5. Technical data
6. Assembly tips
Housing’s tolerance range H7 refers to -10°C to +80°C work temperature range. At higher temperature the tolerance increases for about 0,15% every 10°C.
After-machining is permissible.
Assembly by press-fit (phase on the housing is necessary). Bushes have phases on both ends. Hardened steel shafts are recommended.
