4-1) Location of installation Ambient temperature: 15 to 105 F Ambient humidity: 85% max. Ambient atmosphere: There shall be no corrosive gas, explosive gas, or steam. The installation space shall be well ventilated, and free from dust. Location of installation: Indoors Special specifications are necessary when installation conditions are other than those mentioned here. In such cases, contact the nearest agent, dealer or service office. When a product is made according to special specifications for outdoor use or use in explosive environments, the product can be safely operated under those specified conditions without problem. 4-2) Installation angle The installation angle shall be within the limits shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Limits for installation angle Install PARAMAX on a sufficiently rigid base. Use installation bolts corresponding to SAE strength class 8 or its equivalent. 4-3) Foundation Reducer must be mounted on a rigid foundation which prevents flexing, vibration or shaft misalignment. The reducer must be level within.002 per foot, both front to back and side to side. Coupling With Other Machines! CAUTION Install appropriate guard devices around rotating parts; otherwise, injury may result. When coupling PARAMAX, confirm that the alignment error is within the coupling manufacturer s specified limits shown in the maintenance manual, drawings, catalog, etc.; otherwise, damage to the system may result. Correctly tighten respective bolts to the specified torque shown in the drawing, catalog, etc.; otherwise, injury may result from disintegrating couplings. When a belt is used for coupling the unit with another machine, check that the belt tension and the parallelism of the pulley are within the specified limits. When the unit is directly coupled with another machine, check that the direct coupling accuracy is within the specified limits; otherwise, the system may be damaged due to misalignment. Remove the key temporarily attached to the ouptut shaft of PARAMAX when the shaft is free-rotating (i.e., not coupled); otherwise, injury may result. Confirm the direction of rotation before coupling PARAMAX with its driven machine. Incorrect direction of rotation may cause injury or damage to the system. 4
5-1) Installation of coupler When attaching a coupler, be careful not to apply impact force or excessive thrust to the shaft; otherwise, the bearing may be damaged. Shrink fit or shaft-end thread is recommended for mounting (Fig. 2). (1) Use of coupling The dimensions (A, B, and X) illustrated in Fig. 3 shall be within the tolerance shown in Table. 1. Fig. 2 Table 1 Aligning tolerance for coupling Tolerance for A 0.002 dimension Tolerance for B dimension X dimension 0.002 Specified by coupling manufacturer Fig. 3 (2) Use of chain, sprocket, or gear The chain tension angle shall be perpendicular to the shaft of PARAMAX. The pitch circle of the sprocket or gear shall be more than three times the shaft diameter. Locate the sprocket or gear as close to PARAMAX as possible so that the point of application of the load will be closer to the PARAMAX vertical centerline (Fig. 4). (3) Use of V belt Excessive V belt tension will damage the shaft and bearing. The amount must be specified by V belt manufacturer. Accuracy of parallelism (β) between two pulleys shall be less than 20 (Fig. 5). Use a matched set with identical circumferential length when more than one V belt is used. Fig. 4 Fig. 5 5-2) Hollow shaft 5-2-1) Shrink disc type The shrink disc has a keyless shrink fit mechanism which shrinks hub (HB) mechanically through the tightening locking bolt (ZS), and holds shaft and hub as one fixture (Fig. 6). Fig. 6 Full mounted position 5
Mounting procedure (Fig. 7) (1) Clean and degrease contact surfaces (a) and (c). (2) Smear surface (c) with Molykote 321 or its equivalent. However, keep surface (a) as clean as possible (no grease). (3) Slide O-ring (b) onto the shaft. (4) Mount the reducer on the driven shaft and screw nut (e) until faces (g) and (h) make contact. (5) Set the shrink disk (k) at dimensions (LV). Tighten locking bolt (ZS) at specified torque (TA) (using a torque wrench). Make sure that both plates are parallel when tightening bolts. After confirming that the shrink disc is set correctly, tighten the bolts with a wrench of appropriate length. Uniformly tighten bolts clockwise (not diagonally) while keeping both plates parallel. It is recommended to tighten respective bolts by 30 each time. Note 1. In case of a vertical type unit, mount a thrust washer (B) to prevent the reducer from moving when locking nut (ZS) is loosened (Fig. 6). Note 2. A high-tensile bolt (SAE Grade 8) is used as a locking bolt (ZS). When replacing it, use one specified by the manufacturer. Fig. 7 Mounting Removal procedure (Fig. 8) (1) Loosen locking bolt (ZS) and remove shrink disc (k). (2) Set thrust washer (f) and hexagon head bolt (n). Remove the reducer from the driven shaft using bolt (m). Note: Parts (d), (e), (f), (ZY), (m), and (n) are optional. Order these as required. Fig. 8 Removal 5-2-2) Key way connection The hollow shaft bore is provided with retaining ring (d). Ring (d) is the essential component for mounting, securing and removing the unit. Mounting procedure (Fig. 9) (1) Slide O-ring (i) over the driven shaft. (2) Smear surface of shaft (e) with molybdenum disulfide grease. (3) Turn nut (b) and slide the reducer over the driven shaft. Use ring (c) as necessary. Securing (Fig. 10) (1) After mounting the reducer on the driven shaft, fix bolt (f). (Bolt (f) is not supplied with the unit.) (2) The bore should be protected by cover (g). Fig. 9 Mounting Fig. 10 Securing 6
Special Cases (Fig. 11) (1) If the driven shaft has no shoulder (Fig. 11) when mounting, provide a distance ring (h) for fixing in place. (Distance ring (h) is not supplied with the unit.) Fig. 11 Securing (driven shaft without shoulder) Removal procedure (Fig. 12) (1) Remove ring (d), mount bolt (n), and reset ring (d). Attach bolt (J) to ring (d), and turn bolt (J) to disconnect the hollow shaft from the driven shaft. Note 1. Parts (a), (b), (c), (n), and (J) are optional. Order these as required. Fig. 12 Removal 5-2-3) Torque arm (The torque arm is optional.) The hollow shaft reducer is fixed by the torque arm to prevent the reducer from revolving by an opposite reaction force. Fig. 13 shows the construction of a standard torque arm. Select a torque arm support with proper construction and strength, taking into consideration the reaction force of the reducer and the impact load. Note 1. The number of disc spring(s) differs according to the size of the reducer. Note 2. Use bolt (T) and nut (M) classified as SAE strength class 8.

Supply oil before operation. 6-2) Splash lubrication In standard cases, splash lubrication is applied to horizontal PARAMAX when the high-speed shaft speed is 750-1800 rpm. 6-3) Forced lubrication! CAUTION For a system in which a lubricant motor pump is provided separately, switch on the pump motor prior to switching on the reducer motor. This will enable proper lubrication of the bearings prior to start-up. Failure to do so may damage the unit. Use a flow switch and/or sight to verify that lubricant is circulating, and for emergency motor stop if necessary. 6-4) Oil quantity An estimated quantity of oil for standard specifications is shown in item 12. Oil quantity. The oil quantity shown in the catalog is not exact. Use a dipstick or visible oil gauge to check the oil level. 8
