5.0 INSTALLATION
5.1 INSTALLING THE GEAR UNIT
The entire installation process must be planned as early as the general design phase of the
machine. The person authorised to do the work must, if necessary, set out a safety plan
to protect the health and safety of all persons directly involved and apply all applicable
legislation.
1. Carefully remove all packaging and protective product residue from the gear unit.
Pay particular attention to the mating surfaces.
2. Check that the data on the nameplate correspond to those specied in the purchase order.
3. Ensure that the structure to which the gear unit is to be mounted is sufciently robust and rigid
to support its weight and operating stresses.
4. Check that the machine to which the gear unit is to be installed is switched off and cannot be
accidentally switched on again.
5. Make sure all mating surfaces are at.
6. Make sure the shaft/shaft or shaft/ bore are perfectly aligned for coupling.
7. Fit suitable guards to protect against the gear unit’s external moving parts.
8. If the work environment is corrosive for the gear unit or any of its parts, follow the special
precautions required for aggressive environments. In this case, contact the BONFIGLIOLI RIDUT-
TORI sales service.
9. We recommend applying a protective paste to all gear unit/motor mating surfaces and other
parts (Klüberpaste 46 MR 401 or other product with similar properties and application range) to
ensure optimal coupling and protection against fretting corrosion.
10. In the case of outdoor installations tted with an electric motor, protect the latter from direct
sunlight and the weather by means of guards or a casing. Also make sure that the assembly is
properly ventilated.
5.1.1 Flanged execution
Machine the coupling counterange on the machine to which the gear unit is to be installed.
The anges must be plane and machined with machine tools. Connect the output shaft to the
driven component as indicated in the drawings below.
