    Assembly Assembly Be informed of the general safety instructions before beginning work. (see Chapter 2.7 "General safety instructions"). Preparations Pressurized air can damage the gearhead seals. Do not use pressurized air to clean the gearhead. Directly sprayed cleaning agents can alter the frictional values of the clamping hub.
  • Page 13 Assembly Ensure that the motor is mounted if possible in a vertical direction. If the motor shaft has a shaft key, remove the shaft key. If recommended by the motor manufacturer, insert a half wedge. Remove the plug (A) from the mounting bore in the adaptor plate (B).

    Assembly Tighten the clamping bolt (H) of the clamping hub (D). Screw in plug (A) of the adaptor plate (B). For screw sizes and specified torques refer to table "Tbl-6". Width across flats [mm] Tightening torque [Nm] Tbl-6: Torques for the plugs Mounting the gearhead to a machine Observe the safety and processing instructions of the screw-bonding agents to be used.
  • Page 15: 5.4.1 Mounting On The Slip-On Shaft With Shrink Disk

    Assembly 5.4.1 Mounting on the slip-on shaft with shrink disk The slip-on shaft has a smooth design (without keyway). For the load shaft, we recommend the tolerance h6 (DIN ISO 286). The material must have a minimum yield stress of 385 N/mm .
  • Page 16: 5.4.2 Installing The Shrink Disk

    Assembly Check that the front surfaces of the outer and inner rings are aligned. Only then is the correct braced condition obtained. If this flush alignment is not obtained during bracing, the tolerance of the machine shaft must be checked. Check twice in a row that the clamping screws (A) have the maximum tightening torque.
  • Page 17: Startup And Operation

    Startup and operation Startup and operation Be informed of the general safety instructions before beginning work. (see Chapter 2.7 "General safety instructions"). Improper use can cause damage to the gearhead. Make sure that - the ambient temperature does not drop below –15 °C or exceed +40 °C and - the operating temperature does not exceed +90 °C.
  • Page 18: Maintenance And Disposal

    Maintenance and disposal Maintenance and disposal Be informed of the general safety instructions before beginning work. (see Chapter 2.7 "General safety instructions"). Maintenance work 7.1.1 Visual inspection Check the entire gearhead for exterior damage. The radial shaft seals are subject to wear. Therefore also check the gearhead for leakage during each visual inspection.
  • Page 19: Notes On The Lubricant Used

    Maintenance and disposal Notes on the lubricant used All gearheads are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer with synthetic gear oil (polyglycols) of viscosity class ISO VG100, ISO VG220 or with a high-performance lubricant (see type plate). All bearings are permanently lubricated by the company. You can receive further information on the lubricants directly from the manufacturer: Standard lubricants Lubricants for the food industry...
  • Page 20: Malfunctions

    Malfunctions Malfunctions Changed operational behavior can be an indication of existing damage to the gearhead or cause damage to the gearhead. Do not put the gearhead back into operation until the cause of the malfunction has been rectified. Rectifying of malfunctions may be done by only by especially trained technicians.
