Notes
•
When mounting close to the motor, it must be ensured that the ID on the name-
plate of the motor is identical to the ID on the "nameplate of the inverter" (→
16).
•
Only install the ELVCD drive on a level, low-vibration, and torsionally rigid support
structure.
•
Thoroughly remove any anti-corrosion agent from the shaft end. Use a commer-
cially available solvent. Do not allow the solvent to penetrate the bearings and
sealing rings – this could damage the material.
•
Align the motor carefully to avoid placing any unacceptable strain on the motor
shafts. Observe the permitted overhung and axial loads specified in the gear unit
catalog.
•
Do not jolt or hammer the shaft end.
•
Ensure sufficient clearance around the unit to allow for adequate cooling air sup-
ply. Warm outlet air of other units must not affect the cooling.
•
Balance components that were subsequently mounted to the shaft with a half key
(output shafts are balanced with a half key).
•
Use suitable cable glands for the supply leads (use reducing adapters if neces-
sary).
•
Seal the cable entry properly.
•
If the corrosion protection coating is damaged, restore the coating.
•
Check whether the degree of protection specified in the operating instructions and
on the nameplate is permitted in the ambient conditions on site.
