Chapter 3: Safety
All millMAX™ pumps are designed for safe and long-term reliable operation. A pump is a
pressure-containing device that has rotating parts, which may possess many possible
hazards. It is recommended that the millMAX™ pump only be serviced by qualified
personnel such as Operators and Maintenance personnel who recognize the possible
hazards that can be encountered while performing service on a pump.
3.1 Safety precautions

Damage or destruction to pump components, and Personal Injuries including possible
loss of limb or life, may be a result of not following the precautions outlined below.
x Caution must be made that the motor rotation is correct for pump rotation. Starting of the
motor with incorrect rotation may cause the impeller to unthread from pump shaft and
rupture the casing, which may cause personal injury. With the pump disconnected from
the motor, verify that the motor rotation is correct as per section 5.2.
x Never operate a pump without the drive guard or safety devices properly installed.
x Always perform a lockout / tag-out of the power when drive guards are removed, or
disassembly maintenance is being performed.
x Never operate the millMAX™ pump with the suction or discharge valves closed.
x Never apply heat to Impeller for disassembly from pump shaft, as there is risk of the
Impeller exploding from trapped liquid, which could cause serious injury.
x Never lift from a single point. Lifting lugs, and tapped holes (for eyebolts) are intended for
lifting only individual parts and must not be used to lift the entire pump assembly.
x Do not thermal shock the millMAX™ pump by feeding with very hot or cold liquids.
Thermal shock will cause damage to internal components, and may rupture the pump
case.
Contents 9
Chapter 4: Installation at site

4.1 Foundations
x Prior to the installation of a pump it is necessary that a proper foundation be in place. The
foundation is necessary to support and anchor the pump from all pumping and motor loads
and to absorb vibration during start-up and while running.
x The proper foundation may consist of concrete or steel, and should be rugged and heavy
to maintain continuous pump service.
4.2 Leveling the baseplate

1. Place the base plate onto the foundation.
2. Prior to securing the base plate by anchor bolting, it maybe necessary to level the base
plate on its foundation by using shims consisting of iron or steel.
• If shims are necessary, place them at close intervals under the baseplate.
4.3 Anchor bolting

1. All hold down and anchor-bolting locations should be used and fully tightened before
commissioning the pump.
• If anchoring to a concrete foundation, ensure that the mortar has set.
2. Once the anchor bolts are in place, firmly tighten all of the bolts evenly.
4.4 Aligning the pump with gear reducer and motor

x It is important that the pump shaft be properly aligned with the gear reducer and motor.
Misaligned components will damage couplings and bearings and will cause unnecessary
vibrations.
4.5 Connecting the piping

x It is important that the piping is the correct size, properly fitted, and supported, so no
strain or reaction forces are imposed onto the pump.
x It is recommended that a removable section of pipe of sufficient length be placed onto the
suction side of the pump. This will facilitate easier removal of the pump impeller, when
replacing worn parts.
Contents 10
Chapter 5: Commissioning
Before starting your millMAX™ pump for the first time, make sure that the following
steps are taken:
5.1 Auxiliary connections

x Make sure the motor is properly connected to the appropriate electrical power supply, and
that connections conform to the local regulations.
x Make sure that the auxiliary power connections are connected, functioning, and in the off
position.
5.2 Motor rotation check

It is important to verify that the motor rotation is correct, and this verification is
performed with the motor disconnected from the pump. Incorrect motor rotation can be
a result of improper wire connections.
Caution must be made that the motor rotation is correct for pump rotation. Starting the
motor with incorrect rotation may cause the impeller to unthread from pump shaft and
rupture the casing, which may cause personal injury. With the pump disconnected from
the motor, verify that the motor rotation is correct.
1. With the electrical controls in the off, locked-out, and tagged-out position, make sure the
motor and pump rotate freely by hand.
2. Disconnect the shaft coupling at the pump.
3. Remove electrical locks and tags. Start the motor, to verify the motor rotation is correct.
If it’s not correct, re-connect motor wiring as necessary.
4. Re-install electrical locks and tags. Re-install shaft coupling, and maintain shaft
alignment.
5.3 Lubrication
Bearing assemblies lubricated with grease are pre-lubricated at the factory. Additional
grease at start-up should not be necessary. The grease nipples on the bearing housing
end covers lubricate the seal and flinger area to provide a grease barrier that prevents
contamination of slurry and/or gland water to the bearings. These should be greased
frequently so that clean grease exudes from the rim of the flinger. It is not possible to
over grease this area. Use a N.L.G.I. Grade 2 grease with extreme pressure additives,
oil viscosity of ISO 150-220, and a minimum dropping point of 177°C (350°F).
Suggested brands are:

LPS Thermaplex Multi-Purpose
5.4 Shaft seal check

WATER FLUSH SEAL
For water flush sealed pumps, gland water supply needs to be connected to the Ø1-1/4”
BSP, DIN, or NPT sealing water port on the stuffing box.
Gland water must be clean, free from sand, rust, etc… as these abrasive particles will
greatly reduce the wear life of the shaft sleeve. The gland water should be available at a
pressure of 70kPa (10 psi) maximum above the discharge pressure of the pump.
Maximum recommended flow rate should be 3.4 l/sec (55gpm).
The gland water should be pressure controlled, not flow controlled. The amount of gland
water flow should be adjusted to the minimum required to provide cooling. This will
often result in flow rates much lower than the ones listed above. The gland follower
should be adjusted enough to allow a small flow of gland water along the shaft while the
pump is running.
Contents 12
Chapter 6: Start-up
6.1 Pump start-up procedure
Whenever possible, the pump should be started up on water before slurry or solids are
introduced into the feed.
1. Fully open the inlet valve and ensure that water is available at the pump inlet.
2. Check that the gland water system is operating and that gland water is available at the
correct pressure and flow rate.
3. When the pump is running check the gland water leakage.
• If leakage is excessive the gland screws should be tightened to reduce the flow to
the required level.
• If the gland shows signs of heating the gland screws should be loosened slightly.
• If the gland continues to heat up to the extent that steam and/or smoke is
emitted, the pump must be stopped and the gland allowed to cool down before re-
starting.
4. Adjust the Casing Wear Ring.
The wear ring (25) must be adjusted on initial start up as this critical clearance can only be
set while the pump is operating.
CAUTION
Over adjustment will give increased grinding and wear on mating
faces of impeller and wear ring with a corresponding reduction in
life.
5. The Wear Ring Screws (31) should be tightened clockwise two flats each, until contact /
rubbing resistance is felt at ALL of the Wear Ring Screws.
NOTE: This will occur when the Wear Ring contacts the Impeller, and the Wear Ring
Screws are evenly adjusted.
6. Loosen each Wear Ring Screw by three flats each (or just enough that no rubbing is felt).
This will set the optimum clearance. It is important to loosen the wear ring screws the
same amount to maintain parallelism between the impeller and wear ring faces.
• If pressure gauges are available, check the suction and discharge pressures.
NOTE: changes in these pressures can be used as a guideline or indicator for

maintenance adjustment of the Wear Ring.
Contents 13
Chapter 7: Shut-down
7.1 Pump shut-down procedure
1. Before shutting down the pump, the pump should be allowed to run for a short period of
time on clean water, to remove the solids from the pump and clear the system.
• If a drain valve is fitted in the suction line this should be left open while the pump
is out of use.
• If the pump is to be taken out of service for some time, check Chapter 8 for
correct storage procedure.
Contents 14
Chapter 8: Pump storage

8.1 Handling of rubber components
x Avoid storage conditions in temperatures above 38°C (100°F). Moist air in absence of
sunlight is most desirable.
x Do not handle or allow covered products to bump other items when temperatures are
below 0°C (32°F).
x Do not allow rubber covered items to come in contact with oils, solvents, gasoline,
lubricating oils, napthas, lacquer products, toluol, benzene, coal tars, etc.
x Do not store in direct sunlight. In emergencies, cover products with tarpaulins.
x Do not store near electrical equipment, operating motors, transformers and power centers.
Ozone deteriorates rubber very rapidly.
x Do not attach slings or any lifting device directly against any rubber covered surfaces.
Cushion or pad lifting devices with burlap or wood.
x Do not permit covered products to be bumped or struck by sharp items, which will bruise
or pierce rubber, allowing corrosive solutions to penetrate.
x Do not stack covered products without proper support for each item. Permanent
deformation will result.
8.2 Short term storage (18 months or less)

x It is recommended that a pump be stored indoors, in a dry location, and protected from
extreme temperatures.
x Rotate the shaft several times once a month.
x Protect all external machined surfaces with a removable rust preventative coating.
x Cover the suction and discharge connections, unless connected to piping.
x For outdoor storage, cover the pump with a weatherproof tarpaulin that will allow
circulation of air.
x Prior to start-up ensure the pump and its components are in a satisfactory condition.
8.3 Long term storage (19-36 months)

x Ensure that pump is drained of any water.
x Indoors, dry location is required.
x Protected from extreme temperatures.
x Rotate the shaft several times once a month.
Contents 15
x Protect all external machined surfaces with a removable rust preventative coating.
x Once every 6 months purge bearings with grease, to prevent bearing from being
contaminated from dirt and moisture.
x Cover the suction and discharge connections, unless connected to piping.
x For outdoor storage, cover the pump with a weatherproof tarpaulin that will allow
circulation of air.
x Prior to start-up, replace the gland packing, and ensure the pump and its components are
in a satisfactory condition.

Chapter 9: Assembly of quick release power frame

9.1 Bearing assembly
Refer to the appropriate parts list drawing for the power frame supplied with this
manual.
The quick release shaft (7) has a flange on the impeller end and the bearings must be
installed and removed from the drive end only. A fixture must be fabricated to hold the
shaft in a vertical position with the flanged end down. Refer to Figure 1 below.
1. Ensure the shaft is clean and free from burrs or other damage and coat the shaft with oil
from the locknut threads to the face of the shaft near the flange that has a hole drilled in
it.
2. Install the drive pin (25) in the hole in the impeller end flinger (10).
3. Install the impeller end flinger (10) drive pin end first by sliding down the shaft until it
comes flush with the raised shoulder of the shaft and the drive pin goes in the hole in the
shaft.
4. Check with a feeler gauge to ensure the flinger is completely flush with the shaft shoulder.
5. Install lip seal (19) in counter bore of impeller end cover (8) with open end of seal facing
up (side with part number stenciled on goes in first).
6. Install grease nipple (28) in end cover.
7. Install the impeller end cover by sliding down shaft until contacting the impeller end
flinger.
8. Firmly continue to push the end cover to drive the seal over the tapered OD of the impeller
end flinger and bring the end cover completely down until the outer face contacts the outer
face of the impeller end flinger.
9. The installation of the impeller end bearing (17) is next.
Contents 17
10. This bearing is an assembly bearing with two cups, two cones, and an inner and outer
spacer.
NOTE: Impeller end bearings are provided with spacers and are preset assemblies. The
spacers are furnished to size for each bearing assembly to provide the correct fitted end
play. Components are NOT interchangeable with similar assemblies. Each component bears
an identifying serial number engraved on it. All parts with the same serial number must be
kept together. The cups and cones should be further identified with a match number (like
“A” or “B”). During installation the cones must be matched to the cups. It is the fitment
between the cones and cups that determine the bearing inner and outer spacer width, and
in turn the final end play of the assembly. It is critical that matching numbers are closely
observed. Care must be taken to ensure that all the individual bearing components are
flush with each other during installation to ensure the proper endplay. Lengths of pipe or
tubing secured with a bearing lock nut on the shaft lock nut threads will accomplish this.
The impeller end bearing will require about 2400 grams (84 ounces) of grease. This should
be divided between the two cones in the assembly. See section 5.3 for grease
specifications.
11. Preheat one cone of impeller end bearing and fit with large diameter against the impeller
end flinger.
12. Preheat should not exceed 99° C (210° F).
FLSmidth Krebs suggests using an induction bearing heater or oven to heat the bearings.
Do not use a torch as this may alter the metallurgy of the bearing races.
13. Ensure that there is no gap between this cone and the impeller end flinger.
14. Manually work recommended grease into the bearing cone filling the gaps between the
rollers and cage and the gaps between each roller.
15. Install the matching cup and rotate it to settle the rollers on the cone in place.
16. Fit the inner and outer spacers.
17. Install the remaining cup upside down from the first cup.
18. Preheat the remaining cone and fit with smaller end of the bearing against spacer.
19. Ensure that there is no gap between this cone and the inner spacer.
20. Using clean gloves, rotate the cone to settle the rollers while the clamp is being put in
place.
21. Manually work recommended grease into this bearing cone filling the gaps between the
rollers and cage and the gaps between each roller.
22. Install the bearing spacer (27) by sliding over the shaft until it is flush with the inner race
of the last bearing cone installed.
No heating is required.
23. Preheat inner race of drive end bearing (18) and fit to drive end of shaft against bearing
spacer.
24. Preheat should not exceed 99° C (210° F).
Contents 18
25. Ensure that there is no gap between the bearing spacer and the inner race of the drive end
bearing.
26. Install grease nipples (14) and lifting eyes (23) in tapped holes in bearing housing (6).
27. Apply light oil to the drive end bore of the bearing housing (6).
28. Stand housing with drive end up.
This end has a smaller bearing bore.
29. Fit outer race and rollers of drive end bearing (18) into bearing housing bore and evenly
tap it with a soft hammer to seat against housing shoulder.
This is a slip fit.
30. Manually work recommended grease into drive end bearing in housing, applying a liberal
amount between rollers and outer race.
This bearing will require about 800 grams (28 ounces) of grease.
31. Install lip seal (19) in counter bore of drive end cover (9) with open end of seal facing up
(side with part number stenciled on goes in first).
32. Install grease nipple (28) in drive end cover.
33. Apply a 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) bead of silicone to the drive end face of the bearing housing
using a wavy pattern between the tapped holes.
34. Fit drive end cover (9) in bearing housing, aligning the holes and the slots at 6:00 and
12:00.
35. Insert end cover screws (15) and washers (16) and tighten evenly. Refer to Figure 2.
36. Place bearing housing on a spacer with fitted drive end cover down.
The spacer should be large enough on the OD to rest the drive end foot and large enough
on the ID for the drive end OD of the bearing housing to pass through. The spacer should
be at least 559 mm (22 inches) long.
Contents 19
37. Apply light oil to housing bore.
38. Apply a 1/16 inch bead of silicone to the impeller end face of the bearing housing using a
wavy pattern between the tapped holes.
39. Thread a lifting eye (M20x2.5) into tapped hole in drive end of shaft and lift shaft out of
holding fixture.
40. Lay shaft down on a clean surface and remove lifting eye from drive end to the tapped
hole in the impeller end of shaft.
41. Lift shaft above housing and lower carefully into housing bore until impeller end bearing
rests against the bearing housing shoulder.
42. Align the holes in the impeller end cover with the tapped holes in the bearing housing and
the slots in the end cover at 6:00 and 12:00.
43. Make sure grease nipple is oriented for easy access.
44. Insert end cover screws (15) and washers (16) and tighten evenly.
Refer to Figure 3.
Contents 20
45. Attach a dial indicator to the assembly so the relative movement between the shaft and
the housing can be measured.
It is suggested that a dial indicator with a magnetic base be mounted to the bearing
housing and the stem of the dial indicator positioned on top of the shaft. Refer to Figure 4.
46. To check the endplay, move the shaft up and down by lifting the whole assembly off the
spacer, then lowering it back onto the spacer.
47. Observe the total indicator movements after trying several times to stabilize the readings.
48. The shaft should be rotated several times before each check to properly seat the rollers on
the impeller bearing.
Contents 21
49. The fitted endplay should be between .13-.25 mm (.005-.010 inch).
• If the total movement is outside these limits, review the assembly procedure.
More often the total endplay is excessive and can be traced to gaps between
bearing components or the shaft shoulder.
50. Disassemble the unit, press the bearings further on the shaft if there are gaps, and
reassemble.
• If endplay is less than the minimum, which is unlikely, ensure you are exerting
sufficient force on the shaft and rotate the shaft between checks to properly settle
the rollers.
• If there is no change, the bearing spacers must be checked for proper match
numbers. Replace the entire bearing set if endplay remains under the minimum
required.
51. Lift shaft and bearing assembly off spacer and set down horizontally.
52. Fit drive end flinger (11) over drive end of shaft and through end cover (9).
53. Tap with a soft hammer until flinger is in contact with drive end bearing inner race.
54. Thread one bearing lock nut (12) flat end first on drive end shaft threads and tighten
firmly against drive end flinger.
55. Fit bearing lock washer (13) flat end first on drive end of shaft, aligning the inner tab with
the keyway and against lock nut.
56. Thread second bearing lock nut with chamfered end first on drive end shaft threads and
tighten firmly to ensure no gaps are between both lock nut and the lock washer.

Refer to figure below.
1. Install the stub shaft (1) by holding it with a nylon strap horizontally and aligning the
keyway and holes with the key and through holes of the main shaft (2) in the power
frame.
2. The bolts (3) and nuts (4) used to hold the stub shaft to the main shaft have integral
flanges and do not require washers.
These fasteners are specially made for this application and should be the only fasteners
ever used. FLSmidth Krebs supplies these fasteners and replacements should be ordered
by consulting the power frame parts list drawing for the correct part number.
3. Lubricate bolt threads and the flange flat surface (3) with anti-seize compound and insert
them through the flange holes of the stub shaft and through the flange holes of the main
shaft.
4. Lubricate the flange flat surface of the nuts with anti-seize compound and thread onto the

• If resistance is felt, raise or lower impeller slightly.
5. Rotate until tight.
6. Ensure that all sleeve components are rotating with impeller when tight.
7. It is important that the impeller is located tightly.
• If it is not, on start-up the initial torque will further screw on the impeller, and
alter the adjustment of the impeller relative to the suction liner.
• If the impeller fouls against the backliner during installation, adjust the bearing
assembly forward to free it.
8. Rotate shaft until drive key on rebuild shaft and keyway in stub shaft are in a vertical
position running from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock.

Chapter 11: Maintenance

11.1 Routine maintenance
Routine maintenance is carried out to prolong the life of the pump parts and to maintain
pump performance to sustain the efficiency of the plant operation.
Critical maintenance is adjustment of impeller running clearances.
11.2 Suction liner wear ring adjustment

1. The Wear Ring (25) must be adjusted on initial start up (see Section 7 for Start-Up
instructions) and adjustment of this critical clearance should be carried out every two to
four weeks, but may vary depending on the pumping application.
2. The adjustment should be carried out when the pump is operating.
CAUTION
Over adjustment will give increased grinding and wear on mating faces
of Impeller and Wear Ring, with a corresponding reduction in life.
3. Loosen the wear ring stud nuts (31C) so the wear ring can be moved toward the impeller.
4. The Wear Ring Screws (31) should be tightened clockwise two flats each, until contact /
rubbing resistance is felt at ALL of the Wear Ring Screws.
NOTE: This will occur when the Wear Ring contacts the Impeller, and the Wear Ring
Screws are evenly adjusted.
5. Then loosen each Wear Ring Screw by three flats each (or just enough that no rubbing is
felt).
This will set the optimum clearance. It is important to loosen the wear ring screws the
same amount to maintain parallelism between the impeller and wear ring faces.
6. Tighten the wear ring stud nuts (31C).
11.3 Gland seal adjustment

Gland packing should be adjusted, such that a small flow of gland water along the shaft
is obtained while the pump is running.
(For additional information refer to Section 5.4)
11.4 Bearing lubrication

FLSmidth Krebs millMAX™ pump bearings are designed to provide years of service
before failure. The most common reason bearings do not reach their design service life is
because of contamination, not from the loads they experience. One of the features
Contents 29
designed into FLSmidth Krebs millMAX™ bearing assemblies is the ability to grease the
impeller end bearing without danger of over greasing. This bearing takes almost all the
load from the pump and should be greased twice as frequently as the drive end bearing.
The impeller end bearing is configured in such a way as to allow excess grease applied to
pass through the bearing in two directions. One towards the end cover and eventually to
the outside of the bearing assembly and the other towards the large reservoir in the
center of the bearing housing. The drive end bearing is a cylindrical roller bearing and
cannot expel excess grease as easily. This bearing should be greased about half as
frequently as the impeller end bearing. The seals in the end covers are oriented to allow
the grease to pass through and retard the entrance of contaminants.
Because of the many variations of speeds and environments bearings are exposed to, it
is difficult to provide a “cut and dried” lubrication schedule. The table on the next page
will provide a suggestion as to the amount and frequency of bearing lubrication. Please
note that the use of this table does not warrant neglecting the bearings completely.
Judgment and experience gained by observing the bearings frequently at the outset of
operation, taking careful note of conditions regarding temperature and cleanliness should
be the final determining factors in establishing routine lubrication procedures.

NOTE: One shot from a standard grease gun is approximately one gram.
Operating hours
This chart is based on bearing operating temperatures of 70°C (160°F). The lubrication
intervals should be reduced by half for operating temperatures greater than 70°C
(160°f). Consult FLSmidth Krebs for speeds greater than those listed in the chart above
for synthetic grease lubricants.
There is no substitute for establishing base line readings after startup like vibration and
temperature and then monitoring them routinely for changes in these readings to
indicate a need for attention to the bearings.
The grease nipples located on the bearing housing are for lubrication of the bearings.
The grease nipples fitted to the bearing housing end covers are for lubrication of the lip
seal and flinger area and provide a grease barrier to prevent ingress of slurry and/or
gland water to the bearings. These should be greased daily so that clean grease exudes
from the rim of the flinger. It is not possible to over grease this area.
For dirty environments that are commonly found in coal applications, or in the event of
an excessively leaking gland seal, the frequency of lubrication should be halved no
Contents 30
matter what the bearing operating temperature. The impeller end lip seal should be
greased twice a day. The thought should always be “more is better than less”.
Please see Section 5.3 for grease specifications and suggested brands.
New bearing assemblies are pre-lubricated at the factory. Additional grease at start-up
should not be necessary.

1. FOREWORD
The installation, operation and maintenance of the motor must be always performed by qualified
personnel using proper tools and methods and following the instructions contained in the
documents supplied with the motor.
The instructions presented in this document are valid for WEG motors with the following characteristics:
Three-phase and single-phase induction motors (squirrel cage rotor);
J
Three-phase permanent magnet motors;

J
Three-phase hybrid motors (squirrel cage rotor + permanent magnets);

J
The objective of this manual is to provide important information, which must be considered during the
shipment, storage, installation, operation and maintenance of WEG motors. Therefore, we advise to make
a careful and detailed study of the instructions contained herein before performing any procedures on
the motor. The noncompliance with the instructions informed in this manual and others mentioned on the
website www.weg.net voids the product warranty and may cause serious personal injuries and material
damages.
Electric motors have energized circuits and exposed rotating parts which may cause injuries to
people.
2. SHIPMENT, STORAGE AND HANDLING

Check the conditions of the motor immediately upon receipt. When any damage is noticed, this must be
reported in writing to the transportation company, and immediately communicated to the insurance company
and to WEG. In this case, no installation job can be started before the detected problem has been solved.
Check if the nameplate data matches the invoice data and the environmental conditions in which the motor
will be installed. If the motor is not immediately installed, it must be stored in a clean and dry room protected
against dust, vibrations, gases and corrosive agents, and with relative humidity not exceeding 60%.
In order to prevent water condensation within the motor during the storage period, it is recommended to
keep the space heater ON (where provided). In order to prevent oxidation of the bearings and ensure an even
distribution of the lubricant, rotate the motor shaft at least once a month (at least five turns), always leaving
it in a different position. For bearings with oil mist lubrication systems, the motor must be stored horizontally,
independently from the mounting configuration, with ISO VG 68 oil in the bearing, (the amount is indicated in
the motor manual available on the website www.weg.net) and the shaft must be turned weekly. If the motors
are stored for more than two years, it is recommended to change the bearings, or to remove, wash, inspect
and relubricate them before the motor is started. After this storage period, it is also recommended to change
the start capacitors of single-phase motors since they loss their operating characteristics.
Handle the motor always carefully in order to prevent impacts and damages to the bearings and
always install the shaft transportation/locking device (if supplied) when transporting the motor.
Use only the eyebolts to lift the motor. However these eyebolts are designed for the motor
weight only. Thus never use these eyebolts to lift the motor with additional loads coupled to it. The
lifting eyebolts of the terminal box, fan cover, etc., are intended to handle only these parts when
disassembled from the motor. Additional information regarding the maximum allowable angle-of-
inclination is indicated in the general manual available on the website www.weg.net.
Periodically and mainly before the initial star-up, measure the insulation resistance of the motor winding.
Check the recommended values and the measuring procedures in the website.
3. INSTALLATION
During the installation, the motors must be protected against accidental energization.
Check the motor direction of rotation, turning it without load before it is coupled to the
load.
Motors must be only installed in places compatible with their mounting features and in applications and
environments for which they are intended.
Those motors with feet must be installed on bases duly planned in order to prevent vibrations and assure
93

perfect alignment. The motor shaft must be properly aligned with the shaft of the driven machine. Incorrect
alignment, as well as improper belt tension, will certainly damage the bearings, resulting in excessive
vibrations and even causing the shaft to rupture. The admissible shaft radial and axial loads indicated in the
general manual of the website must be respected. Use flexible coupling whenever possible.
When motors are fitted with oil lubricated bearings or oil mist lubrication systems, connect the cooling and
lubrication tubes (where provided). Only remove the corrosion protection grease from the shaft end and
flange immediately before the motor installation.
Unless specified otherwise in the purchase order, WEG motors are dynamically balanced with “half key” and
without load (uncoupled). The driving elements, such as pulleys, couplings, etc., must be balanced with
“half key” before they are mounted on the shaft of the motors.
Observe the correct assembly position of the drains as indicated in the manual on the website www.weg.
net.
Do not cover and block the motor ventilation openings. Ensure a minimum clearance of
¼ (25%) of the diameter of the air intake of the fan cover from the walls. The air used for
cooling the motor must be at ambient temperature, limited to the temperature indicated on
the motor nameplate.
Motors installed outdoors or in the vertical position require the use of additional shelter to
protect them from water; for instance, use of a drip cover.
To prevent accidents, ensure that the grounding connection has been performed according
to the applicable standards and that the shaft key has been securely fastened before the
motor is started.
Connect the motor properly to the power supply by means of safe and permanent
contacts, always considering the data informed on the nameplate, such as rated voltage,
wiring diagram, etc.
For power cables, switching and protection devices dimensioning, consider the rated motor current, the
service factor, and the cable length, among others. For motors without terminal block, insulate the motor
terminal cables by using insulating materials that are compatible with the insulation class informed on the
nameplate. The minimum insulation distance between the non-insulated live parts themselves and between
live parts and the grounding must be: 5.5 mm for rated voltage up to 690 V; 8 mm for voltages up to 1.1 kV;
45 mm for voltages up to 6.9 kV; 70 mm for voltages up to 11 kV and 105 mm for voltages up to 16.5 kV.
In order to assure the degree of protection, unused cable inlet holes in the terminal
box must be properly closed with branking plugs having and equal or higher degree of
protection to that indicated on the motor nameplate.
The motor must be installed with overload protection devices. When motor is fitted with temperature-
monitoring devices, they must be connected during the operation and even during tests.
Ensure the correct operation of the accessories (brake, encoder, thermal protection, forced ventilation, etc.)
installed on the motor before it is started.
Motors fitted with Automatic Thermal Protectors will reset automatically as soon as
the motor cools down. Thus, do not use motors with Automatic Thermal Protection in
applications where the auto-reseting of this device may cause injuries to people or damage
to equipment. Motors fitted with Manual Thermal Protectors require manual reset after they trip. If
the Automatic Thermal Protector or the Manual Thermal Protector trip, disconnect the motor from
the power supply and investigate the cause of the thermal protector tripping. Wmagnet motors must
be driven by WEG variable frequency drives only.
For more information about the use of variable frequency drives, follow the instructions in the motor manual
on the website www.weg.net and in the manual of the variable frequency drive.
94
4. OPERATION
During operation, do not touch the non-insulated energized parts and never touch or stay
too close to rotating parts.
Ensure that the space heater is always OFF during the motor operation.
The rated performance values and the operating conditions are specified on the motor nameplate. The
voltage and frequency variations of the power supply should never exceed the limits established in the
applicable standards.
Occasional different behavior during the normal operation (actuation of thermal protections, noise level,
vibration level, temperature and current increase) must always be assessed by qualified personnel. In case
of doubt, turn off the motor immediately and contact the nearest WEG service center.
Do not use roller bearings for direct coupling. Motors fitted with roller bearings require radial load to ensure
their proper operation.
For motors fitted with oil lubrication or oil mist systems, the cooling system must be ON even after the
machine is OFF and until the machine is at complete standstill.
After complete standstill, the cooling and lubrication systems (if any exist) must be switched OFF and the
space heaters must be switched ON.
5. MAINTENANCE
Before any service is performed, ensure that motor is it at standstill, disconnected from
the power supply and protected against accidental energization. Even when the motor is
stopped, dangerous voltages may be present in space heater terminals.
If motors are fitted with capacitors, discharge them before any handling or service is performed.
Motor disassembly during the warranty period must be performed by a WEG authorized
service center only.
For motors with permanent magnet rotor (lines WQuattro and Wmagnet), the motor
assembly and disassembly require the use of proper devices due to the attracting or
repelling forces that occur between metallic parts. This work must only be performed by a
WEG Authorized service center specifically trained for such an operation. People with pacemakers
cannot handle these motors. The permanent magnets can also cause disturbances or damages to
other electric equipment and components during maintenance.
Regularly inspect the operation of the motor, according to its application, and ensure a free air flow. Inspect
the seals, the fastening bolts, the bearings, the vibration and noise levels, the drain operation, etc.
6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For further information about shipment, storage, handling, installation, operation and maintenance of electric
motors, access the website www.weg.net.
For special applications and operating conditions (for example, smoke extraction motors, totally enclosed
air over (TEAO), motors for high thrust applications, motors with brake) refer to the applicable manual on the
website www.weg.net or contact WEG.
When contacting WEG, please, have the full description of the motor at hand, as well as the serial number
and manufacturing date, indicated on the motor nameplate.

of the vibration should be determined and corrected.
If a set of belts is perfectly matched, all belts will have the

same amount of sag. However, perfection is a rare thing
and there will usually exist some difference in sag from
belt to belt. It is more important to look at the tight side of
the drive to be sure that all of the belts are running tight.
If one or more belts are running loose, the drive needs to
be retensioned, or the belts replaced with a matched set.
The above conditions could also be caused by uneven

wear of the grooves in the sheave. These should be
checked with sheave grooves gages.

Keep Belts Clean

Dirt and grease reduce belt life. Belts should be wiped
with a dry cloth occasionally to remove any build-up of
foreign material. If the belts have been splattered with
grease and/or oil, clean them with methyl chloroform or
soap and water. Inflammable cleaners such as gasoline
are to be avoided as a matter of safety.
Although all Wood’s V-belts are of oil resistant

construction, an occasional cleaning will help to prolong
their life.
Under no circumstances is the use of belt dressing

recommended on a V-belt. The remedial effect is only
temporary. It is much better to keep the belts and

taut string can stand a strong pull.
Use Belt Guards
Belt guards protect personnel and the drive itself. They
should definitely be used in abrasive atmospheres to
protect the drive from sand, metal chips and other
foreign matter. But they should be ventilated to avoid
excessive heat.
Check them periodically for damage and for loose or

missing mounting bolts. These could cause the belts to
come in contact with the guard and cause failure.
Guards alone will generally protect belts from abrasion.

But where abrasive materials are common — in rock
processing machinery, grinders, foundries, etc. — drives
should be inspected frequently for excessive belt and
groove wear.
Check your Hot Bearings

When the drive has been stopped for inspection, check
the bearings to make sure they are not running hot.
If they are, it could be due to improper lubrication or
improper drive tension. Hot bearings can be caused by
belts that are either too tight or too loose. Check the
tension carefully using the instructions furnished.
If the belts are slipping on your drive, retension the drive.

Never use belt dressing to correct slipping belts.
Maintain Proper Belt Tension

Maintaining correct tension is the most important rule of
V-belt care. It will give the belts 50% to 100% longer life.
Belts that are too loose will slip, causing excessive

belt and sheave wear. V-belts that sag too much are
snapped tight suddenly when the motor start or when
peak loads occur. That snapping action can actually
break the belts, because the added stress is more
than the belt was designed to take. This can be clearly
demonstrated with a piece of string, as illustrated.

AP/AX 3VX
V-belts are identified for size according to industry
standards. A combination of letters and numbers

cause a fungus to form on belts, but any effect on the

Check Safe Speed Limits
Safe speed limits for sheaves manufactured by TB

Wood’s Incorporated have been established by a
rigorous burst testing program. The limit for cast
iron sheaves has been established at 6500 fpm; the
maximum speed in rpm corresponding to 6500 fpm is
either cast or stamped on each sheave.
Before installing the drive, this safe speed limit should

be checked against the speed of the shaft on which it is
being installed. Operating sheaves above recommended
speeds could result in serious damage to equipment
and/or serious personal injury.

Sure-Grip® Sheaves and Brushing Installation Instructions
Wood’s Sure-Grip bushings are the most widely used,

tapered, QD-type and have exceptional holding power
that eliminates wobble. Standard and reverse mounting
features provide greater adaptability. Sure-Grip bushings
can be used interchangeably in many of Wood’s
products as well as those of other manufacturers.
To Install:
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE LUBRICANTS IN THIS Standard Mounting

To Remove:
1. Relieve drive tension by shortening the center

distance between driver and driven sheaves.
2. Lift off belts.
3. Loosen and remove cap screws. If the bushings have

keyway setscrews, loosen them.
4. As shown below, insert cap screws (three in JA

bushings and four in S bushing) in tapped removal
holes and progressively tighten each one until mating
part is loose on bushing. (Exception: If mating part is
installed with cap screws heads next to motor, with
insufficient room to insert screws in tapped holes,
loosen cap screws and use wedge between bushing
flange and mating part.)
5. Remove mating part from bushing, and if necessary,

Belt Elongation Method
This method is recommended for V-band drives where larger deflecting forces make the use of previously described
methods impractical.
Elongation is related to the tension causing it; thus, tape measured V-band lengths, both slack and tight, can be used to
obtain proper V-band tension.
Step 1: Decrease the center distance until the V-band(s can be easily slipped into the sheave grooves. Forcing the belts
on can damage the load-carrying cords and cause premature belt failure.
Step 2: With the V-band(s) still on the drive at NO tension, measure the outside circumference (slack O.C.) of the bands.
Note: If retensioning a used drive, decrease the center distance until there is no tension on the band(s), then
measure the outside circumference (slack O.C.) of the band(s).
Step 3: Determine the required Static Tension (Ts) per individual rib strand using the following formula.
K X DHP MS2
Ts = NXS + 2
Step 4: Find a range of recommended tensions.

Lower Tension = Ts
Upper Tension = 1.5 times Ts
Step 5: Calculate minimum and maximum elongated band lengths for use in tensioning the drive.
a. From table 4, find length multipliers corresponding to the lower and upper Ts values in Step 4 above.
b. Multiply the slack O.C. found in Step 2 by the length multipliers to find the minimum and maximum elongated
band lengths.
Step 6: Increase the drive center distance until a tape measurement of the band(s) O.C. is between the two values
calculated for elongated band length in Step 5b.
Step 7: Retension as required. New V-bands may lose tension rapidly during the run-in period and will probably require
retensioning. V-bands that have been on a drive for some time may also require retensioning due to tension decay
from normal use and wear.
