Before Using a Speed Control System

Mounting Motor/Gearhead to Machinery

Mounting BX Series, FBL II Series, AXH Series, ES Series (V Series) and BHF Series Mounting AXU Series, ES Series (World K Series) and US Series

The BX Series, FBL II Series, AXH Series and BHF Series are all combination types in which the motor and gearhead are pre-assembled. Use the mounting screws provided to mount the device.

 

Use the screws provided with the gearhead and secure all the parts so that there are no gaps between the motor flange face and the pilot end face of the gearhead.

 
  
 

Dimensions of Mounting Holes
The dimension of the four motor mounting holes is shown as pitch diameter in the dimensions of each product. The distance between the mounting holes is shown in the table.


Mounting Method for Hollow Shaft Type Gearheads
Example of Attaching the Load


Attach the load according to load shaft conditions as shown in the
figure below. The hollow shaft inside dimension is machined to a tolerance of H8, and incorporates a key slot for load shaft attachment. A load shaft tolerance of h7 is recommended. The key provided with the product should be secured to the shaft. Also, apply a lubricant such as molybdenum disulphide grease to the load shaft and the inner circumference of the hollow shaft. The recommended dimensions of the load shaft are shown in the table to the right.

Method of Securing the Load to an Output Shaft


The output shafts of high-power gearheads are provided with a key slot to secure the load, while the shafts of gearheads with comparatively low power have been given a shaft flat. Round shaft motors come in two types, those with and without a shaft flat on the motor output shaft.


Shaft Flat

0GN, 2GN, 3GN, 4GN, 5GN, 4GN‚RAA, 5GN‚RAA gearhead AXH015 and round shaft type motors with a motor frame size of ‚3.15 inch (80mm) or larger.

   

Key Slot
5GU, 5GC, 5GCH, 5GU‚RAA, RH Gearheads, 5GU‚KHA, V Series, BH Series,FBL II Series, AXH Series (except 15 W)
 

On round shaft types, the output shaft is machined to the accuracy of H7 in dimension and 0.0008 inch or less in eccentricity. Therefore, when connecting a load to the shaft if the device, take measurements using a dial gauge or similar instrument so that there is no eccentricity. When the shaft center of two shafts does not fit, use a flexible coupling (MCL coupling) etc. to avoid unnecessary strain on the shaft. The same procedure should be applied when securing a load to gearheads.
 


Securing the Load to a Shaft Flat

With a shaft flat, use a locking screw to ensure that the lead does not slip. We recommend using double point screws or other screws with strong locking power.

   


Securing the Load Using a Key Slot
Secure loads using the key provided with the gearhead after machining the key slot on the equipment to be connected (sprocket etc.).

Note:
Ensure that the gearhead shaft is not subjected to shock in the axial direction, since this will have an adverse effect on the bearings. Be especially careful not to us a hammer when inserting the key.
