Installing the gearbox in the application

Warning!
Gefahr
Incorrect attachment to the application can lead to misalignment or slippage in the
connection between the gearbox and application or gearbox shafts and connecting
elements. This can lead to breakage of a gear component, a connecting element
or loss of position in the power train, which can result in uncontrolled rotation or
blocking of the output shaft, among other things.
• Observe the strength class of the application-side mounting bolts and possible
use of washers according to 4.4.1
• Observe the tightening torques for the application-side mounting bolts and the
requirements in 4.4.1 and 4.4.2
• Select a suitable torque tool with a minimum accuracy to DIN EN ISO 6789-1
Type II A to ensure the required tightening torque.
• The bolts must be secured against self-loosening through use of a threadlocker
(e.g. Loctite 245).
• Non-positive connections must be made with suitable clamping sets and the
appropriate fit according to the shaft fits given in the technical specifications in
order to avoid slippage.
• Carefully clean the component surfaces to be used for non-positive connection
and remove all residues.
• The application-side flange geometry must be free of damage and residues.
• Uncontrolled introduction of external forces due to "overspecified" operating
conditions can lead to shaft breakage or failure of the gearbox bearings. Overspe-
cified operating conditions can include positional deviations between the gearbox
and the application, jamming in the case of direct connection to translational ap-
plications e.g. rack and pinion, additional application-side bearings for the input
or output shaft or excessive pretensioning of belts. Suitable connecting elements
must be used and positional deviations must be avoided.
