1.1.2
Measuring-surface sound level

The measuring-surface sound level for the gear unit at a distance of 1 m can be found in tables 1.1.2.1
to 1.1.2.3.
The measurement is carried out to DIN 45635 parts 1 and 23 using the sound-intensity method.
The workplace of the operating personnel is defined as the area on the measuring surface at a distance
of 1 metre, in whose vicinity persons may be present.
The sound level applies for the warmed-up gear unit at input speed n1 and input power P1 stated on
the rating plate. If several figures are given, the highest speed and power values apply.
The measuring-surface sound level includes attached lubrication units (if applicable). With outgoing
and ingoing pipes, the interfaces are the flanges.
If repeat measurements on site do not produce conclusive results with regard to measuring technology,
the measurement achieved on the FLENDER test bench will apply.
The sound level stated in the table was obtained by statistical calculation by our Quality Control Dept.
The gear unit may be expected to comply with these sound levels with statistical probability.

Standard corrosion protection

The gear unit is filled with conservation agent. The free shaft ends are painted for protection.
The outer paint coating is resistant to dilute acids, alkalis, oils and solvents. It is also resistant to sea
water, tropical-climate conditions and temperatures up to 140 C.
Note:
Ensure that the paint is not damaged!

Mechanical damage (scratches), chemical damage (acids, alkalis) and thermal
damage (sparks, welding beads, heat) cause corrosion which may cause failure of
the exterior protective coating.
Note:
Unless otherwise agreed, we grant a guarantee of 24 months on the interior corrosion

protection, and 12 months on the protective coating on the free shaft ends. The
guarantee period commences on the date of delivery.
For longer periods of storage (> 24 months) we advise regular checking and, if necessary, renewal of
the interior corrosion protection (see section 7 Start-up).

Technical description
Note:
5.1
General description
The gear unit is supplied as a two- or three-stage helical gear unit or as a three-stage bevel-helical gear
unit. It is designed for installation in a vertical position.
The output shaft rotates within an oil-dam pipe, thereby preventing the gear oil from escaping at the
shaft end. In the case of types H2BV and H3BV, the oil supply is made possible by a flanged-on oil pump.
In the case of type B3BV, the oil supply is assured by a flanged-on pump or by a motor-driven pump.
It can be operated in both directions of rotation.
A number of shaft configurations (types and rotation directions) are possible. These are shown in the
following table as solid shafts:
Configuration
Type
H2BV
1
H3BV
1
B3BV
1 Oil-dam pipe
The gear units are characterised by a low noise level. This is achieved by helical and bevel-helical gears
with a high contact ratio and special sound-damping housings.
The good temperature characteristics of the gear unit are achieved by its high degree of efficiency, large
housing surface and performance-related cooling system.
Note:
5.2
Unless otherwise agreed by contract, the gear units must not be exposed to harmful
environmental factors such as chemical products, high-air pollution and temperatures
outside the range 0 to +20 C.
Housing
The housings are of cast iron. If required, it may also be of steel.
Housings up to size 12 are made in one part. The types 13 - 16 have a two-part gear housing. The
housing is rigid in design and due to its form has excellent noise and temperature characteristics.
The housing is fitted with adequately dimensioned lifting eyes, inspection or assembly covers.
It is also fitted with a dipstick for checking the oil level, a draining screw for oil change and a venting
screw.

Toothed components
The toothed components of the gear unit are case hardened. Helical-gear teeth are ground. Bevel
helical-gear teeth are lapped, ground or gear cut. The high quality of the teeth lead to a significant noise
reduction and ensure safe and reliable running.
The gear wheels are joined to the shafts by interference fitting and parallel keys. These types of joints
transmit the torques generated with adequate reliability.
BA 5017 EN 03.00

5.4
Lubrication
5.4.1
Pressure lubrication through added oil-supply unit

The gear units are designed with pressure lubrication.
The oil-supply unit is permanently attached to the gear unit and consists of a flange or motor pump, a
coarse filter, a pressure-monitoring device and pipework. In gear units of sizes 13 - 16, the coarse filter
is replaced by a switchover filter.
The direction of flow from the flange pumps is independant of the direction of rotation. In exceptional
cases a flange pump independent of the direction of rotation can be used. Related specifications can
be taken from the drawings in the gear unit documentation and the list of equipment.

Bearings
All shafts are mounted on anti-friction bearings.
5.6
Shaft seals
5.6.1
Radial shaft sealing rings

Radial shaft sealing rings are the standard type of seal. They are fitted with an additional dust lip to
protect the actual sealing lip from external contamination.
Radial shaft seals at the shaft outlets prevent oil from escaping from the housing at the input shaft and
grease from escaping at the output shaft.
500005-10-10
5.6.2
Oil-dam pipe
By sealing the vertically downward pointing input shaft with a contact-free and wear-free shaft seal (a
so-called oil-dam pipe) the shaft outlet is sealed absolutely tight to prevent oil escaping. This system
is used only for pressure lubrication.
Note:
The prescribed lubrication interval for the shaft seal must be observed at all times (see
section 10. Maintenance and repair).

Cooling
Depending on requirement, the gear unit is fitted with a fan, water or air oil-cooling systems or separate
oil-supply units. In the case of separate oil-supply units, the specific instructions for these units must
be observed.
5.7.1
Fan
Installation of a fan is possible only with type B3BV (bevel-helical gear unit)
The fan is mounted on a high-speed shaft of the gear unit and is protected from accidental contact by
a cowl. The fan sucks air through the grid on the cowl and blows it along the air ducts on the side of the
gear housing, thereby dissipating a certain amount of heat from the housing.

Caution!
Note:
For gear units fitted with a fan, a sufficient amount of space must be allowed
for air intake when mounting the safety guards for the coupling or other
components.
The correct distance is given in the dimensional drawing in the gear-unit
documentation.
The cooling effect is considerably reduced if the fan or the gear housing are dirty (see
section 10 Maintenance and repair).
BA 5017 EN 03.00

5.7.2
Built-on air oil-cooling units

For type H2BV an air oil-cooling unit may be added if required. This unit is permanently mounted on
the gear unit and consists of a flange pump, a coarse filter, a pressure monitor, a temperature-control
valve, the actual air oil-cooling unit and the necessary pipework. For gear units of sizes 13 - 16, the
coarse filter is replaced by a switchover filter.
The air oil-cooler is designed to cool the gear oil by means of air from the surrounding atmosphere.
Depending on the volume flow, the oil passes through the cooler in one or several streams and through
current of air blown in by the fan. For cold starts, a bypass pipe with a temperature-control valve are
provided.

The pressure of the cooling water must not exceed 8 bars.
If the gear unit is being withdrawn from service for a longer period or if there
is a danger of the water freezing, it must be drained off. Remove any remaining
water with compressed air.
Depending on the order specification and application, the flange pump may be replaced by a motor
pump.
Note:
5.8
Couplings
Generally speaking, flexible couplings or hydraulic couplings combined with flexible couplings should
be provided for the input drive.
Note:
For gear units with fan, the hydraulic unit of the hydraulic coupling should be located
on the motor shaft to ensure that a sufficient area is available for intake of cooling air
(see point 5.7.1).
If rigid couplings or other input or output elements are used, which create additional radial or axial
forces, (e.g. gear wheels, belt pulleys, disk flywheels, hydraulic couplings), these must be agreed by
contract.
Caution!
Couplings with peripheral velocities on the outer diameter of up to 30 m/s, must

be statically balanced. Couplings with peripheral velocities over 30 m/s, must
be dynamically balanced.
BA 5017 EN 03.00

For maintenance and operation of the couplings, refer to the specific operating instructions for the
coupling.
Caution!
Note:
When installing the drives make absolutely certain that the individual
components are accurately aligned in relation to each other. Inadmissibly
excessive misalignments of the shaft ends to be connected due to axial and
angular misalignments, result in premature wear and material damage.
The smaller the radial and angular misalignment between coupling parts on the shaft
ends to be connected, the longer the service life and the higher the reliability of the
equipment, and the better the quietness of operation.
Misalignments of the coupling parts in relation to each other can be caused by inaccurate alignment
during assembly, but also by actual operation of the equipment (expansion due to heat, shaft deflection,
too soft machine frames etc.).

For the exact values please see Operating Instructions of coupling.
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.
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 setscrews
at the foundation for lateral adjustment of the drive components also offers
advantages.
BA 5017 EN 03.00

5.9
Heating element
At low temperatures, it may be necessary to heat the gear oil before switching on the drive unit, or even
during operation. In such cases, one or two such heating elements may be provided if required. These
convert the 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 them without
draining off the oil.
The heating elements must be fully immersed in the oil bath. Due to the higher oil level required for radial
shaft seals, only seals of this type are suitable for use with heating elements.
The heating elements are controlled by a temperature monitor which provides a signal when maximum
and minimum temperatures are reached. The signal requires amplification.

Oil-temperature measurement
Depending on the order specification, the gear unit may be fitted with a resistance thermometer PT100
for monitoring the oil temperature in the sump. In order to measure the temperatures or temperature
differences, the resistance thermometer PT100 should be connected to a suitable instrument provided
by the customer. The thermometer has a connection head (protection type IP54) for the wiring. A
two-conductor circuit is fitted by the manufacturer. However, the customer may fit his own three or
four-conductor circuit if required.
Note:
A certain level of oil is necessary for reliable temperature measurement. For this
reason, the resistance thermometer is not suitable for use with labyrinth seals.

For detailed information on testing the water-content of oil, apply to the lubricant manufacturer.
BA 5017 EN 03.00

10.2.2 Changing the oil
Caution!
When changing the oil, always re-charge the gear unit with the same type of oil.
Never mix different types of oil or oils made by different manufacturers. Never
mix synthetic oils with mineral-based oils or with other synthetic oils. When
changing from mineral-based oil to synthetic oil or from one type of synthetic
oil to another, flush the gear unit well with the new type of oil beforehand.
When changing the oil, the housing must be flushed with oil to remove sludge, metallic particles and
oil residue. Use the same type of oil as is used for normal operation. High-viscosity oils should be heated
beforehand. Ensure that all residues have been removed before filling with fresh oil.
Note:
Drain the oil while it is still warm, i.e. immediately after switching the machinery off.
S Stop the gear unit by switching off the drive assembly

S Close the stop valves in the coolant inflow and outflow pipes (gear units with water oil-cooling
systems)

10.2.11 General inspection of gear unit

The general inspection of the gear unit should be carried out by the FLENDER Customer Service as
our engineers have the experience and training necessary to identify any components requiring
replacement.
BA 5017 EN 03.00

10.3
Lubricants
The oil selected for use in the gear unit must be of the viscosity (VG class) stated on the rating plate.
The viscosity class applies for the contractually agreed operating conditions.
FLENDER must be consulted for any change in operating conditions.
Note:
We are familiar with the composition of these lubricants and, as far as we are currently aware, they
possess the properties with regard to bearing capacity, corrosion resistance, micropitting-bearing
capacity and compatibility with seals and interior paint coatings which are necessary for the type of gear
unit in question.
We therefore advise our customers to select one of the lubricants stated in the instructions BA 7300 EN,
taking into account the VG class given on the rating plate.
Note:
This recommendation is in no way intended as a guarantee for the quality of the

lubricant supplied. Each lubricant manufacturer is responsible for the quality of his
own product.
Should you not wish to follow our recommendation, you assume responsibility for the technical
suitability of the lubricant used.
