5-2) Coupling Installation
• When installing a coupling, do not impact or apply excessive thrust load to the shaft ; otherwise, the bearing may be
damaged or collar may be left.
• Thermal shrinking is the recommended installation method.
• when a sprocket, gear or pulley is coupled with the variator, use within the range of the allowable radial and axial load
defined on our catalog.
(1) When Using a Coupling
The accuracy of the dimensions (A, B, and X) shown in Fig.5 should be within the tolerance shown in Table 4.
(2) When Using a Chain Sprocket and Gear
• The chain tension angle should be perpendicular to the shaft.
• Refer to the chain catalog for the chain tension.
• Select sprockets and gears whose pitch diameter are three times the shaft diameter or greater.
• Install sprocket and gears so that their point of load application will be closer to the variator side with respect to the
length of the shaft. (Fig.6)
(3) When Using a V-belt
• Excessive V-belt tension will damage the shaft and bearing. Refer to the V-belt catalog for proper tension.
• The parallelism and eccentricity (ß) between two pulleys should be within 20'. (Fig.7)
• Use a matched set with the same circumferential length when more than one belt is to be installed.

The motor is not equipped with a protective device. However, it is compulsory to install an overload protector
according to facility electrical codes. It is recommended to install other protective devices (earth leakage breaker,
etc.), in addition to an overload protector, in order to prevent burning, electric shock, injury, and fire.
Never touch the terminals when measuring insulation resistance; otherwise, electric shock may result.
When using a star-delta starter , select one with an electromagnetic switch on the primary side
(3-contact type); otherwise, fire may result.
When a using 400V-class inverter to drive the motor, mount a suppresser filter or reactor on the inverter side,
or provide reinforced insulation on the motor side; otherwise, dielectric breakdown may cause fire or damage to
the equipment.
When driving an explosion-proof type motor with an inverter , use one inverter for one motor. Use the
approved inverter for the motor.
When measuring the insulation resistance of an explosion-proof type motor , confirm that there is no gas,
steam, or other explosive suhstance in the vicinity, in order to prevent possible explosion or ignition.
• Wiring for SUMITOMO standard 3-phase motor is shown below.
Refer to the respective instruction manual for brakemotors and motors made by other companies when they are used.
• Long cables cause voltage to drop. Select cables with appropriate diameter so that the voltage drop will be less than 2%.
• After wiring outdoor and explosion-proof type motors , check that terminal box mounting bolts are not loose, and
correctly attach the terminal box cover.
6-1) Attaching and Detaching the Terminal Cover ( 0.1~04kW 3-phase motor )

6-3) Measuring Insulation Resistance
• When measuring the insulation resistance, disconnect the motor from the control panel. Check the motor separately.
Measure the insulation resistance before wiring. The insulation resistance (R) varies according to the motor output,
voltage, type of insulation, coil temperature, humidity, dirt, period of operation, test electrification time, etc. Usually, the
insulation resistance exceeds the values shown in Table 10.
Motor voltage Megohmmeter voltage Insulation resistance (R)
Table 10 Insulation Resistance
Referance : The following equations are shown in JEC-2100.
R≥
Rated Voltage (V)
Rated Output (kW)+1000 (M Ω)
R≥
Rated Voltage(V)+Speed(rpm)/3
Rated Output(kW)+2000 +0.5(M Ω)
A drop in insulation resistance may be attributed to poor insulation. In that case, do not turn on the power. Contact our
nearest agent, distributor, or sales office.
6-4) Protection Coordination
(1) Use a molded case circuit breaker for protection against short circuit.
(2) Use an overload protection device that protects the unit against a surge of electric current exceeding that shown on the
rating plate.
(3) For an explosion-proof type motor , use an overload protector that can protect the unit within the allowable binding
hour by means of the locked rotor current shown on the rating plate.

COMMON
CAUTION
Conduct priming shown in the maintenance manual, before the start up of the main motor, in case of forced oil
lubrication by the trochoid pump; otherwise damage to the equipment may result.
For forced oil lubrication by trochoid pump, prime the pump, as shown in the maintenance manual, before starting
the main motor; otherwise, the equipment may be damaged.
(1) Because forced lubrication by the trochoid pump is necessary for the models with trochoid pump system as in "8-2
Confirmation of Lubrication Method (page 17)", a separate power source should be prepared for the pump. (Refer to
Table 6, 7 and Fig.10)
(2) Refer to Fig.11 for the trochoid pump wiring. At this point, connect so that the pump motor will rotate the designated
direction.
(3) Establish an electrical interlocking device between the trochoid pump motor and main motor that satisfies the following
two functions; (Refer to Fig.11)
1 Start-up time-The main motor stops when the trochoid pump stops.
2 During operation-The main motor stops when the trochoid pump stops for some unknown reason.
(4) To assure optimal lubrication conditions, the trochoid pump should be started-up at least 30 seconds before the start-up
of the main motor. (priming)

• Oil-lubricated models are shipped without oil. Units must be filled with the proper amount of recommended oil prior to
start-up.
• Never turn speed control handwheel when Beier Variator is not in operation.
If handwheel is turned when the unit is not in operation, this will exert undue force on internal parts which in turn may
break disc and other parts.
• When starting under full load condition, it is easier to start on low speed range.
This is because Beier Variator can give a larger torque in low speed range.
• Cushion start is required when the moment of inertia of driven machine is big. Please consult us.
After the unit is installed, filled with oil and properly wired, check the following before operating:
(1) Is the wiring correct ?
(2) Is the unit properly coupled with the driven machine ?
(3) Are foundation bolts tightened firmly ?
(4) Is the direction of rotation as required.
(5) Does the oil level in the oil-lubricated model reach the top line of the oil gauge when the unit is at rest ?
After confirming these items without a load, gradually apply a load.
Check the items shown in Table 8.
Is abnormal sound or
vibration generated ?
(1) Is the housing deformed because the installation surface is not flat ?
(2) Is insufficient rigidity of the installation base generating excessive noise ?
(3) Is the shaft center aligned with the driven machine ?
(4) Is the vibration of the driven machine transmitted to the gearmotor or reducer ?
Is the surface temper-
ature of the variator
abnormally high ?
(1) Is the voltage rise or drop substantial ?
(2) Is the ambient temperature too high ?
(3) Does the current exceed the rated current shown on the rating plate ?
Table 8 Items to Check During Initial Start-up and Break-in Period
If any abnormality is found, stop operation and contact our nearest agent, distributor, or sales office.

8-1) Daily Inspection
To ensure proper and continued optimum operation, use Table 9 to perform daily inspections.
Inspection item Details of inspection
Electric
current Is the current below the rated current shown on the rating plate ?
Noise Is there abnormal sound ? Is there sudden change in sound ?
Vibration Is there excessive vibration ? Does vibration change suddenly ?
Oil or grease leakage Does oil or grease leak from the gear section ?
Foundation bolt Are foundation bolts loose ?
Chain and V-belt Are chain and V-belt loose ?
Oil level
(Oil-lubricated
model )
At rest Does the oil level reach the top line of the oil gauge ?
In operation When compared to the oil level at rest, is this level different ?
When using the
trochoid pump
Is the function of oil signal or flow gauge normal ?
When the function is abnormal, stop the unit and inspect it ; otherwise inadequate oil will cause poor
lubrication of reduction portion, broken pump and fill-up the oil pipe.
Surface temperature
Is the surface temperature abnormally high ?
Does the surface temperature rise suddenly ?
The temperature rise during operation differs according to the models. When the difference
between the temperature of the casing surface and the ambient temperature is approx. 50°C,
there will be no problem if there is no fluctuation.
Table 9 Daily Inspection
When any abnormality is found during the daily inspection, take corrective measures listed in section 10, Troubleshooting
(page30.) If the abnormality cannot be corrected, contact our nearest agent, distributor or sales office.

8-2) Confirmation of Lubrication Method
• Refer to the applicable items regarding maintenance. Improper maintenance may decrcase unit life.
(1) Refer to Table 10–12 to confirm the gear lubrication method for your unit.
(2) Table 14 lists maintenance manual pages that can be referenced regarding lublication maintenance.
1. For models with trochoid pump, before start of Beier Variator or Beier-Cyclo Variator, start
pump motor and make sure there is mo abnormality in lubrication. Then start main motor. For
this requirement, interlock power supply for main motor with pump motor and give pump
motor a lead time of 30 to 60 seconds. Wire pump motor so that it will run in the specified
direction.
2. Oil filter (Fig. 12) is equiped on piping of forced lubrication type. Turn a handle on the oil filter
and take out clogging. At the beginning of operation, clean the filter once a day.
3. Discharge the sludge from drain plug at the bottom edge when the machine stops.

Table 18 Traction oil designated for D Type (ND Series)
1For operation in winter or at a relativery low ambient temperature, use lubricating oils with lower viscosity.
In the case of forced lubrication models , a plunger pump or trochoid pump may cause cavitation and necessary
amount of oil may not be supplied. In such a case, a burned main body may result.
2For N02A and M02B with small input capacity in particular, use of lower viscosity oils is recommended.
3Table 19 shows selection standard for viscosity of lubricating oil.

models less than 4300mm2/s
Forced oil lubrication
models less than 2200mm2/s
Table 19 Selection Standard for Oil Viscosity for A Type and B Type
4To ensure smooth start, use lubricating oil whose pour point is at least 5-10°C lower than ambient temperature.
5If ambient temperature varies over a wide range, use lubricating oil whose viscosity remains stable, or lubricating oil
that will satisfy requirments in Notes 3and 4in high viscosity index.
6When units are always used at an ambient temperature other than 0 to 40°C, consult with the factory because
depending on models it may need to change some parts or preheat or cool lubricating oil.
(3) Oil Quantity
Table 20, 21 shows approx. quantity of oil. Be sure to check the oil level through the oil gauge.
Note: Regarding 50A—200A and 50B—150B, amounts in pipe and oil cooling device. Amounts of oil in the oil cooling device : 3.2L for 50A. 75A, 100A,
