1. PALLET ARRANGEMENT

GB

The wooden pallet under the machine can
be picked-up by either a fork lift or a transpallet. The pallet is composed of, at least, two
beams and three cross-pieces.

Gearboxes with external supports or
specially manufactured items may be packed
in pallets with four beams.

Pallets are used with all gearboxes and
if additional protection is not required, the
machine is shipped in this way.

Cardboard Boxes (see point 2) or crates
(see point 3) are provided if necessary.

2. CARDBOARD BOX ARRANGEMENT

DO NOT over-storage this type of box

during transport.

OPENING THE PLYWOOD CRATES

The nails must be removed to open the
plywood crates.
In order to prevent the wood from splintering,
use the tool shown in figures A and B.

This special tool is a right-angle tube. Its
short end has V.

shaped groove with a sharpened edge.
Place the centre of the sharpened side on the

nail and strike the tube with a hammer until

the lip is inserted in the wood, then turn the
tube using the tube elbow as leverage so that
the nail head is lifted upwards.
Continue lifting so that the nail head fits into
the V groove and is then removed.

(For equipment see page 72)

Machines
must be used
in clean
environments and
should be
protected
from dust and
foreign bodies.

MF 48

In this case a sling must be made from
both belts which are secured from above by
a single central ring.

Carefully position the belt under the
thrust bearing from the front, pass the second belt under the brake jaw from the rear
behind the stop screws of the jaw pivot from
the flywheel. A third securing point must be
added in the form of a chain fixed to the same
lifting hook.

The hook located at the end must be
anchored to one of the slots on the pulley hub
so that transversal balancing of the machine
is ensured. When the special slow shaft is
present, use an extension to anchor the chain
to the pulley hub.

Adjust the length of the two belts so that
the gearbox is balanced horizontally during
lifting. Imbalance could cause the belt to slip
from the correct position indicated.
USE EQUIPMENT No. 1 MF 48
CODE 3000005280

GB

MF 84

Position the belt behind the stop screws
of the jaw pivot and at the front, 2 chains
fixed to two eye-bolts M10 positioned inside
the threaded holes on thrustbearing side (see
picture aside).

Then use the chain with hook as seen
previously with the MF 48 and an extension
if the special slow shaft is present.

MF 94

Use two belts as indicated for the MF
82 gearbox and the chain equipped with the
pivot, suitable for use with the smallest holes
of the pulley-bearing flange for supporting the
gearbox transversally.

Again, an extension must be used as indicated previously if the gearbox has a special
slow shaft.

Removal and installation of the B3 motor

Removing the B3 motor

GB

These instructions refer to the gearbox
with the B3 motor installed by Sassi S.p.A.

The removal of the motor-gearbox coupling must be carried out only if necessary by
authorized personnel.

Before removing the motor from the gearbox, take care to mark (using a felt-tipped pen)
the relevant positioning of the coupling of the
gearbox joint to the motor flywheel-bearing
hub (MPV), and the orientation and position
of the spacers under the motor feet. It is now
possible to remove the electromagnet and
open the brake jaws to their maximum.

After having loosened the screws of the
motor-gearbox coupling, check that the machine slides easily by manually turning the
flywheel several times in both directions.

This operation will allow us to check, during the next phase of motor installation,

MPV Flywheel-Bearing Hub

Reference

if sliding has been modified due to faulty

alignment.

We can now completely remove the motor. The next phase of installation comprises
the replacement of spacers in the same position under the motor feet, also paying attention to the marks made on the painted surface.

In fact, not considering the presence of
the thin layer of paint can negatively influence
accurate alignment.

If the motor rotor is mounted

on bushings, check that it is
CENTERED with respect to the
maximum lengthwise
run possible along the X
axis shown in the figure.

GEARBOX MOTOR COUPLING

REV. 8

Drw. 1

DETAIL K

GB

At this point, move the two semi-couplings closer checking that they are in the
same position with regards to their original
position (the pen markings must coincide).
Tighten the coupling screws and turn the
flywheel to check freedom of movement.

Installing the B3 motor

The procedure differs when installing a
motor on an MB type gearbox released from
the factory WITHOUT a motor. Most important, four shims (1, 2, 3, 4 in Drw. 1) must be
either prepared or ordered from SASSI so that
height h is obtained.

Then remove the electromagnet brake
and open the brake shoes towards the outside
to their maximum width. Insert the MPV, with
flywheel, already fitted to the motor shaft, in
its place in the brake drum, by moving the
motor body along the X axis for motors equipped with bearings or by sliding the rotor shaft
forward for motors equipped with bushings.
The motor rotor must be centered with regards
to the total possible run.

Now position (see detail K) the dial gauge
on the flywheel as seen in the figure in positions A and B. Slide the motor axis backwards
(hold the body still) so that the MPV is freed
from the drum.

Now turn the flywheel-bearing hub 90
reading the values indicated on the dial gauge
(Detail K), and add or remove shims to adjust
the height along the Z axis until the dial gauge
reading is displaced by 0.02 mm max. from
starting point B.

To adjust alignment along the Y axis on
the horizontal surface, the same procedure is
repeated, placing the instrument in position
A. Drill holes 1, 2, 3, and 4 (if not previously
done) and the support bedplate. Position and
tighten the fixing bolts to the bedplate always
manually checking the freedom of movement
of the assembled gearbox motor. If any changes are found, repeat the alignment procedure,
readjusting the shims used.

To adjust braking and for brake registration, see relative chapters (pages 62 and 63).

Pay special attention to running-in phase:
the first machine movements must take place
before the machine is placed under load. Apply
and balance the load.


Check machine resistance
in both directions. If this resistance is anomalous check the
alignment of the external support, when present. The faulty
alignment can be caused by an
higher bending of the frame portion under the external support
with respect to the portion under
the gear.


When the machine is under
load run the gear (15- 30) with
a cabin load at 60 % of its duty
load and without the gear oil fill
cap; the presence of a stream of
smoke coming out from the hole
indicates a faulty working.


Having done this, load the
cabin at 3/4 of its capacity and
operate the machine alternating
ascent and descent movements
for about 30 minutes as done in
the previous point, constantly
checking the machine state and
making sure that the oil input
hole is left uncovered to check
for smoke.


Load the cabin at its full
capacity and repeat the test runs
for about 15 minutes.


Unload the cabin leaving
1/4 of duty load and repeat the
test runs.


At the end unload the cabin
completely and repeat the test
runs.


Should smoke come out
from the hole during these operations, stop immediately the

Always use the oil types recommended in
the chart on page 54 making sure not to mix
mineral and synthetic oils.

When mineral oil is used, the first oil
change should be made after approx. 350
operation hours. If synthetic oil is used, the
first oil change should be made after approx.
700 operation hours.

Successive changes should be made every
12/18 months for mineral oil, and every 24/36
months for synthetic oil, according to intensity
of use.

When mineral oil is replaced by synthetic
oil, follow the procedure described below:

1. Use synthetic oil with the characteristics
indicated in the oil chart at page 54.

2. Remove the cables and with the machine at a standstill, drain off all the mineral oil
ensuring that it drains completely.

3. Pour enough KEROSENE to fill the gearbox sump and run the machine at high speed
for few turns and then drain the liquid from
the oil drain outlet.

Repeat this operation 2 or 3 times and
then accurately drain the cleaning mix.

open in order to check for any smoke.

6. With the machine at a standstill, completely drain the used synthetic oil and then
add the required amount of new synthetic
oil.

7. After replacing the cables on the sheave,
load 2/3 of useful capacity in the lift car.

8. Operate the machine for the first 10
minutes using short runs (a max. of 2 floors)
alternating ascent and descent movements,
constantly checking the machine state and
making sure that the oil input hole is left uncovered to check for smoke.

BRAKING ADJUSTMENT

TAV X

Adjustment should be done with the
machine UNDER LOAD.

When the machine is operating and
therefore when the electromagnet is energised, loosen locking nut 31 and slightly loosen
adjustment screw 30 until the brake unit rubs
against the brake drum (see chart X).

At this point tighten screw 30 the minimum necessary until rubbing ceases between
the shoes and the brake drum when the machine is moving.

Re-tighten lock nut 31. Intervention is
then possible on the spring pre-load to adjust
braking intensity.

Unscrew safety locking nut 6 and use the
remaining nut to increase or decrease spring
tension 32 until desired braking is achieved;
then re-lock external locking nut 6.

Repeat the procedure for the other shoe.
Periodically observe the wear of the brake
linings on the gearbox which reduces braking efficiency due to the decrease in spring

preload. Do not perform any

intervention on the brake by
only increasing the preload, the
complete adjustment procedure
must be carried out using the
adjustment screw 30, as seen at
the beginning of this chapter, so
that the end stops 13 is not increased.

To replace the shoes,
see the next chapter on Brake
adjustment to ensure perfect
fitting of the new brake linings
to the brake drum.

Please note that it is practically impossible to determine
how often the brake should be
adjusted, in fact, this depends
on the type of machine, its use
and the timing of the brake shoe
opening and closing movements.

GB

N.B. Brake shoes with linings must be replaced

when the thickness is 2 mm at the point of
maximum wear.

- 63 -

REV. 8

BRAKING ADJUSTMENT

GB

Adjustment should be
done when the lift car is
SUPPORTED.

First check that when
the electromagnet is turned
on, the brake unlocks. If this
does not occur, proceed as
follows: (consult chart x).

When the brake is turned
off, loosen locking nuts 31
and loosen set screws 30 so
that they are distanced by a
few millimeters (approx. 4)
from end stops 13, manually
checking that the end stops
13 are in the external end
position.

Loosen nuts 6 leaving
washers 33 in contact with
springs 32. With the shoes
in contact with the drum, retighten set screws 30 moving
end stops 13 towards the brake centre by 1
mm, and then tighten locking nuts 31.

With the electromagnet energised,
check that the friction lining of the shoe does
not touch the brake drum; just check that
in point B of the drawing a space of at least
approx. 0.5/0.8 mm exists.

This space should extend along the
complete arc of the brake lining even if it
slightly decreases up to point A.

If this does not occur, only in this case,
it becomes necessary to adjust the eccentric
pin which regulates the brake shoe-drum
coupling.

With the electromagnet de-energised,
loosen set screws 30 so that they are
distanced by several mm (approx. 4) from
end stops 13 manually checking that the end
stops 13 are in the external end position.

REV. 8

TAV X

Loosen nuts 6 leaving washers 33 in
contact with springs 32.

Back off screws 38, disconnect the pin
connection 37 from the Belleville springs 39.

Loosen the nuts 34 and screws 35 and
adjust the eccentric pins 36 (using a spanner
or screwdriver according to machine version)
until the shoes fully engage with the brake
drum.

Tighten screws 35 and nuts 34, fit the
Belleville springs 39, pin connection 37 and
tighten screws 38. Next, with shoes in contact
with drum, tighten the adjusting screws 30
to move the end stops 13 approximately 1mm
toward the brake centre, and tighten the
lock-nuts 31.

This done, adjust spring 32 as described
in the chapter Braking adjustment.

SASSI gearboxes have been designed with
the intent of reducing maintenance procedures to a minimum.

However, there are a few simple operations which should be carried out periodically
to ensure optimum machine operating conditions.

After having made the first oil change as
described in the LUBRICATION chapter, check
the oil and oil viscosity every six months.

Make successive oil changes according to
actual machine use using the specifications

indicated in the LUBRICATION chapter. Check

the wear of the brake friction lining every 4-6
months.

If wear is excessive, make adjustments
using the appropriate set screws (see chapter
on BRAKING ADJUSTMENT) and if the brake
friction lining is worn to a thickness of approx.
1.5 or 2 mm at the point of maximum wear,
replace the shoes.

It is extremely important to check: WORM/
WORMWHEEL GEAR BACK-LASH (Drw 1)

CHECKING THE WORM/WORMWHEEL BACK-LASH

It is exstremely important to check:
worm/WORMWHEEL GEAR BACK-LASH (Drw
1) Remove the cables from the sheave, place
a dial gauge on one of the surfaces of the
gearbox head so that the probe is positioned
against the head of one of the screws joining
the flange with the cable sheave.

Close the brake and manually turn the
sheave to the left and to the right so that
radial back lash measurement can be read
on the dial gauge.
NOTE

The position of the flange bolts on the
sheaves corresponds more or less to the position of the wormwheel reference radius of
the ring gear. If more detailed information is
required, consult table 1 on page 66 which
includes a chart providing this data.
wORM/WORMWHEEL GEAR BACK-LASH
VALUES

Drw.1

GB

Check every 3000 running hours or at least
once a year whether the maximum values of
the a/m back-lash exceed 0.3 mm in case of
gear with sheave diameters of more than 560
mm., or 0.5 mm. in case of gear with sheave
diameters less/equal than 560 mm. In case this
happens, please CONTACT SASSI S.p.A. for more
information.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE RING NUT

ON THE THRUST BEARING

The following operations should be made
when the gearbox is not under load (see chart Y):
1. Loosen screws 74, remove cover 73 and
OR ring 70.
2. Loosen ring nut 71 and distance it from
the bearing.
3. Tighten ring nut 71 so that it comes into
contact with bearing 76.
4. Run the gearbox with the motor and
carefully tighten ring nut 71 until the knocking caused by the balls and bearing cage is
reduced in intensity (for tightening moments
see chart 1)
5. Fit ring 70 and cover 73 and tighten
screws 74.
6. Use a calibrated torque wrench.

Both one part sheaves and sheaves are
fixed by means of a special nut Myy x 2 (see
table showing different sizes according to each
machine). The nut is first tightened to the shaft
till the slot of the nut is in correspondence
with one of the two holes M12 present in the
sheave (MF48 84 - 94) or till it touches the
steel spacer (only MB 108 since the dowel M12
is not present).

Where present, screw the dowel A M12
with loctite 243 (see picture). The axial locking
of the nut is given by some high resistance
screws B Mxx .

These B screws are tightened in sequence
with a tightening torque from 50 till 135 Nm according to their dimensions (see table) and are
especially designed to prevent the unscrewing
of the nut. As additional safety measure.

Loctite type 243 is applied to the threads
to assure tightening. A steel-made spacer
between the ring nut and the sheave prevents
the surface of the hub from being deformed

by the frontal screws which act on it. This fact

assures a constant thrust.
At the end of these operations put synthetic
wax over the dowel M12 and on one of the
screws for axial locking.

The wax proves the correct mounting and
prevents from tampering. In case of sheave
replacement, please contact Alberto

To replace the sheave in machines equipped with external support, first of all remove
the support following the specific instructions.
During this operation take care not to damage
the bearing and the relative oil tight shields,
where present.

Then unscrew the bolts (nr. 57 and 58
showed in picture) and insert three out the
M14 screws in the threaded holes present in
the traction sheave to help the extraction of
the flange 48 from the interference fit (ref. B
in picture).

Do not unfit flange 48 from slow shaft.
For tightening torque see table at page 68.

As far as spare parts are concerned, we
will supply sheaves with fixing holes suitable
for bolts M14 still present (3,4 or 5 according to
the models - see table 2 ref. B).

The drilling with 17 and H7 tolerance has
to be carried out (once , twice or three times
according to machine type) in connection with
the flanges to allow the perfect boring of the
hole according to the desired measure, at the
moment of the mounting of the sheaves on
the pre-existing flanges. The calibrated bolts
have k6 tolerance.
