Technical description Observe the instructions in section 3. "Safety instructions"! General description The gear unit described is a "FLENDER vertical mill gear unit" designed for driving vertical mills. The vertical mill gear units of the types KMP / KMPS / KMPP are bevel-helical gear units or bevel-planetary gear units for driving a vertical mill.
Lubrication The lubrication and cooling is provided by continuous oil circulation through a separate oil-supply system. To prevent vibration and to compensate for heat expansion, compensators are provided in the pipe system. Note When operating and servicing the components of the oil supply system, observe the operating instructions of the components.
It cannot be assured by Siemens whether these minimum requirements are sufficient in any case. If stricter requirements in the operating instructions of the supplier or similar document are defined, these will apply.
Heating 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, e. g. heating elements can be used. These heating elements convert 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 the oil beforehand.
Oil temperature monitoring The gear unit can be equipped with a resistance thermometer or temperature monitor for measuring the oil temperature in the oil sump. In order to measure the temperatures and/or temperature differences, the temperature monitor should be connected to an evaluating device by the customer. Note In order to measure the temperatures and/or the temperature differences with a Pt 100 resistance thermometer without evaluating instrument, the Pt 100 resistance thermometer must be connected to...
When transporting the gear unit, observe the notes in section 4. "Transport and storage". Assembly work on the mill must be performed with great care by authorised, trained and qualified personnel. Siemens is not liable/does not extend a warranty for damages caused by incorrect implementation.
Upstream and downstream machines have to be arranged accordingly. If the pipes connecting the gear unit and oil-supply system are included in the Siemens delivery, the installation plan is enclosed with the documentation.
Page 38
NOTICE Property damage Damage to the sliding bearings is possible. The input shaft of the gear unit may be rotated maximally 1 time for positioning during installation, only when the tilting pad thrust bearing chamber is filled with oil up to the specified level. •...
6.3.1 Maintaining preservation if the gear unit has been opened in the meantime If a gear unit, which has been opened in the meantime for longer than 1 week, is left standing without transport packing in exposed meanwhile roofed surroundings and if it is not possible every 7 days to flush the gear unit for one hour with the oil-supply system and turn it for 15 minutes, the preservation can be maintained in part by applying the measures specified in item 4.4.3.
NOTICE Property damage Destruction of the gear unit or gear unit parts from wrong rotation direction is possible. The gear unit is approved for one direction of rotation only. The direction of rotation of the motor must correspond to the direction indicated by the arrow on the gear unit input shaft.
Pickling of adapted pipes CAUTION Risk of injury from chemical substances Chemical burns on face and hands from pickling solution. Wear protective glasses and gloves, ensure sufficient ventilation. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for the handling of pickling solutions. • The lower end of each pipe must be sealed with a plug. •...
Note For permissible alignment errors in couplings supplied by Siemens, refer to the instructions manuals for the couplings. When using couplings of other manufacturers, ask these manufacturers which alignment errors are permissible, stating the radial loads occurring.
Ensure zero voltage before connecting the devices. 6.10 Welding work on the mill Note Siemens will accept no liability for damage caused to the gear unit by welding work carried out on the mill. WARNING Risk of personal injury from electrical shock Risk of electrical shock during welding work.

If the oil-supply system and the pipework are not included in the scope of delivery by Siemens, the operating oil quantity for the gear unit is shown on the rating plate (see section 1. "Technical data").
The quality of the oil used must meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300 instructions manual, otherwise the guarantee given by Siemens will lapse. We urgently recommend using one of the oils listed in Table "T 7300" (for a link to the Internet, see back cover), as they have been tested and meet the requirements.
Page 53
Note If gear units have oil-supply systems, the oil circuit must be filled additionally. If systems have a motor pump for the oil circuit, the pump must be turned on briefly. Note Oil pumps and parts with drill holes for oil filling that are marked with a special sign have to be filled with oil before the start-up of the gear unit.
If the quality of the oil used does not meet the requirements of the separately supplied BA 7300 instructions manual, the guarantee given by Siemens will lapse. We urgently recommend using one of the oils listed in the document "T 7300" (for a link to the internet, see back cover), because they have been tested and meet the requirements.

Detailed information about testing the oil for water content or conducting oil analyses can be obtained from your lubricant manufacturer or Siemens customer service. ─ A fresh sample of the used operating lubricating oil must be sent as reference to the testing institute along with the used oil sample for analysis.
Flushing is not necessary, if the new service oil is fully compatible with the old service oil in all respects. Compatibility must be confirmed by the oil supplier. If there is a change to another oil grade or make, Siemens recommends flushing out the gear unit with the new grade of service oil. Note When changing the oil, the housing and the oil-supply system (if present) must be cleaned thoroughly from sludge, metal particles and oil residue by flushing it with oil.
Page 77
The BA 7300 instructions manual relating to the gear unit lubrication and Table "T 7300" containing the current lubricant recommendations of Siemens can also be consulted on the internet (see back cover). Note For the oil filling of the gear unit, see the information in item 7.1.5.
Damaged bolts must be replaced with new bolts of the same type and strength class. 10.8 Welding work on the mill Note Siemens will accept no liability for damage caused to the gear unit by welding work carried out on the mill. WARNING Risk of personal injury from electrical shock.
A detailed illustration of the gear unit is contained the drawings in the gear unit documentation. Vibration measurements and their evaluation should be conducted by Siemens personnel and/or in close collaboration with Siemens personnel. This way, experience gained from measurements conducted on comparable bevel-gear planetary gear units can be incorporated into the measurement and the evaluation of its results.
For this reason the standard "DIN ISO 10816" has only limited application for this type of gear unit. Further information about vibration diagnosis is obtainable from: http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/mechanical-drives/en/gear units/service 10.10 Repair Note Maintenance comprises all measures for reinstating the required condition.
The total operating oil quantity for the gear unit, the oil-supply system, and the pipework can be found in the set-up plan. If the oil-supply system and the pipework are not included in the scope of delivery by Siemens, the operating oil quantity for the gear unit is shown on the rating plate (see section 1. "Technical data").
Any liability and warranty of Siemens is precluded for damages caused by the use of non-original spare parts. The same applies to any accessories not supplied by Siemens.
