1 Introduction
1.1
About this documentation
Stromag GmbH, hereafter referred to as Stromag, recommends referring to the dimensional drawing for techni-
cal details such as dimensions, weights in kg, tolerances, tightening torques and operating material required for
assembly, such as safety devices and lubricants.
Should this information be necessary during assembly, a corresponding point in these mounting/operating in-
structions will be referenced on the dimensional drawing.
A dimensional drawing is supplied as a separate document and can be requested additionally from Stromag
Customer Care, see section 4.2. For this, the information on ordering spare parts is required, see section 11.1.
For the purpose of simplification, the following designations are used in the mounting/operating instructions.
• Mounting/operating instructions will be referred to as
Documentation
in the following.
• The gear limit switch HGE, will be referred to as
GTES
in the following.
This documentation makes it easier for the operator to familiarise himself with the GTES and to use it for its
intended application.
This documentation covers various GTES designs. The figures used are partly by way of example only. The
specific design of the supplied GTES is shown in the dimensional drawing, see section 4.2.
The documentation contains important instructions on how to operate the GTES safely, properly and economi-
cally. Observing the documentation helps to avoid dangers, to reduce repair costs and down times and to in-
crease the reliability as well as the operating life of the GTES. Read the documentation carefully and thoroughly.
1.1.1
Target group
The documentation is limited to use by qualified as well as trained personnel.
The documentation must be read and applied by every person that is assigned with performing at least one of
the following tasks:
• transport
• assembly
• use
• maintenance and inspections
• troubleshooting
• disassembly
• disposal of operating and auxiliary materials
1.1.2
Use/storage
This documentation must always be kept to hand at the operation location of the GTES. The documentation
must then be integrated into the overall documentation of the machine and into the safety concept.
When selling the GTES, the documentation must also be passed on.
