Gysin Planetary Gearbox Mounting Method
- Please refer to the illustration below.
- An explanation follows the illustration.
Mounting Procedures with Standard Motor Designs
Assembly Time of Gearbox to Motor is approximately 5 minutes or less.
The interfacing concept is illustrated in the above picture and explained as follows:
- The Motor is shown in green with the drive shaft pointing downward.
- The Pinion for the Gear Reducer (supplied by Gysin) slides onto the shaft, and is secured in place, usually either with an adhesive or with a pin through a hole in the pinion and in the shaft. For some applications, Gysin will machine the pinion directly into the motor shaft.
- The bronze colored Ring in the center is an Adapter Plate, custom designed and supplied by Gysin. It is designed to match the Pilot and Mounting Holes on the Motor.
- Mounting Bolts in the axial direction fasten the Adapter Plate to the Motor.
- The Gearbox then slides on the Adapter Plate with a precision fit between the two.
- Screws in the radial direction are then use to fasten the Gearbox to the Adapter Plate.
For those situations where a manufacturer is custom designing a motor for a specific application, the motor can be designed to directly mate with the gearbox without the use of an adapter plate.
