Instructions for application of the gears
2.1 Installation position
Due to its universal construction, the gear can be integrated into a machine or a plant in nearly
every position required.
When placing the order, the customer can preset the installation position, the mounting position
and possibly the oil holes.
The predetermined installation position is decisive for the lubrication of the gear components
and may therefore not be subsequently altered at the plant location.

2.2 Mounting the gear
Due to the principle of the functioning of the gear, the output shaft as well as the input shaft are
subjected to variable torques. The following must therefore be observed:
•
The gear must be mounted on a rigid machined surface.
•
The fixing bolts must be secured and, if possible, the position of the gear should be
additionally fixed by means of dowel pins.
•
The connection between the gear and the driven load must be direct, free of play and
torsionally rigid. This also applies to the drive side of the gear.
2.3 Gear operation
The following should be observed with regards to gear operation:
•
Elasticity and play in the driven masses can result in vibration and must therefore be
avoided.
•
A possibly installed overload protection should be mounted on the output shaft.
