Stop!
The lubricant fill quantity of the gearboxes is matched to the mounting
position. The mounting position indicated on the nameplate must be observed
to avoid damage to the gearbox.
ƒ
Take safety measures prior to any operation:
– Disconnect the machine from the mains, ensure standstill of the drive system and
avoid any machine movement.
– Check the proper state of the drive system. Never install and set up damaged drive
systems.
– Check the combination of drive function and machine functions. Check the
direction of rotation (see Fig. 2).
ƒ
The mounting surfaces must be even, without torsion, and free from vibration.
ƒ
Align the drive system on the mounting surfaces exactly with the machine shaft to
be driven.
– Ensure that the assembly is without torsion to avoid additional load.
– Compensate for minor misalignments by using suitable flexible couplings.
ƒ
Support the reaction torque appropriately.
ƒ
Fixings of accessories and attachments must be secured against loosening.
We recommend that screw connections are glued.

Assembly of transmission elements on solid shafts
ƒ
Draw the transmission elements onto the output shaft only by using the centering
thread.

Stop!
Shocks and blows to the shafts damage the roller bearings.
