FOUNDATION, STEEL

 — When mounting gear drive on 

structural steel, it is recommended that an engineered 

design be utilized for a pedestal, 

adapter base or bed to provide 

sufficient rigidity, to prevent 

induced loads from distorting 

the housing and causing gear 

misalignment. In the absence 

of  an engineered design, it is 

recommended that a base plate, 

with thickness equal to or greater 

than the thickness of  the drive 

feet, be securely bolted to steel supports and extend 

under the entire drive as illustrated.

FOUNDATION, CONCRETE

 — If  a concrete foundation is 

used, allow the concrete to set firmly before bolting down 

the gear drive. For the 

best type of  mounting, 

grout structural steel 

mounting pads into 

the mounting base, as 

illustrated, rather than 

grouting the drive directly into the concrete.
Motors and other components mounted on motor plates or 

motor brackets may become misaligned during shipment. 

ALWAYS check alignment after installation. Refer to page 5 

for coupling alignment instructions.

Gear Drive Alignment

FOOT-MOUNTED DRIVES

 – Align drive with driven 

equipment by placing broad, flat shims under all mounting 

pads. Jack screw holes are provided by mounting feet to 

facilitate alignment. See Table 12, page 10 for fastener 

and wrench sizes. Start at the low-speed shaft end and 

level across the length and then the width of  the drive. 

Check with a feeler gauge to make certain that all pads are 

supported to prevent distortion of  housing when drive is 

bolted down. After drive is aligned with driven equipment 

and bolted down, align prime mover to drive input shaft. 

Refer to page 5 for coupling alignment.

If  equipment is received from the Factory mounted on 

a bedplate, the components were accurately aligned at 

the Factory with the bedplate mounted on a large, flat 

assembly plate. Shim under the bedplate foot pads until 

the gear drive is level and all feet are in the same plane.
Check high-speed shaft coupling alignment. If  the 

coupling is misaligned, the bedplate is shimmed 

incorrectly. Re-shim bedplate and recheck high-speed 

coupling alignment. If  necessary, realign motor.

Shaft-Mounted Drives – General

Shaft-mounted drives should never be mounted in a 

manner that restricts the natural movement of  the drive. 

They should be allowed to move freely with the shaft on 

which it is mounted. Shaft-mounted drives should always 

be used in conjunction with a torque reaction arm. Refer 

to Appendixes A, B or C for torque reaction arm mounting 

instructions and angular limits. The drive may require 

repositioning on the driven shaft after initial installation to 

accommodate the location of  the foundation anchor and 

be within limits specified in Appendix A (fixed torque arm) 

or Appendix B (adjustable torque arm).
The  tapered  bore  hollow  shaft  is  designed  for  use  with  a  TA                                                                                                                                               

Taper

®

 bushing for mounting the drive on a driven shaft 

with a straight outside diameter. The taper bushing 

assembly is supplied with a thrust plate kit and retention 

fastener as standard (usage is optional, shaft cover must 

be removed to install thrust plate kit). Refer to data sheet 

supplied with the tapered bushing assembly for driven 

shaft length, shaft keyway length and driven shaft tapped 

hole dimensions if  the thrust plate kit with retention 

fastener is to be used.
Prior to installing the drive, it is a good idea to check 

the driven shaft for proper dimensions. Using Table 

1 or 1A, find the driven shaft size for the application. 

Verify that dimensions A and B are within the allowable 

range. When dimensions are verified, proceed with the 

installation. The minimum and maximum driven shaft 

engagements, dimension N in Figure 1, are shown in 

Table 2. The minimum engagement is necessary for full 

bushing engagement, and the maximum (and specified) 

engagement is provided for use when the thrust plate kit is 

used for added retention capacity and an auxiliary removal 

aid (bushing nut normally used for both).
