Coupling/motor adapter/motor
A motor with or without a transmission can be connected to the steering. Correct layout of the
drive prevents this linear drive posing a risk.
The motor is adapted via a motor adapter consisting of motor plate/s and coupling housing, plus
a coupling. This matched combination ensures that the components are aligned axially. The mo-
tor/linear shaft combination determines the motor adapter version. The installation follows a lo-
gical sequence. The coupling is fastened to the drive and plugged through the installed motor
adapter on to the pins of the linear unit. The coupling lug is pulled on to the pins of the linear unit
through the installation opening in the coupling housing. One or two motor plates are used, de-
pending on the version.
This interface is stipulated for motor types from RK Rose+Krieger GmbH's RK product range. A
selection matrix in the
Linear Components
catalogue shows the right adaptation.
The customer may design different combinations at its own discretion and risk.
