Transport The delivery must be checked for possible damage incurred during transport as soon as it arrives. If any is found, the transport company must be advised immediately. If it must be presumed that the transport damage would restrict proper operation, commissioning may not be carried out. Installation of transmission elements Gearboxes with a hollow input shaft need to have MoS2 paste or spray (e.g. Molykote) applied to the motor shaft/counterpart before the counterpart is fitted. Caution! Clamp connections may not be treated with MoS2 paste or spray (e.g. Molykote). Clamp connections must...

Preparatory tasks Material damage! Improper cleaning! The corrosion protection should never be mechanically removed (e.g. with an abrasive).  Only alkaline cleaning agents may be used for cleaning. Care should be taken to ensure that the seals do not come into contact with the cleaning agent. When handling lubricants and anti-corrosion agents, the personal and environmental safety regulations are to be observed in accordance with the corresponding safety regulations and DIN 52900 safety data sheets.  The anti-corrosion agent (brand Valvoline Tectyl 846/K19) used on the shaft ends or hollow...

The specified torque values allow for a tightening factor of 1.4 and a friction factor of 0.15. The values must be recalculated if the conditions differ. In case of doubt, contact Sumitomo Drive Technologies. The contact surfaces of the slow-speed shaft flange and housing must be clean and dry. The gearbox connections and torques can be safety transmitted under these conditions. The equivalent stress, i.e. the degree to which the yield strength stress is used during tightening, amounts to 0.9. "Yield point controlled tightening" as per VDI 2230 increases the transmittable torque of bolts by approximately...

For gearboxes which are sealed by means of locking caps on the output (e.g. D series), axial securing of these caps by the customer connection design is recommended. For implementation questions (e.g. tolerances), please contact Sumitomo Drive Technologies. The creation of a maintenance plan is strongly recommended. It is the customer's responsibility to evaluate critical control limits according to the environmental conditions of their application. Therefore, the following recommendations are only of limited use and may need to be amended or extended:  Check oil seals for leaks.  The seals...
