These operating instructions contain information about the
transport, assembly, commissioning and service of , gear
units/geared motors from STOBER.
Observe the applicable documents of attached motors and
additional drive components.

Operation in accordance with its in-
tended use
Gear units/geared motors from STOBER comply with the val-
id standards and regulations. They are intended for installa-
tion in commercial machines and systems. Intended use
includes:
•
Use of the gear unit/geared motor exclusively for the ap-
plication that it was designed for.
•
No modifications to the gear unit/geared motor by the
customer.
•
No overload of the gear unit/geared motor with regard to
the maximum permitted speeds, torques and tempera-
tures that are specified in the order confirmation.
•
Compliance with the inspection and maintenance inter-
vals.
•
Observance of this documentation.
If the gear units/geared motors are to be used to left or hold
loads, the machine manufacturer must check whether addi-
tional safety measures are required.
1.1 Surface temperature
To ensure safe operation of the gear unit, the surface tem-
perature of the gear unit must not exceed the following tem-
perature values:
•
For mineral lubricants 80° C,
•
For synthetic lubricants 90° C.
For this reason, observe the following:
•
The standard version of gear units/geared motors from
STOBER may be used at surrounding temperatures be-
tween 0 °C and +40 °C. Different surround temperature
ranges are specified in the order confirmation for special
versions.
•
The gear units must be protected from overload and be
adequately ventilated. More detailed information can be
found in the Assembly chapter.

Safety information
CAUTION!
Burns!
The surface temperature of the gear unit can significantly ex-
ceed 65° C in operation!
Allow the gear unit to cool down sufficiently before touch-
ing it or wear protective gloves.
Also follow the applicable national, local and system-specific
requirements.
2.1 Personnel requirements
All work on the electrical equipment of the drive units must be
performed by qualified electricians. Installation, maintenance
and repairs of mechanical parts must be performed by fitters,
industrial mechanics or persons with comparable qualifica-
tions.

Technical data
The technical data of the gear unit/geared motor can be found
in the order confirmation. This refers to the lubricant used that
is specified on the nameplate of the gear unit. Other technical
data as well as dimensional drawings can be found in the ap-
propriate catalog from STOBER.

Transportation and storage
When transporting the gear units/geared motors make certain
not to damage the shafts and bearings with impacts.
Use the ring screws on the gear unit housing for vertical trans-
port of the gear units. Sling the gear units without ring screw
with a suitable support cable directly on the gear unit housing.
Note that ring screws are only intended for vertical transport
of the gear units without additional attachments. In addition
sling the motor mounted on the gear unit and make sure that
there is no diagonal pull.
If the ring screws are removed after assembly, permanently
seal the threaded holes according to the protection class of
the gear unit.
The gear units/geared motors may only be stored in en-
closed, dry rooms. Storage in open air areas with a roof is only
permitted for brief periods. Protect the gear units/geared mo-
tors from all damaging environmental effects and mechanical
damage.
Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations with high relative hu-
midity when the gear units/geared motors are being stored
temporarily to prevent formation of water from condensation.
Long-term storage
If long-term storage is planned, protect the bare parts of the
gear unit against corrosion. Completely fill the variable speed
drive with integrated spur gear stage with lubricant that is
specified on the nameplate. Reduce the lubricant to the cor-
rect filling quantity according to the nameplate before com-
missioning the drive.
