Installation
Chapter 5
This chapter describes the installation of this product.
Before installation, take care regarding the following precautions.
• Do not stand on top of the reduction gear or put anything on it.
• Be sure to install the reduction gear with the correct orientation.
Standing on top of the reduction gear or putting something on it could cause damage to the
reduction gear.
Installing the reduction gear with an incorrect orientation could cause damage to the customer’s
device and the reduction gear.
The center pipe at the center of the reduction unit is not designed to support a load. Do not use the
reduction gear in any way that applies a load to the center pipe. The oil seals may become
deformed, which could eventually cause leakage of the lubricant.
Installation position
5.1.
• When installing the reduction gear in the horizontal shaft position, do not position the input shaft
(motor) upward. (Install the reduction gear with the input shaft facing left, right, or down.)
• For the RS-260A, do not attach the reduction gear to the ceiling.
If the input shaft side is oriented upward, lubrication of some parts may be adversely affected. This
could cause damage to the reduction gear.
