Run-in phase
The tooth flanks of new helical-worm and SPIROPLAN
®
gear units are not yet com-
pletely smooth. This makes for a greater friction angle and less efficiency during the
run-in phase than during later operation. This effect intensifies with increasing gear
unit ratio.
During the running-in phase, the nominal efficiency of the gear unit is reduced by the
respective value in the following tables.

2-start approx. 20–75 approx. 6%

The run-in phase usually lasts 48 hours. Helical-worm and SPIROPLAN
®
gear units
achieve their nominal efficiency values when the following conditions have been met:
• The gear unit has been completely run-in.
• The gear unit has reached nominal operating temperature.
• The recommended lubricant has been filled.
• The gear unit is operating in the nominal load range.
Operation at motor speeds above 1800min

SEW-EURODRIVE recommends using oil seals on the A- and B-side made of fluoro-
carbon rubber for motors and gearmotors operated on frequency inverters at motor
speeds above 1800min
