Assembly
Read the general safety instructions before beginning to work (see Chapter 2.5 "General
safety instructions").
If you have questions about correct mounting, consult our Customer Service department.
5.1
Preparations
Make sure that motor meets the specifications in Chapter 2.3 "Intended use".
Select the screws for fastening the motor to the adapter plate according to the motor
manufacturer's specifications. Observe the minimum screw-in depth in relation to the property
class (see Table "Tbl-9").
Clean/degrease and dry the following components using a clean and lint-free cloth, and a
grease-dissolving, non-aggressive cleaning agent:
- All fitting surfaces to neighboring components
- Centering
- Motor shaft
- Inner diameter of clamping hub
- Bushing, inside and out
Dry all fitting surfaces to neighboring components in order to achieve the proper friction values
of the screw connections.
In addition, check the fitting surfaces for damage and impurities.
Pressurized air can damage the gearbox seals.
Do not use pressurized air to clean the gearbox.
Directly sprayed cleaning agents can alter the frictional values of the
clamping hub.
Only spray cleaning agents onto a cloth for wiping off the clamping hub.
Operation without an adapter plate might lead to damage.
Operation without an adapter plate is prohibited.
In rare cases, a grease lubricated gearbox may show a small leak at
the input (sweating).
To prevent seeping, we recommend to seal the surfaces between
- adapter plate and drive housing (gearbox), as well as between
- adapter plate and motor,
using a surface sealing adhesive (e.g. Loctite
®
573 or 574).
