5.2.3. Installing the motor
Perform steps 1 to 4 by taking care regarding the following precautions.
Note: For the reduction gear that is not filled with lubricant, steps 1 and 2 are not necessary.
Step 1
• Remove the cap and plastic sheets from the reduction gear. If the reduction gear is not vertical
during the procedure, remove the cap and plastic sheets before installing the equipment or motor
flange.
If the above procedure is performed while the reduction gear is set horizontally, it could cause
leakage of the lubricant.
When the cap or plastic sheets are removed, the inside of the reduction gear is exposed to the air.
Take extra care so that no foreign matter adheres to the reduction gear before it is installed in the
customer’s equipment. If foreign matter adheres, it may lead to deterioration of reduction gear
performance and also to deterioration of durability or premature damage.
In case of cap
◆
A cap is attached to the insertion slot of the input gear before
shipping in order to prevent the lubricant filled in the reduction gear
from leaking.
As shown on the right, remove the cap upward to prevent the
lubricant from leaking from the reduction gear.
If the reduction gear is not vertical, the lubricant will leak out when
the cap is removed.
When removing the cap using a screwdriver, etc., take extra care to prevent any scratches or dents
on the components.
In case of plastic sheets
◆
Plastic sheets are attached to the edge of the flange before shipping in
order to prevent the lubricant filled in the reduction gear from leaking.
As shown on the right, remove the plastic sheets while the reduction gear
is horizontal.
If it is not horizontal, the lubricant will leak out when the plastic sheets
are removed.
After removing the plastic sheets, be sure to completely wipe off the
lubricant adhering to the area indicated with
