Chapter 6
Operation
This chapter describes the operation of the product.
Checking before operation
6.1.
After installing this product in the customer’s device, check the following points before starting operation.
• Components are fixed with each other correctly.
• The mounting bolts are tightened securely.
• The rotation section rotates in the desired direction.
Running-in operation
6.2.
We recommend that the running-in operation is performed.
Abnormal noise or torque irregularity may occur during operation, depending on the characteristics
of the lubricant. There is no problem with the quality when the symptom disappears after the
running-in operation is performed for 30 minutes or more (until the surface temperature of the
reduction gear body reaches around 50°C).
During the running-in operation, check the items in Table 7-1.
Precautions for operation
6.3.
Once the pre-operation checks and running-in operation are completed, operate the device safely by
observing the following precautions.
Keep away from the rotation section during operation of the device or until it is completely stopped.
Otherwise, you could be caught by the rotation section, which will result in serious injury.
If any abnormalities, such as abnormal noise or excessive vibration are found, stop the operation
immediately. Do not start the operation before the cause of the error is identified and corrective
measures are taken. Incorrect motion could cause injury.
The reduction gear could become extremely hot during operation. After stopping the operation,
never touch the reduction gear until it is completely cooled. Touching the reduction gear could cause
burns.
Do not operate the reduction gear under a condition that exceeds the allowable
acceleration/deceleration torque, allowable moment, and allowable output speed. It could cause
injury to the workers or damage to the reduction gear.
Operate the reduction gear while the surface temperature is below 60°C. Failure to do so could
cause premature damage.
When the reduction gear is used with the surface temperature within 40 to 60°C, refer to “7.4.1
Replacement period of lubricant”.
