BUDDYBOX Operating Manual
5.3 To check before installation
– Data on name plate matches with other documents such as drawings, parts list, etc.
– In case of gearmotor, check if power is up to the motor requirements
– Inspect the gearbox for possible damage.
– Provide the recommended lubricants according to the environment of the installation.
5.4 Getting the unit ready for installation
The anti-corrosive agent (Valvoline Tectyl 846/K19) used for transportation and storage on the
shaft-ends or hollow shafts, and on the central seats must be removed before start up. This
anti- corrosive agent can be removed using an alkaline detergent; under no circumstances is it
to be removed mechanically (abrasive etc.). The alkaline detergent must not come into contact
with the seals.
When handling lubricants and anti-corrosive agents please observe the respective safety
instructions for people and environment according to DIN 52 900.
5.5 Installation of gears with hollow shaft and torque arm
Clean and degrease all contact areas.
Apply molybdenum disulde (MoS2) grease to the surface of the driven shaft and the inside of
the hollow shaft.
Mount the Buddybox onto the driven shaft.
If engagement is tight, slightly strike the edge of the hollow shaft with a mallet. NEVER hammer
the casing or oil seal. If the engagement is excessively tight, make a jig as shown in Fig. 1 for
smooth insertion.
The parallel bore tolerance is H7. If there is excessive impact or radial load, the engagement
between the bore and shaft should be tight (A tolerance of js6 or k6 is recommended for the
driven shaft).
