8 Removal and disposal
8.1 Disassembly
WARNING! Moving machine parts can cause serious injuries or even death! Before performing work, switch
off the machine with the main switch and secure the switch from being turned on again.
WARNING! Falling gravity-loaded axes or vertical axes can cause serious injuries or even death! Move
gravity-loaded axes or vertical axes to their lowest position and lock or brace them mechanically before entering the danger
area.
CAUTION! The surface of the drive can reach temperatures over 65 °C during operation! Allow the drive to
cool sufficiently before working on it. Wear gloves.
ATTENTION! Damage to encoders, bearings and shafts due to improper disassembly! Never use force when
disassembling drive elements with fittings, e.g. hitting drive elements, shafts or the motor or gear unit housing with a
hammer, and instead disassemble them in accordance with the following instructions.
Remove the drive as follows:
1. If the drive had been in operation immediately beforehand, allow it to cool.
2. Disconnect the connection cable and the grounding conductor from the motor.
3. If necessary, remove drive elements connected to the output shaft, such as belts, chains or couplings, with suitable
removal devices.
4. Fasten the drive with suitable fastening elements (see the chapter Transport [ } 16] ).
5. Unscrew the screws used to mount the drive to the machine.
6. Pull the output flange of the gear unit off of the machine. For gear units with a flange shaft, use the provided threaded
holes in the output flange (see the chapter Mounting the gear unit on the machine [ } 26] ).
7. If necessary, remove the motor from the gear unit. To do so, first release the locking screw of the motor adapter by
turning it counterclockwise approx. one quarter rotation. Then, unscrew the screws of the motor used to mount the
motor to the gear unit (see the chapter Mounting the motor on a gear unit [ } 17] ).
8. Transport the drive according to the chapter Transport [ } 16] .
8.2 Disposal
