Fig. 1 is an example of a mounting device for mounting couplings or hubs onto gear unit
or motor shaft ends. It may be possible to dispense with the thrust bearing on the moun-
ting device.

•
Only use a mounting device (see Fig. 1) for installing input and output elements.
Use the center bore and the thread on the shaft end for positioning purposes.
•
Power transmission elements should be balanced after fitting and must not give rise
to any impermissible radial or axial forces (see Fig. 2 / permitted values see the
"Geared Motors" catalog).

•
Never drive belt pulleys, couplings, pinions, etc. onto the shaft end by hitting
them with a hammer (damage to bearings, housing and the shaft!).
•
In the case of belt pulleys, make sure the belt is tensioned correctly (in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions).
Note:
Assembly is easier if you first apply lubricant to the output element or heat it up briefly
(to 80 – 100 °C).
