Mounting input and output components
NOTICE
Improper assembly can damage the bearings, housings, or shafts.
Possible damage to property.
- Mount the input and output elements only using the mounting device. Use the centering bore and the thread on the shaft end for positioning.
- Never force belt pulleys, couplings, pinions, etc. onto the shaft end by hitting them with a hammer.
- Make sure the belt of belt pulleys is tensioned correctly in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
The following figure shows a mounting device for installing couplings or hubs on gear unit or motor shaft ends. You can dispense with the axial bearing on the mounting device if necessary.
Mounting is easier if you first apply assembly paste to the input and output element and/or heat it up briefly (to 80 – 100 °C).
To avoid impermissibly high overhung load: Install gear wheels or sprockets according to figure B.
