Radius<br />
Calculation Example<br />
The Backlash Comparison chart can<br />
be used to determine the amount of<br />
linear movement that will be realized<br />
with a given backlash value.<br />
Example:<br />
A “K” Series gearhead is mounted,<br />
with the output shaft vertical, under a<br />
24” diameter turntable. The gearhead<br />
backlash is 10 arcminutes.<br />
Reading across the table, the angular<br />
value of 10 arcminutes is 0.167<br />
degrees.<br />
Further determination indicates 10<br />
arcminutes backlash will allow a linear<br />
movement of 0.0349 inches when<br />
measured at a 12 inch radius.<br />

<strong>Gear</strong>head Installation<br />
Notes<br />
<strong>Servo</strong> <strong>Gear</strong>heads are a high torque<br />
product. To insure that the specified<br />
torque ratings are attained, several<br />
series require high quality grade<br />
fasteners to attach the gear units to the<br />
machine:<br />
<strong>Servo</strong> Series<br />
C, F, K, KL, KS, KSS,<br />
P, PA, PE, PK, PKX<br />

Shaft Height in Foot-Mounted <strong>Gear</strong> <strong>Units</strong><br />
The shaft height tolerance of STÖBER drives complies with DIN 747 requirements.<br />
Shaft height tolerances are:<br />
Up to shaft height 50 mm: -0.4 mm<br />
Up to shaft height 250 mm: -0.5 mm<br />
Up to shaft height 630 mm: -0.6 mm<br />
Solid Shaft Specifications: The shaft end fit corresponds to DIN 748; i.e. diameter d [<br />
50 = tolerance ISO k6 diameter d >50 = tolerance ISO m6 Center holes in shafts with or<br />
without key correspond to DIN 332 T2 shape DR. The keys are in accordance with DIN<br />
6885 Sheet 1 (tall shape A). In helical bevel and helical worm gear units solid shafts are<br />
available with an output on both sides. Keys are aligned to 0.03 mm.<br />
For dynamic applications key<br />
connections should be avoided and<br />
the clearance of the key connection<br />
increases.<br />
