Installing the planetary gear

If the stepper motor is ordered together with the planetary gear, the motor and the gear unit are fitted in the factory. For retrospective installation please note the following:

  • The planetary gear of the AG1000-xxxx series are supplied with a separate adapter shaft and integrated sun wheel.
  • Slide the adapter shaft onto the stepper motor shaft up to the end stop and secure it with a heat resistant, industrial adhesive (e.g. Loctite).
  • Before applying the adhesive to the adapter shaft clean the motor shaft with a suitable solvent.
  • Slide the gear unit onto the adapter shaft. Screw the gear flange to the motor flange. Ensure the screws are tightened evenly to avoid tensions in the component.
