5.0 - INSTALLATION
5.1 - INSTALLING THE GEAR UNIT
The entire installation process must be planned as early as the general design phase of the ma-
chine. The person authorised to do the work must, if necessary, set out a safety plan to protect
the health and safety of all persons directly involved and apply all applicable legislation.
1. Carefully remove all packaging and protective product residue from the gear unit.
Pay particular attention to the mating surfaces.
2. Check that the data on the nameplate correspond to those specified in the purchase order.
3. Ensure that the structure to which the gear unit is to be mounted is sufficiently robust and rigid to support
its weight and operating stresses.
4. Check that the machine to which the gear unit is to be installed is switched off and cannot be accidentally
switched on again.
5. Make sure all mating surfaces are flat.
6. Make sure the shaft/shaft or shaft/ bore are perfectly aligned for coupling.
7. Fit suitable guards to protect against the gear unit’s external moving parts.
8. If the work environment is corrosive for the gear unit or any of its parts, follow the special precautions re-
quired for aggressive environments. In this case, contact the BONFIGLIOLI TRASMITAL sales service.
9. We recommend applying a protective paste to all gear unit/motor mating surfaces and other parts
(Klüberpaste 46 MR 401 or other product with similar properties and application range) to ensure optimal
coupling and protection against fretting corrosion.
10. In the case of outdoor installations fitted with an electric motor, protect the latter from direct sunlight and
the weather by means of guards or a casing. Also make sure that the assembly is properly ventilated.
5.1.1 - Flanged execution
Machine the coupling counterflange on the machine to which the gear unit is to be installed.
The flanges must be plane and machined with machine tools. Connect the output shaft to the driven compo-
nent as indicated in the drawings below.
