2K120/2K121 Application and Design Application and Design Application The ZF-DUOPLAN two-speed gearbox is mainly used in machine tool drives. By way of example, the gearbox can be used in turning machines (horizontal B5) or machining centers (vertical V1) thanks to its variable installation position.
Operating Instructions Application and Design 2K120/2K121 Installation positions Horizontal B5 Horizontal B5 Shift unit on right side, gearbox turned around longitudinal axis (view to output end) Vertical V1 Vertical V3 CAUTION The breather outlet must always be at the top,...
Undersize shafts must be compensated for by using shims when mounting to the motor. Oversize shafts must be machined to the correct length. Take into account the permitted axial forces on the motor shaft. Also see ZF-DUOPLAN catalogue (4161 750 102), “Performance data” chapter.
Operating Instructions Initial Installation 2K120/2K121 Balancing The hubs (2) come with a keyway (1) for trans- mitting power from the motor shaft (3) as standard. There are two balancing types for the motor and gearbox: Semi-key and full-key, which are described in more detail in DIN ISO 8821.
2K120 33.3-0.2 2K121 53.3-0.2 CAUTION Dimension C 32.8-0.2 (2K120) or 52.8-0.2 (2K121) in the case of motors with fixed bearing on the B-side. 3.3.1 Open design The open version is the gearbox without adapter plate but with seal on the motor output shaft (2) to prevent gearbox oil ingress.
There are no internal axial forces in the 2K120/2K121 that could act on the hub. When assembling, separate the drive hub (1) with adapter plate (5) from the gearbox housing (6).
Operating Instructions 2K120/2K121 Initial Installation 3.3.3 Closed design (with shaft seal) This variant incorporates an adapter plate (5) with shaft seal (7), which means that the gearbox forms a compact, closed unit. The adapter plate and drive hub (1) are separately delivered loose.
Operating Instructions Initial Installation 2K120/2K121 3.3.4 Open design with adapter ring The adapter ring allows adaptation to different connection dimensions. A seal is required on the motor output shaft. The adapter ring (5) and drive hub (1) are delivered loose. Clean the fitting surfaces of the motor (3) and drive hub.
Operating Instructions 2K120/2K121 Initial Installation 3.3.5 Keyless hub When mounting on motors with a smooth motor shaft without a keyway, it is necessary to use ring clamping elements and pressure pieces between the motor shaft and the input hub in order to transmit the torque.
Operating Instructions Initial Installation 2K120/2K121 Gearbox – fit The M8 set screw (9) must be screwed in and tightened at the parallel key with 18 Nm until firmly home. Make sure you coat the threaded pin with liquid seal before installing it.
