5 Installation
This chapter contains information on how to correctly mount standard STOBER drive designs and avoid injury to persons or
damage to property. Differing information for customer-specific designs is included in the order documents.
Observe the technical documentation of the motor for the assembly and electrical connection of the motor.
Inspect the drive for transport or storage damage. If the drive is damaged, do not install it and contact the STOBER Service
department.
The following tools and equipment are required for mounting the drive:
§If necessary due to the overall weight, lifting gear with appropriate fastening elements and sufficient lifting capacity
§Open-end wrench set
§Socket wrench set
§Long hexagon insert set
§Torque wrench
§Grease
§Cleaning agent or solvent
Information about the specific tools or equipment can be found in the respective chapter.
5.1 Cleaning agent and solvent
Upon delivery, unpainted surfaces of the drive are protected by a corrosion protection agent. The corrosion protection
agent must be removed from contact surfaces such as shaft ends and flange contact surfaces before assembly. STOBER
recommends removing the corrosion protection with a suitable cold cleaner (e.g. Carlofon Autocleaner) which, in contrast
to volatile solvents, is almost odorless and does not weaken the sealing lips of the shaft seal rings. Otherwise, you can use
commercially available solvents.
Be aware that all surfaces that come into contact with each other in a clamp connection must be degreased with a cold
cleaner or solvent for error-free torque transmission. Additional information can be found in the following chapters.
ATTENTION!Shaft seal rings can be damaged by solvents! Prevent shaft seal rings from coming into contact with solvents
when cleaning and degreasing unpainted surfaces.
5.2 Permitted tilting torques at the gear unit input
If you mount a STOBER gear unit on the machine in a horizontal mounting position, check that the permitted tilting torque
is not exceeded on the gear unit input before mounting the corresponding motor. Information on the permitted tilting
torque can be found in the corresponding catalog (Additional documentation [}12]).
5.3 Tolerances for the add-on motor

5.5.2 Mounting a hollow shaft with keyway
This chapter describes how to mount gear units with a hollow shaft and keyway on a machine shaft. A keeper plate is
integrated in the hollow shaft, with the help of which the hollow shaft can be mounted on and removed from the machine
shaft.
The inner hole of the hollow shaft has a spiral-shaped groove. This helps distribute the grease in the inner hole of the
hollow shaft and makes mounting and removing the hollow shaft easier.
Tools
The following tools are required for assembling the hollow shaft (not included in the scope of delivery of the gear unit):
§Cylinder screw for mounting the hollow shaft (size M5 for KL1 gear unit and M6 for KL2 gear unit)
§DIN 125 washer for cylinder screw
§Grease
Prerequisites
§The information in the chapter Cleaning agent and solvent [}15] is observed
§Length of the machine shaft ≥ 2.2×inner diameter of the hollow shaft;
§Length of the feather key ≥ 2×inner diameter of the hollow shaft;
§The feather key corresponds to DIN 6885-1.
§The machine shaft has the tolerance of ISO k6 (the inner hole of the hollow shaft has the tolerance of ISO H7).
Procedure
1. Remove the cover of the hollow shaft, if present.
2. Remove the corrosion protection from the machine shaft, inner hole of the hollow shaft and other contact surfaces.
