Observing some rules for right set up is crucial to the reliable and suitable operation in the gearbox or gear motor.
The guidelines set out here are meant like a preliminary guidebook to choosing gearbox or gear motor. For helpful and good set up, follow the instructions offered during the set up, use the maintenances manual for the gearbox readily available from our sales department.
Following is often a brief outline of installation principles:
a) Fastening:
Location gearbox on the surface delivering satisfactory rigidity. Mating surfaces really should be machined and flat.
Mating surfaces has to be within definite geometric tolerances (see manual). This is often particularly accurate of flange-mounted gearboxes with splined hollow shafts.
In applications that involve large radial loads on the output finish, flange mounting is advisable for some gearbox sizes as this mounting can make use of the double pilot diameters provided in these gearboxes.
Ensure that the gearbox is appropriate to the demanded mounting position.
Use screws of resistance class eight.eight and over to secure the gearbox. Torque up screws on the figures
indicated inside the relevant tables.
With transmitted output torque better than or equal 70% of the indicated M2max torque, and with
frequent motion reversals, use screws with minimum resistance ten.9.
Some gearbox sizes could be fastened making use of both screws or pins. Of pin seated inside the frame the gearboxes be 
at the least one.five instances pin diameter.
b) Connections
Secure the connection elements to gearbox input and output. Do not tap them with hammers or similar equipment.
To insert these parts, make use of the support screws and threaded holes provided over the shafts. Be sure to clean off any grease or protects from your shafts just before fitting any connection parts.
Fitting hydraulic motors.
Be careful the O ring involving motor flange and gearbox input flange when assembling. Install the
hydraulic motor prior to filling lube oil in to the gearbox.
Connecting the hydraulic brake.
The hydraulic circuit should be this kind of to guarantee that brake is launched instants in advance of gearbox starts and applied soon after gearbox has stopped. Check out that pressure while in the hydraulic line for brake release is at zero every time gearbox is stopped.
Course of rotation
Motors are linked to your ideal electric or hydraulic circuit in accordance with their path of rotation.
When performing these connections, keep in mind that all gearboxes, irrespective of whether within the in-line or suitable angle style and design, have the same route of rotation the two at input and output. For a lot more specifics of the connection of electric and hydraulic motors, see related sections on this catalogue.
