Installation The area of installation should have an ambient temperature of 5 to 40°C, be well-ventilated, low in humidity, and have little or no dust. Do not use the reducer in locations with corrosive liquids or gases, or in fl ammable or explosive locations. If the reducer is to be used outdoors, furnish a cover or similar protection to avoid direct exposure to rain.
Mounting: Use a strong and fl at mounting stand and securely mount the reducer to it. Mounting directly (fl ange mounting) When mounting the reducer directly to the fl oor or wall, take note of the following: 1) The oil seal and cap protrude about 1 mm from the mounting surface. Leave at least 1 mm of clearance between the reducer and mounting surface as shown in the following fi gure. 2) After removing the four mounting bolts, promptly install the reducer. Handle with care to prevent lubrication oil from leaking. Unit: mm • TM13E30B φD = 35 • TM10E10A φD = 30 T=1 T=1
Bolt sizes and tightening torque • TM13E30B M8x80 (4x) Torque (N.m) 12 to 14 • TM10E10A M6x60 (4x) Torque (N.m) 4.9 to 5.9 Connection with driven machine When connecting the reducer, use caution as there is a risk of damage to the input/output shaft bearings if the sprockets and gears are tapped strongly. Accurately center the belts and chains and do not subject them to an overhanging load that exceeds the specified value. Lubrication In most situations the lubrication oil does not need to be replaced or topped off, but if it is replaced every 10,000 hours of use. This will increase the service life of the reducer. An Example of Lubrication Oil is Mineral Gear oil such as Mobil Cylinder Oil 600W OIl volume per model • TM13E30B Oil Volume is 170 ml • TM10E10A Oil Volume is 80 ml Replace the lubrication oil according to the following procedure. • Remove the plugs at the center of the worm shaft on both sides of the housing. • Turn the housing on its side and drain the lubrication oil. • When the lubrication oil is fully drained, rinse the interior of the housing by flushing it with oil. Use a dropper and fill with lubrication oil from the oil filling • port. Do not mix the oil with other brands.
Operating precautions • When you have finished installing the reducer, check that the (1) direction of rotation is correct, (2) the bolts are not loose, and (3) the reducer is properly connected to the driven machine. • In order to prevent accidents before they happen; Make sure the equipment incorporates failsafe measures due to the use of the reducer, or in the event the reducer malfunctions.
Maintenance precautions (Safety) • When performing maintenance, wear suitable clothing and use protection including safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc. • To prevent secondary accidents, keep the surrounding area safe and tidy. • Always turn the power off and wait for the machine to come to a full stop. Also, use lock-outs to prevent unintentional power supply. • The reducer reaches extremely high temperatures during operation. • Do not touch with your bare hands. • Read and follow labor safety codes and standards. • Make daily inspections.
For a gearbox, use a mineral or synthetic extreme pressure (EP) type hydraulic oil or gear oil, with a typical ISO viscosity grade range of 68-220, depending on usage conditions.
