General
We recommend that about one year after commissioning the engine all the tie rods
are checked for their correct pre-tensioning and if necessary to tension them to the
specified value. Later it is sufficient to make random checks during major over-
hauls, or the pre-tension of all tie rods has to be checked within four years.
For such checks it is not required to loosen the elastic studs of the main bearings
nor the clamp screws 10 (Fig. ’D’).
Remark:
Pay attention to General Application Instructions
for hydraulic
pre-tensioning jacks.
2.
Checking the pre-tension of tie rods
⇒
Remove protection cover 8 from all tie rods and clean the contact face of inter-
mediate ring 2.
⇒
Place both pre-tensioning jacks GF 94180 onto two tie rods lying opposite
each other. Screw them completely down with vent screws 6 open until there
is only little or no clearance at ’x’ (Fig. ’A’).
If necessary, turn the pre-tensioning jack back a little so that the holes in the tie
rod nuts are accessible.
⇒
Connect both pre-tensioning jacks with hydraulic unit 94942.
⇒
Actuate the hydraulic unit until bubble-free oil flows out through the vent
screws. Close vent screws.
⇒
Operate hydraulic unit up to
1500 bar
and maintain this pressure.
Never move pistons 5 of the pre-tensioning jacks further up than to the red limiting
grooves ’BN’ (Fig. ’A’).
