Step 1
Before installation, confirm that the motor and reducer are intact and undamaged. Strictly check the dimensions of all connecting parts to the reducer to ensure they match. This includes the dimensions and tolerances of the motor's positioning boss, input shaft, and reducer's groove.
Step 2
Unscrew the screws on the dustproof hole on the outside of the reducer flange. Adjust the PCS system clamping ring so that its side hole aligns with the dustproof hole, and insert and tighten the Allen wrench. Then, remove the motor shaft key.
Step 3
Connect the motor and reducer naturally. During connection, ensure that the reducer's output shaft and the motor's input shaft are concentric and that their outer flanges are parallel. Inconsistent concentricity can lead to motor shaft breakage or reducer gear wear.
Additionally, during installation, never use a hammer or other hammer to strike the motor, as excessive axial or radial force can damage the bearings or gears. Always tighten the mounting bolts before tightening the tightening bolts. Before installation, wipe off the anti-rust oil from the motor input shaft, positioning boss, and reducer connection points with gasoline or zinc-sodium solution. The purpose is to ensure a tight connection and smooth operation, and to prevent unnecessary wear.
Before connecting the motor and the reducer, the motor shaft keyway should be perpendicular to the tightening bolts. To ensure even force distribution, first screw on the mounting bolts at any diagonal position, but do not tighten them completely. Then screw on the other two diagonal mounting bolts, and finally tighten all four mounting bolts one by one. Finally, tighten the tightening bolts. All tightening bolts must be tightened and checked using a torque wrench according to the specified fixed torque data.
The correct installation of the reducer and mechanical equipment is similar to the correct installation of the reducer and drive motor. The key is to ensure that the output shaft of the reducer is concentric with the shaft of the driven part.
