Chapter 6 Filling the Lubricant

6.2. Reduction gear mounting direction and amount of lubricant
The amount of grease the reduction gear requires will differ according to the orientation in which the
gear is installed. The amount of lubricant required and the target range (the
areas in the diagram)
for each mounting direction of the catalog products described in “2.2 Parts codes of catalog products”
are indicated below. Set the amount of lubricant according to the customer’s installation environment
based on this information.
6.2.1. Horizontal shaft installation
For the E series and original series
The amount of lubricant the reduction gear requires and the target range (the
areas in the
diagram) when the reduction gear is installed in the horizontal shaft are indicated in Fig. 6-1. Each
amount does not include the space (the
areas in the diagram) on the motor mounting side.
Therefore, if there is a blank space, also fill the space. Leave a space about 10% of the total volume of
the internal capacity of the reduction gear (the
areas in the diagram) and the space on the motor
mounting side (the
areas in the diagram). For the amount of lubricant for the products not
included in the catalog, contact our service representative individually.
