Why is my DANA BREVINI E Engine gearbox not working in low speeds/frequencies?
- M
  Michael MyersAug 5, 2025
  If your DANA Engine gearbox isn't working well at low speeds or frequencies, it may be due to the frequency inverter operating at very low frequencies, which requires optimized inverter and motor parameters. Also, the gearbox efficiency might vary significantly, especially in worm-gearboxes. It's recommended to operate worm-gearboxes between 20-70 Hz and helical gear boxes between 10-70 Hz. Consider using a higher power motor and frequency inverter, or adjust the gearbox ratio to work within the recommended frequency range.

Why won't my DANA BREVINI E gearbox start?

  David RodriguezAug 14, 2025
  If your DANA Engine gearbox isn't starting, first check the voltage supply and frequency of your electrical connection to ensure they match the motor's nameplate. Refer to the motor manufacturer's start-up manual. If the problem persists, the load may be too high for the motor. Try loosening the gearbox from the load/torque. If it then works, the starting torque is insufficient, and a higher motor power is needed. For single-phase motors, also check the starting and running capacitors.

  If the DANA Engine gearbox doesn't start, check the voltage supply and frequency of your electrical connection, ensuring they match the motor's nameplate. Refer to the motor manufacturer's start-up manual. Also, review the frequency inverter/driver manual. To check if the issue is with the driver or frequency inverter, bypass it and supply direct voltage to the motor according to the motor's nameplate.

  Karl ClaytonAug 25, 2025
  If the DANA Engine gearbox doesn't start, check the voltage supply and frequency of your electrical connection, ensuring they match the motor's nameplate. Refer to the motor manufacturer's start-up manual. Also, refer to the frequency inverters or drivers manual. To see if the problem is on your driver or frequency inverter, take out the driver/frequency inverter and make direct voltage supply to the motor according the motors nameplate.

Why does my DANA BREVINI E gearbox not start in the mornings?
- W
  Willie ReevesAug 30, 2025
  If your DANA Engine gearbox doesn't start in the mornings or after a long stop, and the ambient temperature is below +5 Celsius, the oil may not be suitable for these conditions. Consider changing to lower viscosity oils, consulting this manual for the correct oil type. Alternatively, if possible, operate in higher ambient temperatures. If the issue persists, a higher power motor may be necessary.
