Fig 6.3 

 

 

Position the motor so that the plane 
surfaces fit together. (fig. 6.3) 

 

Ensure that the motor allows itself to be 
moved into position “easily”. 

 

There is to be no gap between the motor 
and the gearbox. 

 

Smear threadlocker (e.g. Loctite

®

243) onto 

the screws. 

 

Fasten the motor onto the adapter plate 
with the screws. Evenly tighten the screws 
crosswise with increasing torque. 
 

 

Turn the screw in the clamping hub to the tightening torque (see table 6.2). 

 

Press the supplied stopper plugs into the mounting bores of the adapter plate until they 
are flush with the surface. 

6.3  Mountings on the gear output side 

 

Thoroughly clean the output flange or shaft, centring, and fitting surface. 

6.3.1  Mountings on the output flange (version VDT+) 

The output flange, in accordance with ISO 9409, has two centring mechanisms and a bore 
hole for an indexing pin so that the gearbox (or the application) can be zeroed mechanically. 
The hollow shaft running through serves as a conduit for lines or hoses, but does not aid in 
securing the load. 

Attention 

Distortions during mounting operations can damage the gearbox. 

 

Mount gearwheels and toothed belt pulleys onto the output flange without forcing. 

 

Do not on any account attempt an assembly by force or hammering. 

 

Only use suitable tools and equipment. 

 

You can find the prescribed tightening torques in the following table.

6.3.2  Mountings on the output shaft (version VDS+/VDSe, VDS+/VDSe with output shaft on both 

sides) 

The output shaft is available in the following forms: 

 

Smooth face, 

 

With feather key groove (according to DIN 6885) or 

 

Involute (according to DIN 5480) (only VDS+). 

Attention 

Distortions during mounting operations can damage the gearbox. 

 

Mount gearwheels and toothed belt pulleys onto the output shaft without forcing. 

 

Do not on any account attempt an assembly by force or hammering. 

 

Only use suitable tools and equipment. 

 

When shrink-fitting a gear onto the output shaft: Ensure that the maximum static  
axial forces (table 6.4) are not exceeded.
