This chapter contains information on how to mount a motor on a STOBER gear unit with a motor adapter. The motor adapter type of your gear unit can be found on the nameplate of the gear unit. STOBER recommends using a motor with a shaft without a feather key, since the keyway negatively affects smooth operation.
Permitted tilting torques at the gear unit input If you mount a STOBER gear unit on the machine in a horizontal mounting position, check that the permitted tilting torque is not exceeded on the gear unit input before mounting the corresponding motor. Information on the permitted tilting...
Procedure In order to prevent unfavorable shifting or tilting of the motor shaft, STOBER recommends mounting the motor on the gear unit with the motor shaft pointing down vertically. 1. Position the gear unit (5), if necessary with the aid of lifting gear, on a suitable support (1) so that the motor can be mounted in a vertical position.
Page 20
5 | Installation 9. If necessary, use two suitable attachment points to secure the motor with the lifting gear so that the motor shaft is pointing down vertically. 10. Turn the motor in an axial position to the gear unit so that the nameplates are on the same side, if possible, and can also be read after installation in the machine.

The maximum surface temperature occurs in approx. 3 hours, depending on the utilization of the drive, and must not exceed the maximum value of 90 °C in the event of a maximum surrounding temperature. Immediately shutdown the drive if the maximum value is exceeded and contact STOBER Service.
7 | Servicing Servicing Cleaning If the surface of the gear unit/geared motor is dirty, sufficient heat dissipation through the ambient air is no longer possible. As a result, impermissibly high operating temperatures could occur, which reduce the lubricating effect of the lubricant and accelerate its aging.
Servicing Have the necessary servicing work carried out on the drive by the STOBER Service department or by STOBER service partners. Be aware that improper servicing may cause material damage and may void the manufacturer's warranty. Only use replacement parts delivered by STOBER. Specify the type designation and serial number of the drive when...
7 | Servicing Service If you contact STOBER Service, have the following information ready: § Serial number and type designation of the drive according to the nameplate § Type of fault and surrounding circumstances § Presumed cause § If possible, digital photo of the drive or a video recording of the drive in the context of the fault Contact data of parent company in Germany STÖBER Antriebstechnik GmbH + Co.
8 | Removal and disposal Removal and disposal Disassembly WARNING! Moving machine parts can cause serious injuries or even death! Before performing work, switch off the machine with the main switch and secure the switch from being turned on again. WARNING! Falling gravity-loaded axes or vertical axes can cause serious injuries or even death! Move gravity-loaded axes or vertical axes to their lowest position and lock or brace them mechanically before entering the danger area.
