4.3.3 Gearbox with compensation container (preferably for mounting
position "M4[C]")
Temperature fluctuations generate changes in the lubricant volume. A compensation
reservoir serves to compensate for the change in volume in each case.
The compensation reservoir is supplied as a mounting set. Before commissioning, the
oil vent plug must be replaced with the reservoir.
( Stop!
For transporting the geared motor, the compensation reservoir must be
removed and the gearbox must be locked by means of a locking screw.
( Stop!
Leaky pipe to the oil compensation reservoir
The pipe of the oil compensation reservoir is subjected to a natural
ageing process.
Possible consequences:
¯ Environmental impact
Protective measures:
¯ Make sure that the pipe does not show any signs of cracks or leakage.
¯ Do not commission a leaky pipe.
¯ If the pipe shows any signs of damage, replace it.
) Note!
With unfavourable combinations of a small ratio and a high input speed,
the use of a compensation reservoir may also be advisable in other
mounting positions.
