3.3 Preparing for installation
3.3.1 Check for damages
Please examine the delivery for transport and packaging damage immediately on receipt. Pay
particular attention to radial shaft seals and sealing caps. Report any damage to the carrier
immediately.
Do not put the drive into operation if damage such as leaks are visible.
3.3.2 Remove corrosion protection agents
All bare metal surfaces and shafts of the drive are protected with corrosion protection agents before
shipping.
Thoroughly remove corrosion protection agents and any dirt (e.g. colour residues) from all shafts,
flange surfaces and gear unit attachment surfaces before assembly.
3.3.3 Check rotational direction
If an incorrect rotational direction may result in damage or potential risk, check for the correct
rotational direction of the output shaft during a test run before attaching it to the machine. Ensure the
correct rotational direction during operation.
For gear units with an integrated back stop, switching the drive motor to the blocked direction of
rotation, may result in damage to the gear unit. Gears with integrated back stops are marked with
arrows on the drive/driven sides. The arrows point in the rotation direction of the gear unit. When
connecting the motor and during motor control, ensure, e.g. by testing the field of rotation, that the
gear unit can only operate in the direction of rotation.
For further explanations refer to Catalogue G1000 and document WN 0-000 40.
3.3.4 Check ambient conditions
Make sure that no aggressive or corrosive substances which attack metal, lubricants or elastomers
are present at the installation site or are subsequently expected during operation. If such substances
are to be expected, contact Getriebebau NORD.
The gear unit, especially its radial shaft seals should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight.
The standard permissible ambient temperature range for synthetic gear unit oils (CLP PG … and
CLP HC…) is –20 °C to +40 °C. This temperature range can be extended according to the lubricant
table (see chapter 7.2.2 "Gear oils"), if all mounted materials of the gear unit and the application-
related speed, torques and modes of operation allow this. Note the project planning documents of the
order for this. In case of doubt, ask Getriebebau NORD.
For mineral oil (CLP), the permissible ambient temperature range in accordance to the above stated
lubricant table is restricted. The lubricant type is indicated on the name plate (see chapter 2.2 "Name
plate ").
For installation altitudes above 1000 m above sea level, the permissible speed and torques may be
reduced. Note the project planning documents of the order for this. In case of doubt, ask Getriebebau
NORD.
