When no straight shaft key is provided
The following is an example when fixing the input spline to the motor shaft using a wedge-type frictional
coupling.
Perform steps 1 to 6 by taking care regarding the following precautions.
• Avoid impact to the motor shaft when attaching the input spline.
• Check that there is no foreign matter adhering to the mounting surface.
• When attaching the wedge-type frictional coupling, coat the lubricant onto it.
• For the lubricant, use the one that does not contain molybdenum antifriction agent.
Avoid impact to the motor shaft when attaching the input spline, as it could damage the motor.
If there is foreign matter adhering to the mounting surface, appropriate installation accuracy cannot
be obtained. It could cause deterioration of performance, such as abnormal noise and vibration, and
also lead to damage of the motor.
The transmission torque of the wedge-type frictional coupling varies depending on the motor shaft
diameter. Due to this, the momentary maximum allowable torque or allowable
acceleration/deceleration torque may not be ensured.
Step 1
• Assemble the wedge-type frictional coupling (3) into the input spline (1) as shown in Fig. 5-9.
Step 2
• Assemble the plate (2) into the input spline (1), and then temporarily secure it with the hexagon
socket head cap screws (4).
Step 3
• Press the hole base of the input spline (1) onto the edge of the motor shaft completely. (During
assembly, the input gear slightly slides.)
Step 4
• Tighten the hexagon socket head cap screws (4) with the recommended tightening torque. After
tightening, check that the gap X is equal at any point along the circumference. (Reference: Table
5-1 in “5.2 Bolt tightening torque”)
• Check dimensions C to see if the input spline (1) has been assembled as in the specified
dimensions. For dimensions C, refer to “Outer dimensions”drawing.
If the hexagon socket head cap screws are not tightened with the specified torque, the reduction
gear does not deliver the designed performance. In addition, it could cause injury and damage to the
customer’s device and the reduction gear.
