Place washer and rubber bushing on bolt .
Insert torque arm bolt (supplied by customer) through mounting tab on Flange
Mount (Banjo) type torque arm .
Make sure bolt is parallel to Banjo type torque arm side surface when fully
installed
3
Follow these steps to attach the torque arm to
mounting structure or mounting angle
bracket (customer supplied):
• Verify that the mounting structure or
mounting angle bracket hole is the
correct diameter (refer to Table 5) .
• Place rubber bushing and mounting
angle bracket on bolt .
• Ensure the bolt passes through mounting
structure or mounting angle bracket hole .
• Place remaining bushing, washer and
two nuts on the bolt .
Do not over-tighten nuts . Tighten
to point where rubber bushings can
still be hand rotated .
4
Confirm that the rubber bushings can still be rotated by hand . This indicates the
bushing has not been over tightened .
Compressed bushings will not allow the bushings to properly absorb the
loads of the shaft mounted gearbox . This can lead to premature failure .
Mounting Angle Bracket must be secured to the machine structure .

Note:
[1]
Bolt class should be greater or equal to
ISO/JIS Class 8 .8 . Application with multiple start/
stops and/or shock loading should use ISO/JIS
10 .9 at a minimum .
During full rotation of driven shaft, there must be no
metal-to-metal contact between mounting angle bracket
and torque arm .
5
Confirm the mounting angle bracket
does not interfere with the torque
arm .
There should be no metal-to-metal
contact between the two during a
complete revolution of the driven
equipment .
Metal-to-Metal contact
between these two
components may lead to
catastrophic failure of the
reducer/gearmotor .
Bushings are free to rotate by hand
