Assembly and Installation
The gearing tolerances of low backlash planetary gearboxes must be very precise and require a very exact
installation of the motor pinion in the planetary gearbox, in order to guarantee good operating noises, operating
efficiency and prevent potential wear. Therefore, the concentricity of the motor shaft, the coaxiality and the axial
runout of the mounting flange of the drive motor must comply with DIN 42955-R.
5.1
Motor assembly
a)
Check motor flange and motor shaft regarding compliance with tolerances according to DIN 42955-R.
b)
Remove eventual damages (dents, ridges)
c)
Check the gearbox motor flange for damage and remove eventual damage.
d)
Carefully slide the planetary gearbox onto the motor while applying slight pressure.
e)
Tighten the screw of the clamping hub coupling with the specified torque.
f)
Tighten the connecting screws between the motor and the planetary gearbox crosswise.
If the motor flange does not comply with DIN 42955-R, increased operating noises and wear can be expected,
which will reduce the life time of the gearbox. The values in the technical data can then no longer be regarded as
binding.
A detailed description of the motor assembly is provided in the respective assembly instructions. These are
available on the internet at www.eisele-getriebe.de
5.2
Attaching couplings, toothed pulleys, etc.
Couplings, pulleys, gear wheels, sprocket wheels etc. are to be mounted up onto cleaned or lightly greased shafts
with the help of the axial threaded hole in the gearbox output shaft or by heating. Pressing or knocking on can
cause bearing damage and must be avoided.
5.3
Installation
The planetary gearboxes are sealed on all sides and can be installed in any mounting position.
The mounting seats (centering) and contact surfaces must be undamaged and clean. The shafts which are to be
connected must be in exact positional accuracy to the contact surfaces in order to prevent damaging loads due to
misalignment for bearings, shafts and housing in the overall system.

Commissioning and operation
6.1
Precautions before commissioning
Before commissioning the planetary gearboxes, the following requirements must be met.
▪
All safety instructions must be taken care of.
▪
Assembly and installation must have been carried out in accordance with the descriptions above.
6.2
Operating temperature
When operating the planetary gearboxes, the surface heats up.
Attention!
Planetary gearboxes heat up during operation, through which all
surfaces heat up. Touching the planetary gearboxes can cause burns.
▪
All accessible areas of the planetary gearboxes must be secured by
fixtures or warning signs.
▪
Before touching the planetary gearbox, e.g. for work on the drive,
one must wait until the surface has cooled down.
