3.7.3.2 Oil filter
Introduction
The oil filter protects downstream units, measuring and control devices against dirt and
pollution.
Principle of operation
The oil filter comprises a housing with connections and a filter cartridge. The medium flows
through the filter housing, where, depending on the filter gauge, most of the dirt particles larger
than a defined size in the oil are filtered out. Dirty filter cartridges must be cleaned or replaced.
3.7.3.3 Pressure monitor
The pressure of the mounted oil supply system is monitored using a pressure monitor.
Further information
You can find additional information on the pressure monitor in the pressure monitor operating
instructions provided in the complete gear unit documentation.
You can find additional technical data in the separate data sheet and in the list of equipment
provided in the complete gear unit documentation.
3.7.4 Separate oil supply system
A separate oil supply system can be used for cooling the oil.
Further information
Further information about separate oil supply systems can be found in the oil supply system
operating instructions in the complete documentation for the gear unit.
You can find additional information about the components of the oil supply system in the
operating instructions for the components in the complete gear unit documentation.
You can find additional technical data in the separate data sheet and in the equipment list in
the complete gear unit documentation.
3.8 Couplings
Flexible couplings or safety couplings are generally used at the input end of the gear unit.
Use of rigid couplings or other input or output elements that generate additional radial or axial
forces (e.g. gear wheels, belt pulleys, flywheels or hydraulic couplings) must be agreed
contractually.
