Technical Data Reducers Small-Size Gear Motor Handling
This section describes general use of gear motors, hypoid motors, and croise motors.
For more information, see the instruction manual provided with the product.
Inspection
1. Inspection before starting
After installation and wiring are completed, check the following items before turning on the switch.
- ・Confirm that the appropriate breaker and overcurrent relay are used.
- ・Confirm that the wiring is correct.
- ・Confirm that the installation wires are securely connected.
In addition, take measures to prevent dangers. For example, take appropriate measures when dangers can be expected during the operation of gear motors, hypoid motors, or croise motors, and take appropriate measures when these motors stop working properly.
2. Fluctuation of voltage and frequency
When the voltage and frequency applied to the motor are not specified values, characteristics may change.
A fluctuation in the motor voltage of +/- 10% of the rated voltage will not affect operation
3. Trial operation
No trial run is made prior to shipment.
For croise motors in particular, to demonstrate proper performance, a trial run should be conducted for a period of about one day by applying a load on the order of one-half to one-third of full load.
4. Load
A load higher than the specified value may shorten the life of the motor and gear, and may damage the gear motor, hypoid motor, and croise motor.
Rated current values are written on the nameplates of the gear motor, hypoid motor, and croise motor. Be sure not to exceed these values.
5. Inspection after starting
After starting operation, inspect the following items.
- a. Confirm that the direction of rotation is correct.
- b. Confirm that the maximum value of the current is within the value specified on the nameplate.
- c. Confirm that there is no abnormal vibration or noise.
- d. Confirm that startup is not too frequent.
- e. Confirm that there is no shock.
Maintenance
Conducting daily maintenance requires only that the operators use measuring tools and their senses. Check the following.
- ・Noise ...Make sure that noise is not louder than usual and that there are no periodic abnormal sounds.
- ・Vibration ...Make sure there is no abnormal vibration
- ・Temperature ...Make sure the motor temperature is not higher than usual.
