If a thread-locking sealant is not used for the set screw, a clearance will be generated in the keyway,
which could cause deterioration of performance, such as abnormal noise and vibration, and also
lead to damage of the motor.
For tapered shafts
The following is an example when fixing the input gear to the motor shaft using a draw bolt and a
hexagon nut.
Perform steps 1 to 4 by taking care regarding the following precautions.
Avoid impact to the motor shaft when attaching the input gear.
The outer diameters of the hexagon nut and seal washer should be smaller than the root circle
diameter of the input gear.
Avoid impact to the motor shaft when attaching the input gear, as it could damage the motor.
If the outer diameters of the hexagon nut and seal washer are larger than the diameter of the teeth
bottom of the input gear, the hexagon nut and seal washer will interfere with the spur gear, and
therefore, the gear cannot be installed or could be damaged.
• Attach the draw bolt to the motor shaft.
Step 1
• Attach the Woodruff key to the motor shaft.
Step 2
• Attach the input gear to the motor shaft.
