8. Commissioning
- The commissioning
(taking up operation in accordance with the intended use)
of the PowerGear gear unit is
prohibited until it has been determined that the machine or plant complies with the provisions of the EU machine
directive.
- Before commissioning check the correct attachment of the transmission parts.
- Check oil level
- Do not deactivate monitoring and protection devices, not even during test operation.
- The use of an aeration and ventilation filter is not necessary for gear units up to P110 / X110 , for gear
units from P140 / X140 we recommend its use, as soon as the gear units exceed an operating tempera-
ture of 60°C.
The first start-ups must be carried out without load and at low speeds, until it is ensured that all roller bearings,
bevel gears and shaft seals are wetted with oil, then increase speed to approx. 500 min
-1
After approx. 30 min. slowly increase speeds until operational speed is reached, running-in time at idle approx.
90 minutes.
- During start-up and run-up pay attention to running noise and temperature development, in particular at the
bearing points. In the case of unusual running noise, shut down machine and identify fault.
See Section 10: "Faults, causes and remedies."
Apparent leakage at the shaft seal rings
Grease emerging from the lubrication in the shaft seal rings does not represent an oil leak. This is an
apparent
leakage
, until the remaining lubricant has become regulated.
Wipe off any such apparent leakage and continue to observe.
Attention
damage to gear unit:
If the new gear unit is started up too rapidly, this may cause bearings to overheat,
as well as cause insufficient lubrication on the gear flanks!
It is necessary to allow the gear unit to run-in in stages!
Warning
:
Risk of burns!
Serious burns possible on hot surfaces (>55°C).
Wear suitable gloves and protective clothing.
