3.5 Installing the gear unit
WARNING
Danger of burns
The surfaces of gear units or geared motors may become hot during or shortly after operation.
Hot surfaces which can be touched directly must be protected with a contact guard.
WARNING
Danger to persons
If the foundation or the fastening of the gear unit is not adequately dimensioned, the gear unit may detach, fall
down or rotate in an uncontrolled manner.
The foundation and the gear unit fastening must be appropriately designed for the weight and the torque. All bolts
must be used to fasten the gear unit
NOTICE
Damage to the gear unit due to overheating
The gear unit may be damaged by overheating.
When installing, check that the cooling air from the motor fan can circulate around the geared motor and the gear
unit without obstruction.
The eyebolts screwed into the gear units must be used during installation. No additional load may be
attached to the gear unit.
If geared motors have an additional eyebolt attached to the motor, this must also be used. Avoid
pulling the eyebolts at an angle. Observe the safety information(please see chapter 1.4 "Safety
information").
The base and/or flange to which the gear unit is fitted should be vibration-free, torsionally strong and
flat. The smoothness of the mating surface on the base or flange must be according to tolerance class
K according to DIN ISO 2768-2. All contamination to the bolting surfaces of gear unit and base and/or
flange must be thoroughly removed.
The gear housing must always be earthed. With geared motors, earthing via the motor connection
must be ensured.
The gear unit must be precisely aligned with the drive shaft of the machine in order to prevent
additional forces from being imposed on the gear unit due to distortion.
Welding of the gear unit is prohibited. The gear unit must not be used as the earth connection for
welding work, as this may cause damage to the bearings and gear wheels.
The gear unit must be installed in the correct orientation(please see chapter 6.1 "Versions and
maintenance"). (UNIVERSAL SI and SM gear unit types do not depend on the configuration).
Changes to the installation position after delivery require adjustment of the quantity of oil, and often
other measures such as e.g. the installation of encapsulated roller bearings. Damage may result if
the stated installation position is not observed.
All gear unit feet and/or all flange bolts on each side must be used. Bolts must have a minimum quality
of 8.8. The bolts must be tightened to the correct torques(please see chapter 6.5 "Torque values").
Tension-free bolting must be ensured, particularly for gear units with a foot and flange.
The oil inspection screws, oil drain screws and the vent valves must be accessible.
