Intended use
Eppinger gearboxes are machine elements for converting or diverting
torques and rotational speeds within the respectively specified perfor-
mance range. Any operation outside the specified performance charac-
teristics or other than the specified use is not permitted. The permissible
torques and rotational speeds of the gearboxes must not be exceeded.
The forces affecting on the gearbox shafts have to be limited to the max-
imum permissible values.
Unauthorised modifications or alterations to the product are not permit-
ted.
According to the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, gearboxes are re-
ferred to as machine components and are therefore assemblies that do
not fall within the scope of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. There-
fore, gearboxes are components to be installed in machines. The commis-
sioning is forbidden until by or after the integration into the end prod-
uct, the requirements of the machine directives are met.
