Mounting to valve
AUMA worm gearboxes GS and primary reduction gearings VZ/GZ can be
operated in any mounting position.
.
For butterfly valves, the recommended mounting position is end position
CLOSED
(Prior to mounting, bring the gearbox to the mechanical end stop CLOSED by
turning the handwheel clockwise).
.
For ball valves, the recommended mounting position is end position OPEN
(Prior to mounting, bring the gearbox to the mechanical end stop OPEN by
turning the handwheel counterclockwise).
.
Alternatively, the limit stop housing can be turned up to the end position of the
respective valve.
.
Thoroughly degrease mounting faces of gearbox and valve.
.
Place coupling sleeve onto valve shaft and secure (refer to figure C, detail A or B),
ensure that dimensions X, Y, and Z are observed (refer to table 2).
.
Apply non-acidic grease at splines of coupling.
.
Mount gearbox on valve. Ensure that the spigot (if provided) mates uniformly in the
recess and that the mounting faces are in complete contact.
.
Fasten gearbox with bolts (quality min. 8.8) and lock washers.
.
Fasten bolts crosswise with a torque according to table 2.
Note:
Experience showed that it is very difficult to fasten bolts or nuts of 1-8 UNC or
larger with the defined torques. The worm gearbox may be moved radially against
the valve flange by accident.
To improve adhesion between valve and gearbox, we recommend to apply
Loctite 243 (or similar products) on mounting faces.
