Mounting of MG41 4-speed Gearbox
Gearbox - MG41 mounted on the carriage - CE1-70
The Pentruder MD1 drill system has a 4-speed gearbox to offer a wide speed range for various drill bit
diameters. Together with the MDU9 Drive Unit – NTGRA there is a very wide range of spindle speeds
available. Please see the chart on page 49 for spindle speeds and page 50 for peripheral speeds with
different sizes of drill bits.
Mounting the gearbox on the carriage or extension adapter
1. Mount the gearbox on the quick release couplings on the carriage or the extension adapter. The
quick release couplings make mounting and demounting easy and quick.
2. The Drill Motor assembly can be fitted in two positions for height, and upside down, without having
to turn the carriage on the column.
3. Screw the clamp screw into the nut on the carriage. Do not over tighten the clamp bolt or the nut
will be damaged.
4. Adjust the height of the carriage by turning the feed socket with a knuckle bar or with the feed unit.
