MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
3.0 56 C-Face / Bracket Mounting
Flexible couplings are generally used to couple the
Model 6200 to its driver (NorthStar part number
RIMFLEX-5858). There are a wide variety of
speeds, loads, environment, and alignment condi-
tions found in various applications. If there is doubt
to suitability, we recommend you consult the flexible
coupling manufacturer on your particular application
requirement. One simple design of coupling can not
fulfill all potential applications or conditions.
1. Mount the C-Face adapter bracket (not supplied)
onto the motor per manufacture’s instructions.
See Figure 3. Be sure the 4.5 inch C-Face is
concentric to the motor shaft.
2. Insert flexible coupling onto the motor shaft. Do
not tighten at this time.
3. Place the Model 6200 onto the 4.5 inch C-Face.
Insert and tighten four 3/8-16 UNC bolts. Be sure
it is seated flat against the mounting bracket.
4. Connect flexible coupling onto the Model 6200
shaft and tighten per manufacturer’s specifica-
tions.
5. Rotate the shaft by hand to ensure free rotation.
6. Place or replace appropriate safety shields.

3.1 Foot Mounting
Foot mounting brackets are included on the bottom
of the Model 6200. The bolt hole pattern in slotted to
permit a measure of adjustment. Flexible couplings
are generally used to couple the Model 6200 to its
driver (NorthStar part number RIMFLEX-5858).
There are a wide variety of speeds, loads, environ-
ment, and alignment conditions found in various
applications. If there is doubt to suitability, we
recommend you consult the flexible coupling
manufacturer on your particular application require-
ment. A simple coupling design can not fulfill all
potential applications or conditions.
1. Place the Model 6200 mounting bracket in the
approximate final position.
NOTE: The mounting should be strong
enough to sufficiently support the weight
of the Model 6200 ( approximately 25
pounds) without excessive deflection due
to load or vibration. Deflection can cause
erroneous outputs and shorten the opera-
tional life of the unit.
2. Insert, but do not tighten, four 3/8-16 UNC bolts
into the mounting bracket holes.
3. Insert and connect flexible coupling onto the
motor and Model 6200 shaft per manufacture’s
specifications.
NOTE The life expectancy of the flexible
coupling and Model 6200 are influenced by
the accuracy to which the shafts are
aligned in this step.
4.Tighten mounting bolts to nominal 30 foot-pounds.
5. Rotate shaft by hand to ensure free rotation.
6. Place or replace appropriate shields.
