Various field erection services are available to you. If you are interested, we
can furnish supervision of erection, erection inspection only, or inspection
service. As you can readily understand, the finest equipment available will
not do the job unless it is installed properly.
Supervision of This permits you to furnish your own manpower, tools, payroll, insurance,
Erection etc., with the assurance of a competent man to supervise the work and assure
you of a job properly erected. This type of work is done on a per diem basis
as outlined in paragraph 13 of our material proposal. If it is to be handled on
a contract basis, there would be a time limit included.
Erection Inspection With this service, you can handle complete erection and avail yourself of our
specialist for a final check of erection and initial operation. Payment would
be on a per diem basis as outlined in paragraph 13 of our material proposal.
!
Inspection Service This covers such matters as trouble-shooting and correction of difficulties
after initial or extended operation and inspection for repairs and replacement
purposes.
Since many of our customers are availing themselves of this service, our
servicemen are in the field much of the time. Therefore, please allow
sufficient time for us to schedule a man to coincide with your needs.

Assembly of Unit The material furnished on this order will be assembled as indicated on
Rexnord Corp. general arrangement drawings.
The drawings were prepared specifically for this equipment.
If additional copies are required, refer to the lead sheet of your service
manual for the correct mailing address.
Mail to the attention of the Engineering Services Department.
If storage at the site is necessary prior to erection, standard procedure should
be followed, for example:
• Material should be blocked off the ground in a manner to prevent
distortion of structural members, and to avoid accumulation of rain
water and/or snow.
• Electric motors, reducers and related electrical equipment, with shaft
! assemblies, chain and other machinery components should be blocked
off the ground and covered to prevent contact with foreign material.
Shipping Copies of packing lists are attached to the shipment and sent to personnel as
specified in instructions of your purchase order.
It is the responsibility of personnel at the installation site to obtain a copy of
this list.
As the material is unloaded, a careful check should be made against the
packing list.
Damaged material is to be reported to the carrier company and Rexnord
Corp. immediately to insure proper substantiation for claims and
adjustments.
It is your responsibility to file claims as Rexnord Corp. has no authority to
allow claims.
Workmanship This manual is intended only as an aid for the installation, operation and
maintenance of Rexnord Corp. equipment.
It is further based on the assumption that only qualified workmen will
perform the service work, utilizing good workmanship and practices at all
times.
Standard construction for fabricated steel allows for tolerance in lengths and
hole locations.
Minor misfits are considered a normal part of erection work.
The accumulation of the tolerances in foundations, grades, setting of anchor
bolts, etc. created the necessity to use drift pins, reamers, and gas cutting and
welding equipment.
Dimensional tolerance must be compensated for in fit-up.
When new units are tied into existing units, it can be expected that a major
amount of fit-up is required.
The accumulated tolerances are already built into the existing equipment,
making the job of tie-in and alignment a matter of detail fit-up.

Oil Lubrication
Oil Cup or Oil Bath Lubrication – Oil cups can be applied for use as a self-contained oil bath system. Oil bath lubrication is not recommended for speeds
above the catalog oil speed limits, where excessive oil churning or misting occurs, or where there is air flow across the housing, which will pull oil out through
the seals due to different pressures.
Oil levels are controlled by sight gages, oil cups, etc. These should be used in conjunction with a vent or breather cap. Proper static oil levels are shown in
Table 5. Cups or sight gages should be carefully marked.
Circulating Oil Lubrication (See page 8) – Oil circulation systems can be used under a wider variety, or under more extreme operating conditions than any
other lubrication method. They are especially valuable for high speed and high temperature service to provide better lubrication and cooler operation.
A complete circulation system includes the use of pressure pump, a heat exchanger (or a method of cooling oil), an adequate sump, a filter to remove
particles over 20 micron in size and safety devices such as pressure and temperature warning devices and filter bypasses. It is also best to tap oversize
drain holes in the housing or to provide a suction pump to positively remove oil from the housing. Oil should be removed from both sides of the housing, but
where speeds are not high one side may be sufficient.
Oil Viscosity – The required viscosity for good lubrication depends on starting temperatures, operating temperatures, and speed. The recommended
viscosity level for bearings operating within catalog speed limits is between 100 and 150 Saybolt seconds (SSU) at operating temperature for oil exit
temperature on circulating systems. Slow speed heavily loaded bearings require much higher viscosities. Consult Rexnord Bearing Division.
Where starting temperatures are very low compared to operating temperatures, heaters may be necessary to provide oil flow in the lines or to provide
adequate lubrication at start-up.
Maintenance and Lubrication:
Oil cup or oil bath systems require close attention because of the limited amount of oil in the system. Frequent changing of oil is necessary in these
systems to avoid lubricant breakdown. Oil circulating systems, properly equipped with safety devices, require minimum attention after they are once
satisfactorily adjusted. Frequency of changing the oil in the system depends upon the severity of the operation and size of the reservoir. Also, summer and
winter grades of oil may be required, to stay within the recommended viscosity limits for good lubrication.

RECOMMENDED RELUBRICATION INTERVALS – POLYREX EM GREASE
(MOBIL)
Note:
The table above is specifically intended for relubrification with
MOBIL Polyrex EM grease and bearing absolute operating
temperature of:
9 70ºC (158ºF) for 254/6T to 324/6T frame size motors
9 85ºC (185ºF) for 364/5T to 586/7T frame size motors
For every 15ºC (59ºF) above these limits, relubrification
intervals must be reduced by half. Shielded bearing (ZZ)
are lubricated for bearing life as long are they operate under
conditions and temperature of 70ºC (158ºF).
9 Relubrication periods given above are for those cases
applying MOBIL Polyrex® EM grease.
9 When motors are used on the vertical position, their relu-
brication interval is reduced by half if compared to horizontal
position motors.
9 On applications with high or low temperatures, speed varia-
tion etc., the type of grease and relubrication intervals is given
on an additional nameplate attached to the motor.
15
WE RECOMMENDED TO USE BALL
WARNING:
Note:
9 Although MOBIL Polyrex EM is compatible with the types of
grease given above, we do not recommend mixing it with any
other types of grease.
9 If you intend to use a type of grease different than those
recommended above, first contact WEG.
When ordering spare parts, please specify the full type designa-
tion and product code as stated on the motor nameplate. Please

Milltronics MFA 4p
Milltronics MFA 4p is a highly sensitive, single setpoint motion sensor alarm unit, used
with MSP and XPP probes. The probe detects an increase or decrease in the speed of
rotating, reciprocating, or conveying equipment and sends the information to the MFA 4p.
The MFA 4p works with a pre-amplifier which can be internal to the motion sensing
probe, or remote from the motion sensing probe.
Pulses generated from the probe are continually compared to the adjustable setpoint. If
the pulse rate is lower than the setpoint, the alarm relays operating in a faiI-safe mode
will de-energize, indicating failure. The relays will not energize until the pulse rate
increases above the setpoint.

Probe
The probe should be mounted onto a vibration free structure using the mounting flange.
The gap between probe and target should be large enough to prevent the target from
damaging the probe. The probe environment must be within the probe's ambient
temperature range and non-corrosive to the probe's body. Refer to Applications drawings
on page 23.
The probe design detects a changing magnetic field, typically caused by a ferromagnetic
target disturbing the probe's magnetic field. Extremely strong magnetic fields (like those
produced by the 30A/m requirements of 1EC 60004-8, Power Frequency Magnetic Field
Immunity test) will be detected and will result in loss of functionality.
Installation
Wiring
Where possible, the probe components should be interconnected via flexible conduit.
This allows for easier removal or adjustment of the probe and mounting flange assembly.

Notes:
1. Interlocks and Safety Pull Switches are not shown.
2. If START is initiated by programmable logic controller, closure time may be too
brief to allow MFA 4p contact to latch. In this case, program a timer contact
into the circuit.
3. CSA requires an 8A or less fuse to protect contacts. For 240 V AC, protect the
contacts with a 1500 VA transformer as well.
Should the Time Delay feature on start-up not be required, power should be applied
continuously from a separate source and the potentiometer turned to zero. This is usually
necessary for automatic up-stream start up of conveying devices after the down-stream
drive has reached its operation speed.
Wiring
Probe
The Milltronics probes work on the principle of Faraday’s Laws of Electromagnetic
Induction. When a ferromagnetic object enters the probe’s permanent magnetic field, it
distorts the flux causing it to cut the coil windings and generate a voltage. This voltage is
proportional to the strength of the magnet and the number of wire turns in the coil
(constant in the Milltronics probes) and the speed at which the ferrous target passes
through the flux. The generated voltage is also inversely proportional to the square of the
distance between the target and the probe.
The relationship between speed and gap of a standard probe:
The graph was plotted from tests using four ferrous blocks set equidistantly on a
406 mm (16") diameter circle on a non-ferrous disc.
The physical shape of the ferrous target generally becomes important at low velocities or
large gaps. At these points, tests indicate that a cubic shape gives the best results due to
the sudden change it causes in the magnetic field.
An increase in block size beyond 50 x 50 x 25 mm (2" X 2" X 1") is generally not as effective
as minimizing the gap, except at very low velocities.
MFA 4p Operation
The MFA 4p provides a short circuit protected, +24 V DC unregulated supply to the pre-
amp. In the event that the interconnecting wiring is shorted, output current from the
MFA 4p is automatically limited and the on-board alarm relays are de-energized to
indicate failure.
The output current pulses from the pre-amp are super-imposed onto the dc current
supply. These are monitored by Probe LED 1, which is illuminated at the rate of the
Wiring
Calibration
The probe and pre-amplifier require no calibration.
Connect the probe, pre-amp, and MFA 4p as shown in the Interconnection diagrams on
pages 8 and 9. Connect the MFA 4p to power as shown in the Power Connection diagram
on page 10, and if applicable, as shown for Automatic Start Delay on page 11.
Note: To help the calibration procedure, short N.O. contacts of relays to prevent
motor shut-down (terminals 1 to 2 and/or 4 to 5). This allows the system to run
uninterrupted until an operating setpoint is established.
Underspeed
1. Set switch SW3 to Underspeed.
2. Set pulses per minute (ppm) switch SW2 to X 100 position.
3. Turn ppm potentiometer fully clockwise (CW) to 30.
4. Determine incoming pulse rate by slowly turning ppm potentiometer CCW until relay
Wiring
LED 2 goes on. As the MFA 4p requires 2 pulses within range before energizing
relays, low ppm applications (e.g. 2 ppm) may require stepping of potentiometer at
appropriate time intervals.
Overspeed
1. Set switch SW3 to Overspeed.
2. Set ppm switch SW2 to X 1 position.
3. Set ppm potentiometer fully CCW to 0.
4. Determine incoming pulse rate by slowly turning ppm potentiometer CW until
Relay LED 2 goes on. Because the MFA 4p requires 2 pulses within range before
energizing relays, low ppm applications (e.g. 2 ppm) may require stepping of
potentiometer at appropriate time intervals.
5. If no response is obtained when you set the ppm potentiometer to 3, (below this
stability suffers), re-set potentiometer fully CCW and set switch SW2 to X 10, and
then X 1 if required, and repeat step 4.
6. When Relay LED 2 goes on, indicating the incoming pulse rate, turn potentiometer
CW slightly past this point to obtain an operating setpoint that allows for normal
fluctuations due to load and voltage variations.
Remember:
If N.O. contacts were shorted as described in final note of calibration
preamble, remove them now as calibration is complete.

defective.
• If no spare circuit boards or probes are available for interchanging, the MFA 4p may
be tested as follows in order to determine which section is defective:
a. To find out if the MFA 4p is defective:
i. Disconnect the pre-amp.
ii. Set ppm switch SW2 to X 1 position and turn potentiometer to 15.
iii. Connect one Iead of a 530 ohm, 1 watt resistor to terminal 7 and then
momentarily contact terminal 8 at a rate of once per second. If the MFA 4p is
functional, the relays will energize after two puIses and de-energize
approximately 8 seconds after last pulse.
b.To find out if the RMA is defective:
i. Disconnect pre-amp from the MFA 4p. Attach probe across terminals
TB1 1/2 and a 24Vdc (floating) power supply across terminals TB2 3/2,
according to the RMA Interconnectiondiagram on page 8.
ii. Run equipment to be monitored at normal operating speed or pass a ferrous
object in front of and as close to probe as possible at a continuous rate.
iii. With an oscilloscope, look for approximately 6V peak to peak pulses or
alternating hi/lo levels across ground and link 3. Or with an amp meter
connected in series between the RMA and the 24Vdc power supply, Iook for
hi/lo levels of approximately 12mA/40mA alternating at the rate of the
passing ferrous objects.
If impedance deviates substantially from these values, an open or short circuit condition
is indicated.
Maintenance
The Motion Failure Alarm MFA 4p requires no maintenance: however, we recommend a
program of periodic checks.
If it is necessary to clean the enclosure and circuit boards:
1. First, make sure the power is disconnected at the main breaker.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner and a clean, dry paint brush.
3. Check all electrical contacts for corrosion and arcing.
It is a good idea to periodically check the face of the probe: it should be free of material
build-up, corrosion or deformation.

zz Inspect bearings for excessive wear or discoloration due to heat. If either is present, replace the bearings.
Tight or Defective Bearings Refer to Section 6.0 for replacing bearings.
zz Make sure lubricant is correct for reducer. A mistake frequently made is to use automotive oil. This is incorrect
and will frequently cause the reducer to overheat.
Improper Oil, Oil Level, Old, or zz Check the oil level in the reducer. Too much as well as too little oil can cause the reducer to overheat.
Contaminated Oil zz Check to see that oil has not lost its lubricating property. If oil viscosity is too low, this will result in high oil
temperatures.
Plugged Shroud zz Make sure area immediately in front of fan shroud is clear.
zz Reduce input speed to reduce oil temperature. If reducer input speed is above the stated value on the
Overspeed nameplate, this would raise oil temperature due to increase in internal windage.
