aids. The AP04 must be used exclusively for these
applications.

4. Installation
The unit should be used only according to the pro-
tection level provided. Protect the unit, if necessa-
ry, against environmental influences such as spra-
yed water, dust, knocks, extreme temperatures.
Attention: The unit should not be exposed to elec-
tromagnetic fields. Especially do not mount close to
adhesive or other permanent magnets.
Before mounting the AP04, the enclosed self-adhe-
sive gasket (microcelluar rubber) must be stuck on
the bearing support or distance plate, respectively.
This helps to level possible unevenness and pre-
vents dust from invading the bearing.
Slide AP04 onto the solid shaft, insert torque pin
into the prebored mounting hole and use grub
screw M3 to fix the AP04's hollow shaft to the
machine's solid shaft (see fig. 1).
Please note: Do not tighten the grub screws with
more than 0,2 Nm!
• Ensure sliding fit between solid shaft and AP04.
• Ensure accurate shaft alignment and mount the
AP04 without force. Do not exceed the values
for the maximum axial and radial shaft load. If
the shaft is not correctly aligned, strain on the
bearings will result, which may cause overheating
and irreparable damage.
• Ensure that AP04 does not jam and that it is moun-
ted without strain.
• Knocks on the unit should be avoided!
