NOTICE! Gear unit damage
Gear units with drive couplings are pre-aligned prior to delivery.
• Check the alignment of the coupling with the aid of the separate manufacturer's documentation prior to
commissioning.

3.22.1.1 Dog coupling
Normally, the gear unit is connected to the motor with a dog coupling. For gear units without an
IEC/NEMA adapter, the alignment between the gear unit and the motor must be ensured by the
operator and the coupling installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
For gear units with IEC/NEMA adapters (see Section 3.9 "Motor (Option: IEC, NEMA)").

3.22.1.2 Turbo coupling
WARNING
Injury to persons
Failure to observe the following points may cause injury to persons:
• Danger of burns due to spun-off oil. In case of overload, the oil is drained off automatically during the rotation
of the coupling. The coupling must be encased accordingly in order to channel oil which spins off.
• Connection of electrical components must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Turbo couplings are usually supplied with a melting safety device. In case of overload the oil
temperature in the coupling increases. As soon as the temperature limit (usually 140 °C) is reached
the safety device melts and oil flows out of the motor and the coupling in order to separate the motor
and the gear unit before both components are damaged.
It is recommended that an oil tray is provided for the turbo coupling in order to catch escaping oil. The
quantity of oil in the coupling can be obtained from the manufacturer's documentation.
Such an oil tray is installed as standard for gear units on a motor swing base or base frame which are
combined with a turbo coupling.
Optionally, turbo couplings can be equipped with a switching pin and a separate mechanical switch.
