Position the mounted
component on the auxiliary
shaft
Balance the mounted
component
Special requirements
If special requirements are placed on the smooth running operation of the machine, we
recommend that the motor together with the output components is completely balanced.
In this case, balancing should be carried-out in two planes of the output component.
