8.2 Coupling to the Machine

4.
Align the shaft of the Servomotor with the shaft of the machine, and then connect the
shafts with the coupling.
8.2.2
Using a Belt
1.
Wipe off all of the anticorrosive coating from the motor shaft.
2.
If you are using a Servomotor with a Key, attach the key enclosed with the Servomotor
or the specified size of key to the shaft.
3.
If you need to attach a pulley to the Servomotor with a Key, use a screwdriver to tighten
the screw in the end of the motor shaft to press in and attach the pulley.
•
When you couple the shafts, make sure that the required centering accuracy is achieved.
Vibration will damage the bearings and encoders if the shafts are not properly centered.
•
When you attach the coupling, do not subject the shaft to direct shock. Also, do not sub-
ject the area around the encoder to shock. Shock may damage the encoder.
•
If the coupling makes any abnormal noise, center the shafts again until the noise is elimi-
nated.
•
Make sure that the thrust load and radial load are within specifications. Refer to the spec-
ifications for each type of Servomotor for the thrust load and radial load.
Important
Select a coupling belt that is suitable for the allowable radial load of the Servomotor and the Ser-
vomotor output. When the Servomotor accelerates or decelerates, the counterforce from the
acceleration/deceleration torque adds tension to the initial belt tension. Take this additional ten-
sion into consideration when you select the coupling belt.
When you attach the key to the motor shaft, do not subject the key groove or shaft to direct
shock.
