1. Remove the set screw on the motor mount.

Figure 5-9: Set screw on the motor mount.

2. Jog the motor until you can access the first of two coupling

screws inside the motor mount.

3. Tighten the screws on the coupling.

To remove the motor coupling:

1. Loosen the socket head cap screw and the set screw on the

motor coupling. Do not remove the screws.

Figure 5-10: Example of loosening the screws on the motor

coupling.

2. Remove the four mounting screws securing the motor to the

motor mount.

Figure 5-11: Mounting screws on the motor mount.

3. Remove the motor — with the coupling still attached — from

the motor mount.

Figure 5-12: Example of the coupling and the motor

removed from the motor mount.

4. Inspect the coupling for defects. Do one of the following:

l

If the coupling is broken: remove the coupling, and replace

with either the Coupling: 6-in. Rotary Table (PN 31840) or

the Coupling: 8-in. Rotary Table (PN 30715).

l

If the coupling is not broken: Tighten the remaining

coupling screws on the motor shaft.

5.1.7 Lubricate the Rotary Table

NOTICE!

Never operate the 4th Axis without lubrication.

Operating the 4th Axis without lubrication may void your

warranty.

The rotary table is shipped without oil. Before operating, you must

fill the rotary table with oil. Only use AGMA 2 gear oil or SAE 30

weight motor oil. Do not use way oil.

Note:

After the rotary table is filled with oil, you must

allow it to drain the excess oil, which may take up to two

days. You may use the 4th Axis while it drains.
