Universal mounting position M0
SPIROPLAN
®
W10 – W30 gear units can be ordered with M0 universal mounting posi-
tion. These small SPIROPLAN
®
gear units are entirely enclosed due to their small size
and have no breather valve. You can use them in any mounting position M1 – M6
without having to adjust the gear unit.
All W10 – W30 gear units of one size have the same oil fill quantity.
7.5
Mounting position MX
Mounting position MX is available for all gear units of the sizes R..7, F..7, K..7, K..9,
S..7 and SPIROPLAN
®
W..7.
In contrast to the M0 mounting position, gear units in MX mounting position must be
adjusted according to the mounting position prior to startup.
For mounting position MX, the gear units are delivered with the maximally possible
amount of oil and sealed with oil screw plugs. A breather valve is included with each
drive. The oil fill volume must be adapted according to the mounting position of the
gear unit (see chapter
)). Customers will also have
to mount the enclosed breather valve at the proper location depending on the mount-
ing position, see chapter
"
). For screwing in the
breather valve, observe the corresponding tightening torque in chapter
"
torques for oil level plugs, oil drain plugs, screw plugs, breather valves and oil sight
glasses" (→
Check for the correct oil level before startup, as described in chapter
"
level and changing the oil" (→
