- Remove
protective cap (11 and top lock ring (4).
- Attach
each mounting to the engine / installation brackets by means
of 4 bolts (M20) into the tapped holes of the top casting.
- Lower
the installation load onto the mountings.
- Check
that all central buffers (8) can be turned easily by applying
a spanner to the top hexagon. If this is not possible, it
will be necessary to partly remove the installation load,
until the buffers can be turned freely. The central buffer
should now be turned anti-clockwise (upwards) and the installation
relowered onto the mountings. Check that all central buffers
can be turned freely. If this is not the case then the above-mentioned
procedure should be repeated. Where practical, the mountings
should be allowed to settle for a minimum of 48 hours before
any attempt is made to line up drives, pipe-work, etc.
-
The
suspended installation may now be levelled if necessary
by means of jacking bolts which can be placed into the
tapped holes of the base casting of each mounting. Care
must be taken, during levelling of the installation, to
ensure that individual mountings are not overloaded. The
variation in laden height should not exceed 2 mm and should
ideally be less. The laden height can be measured between
top and base casting at X, on two sides (see dim. sketch).
The difference between the two sides of a mounting should
not be more than 0,6 mm.
The
central buffer working clearance for each mounting can
now be set as follows:
- Turn
the central buffer clockwise (downwards) to the maximum
lower position, until it contacts the filler plate or foundation.
- Turn
the central buffer two full turns anti-clockwise (upwards)
into its operating position (buffer will now have a working
clearance of 4 mm).
- Finally
turn the central buffer so that the keyway is opposite the
nearest tapped locking hole in the top casting.
- Replace
the top lock ring (4) and fasten fixing bolt (2) and washer
(3). Place protective cap (1) over top lock ring (4).
- Individual
filler plate thickness can now be measured. Notice that
the filling plate must at least have the dimensions of the
mounting foot.

Conical Mounting with Height Re-Adjustment
RD 214/ RD 215 / RD 244
-
Remove
nut (2) and washer (3) from mounting.
-
Place
adjusting nut (4) in neutral position by means of rotating,
until the distance from top of adjusting nut to the
machined part of the top casting is 20 mm.
-
Attach
each mounting to the engine / installation brackets
by means of fixing the nut (2), washer (3) and central
buffer (8) handtight; simultaneous block the central
buffer by applying a spanner to the top of hexagon.
-
Lower
the installation load onto the mountings.
-
Loosen
nut (1).
-

-
The
adjusting nut (4) is meant to adjust the effect of creep
on the alignment after a period of time.
The
central buffer working clearance for each mounting can
now be set as follows:
-
"
Turn the central buffer clockwise (downwards) to the
maximum lower position, until it contacts the filler
plate or foundation.
-
"
Turn the central buffer two full turns anti-clockwise
(upwards) into its operating position (buffer will now
have a working clearance of 4 mm).
-
"
Fasten nut (2), while simultaneously blocking the central
buffer by applying a spanner to top hexagon. Place protective
cap over nut. Further locking is not necessary.
-
"
Individual filler plate thickness can now be measured.
Notice that the filling plate must at least have the
dimensions of the mounting foot.
