1.0 Introduction
FLSmidth ring gears are the highest quality gears of this type available. To fully realize
the advantages of this high quality, gears must be installed accurately. The following
procedure has been prepared to detail the steps necessary to obtain an accurate and true
running gear. Read the entire instruction manual prior to commencing work.
1.1 The scope of this document includes the following:
1.1.1 To assemble the gear on the machine so that the segment joints are
properly closed and the gear segments are aligned to each other.
1.1.2 To true the pitch cylinder of the gear with respect to the axis of rotation
so that the eccentricity (radial runout) and axial runout are minimal.
1.1.3 To align the pinion(s) with respect to the gear so that the tooth load
distribution is uniform across the face and to insure that backlash is
correct under operating conditions.
Note: The structure upon which the gear and pinion(s) are mounted must be
sufficiently rigid to maintain good gear/pinion alignment.
2.0 General Information
2.1 The ring gear segments may be either steel castings, ductile iron castings or steel
fabrications.
2.2 Adjustment chairs are utilized to achieve the required axial and radial alignment.
2.3 The machined joint surfaces are always full angular, matching the helix angle of
the teeth.
2.4 The segments are match-marked to insure correct assembly.
2.5 The segments are aligned to each other by means of alignment body-bound studs
or alignment tapered studs with matching split taper bore sleeves.
.
2.6 These studs must be preloaded by torquing them to the value shown on the
assembly drawing.
2.7 Axial and radial runout and no-load tooth contact patterns are verified for final
installation of the gear set.
3.0 Applicability of Manual
3.1 This manuals primary purpose is to describe the installation of a new FLSmidth
split ring, spring-mounted main gear on a new machine. These descriptions will
also apply for the installation of a new gear on an existing shell as a replacement
for worn or damaged gearing or reversing an existing gear on an existing shell.
4.0 Safety Considerations
4.1 Size, weight and precision finish of FLSmidth Inc. split ring gear segments
require several crane-handling maneuvers between the receiving area and final
installation on the kiln shell.
4.2 In order to minimize potential for personal injury, allow only qualified riggers,
mechanics and crane operators to handle the segments for floor level preparation
and actual placement on the kiln shell.
4.3 After assembly of the gear segments on the kiln shell, the pinion assembly will
be moved into position for meshing of gear and pinion teeth.
4.4 The entire gear and the mating pinion will be exposed and will be potential
bump and pinch danger points until gear and pinion alignment is acceptable.
4.5 Constant alertness during rotation periods is essential for avoiding personal
injury at potential bump and pinch points.
4.6 Industrial cleaning solvents are required for cleaning surfaces coated with
preservative compounds. Use only non-toxic and non-flammable solvents
approved by safety regulatory agencies.
4.7 NEVER USE GASOLINE OR OTHER DANGEROUS FLUIDS FOR

CLEANING GEAR SEGMENTS OR RELATED ASSEMBLY MATERIAL.

9.0 Shell Preparation
9.1 Setting Guideline Layout
9.1.1 The most convenient time for marking the gear location guidelines on the
appropriate shell is at ground level and before the thrust tire is mounted
on the shell adjacent to the gear installation area.
9.1.2 Reference line layout work is easier when thrust tire guidelines scribed
on shell pads are exposed for trammel layout of gear-setting guidelines.
See Figure 4 for reference.
.
Figure 4
Where A = Width of the thrust tire at flat side faces
B = Width at ends of the spring mounts
C = Thrust tire centerline to gear centerline
9.1.3 Refer to the machine foundation and drive assembly drawings for the
following:
9.1.3.1 Thrust tire and gear dimensions
9.1.3.2 Spacing dimension between thrust tire and gear centerlines
9.1.3.3 Width at tail-end of spring plates

.
Caution: If gear guard splash bands are used, shell longitudinal welds must be
ground flush with base metal between guidelines, and several centimeters
beyond those lines.
9.1.4 Clean the shell with grinding and wire brush tools.
9.1.4.1 Clean between the guidelines plus 300mm (12) outward past
both lines.
9.1.4.2 Grind down all welds in this zone in preparation for installation
of spring mounts and splash bands, if applicable, on the shell.
9.1.5 Set trammel points for arc layout of reference lines.
9.1.5.1 Use a wrap tape flexible straightedge at peaks of arcs for layout
of circumferential lines.
9.2 Installing Guide Bars
Note: When the gear is picked up by a crane, the gear tends to plumb itself toward a
nearly vertical position. Guide bars enable moving the gear into a position
perpendicular to the slope angle of the shell.
9.2.1 Determine which view of Figure 5 is applicable.
9.2.1.1 View A Flared end of the spring plate is wider than the gear
rim. A spacer is required on the guide bars.
9.2.1.1 Minor allowable fabrication deviations can turn

ends of the springs away from guide lines marked
on the shell.
9.2.1.2 Spacer dimensions must consider differences

between half width of the gear and spring mounts,
plus 13mm () allowance for endplay and/or
tracking discrepancies.
9.2.1.2 View B Gear and spring mounts are the same width. A 13mm
() spacer is needed on the guide bars.
9.2.1.3 View C Arrangement when half of the spring mount width is at

least 13mm () less than half the gear rim width.
.
Figure 5
9.2.2 Mark shell top centerline.
9.2.3 Mark four spaces at 45 from each other
9.2.4 Install 4 bars and braces.
9.2.4.1 When the bars are at the downhill side, the suspended gear will
touch the bars below the machine horizontal centerline and the
top of the gear will have to be pulled against the bars above the
horizontal centerline.
9.2.4.2 When the bars are at the uphill side, the suspended gear will
touch the bars above the machine horizontal centerline and the
.
bottom of the gear will have to be pulled against the bars below
the centerline.
9.2.5 Remove bars after the gear has been secured to the machine.
10.0 On Ground Preparation of the Gear
10.1 Place the gear segments on clean timber on the ground.
10.1.1 Position the gear with marks A-A and B-B (and C-C and D-D if
applicable) in position for eventual joint connection work.
10.1.2 Ensure the timbers are high enough to permit installation of the spring
mount pins from below the arrangement.
10.1.3 Pre-assemble the gear with joint hardware to ensure proper joint
alignment.
10.2 Determine the rotation of the machine.
10.2.1 Rotation direction is established as clockwise or counter-clockwise as

seen when looking toward the feed end (uphill) from the firing floor
(discharge end).
10.3 Clearly mark the gear THIS SIDE TOWARD DISCHARGE END with a large
arrow marked to show planned rotation direction.
10.3.1 The springs attached to the gear must PULL the shell in the planned
direction of rotation (see Figure 1 for reference).
Warning: If at anytime after the gear is in place on the shell, it is noted that the gear
was installed with springs in compression (pushing the kiln shell for
rotation), the gear with springs and chairs still attached, must be removed,
reversed, reinstalled and then realigned and welded at the spring mounts.
10.4 Verify that the curved end of the spring mounts fit on the shell when set for
rotation direction.
10.5 Install the spring mount pins.
10.5.1 Tack weld one of the washers to the end of the pin as per the appropriate
assembly drawing. Make sure the washer is square to the pin axis.
10.5.2 Fit the fork plates of the spring mounts onto the gear boss.
.
10.5.3 Lubricate machined surfaces of the pin with anti-seize compound. Insert
the end of the pin from the bottom in the assembled spring and gear boss.
Figure 6
10.5.4 Weld the remaining washer to the pin per the appropriate assembly
drawing.
10.5.5 Washers should be snug against the spring mount fork plates.
10.6 Install all the chairs.
10.6.1 Set all the chairs in appropriate positions on the gear web in spaces
between the springs. Locate chair at narrow zone for spring, but avoid
interference points.
10.6.2 Tighten the side bolts to hold the chairs in place.
10.7 Tie back the spring mounts.
10.7.1 Swing the tail ends of the spring mounts as far as possible toward the
gear web plate.
10.7.2 Tie the spring mounts against the web with lengths of soft heavy-gauge
baling wire or an acceptable substitute to secure the arrangement for
crane handling maneuvers.
Warning: Verify that the direction of the spring mounts is correct for the
eventual direction of rotation of the machine when mounted on the
shell.
.
Note: When installing a new gear on an existing shell or reversing an existing gear on
an existing shell, the gear must be indexed, such that the spring mounts are
positioned in an area of the shell which has not been previously welded to.
11.0 Installing the Gear on the Shell
11.1 Chock the machine.
11.2 Lift the first gear segment. Protect the gear during lifting by padding wire ropes
with rubber conveyor belts, fire hose or similar. See Figure 7 for an example.
Figure 7
11.2.1 The main load line, Line A, is hitched at a position for holding the
projecting spring mount off the ground when moving from the lay-down
position to the ends-down position for transfer to the shell.
.
11.2.2 The jib, or second crane, Line B, is needed for stability of the unbalanced
load of the gear segment until the segment is in a safe position for being
handled by the main load line.
11.3 Let Line B out so that all the gear weight rests on the main load line and looks
like Figure 8. (The line may need to be relocated to enable rolling the segment
around and under the shell.)
Figure 8
.
11.4 Continue crane maneuvers until the first gear segment has been rolled under the
shell and then moved to the predetermined support and assembly position.
11.5 Temporarily support the first gear segment in a balanced position at the bottom
of the gear with a timber-plus-jacks arrangement. See Figure 9 for reference.
Figure 9
11.6 Secure the ends of the gear segment in the ends up condition.
11.6.1 Ends of the gear segment can be secured by welding locking bars to the
shell at both sides of the machine and at the uphill and downhill sides of
the gear segment.
11.6.2 The segment may also be secured by a wire rope lashing arrangement
shown in Figure 9.
11.7 Lift the second gear segment. Protect the gear during lifting by padding wire
ropes with rubber conveyor belt, fire hose or similar.
.
11.7.1 The jib, or second crane, Line B from Figure 7, is hitched at a position
for holding the projecting spring mount off the ground when moving
from the lay-down position to the ends-down position for transfer to the
shell.
11.7.2 The main load line, Line A from Figure 7, is in position for moving the
segment from the lay-down to an ends-down position and transfer to the
shell after releasing the jib, or second crane.
11.8 Move the segment to place.
11.8.1 Pre-install 2 regular studs, one on either end, in the second segment to
aid in placing the segment.
11.8.2 Steady the incoming segment at both joints while the segment is being
lowered.
11.8.3 If possible, do not release the crane until after the fully assembled gear is
in place at pre-marked guidelines and is secure on the chairs.
12.0 Assembling the Joint Hardware
12.1 If alignment tapered studs are used, perform the following:
12.1.1 Coat the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the tapered sleeves
with an anti-seize compound.
12.1.2 Insert the tapered sleeves into the alignment holes. Be sure that the head
of the sleeve is seated in the counterbore.
12.1.3 Assemble the alignment tapered studs.
12.1.4 Torque the Mechanical Tensioner jackbolts per the gear assembly
drawing and instruction 70001362.
12.2 If alignment body-bound studs are used, perform the following:
12.2.1 Coat the body-bound stud with anti-seize compound.
12.2.2 Assemble the alignment body-bound studs.
12.2.3 Torque the Mechanical Tensioner jackbolts per instruction 70001362 to

the value listed on the gear assembly drawing.
.
12.3 Regular studs
12.3.1 Assemble the regular studs
12.3.2 Torque the Mechanical Tensioner jackbolts per instruction 70001362 to

the value on the gear assembly drawing.
Caution: Insure that a 0.04mm (0.0015) feeler gauge will not enter the
assembled joint.
12.4 Inspect the alignment of the gear joints. Axial and radial steps at the joints
should be less than 0.05mm (0.002). See Figure 10.
Figure 10
13.0 Setting Chairs on the Shell
13.1 Back out the adjustment chair side bolts far enough to allow for setting the chairs
in relation to the guide lines.
13.2 Weld the support leg channels to the shell with a 5mm (3/16) size fillet weld.
Seal weld all flush butt joints.
Caution: Protect bolt and nut threads.
13.3 Tighten the adjustment chair side bolts alternately and gradually to move the
gear into the best possible position relative to the surface of the shell.
.
13.4 Tighten the bottom bolt of the adjustment chairs enough to support the gear
when the crane is released.
14.0 Preparation for Shell Rotation
14.1 Place the drive bar(s) about 25mm (1) from the legs of the chairs to allow for
adjustment of the gear and such that there is adequate clearance for welding the
spring mounts to the shell upon final alignment.
Note: A single drive bar is usually adequate for a new gear on a new machine, but
when a gear is being reversed, or a new gear is replacing a worn gear on an
older kiln, it may be necessary to place a drive bar at each chair in order to
handle the internal refractory and coating load at the start of rotation.
14.2 Tack weld in place.
14.3 Install the bridge arrangement(s) as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12.
Figure 11

14.4 Install bridge arrangement side bolts and top bolts tight against the bar(s) for
rotation of the gear for runout test work.
14.5 Weld the bridge legs to the kiln shell.
Note: Drive bars and plate hold-down arrangements are not limited to items shown in
Figure 12, but it is important that an alternate arrangement will not be in a
position to interfere with eventual welding at the sides and trailing ends of the
plates.
15.0 Installing the Pinion(s)
15.1 Setting up the pinion(s)
15.1.1 See instruction 70001369 for pinion installation procedure.
15.1.2 Apply lubricant to the pinion before turning the machine.

.
16.0 Checking Gear Runout
Warning: Gear runout tests are not valid if the shell is, in any way, affected by any
source of heat, including sunshine.
16.1 Check the axial runout on the gear rim end face or the proof surface if one exists.
16.1.1 Set dial indicator A on the surface to be aligned.
16.1.2 Set dial indicator B on the same surface, at 180 apart from dial
indicator A; with the dial indicator stems pointing in the same
direction. Dial indicator stems must be perpendicular to the surface
being aligned. See Figures 13 and 14 for proper dial indicator
position.

Metric English
0.083mm/m of Pitch Diameter 0.001/ft of Pitch Diameter
OR OR
0.254mm 0.010
Warning: Allowable axial and radial runouts are for the condition after welding
spring mounts to the shell, and with all adjustment bolts and drive bars
released for runout tests. Runout test results should be less than allowable
prior to the start of the spring mount tack welding and finish welding
procedures to allow for possible effects of weld stress reactions at spring
mount bosses and pivot pins.
16.2 Check the radial runout over the tooth tips. Dial indicator stems must be
perpendicular to the surface being aligned. See Figures 13 and 14 for proper dial
indicator position.
16.2.1 Record the data in Table 5.
16.2.2 Obtain the allowable radial runout from the gear assembly drawing or
calculate the allowable radial runout per the following specification.
Specification: Allowable Radial Runout

Use whichever is greater of the following
Metric English
0.125mm/m of Pitch Diameter 0.0015/ft of Pitch Diameter
OR OR
0.380mm 0.015
16.3 Continue alignment procedures until axial and radial alignment are within
acceptable limits.
.
17.0 Centering and Welding the Spring Mounts
17.1 Secure one spring mount at a time. See Figure 15 for reference.
17.2 Spring mounts which are not fixed to the shell by bridge arrangements should be
welded first.
17.3 Move the spring mount toward A and mark the side of the plate.
17.4 Move the spring mount toward B and mark the side of the plate.
17.5 Mark midway between A-B lines for aligning the edge of the spring mount.
17.6 Starting at the tangent line, place 2 tack welds at both sides of the spring mount.
Note: Welds must start at the spring tangent line and move toward the tail end of the
spring mount plate(s) for beads at both sides of all the spring mounts.
17.6.1 Work in a flat position on top of the shell for simultaneous welding at
both sides of the spring mount(s). See position A of Figure 17 for
reference.
17.6.2 If necessary, it is possible for up-vertical deposit of weld as shown in

position B of Figure 17.
17.6.3 Down-vertical or overhead welding as shown in position C is not

acceptable. Welding from tail end of the spring mount plate will affect
gear alignment with stress load variations at pivot pins.
17.7 Secure the spring mount 180 from the first, then a spring mount 90 from the
first, followed by a spring mount 180 from the third spring mount.
17.8 Repeat steps 17.3 through 17.6 for the balance of the spring mounts.
17.9 For spring mounts with drivers, release pressure at the top bridge bolt and side
bolts.
17.10 Follow steps 17.3 through 17.6.
17.11 Tighten the top bridge bolt.

17.12 Continue with rotation, as needed, to finish the root weld and then follow with
finish welds at the specified fillet size. See Figure 18 for reference. Follow the
guidelines outlined in step 17.7. Never apply more than two weld passes at a
time until the full weld size is achieved.
17.13 If the weld toe at the tangent point is not smooth, grind it.
17.14 Check the axial runout again and compare it with the values obtained prior to
welding the spring mounts.
17.15 Check the radial runout again and compare it with the values obtained prior to
welding the spring mounts.
