Precautions

 Clean all parts with cleaning solvent and dry with compressed air.
 Rework damaged parts and before assembling, prepare all replacement parts.
 Coat the sliding parts, bearings and gears with clean gear oil.
 Replace the O-rings, and floating seals.
 Replace screws (6). DO NOT REUSE THESE SCREWS!
 Use a torque wrench to tighten the screws and plugs to the specified torque.

Tightening torque
Tightening torque

Item no. Part name Thread size Tightening torque

40 Screw M20 53 kgf m (520 Nm) (383 lbf ft)
6 Screw M12 12.5 kgf m (123 Nm) (90 lbf ft)
42 Plug PF 1/2 6 kgf m (60 Nm) (43 lbf ft)

Assembly

1. Cooling down the bearing_main and then press-fit the bearing_main (2) into housing (1).

Figure 1
Installation, bearing_main

 Tools: Plastic hammer

 NOTE!
The outer races of the angular bearing must be properly aligned and fully seated.

NOTE!
Press-fit using a press or hammer.

2. Press-fit seal_floating on motor and housing side (1).

Install housing on motor.

Figure 2
Installation, seal_floating

 Tool: floating seal assembly jig

NOTE!
Apply a thin coat of grease (NLGI #2) to the O-ring.

NOTE!
Apply gear-oil onto the contact face of the both motor and housing side seal_ring.

WARNING
The parts are heavy. Take appropriate safety cautions when handling them.

3. Install shim (3), retainer (2) and bolts (1).

 Figure 3
Installation, shim and retainer

WARNING
The parts are heavy. Take appropriate safety cautions when handling them.

4. Shim adjusting method:

Selection of shim thickness

a. Place the measuring Jig (1) on bearing and tighten bolt 2 EA with tightening torque: 12.5 kgf m. After that,
release those bolts.
b. Push down bearing by tightening 2 EA or 4 EA of bolts with following tightening torque.
NOTE!
– 2 EA tightening torque: 2.2 kfg m (22 N m) (16 lbf ft)

– 4 EA tightening torque: 1.1 kfg m (11 N m) (8 lbf ft)

c. Measure the dimension “A” and B" (2), calculate thickness of shim with following formula, shim thickness = B -
A + (0 ~ 0.1).
NOTE!
When tightening 2EA bolts, measure at as near as possible to bolts

d. Select a shim of the appropriate thickness, align the retainer correctly, and tighten screws with the specified
torque.

 Tools: 10 mm bit socket (M12), Torque wrench, Depth gauge, shim thickness measuring tool.

NOTE!
Shim: 0.1, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8 and 1.0 mm

NOTE!
Apply Loctite # 277 onto the thread of screws.
