Chapter 5 Installation
This chapter describes the installation of this product.
Before installation, take care regarding the following precautions.
Do not stand on top of the reduction gear or put anything on it.
Be sure to install the reduction gear with the correct orientation.
Standing on top of the reduction gear or putting something on it could cause damage to the
reduction gear.
Installing the reduction gear with an incorrect orientation could cause damage to the customer’s
device and the reduction gear.
5.1. Bolt tightening torque
Use the Nabtesco-recommended bolts for installing the reduction gear and tighten them with the
specified tightening torque.
Use the serrated lock washer for hexagon socket head cap screw to prevent the bolt from loosening
and protect the bolt seat surface from flaws.
(Reference: “4.2.3 Reduction gear mounting bolts” and “4.2.4 Serrated lock washer for hexagon socket
head cap screw”)
The following are the bolt tightening torques specified by Nabtesco. Be sure to check the following
when tightening the bolts.

* The tightening torque values listed are for steel or cast iron material.
If softer material, such as aluminum or stainless-steel, is used for the bolt, limit the tightening torque.
When tightening the bolt with the limited torque, confirm that there is no strength problem by taking
the transmission torque and load moment into due consideration.
