1.3. IDENTIFICATION
Inquiries concerning a gear unit should always specify the unit's complete type code and
manufacturing number, which can be found on the nameplate. The nameplate, which is fitted on
each gear unit, also contains ratings and/or torque, speed and lubrication instructions. This
information is essential to identify positively the unit supplied by HANSEN.
2. SHIPPING
Prior to shipment each unit has been inspected and accepted by the QUALITY CONTROL
DEPARTMENT according to order specifications, and after no load test of several hours in its
normal operating position and at speed indicated on the nameplate.
2.1. SHIPPING CONDITIONS
Unless otherwise specified, gear units are shipped in unpacked condition and depending on
necessity, fixed on wooden pallets with open crating protection. Sometimes parts, such as spare
filter elements, are separately packed. In such events, the end-user must take care of the
assembly (see chapter 5. INSTALLATION p. 5).
The HANSEN P4 gear unit is shipped without oil.
All grease lubrication points are factory filled.
2.2. PAINTING
The standard external paint for HANSEN gear units is an epoxy primer with high solids content,
corresponding to the German Standard RAL 5021, water blue.
This paint system offers a 5 year protection for indoor installation provided the gear unit is not
subjected to humid or chemical aggressive atmospheric conditions.
Overcoating is possible with most paints based on alkyd-, epoxy or polyurethane resins.
2.3. PRESERVATION
The inner parts of the gear units are sprayed with rust preventing mineral oil. The breather plug
(standard, dust-proof, anti-humidity) is neither removed nor sealed.
The shaft extensions are protected with rust preventing grease and waxed paraffin paper. The
hollow shafts and all unpainted machined surfaces are coated with an anti-oxidizing waxy
varnish.
This standard system offers corrosion protection during transport and/or storage for up to one
year indoors.
3. STORAGE
Always store gear units in their originally supplied shipping conditions.
Gear units should not be stored near vibrating machines in order to avoid
damage to bearings.
3.1. SHORT TERM STORAGE
Up to one year indoors. Always store units in their originally supplied shipping conditions.
