Installation
This chapter contains information on how to correctly mount standard STOBER drive designs and avoid injury to persons or
damage to property. Differing information for customer-specific designs is included in the order documents.
Observe the technical documentation of the motor for the assembly and electrical connection of the motor.
Inspect the drive for transport or storage damage. If the drive is damaged, do not install it and contact the STOBER Service
department.
The following tools and equipment are required for mounting the drive:
§
If necessary due to the overall weight, lifting gear with appropriate fastening elements and sufficient lifting capacity
§
Open-end wrench set
§
Socket wrench set
§
Long hexagon insert set
§
Torque wrench
§
Grease
§
Cleaning agent or solvent
Information about the specific tools or equipment can be found in the respective chapter.
5.1
Cleaning agent and solvent
Upon delivery, unpainted surfaces of the drive are protected by a corrosion protection agent. The corrosion protection
agent must be removed from contact surfaces such as shaft ends and flange contact surfaces before assembly. STOBER
recommends removing the corrosion protection with a suitable cold cleaner (e.g. Carlofon Autocleaner) which, in contrast
to volatile solvents, is almost odorless and does not weaken the sealing lips of the shaft seal rings. Otherwise, you can use
commercially available solvents.
Be aware that all surfaces that come into contact with each other in a clamp connection must be degreased with a cold
cleaner or solvent for error-free torque transmission. Additional information can be found in the following chapters.
ATTENTION! Shaft seal rings can be damaged by solvents!
Prevent shaft seal rings from coming into contact with
solvents when cleaning and degreasing unpainted surfaces.
5.2
Mounting the motor on a gear unit
This chapter contains information on how to mount a motor on a STOBER gear unit with a motor adapter. The motor
adapter type of your gear unit can be found on the nameplate of the gear unit. STOBER recommends using a motor with a
shaft without a feather key, since the keyway negatively affects smooth operation.
If you have a STOBER geared motor, you can skip this chapter.
ATTENTION! Damage to encoders, bearings and shafts due to improper assembly!
Never use force when
mounting drive elements with fittings, e.g. hitting drive elements, shafts or the motor or gear unit housing with a hammer,
and instead install them in accordance with the instructions in the documentation.
Information
To make mounting the motor easier, stick to the following principal assembly order when possible:
▪
First mount the motor on the gear unit, then the geared motor on the machine
▪
Mount the motor on the gear unit with the motor shaft pointing down vertically in order to prevent unfavorable
shifting and tilting of the motor shaft.
