Maintenance Oil amounts for each series of Torque-Hub
®
drives are indicated in
the appropriate series literature. An initial oil change should be
made after the first 50 hours of operation. Subsequent oil changes
should be made at 1,000 hour intervals or annually, whichever
comes first.
Oil temperatures should be not higher than 160° to 180°F for
continuous operation, and no higher than 200°F for intermittent
operation. For special applications, high horsepower, high speeds
or wide temperature changes, please consult Oerlikon Fairfield.
Oil Fill Level When the Torque-Hub
®
unit is mounted horizontally, unless
otherwise specified, the gearbox should be filled half-full of oil.
Consult the appropriate series literature for approximate fill
volumes. Vertically mounted Torque-Hub
®
units may require special
lubrication procedures. Please contact Oerlikon Fairfield for
vertically mounted applications.
