Operation & Maintenance Manual

Cyclo® HBB

Installation Notes

Installation Precautions

• Do not use the reducer/gearmotor for specifications

other than those shown on the nameplate or in the
manufacturing specification documents Personnel
injury and/or equipment damage may occur

• Do not place combustible material on or around

the unit; fire may occur

• Do not place any objects around the unit that will

prohibit proper ventilation Inadequate ventilation
may lead to high unit temperature and/or fire

• Do not step on or hang from the unit. Excessive

weight may cause component breakage leading to
personnel injury and/or equipment damage

• Do not touch the shaft, keyway, or motor fan with

bare hands; injury may occur

• For applications in which lubricant leaks could

adversely affect operations (i.e., package handling,
food processing), place an oil pan below the unit to
protect against contamination that may occur if oil
seals become damaged or worn

Installation Location

Ambient Temperature Range: 14 – 104°F (-10 – 40°C)
Ambient Humidity: 85% or less
Altitude: 3,280 feet (1,000 m) or less
Atmosphere: The location should not contain corrosive gas,
explosive gas, or steam The location should be free of dust and
well ventilated
Location: Indoor – free of dust and water

Consult Sumitomo when the unit will operate in conditions other
than those specified above Special unit modifications may be
required

Units manufactured according to customer specified application
requirements (i e outdoor modifications, high-temperature
modifications) are designed to operate within the specified
environment

Install the unit so inspection and/or maintenance procedures may
be easily performed Install all units that are not shaft mounted
on a sufficiently rigid base

Installation Angle

You must mount the unit horizontally

Please consult Sumi-

tomo if the unit needs to be installed in a position other than
horizontal

If the unit was manufactured for a mounting position other than
horizontal,

do not mount it in a position other than the one

specified

Horizontal is the shaft orientation for standard units Consult
Sumitomo for shaft directions other than horizontal

• Do not remove the eye-bolt from the motor. Should

you need to remove the eye-bolt for any reason,
install a replacement bolt in the tapped hole to
prevent water from entering the motor

Severe Loading Conditions

For applications with severe vibration and/or frequent starts and
stops, Sumitomo recommends the use of high-strength bolts of
Grade 8 8 (or greater) to mount the reducer/gearmotor

Installation onto the Driven Machine

• Before mounting the reducer/gearmotor to the

machine, verify the appropriate/desired rotation of
the machine Differences in the rotational direc-
tion may cause personnel injury and/or equipment
damage

• If a key is attached to the keyed hollow bore, tem-

porarily remove the key if the unit is not coupled to
the driven machine and you wish to run the unit

• Before operating the unit, ensure that all safety

guards around the rotating components are
in-place and secure Failure to do so may result in
personnel injury

• When joining the reducer or gearmotor to the load,

ensure that the center alignment, belt tension, and/
or parallelism of the coupling device are within the
coupling manufacturer’s established recommenda-
tions For applications with a belt, ensure that the
belt is properly tensioned to the manufacturer’s
specification, and the bolts securing the pulley
and couplings are sufficiently tightened Failure to
follow these precautions may result in personnel
injury and/or equipment damage
