Installing A Load - Oriental motor CSK243-ATA Operating Manual

5.3 Installing a load

When connecting a load to the motor, align the centers of the motor's output shaft
and load shaft. Also, keep the overhang load and thrust load to the permissible
values or below.
• Using a coupling
Align the centers of the motor's output shaft and load shaft in a straight line.
• Using a belt drive
Align the motor's output shaft and load shaft in parallel with each other, and
position both pulleys so that the line connecting their centers is at a right angle to the
shafts.
• Using a gear drive
Align the motor's output shaft and gear shaft in parallel with each other, and let the
gears mesh at the center of the tooth widths.
Note When coupling the load to the motor, pay attention to the centering of
•
the shafts, belt tension, parallelism of the pulleys, and so on. Securely
tighten the coupling and pulley set screws.
Be careful not to damage the output shaft or bearings when installing a
•
coupling or pulley to the motor's output shaft.
Do not modify or machine the motor's output shaft. Doing so may
•
damage the bearings and destroy the motor.
