9 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The gear unit can only be installed using the supplied connection points like foot and flange assembling points.
To install the gear unit without the supplied connection points can cause serious injuries by loosening or braking the gear unit.
Even the gear unit is installed totally correctly according this manual, be sure that no one will be harmed by accidentally brake
downs or loosening.
•
The mounting plate must be rigid enough not allowing torsions, flat enough to prevent strains by tightening the bolts and
stable enough not allowing vibrations.
•
By using chain drives this becomes much more important because of the polygon effect on chain drives.
•
According to your connection elements the maximal permitted radial and axial load of the gear unit must be in accordance
with your application.
•
Check the product catalogue for permitted radial loads and calculation.
If the output or input shaft is overloaded by radial or axial loads it can cause serious damage to the gear unit.
Secure the gear unit using 8.8 or higher quality bolts.
Cover all the turning parts from human entering or touching. Turning parts can cause severe or fatal injuries.
For different kind of basic installations refer to the following illustrations.
