the environment caused by inexpert waste disposal
All operating fluids, consumables and replacement parts must be disposed of in a
safe and environmentally protective manner in accordance with the applicable
environmental rules and regulations.

6.3 Changing the Gear Oil

Using Mineral Oil :

Recommended Intervals for Mineral Oil Changes

First oil change after 300 – 500 hours of operation or after one month
at the latest
All further oil changes after 12 months
Guidelines for further oil changes as a function of the up to 70 °C every 8 000 hours of operation
operating temperature
up to 80 °C every 5 000 hours of operation
up to 90 °C every 3 000 hours of operation
up to 100 °C every 2 000 hours of operation

The gear oil must be drained completely and replaced by new oil on the expiry of the oil change
interval.
The table of lubricants contained in chapter 7.4 Table of Lubricants details a number of different gear
oils as recommended by the respective producers. Equivalent premium oils of other producers may be
used as well.

Using Synthetic Oil :

When using synthetic oil according to chapter 3.8 Technical Details you may follow the
Recommended Intervals for Mineral Oil Changes (see table above).
A regular oil sample analysis (six month interval at the latest) may extend the oil change intervals
depending on the result of the analysis.

Oil Change Procedure :

Depending on the design of the gearbox, the oil is filled either through

the hole of the breather or

the hole(s) of the marked vent screw(s) or

the hole of the inspection hole cover

Attention
Danger of burning parts of one's body on hot components or operating fluids
The oil bath temperatures attained may be as high as 90°C with the consequence
that also the gearbox components may be subject to a strong rise in temperature.
Wear safety gloves where necessary when implementing the oil change.

 Operating Manual
Safety Instructions

Attention
Damages to the gearbox due to contamination
Proper operation and the service life of the gearbox as a whole are affected
when contaminants penetrate into the oil circuit. Therefore pay attention during
maintenance of the gearbox that no fibres of cleaning rags, sand or foreign material
enter the oil circuit.

 Remove the vent screw from the gearbox.

 Put an amply dimensioned collecting pan under the oil drain plug of the gearbox
(for the oil volume see chapter 3.8 Technical Details).

Hint
When unscrewing, you should firmly hold onto the oil drain plug with seal to prevent
the oil drain plug from falling into the collecting pan.

 Unscrew the oil drain plug with seal from the gear housing.
 Drain the oil at operating temperature.
 Clean the magnets of the oil drain plug and vent screw after having drained the
gear oil.
 Screw the oil drain plug into the gearbox.

Hint
The correct oil level is reached with the gearbox being stopped and in the
horizontal mounting position, when the oil level has risen up to the mark of the
oil level indicator, up to the lower edge of the oil level hole or up to a point
between the marks on the dip rod. Consult EICKHOFF before selecting another
mounting position. If the acknowledgement of order confirms an oblique
mounting position of the gearbox, the check marks will be provided accordingly
on the oil level indicator.

 Fill the gearbox with the oil specified on the gearbox rating plate (see also
chapter 3.8 Technical Details). Observe the oil level indicator during filling. If the
actual oil level is above the specified level, the oil will heat up additionally and
show a tendency towards foaming.

 Screw the vent screw into the gearbox.

Note
If you remove the inspection hole cover for the oil filling, do not forget to reinsert it
with a new jointing compound.

has to be flush with shaft end. Place ring item 17 on the hub only after it cools down in
order to avoid damage of the seal item 15.

7.- Allow the hub cools down before installing the sleeve item 2

8.- Install the sleeve item 3 on hubs item 4 and item 29.

9.- Install machines in place.

3.- Alignment

The better the alignment the longer the coupling life. This is true except that a slight angular
misalignment (0.05º) is always advisable in order to have good lubrication conditions. Despite
this image, in this case you must use the following surfaces to make the alignment: For the left
side hub (nº 1), the same place must be used. For the right side one, instead of the hub, the
external diameter of part number 5 or 4 must be used, as there is no place to use number 36. It
is absolutely valid to do it this way.

a) Check the angular alignment

Place a dial indicator and measure the distance Y-Z where Y is the maximum reading
and Z is the minimum reading as shown in the drawing. The existing Y-Z should be less
than the Y-Z value mentioned in the tables below.

b) Check the offset alignment

Attach a dial indicator bracket to hub item 4 with dial indicator probe contacting the opposite hub
item 1 alignment surface. Rotate the hub on which the dial indicator is attached, and take
readings at 4 points 90º apart. The offset should be less than X value mentioned in the tables
below.

4.- Lubrication.

Once the coupling has been aligned it has to be lubricated. The coupling must be
lubricated before operation. Couplings are supplied originally with protective grease
but not with lubricating grease. Remove this protective grease and use the proper ones
mentioned below.

Lubrication has to be performed both at the gear-mesh as well at the bearings. Different
quantities and grease qualities are needed at each place.

a) Lubrication of the gear-mesh:

Before bolting the sleeves , approx. 70% of the grease quantity shall be hand packed
between the hub and sleeve teeth and surrounding area. After tightening the sleeve bolts
the remaining 30% of the grease shall be pumped into the sleeve lubrication holes item
14. For this purpose both lubes at 180º must be removed in order to vent the interior ; an
air lock can result in incomplete filling or in damage of the seals. After lubrication ,
tigthen the lube plugs to the specified torque :

- Angular misalignment less than 35’.
- Coupling surface temperature lower than 70ºC ( ºF)
- Speed between 40-3000 rpm
- No big shock loads, No big reversing loads.
- Good sealing conditions. No severe environment

The following greases can be used :

- Coupling grease KP 0/1 K-30 from TEXACO
- Mobilgrease XTC from MOBIL
- Unirex RS 460 or Pen-0-Led from EXXON
- Hi-Speed coupling grease from EXXON
- Albida GC1 from SHELL

If such greases cannot be found , alternative greases should comply with the following :

- Base oil viscosity : Higher than 500CST at 40ºC (ºF) and higher than 40CST at
100ºC(ºF)
- Consistency following NLGI : between 0 and 1
- Thickener content ( Metallic soap ) : Less than 8%
- Drop point : Higher than 120ºC (ºF)
- Heavy additive: The less the better
- EP additive: Advisable
- Oxidation inhibitors: Required

If working conditions differ substantially from the conditions above please consult our
technical department

b) Lubrication of the bearings.

The purpose of lubricating the bearings is to have a good rotating surface whenever the
shear pins might break. Therefore the grease to be used in this area is minimum.

Grease shall be pumped at fitting item 20.

The type of grease to be used should be an EP-2 grease.

For grease quantities to be used please see below :

Coupling size Grease quantity Grease quantity

instruction refering to coupling preparation for assembly.

2.- Remove the hubs from their shafts using the pulling holes

7- Replacement of the shear pins

In case of a shear pin failure , the machine has to be inmediatelly stopped.

The metallic wire that joins the different pins has to be removed to allow the installation
of new pins.

The different pins in each coupling type are shown below :

- MNBR-150 = MTBR-145 = MTNBR-145

- MNBR-210 = MTBR-165 = MTNBR-165
- MNBR-325 = MTBR-185 = MTNBR-185
- MNBR-430 = MTBR-205 = MTNBR-205
- MNBR-600 = MTBR-230 = MTNBR-230

Preparation of the Surface

Hint
The lightly oiled surfaces need not be cleaned.

Application of the Adhesive

 Apply the adhesive to one contact surface only (preferably to that of the bolt
thread). Be careful to treat the overall thread length.

For threaded blind holes:

 It is of paramount importance that the adhesive be applied to the bottom of the
threaded hole. The quantity of the adhesive shall be selected so that the
displaced adhesive fills the overall thread length after assembly.
 When screwing the bolt in, screw it back by a number of turns so that the
entrapped compressed air can escape.
