Proper engine installation is no less important than its quality. Installation errors lead to vibration, bearing wear and breakdowns. Let's look at the rules forinstalling and mounting the engine.
The basis is a reliable foundation
The engine must stand on a rigid, level base. A weak or uneven foundation causes vibration and loosening. All paws should be evenly adjacent to the support.
Soft paw
“Soft paw” - when one of the paws does not adhere to the base. When tightening, the housing is deformed, distortion and vibration appear. Before tightening, check the fit of all legs and eliminate the gap with shims.
Alignment
After installation, alignment with the driven mechanism is required. Misalignment is one of the main causes of vibration and wear of bearings.
| Installation error | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Weak foundation | Vibration, loosening |
| Soft foot | Distortion, vibration |
| Poor alignment | Wear of bearings, couplings |
Check after installation
- Even fit of paws.
- Reliable tightening of fasteners.
- Accurate alignment.
- Test run with control vibration.
Proper installation prevents vibration and extends the service life. If there is vibration after installation, check the mounting, alignment and balancing.
