Possible cause
Measure
Unusual, regular run-
ning noise
•
Meshing/grinding noise: Bearing
damage
•
Check oil consistency, change bearings
•
Knocking noise: Irregularity in the
gearing
•
Consult SEW‑EURODRIVE
•
Deformation of the housing upon
tightening
•
Check the gear unit mounting for pos-
sible deformation and correct if neces-
sary
•
Noise generated by insufficient
stiffness of the gear unit founda-
tion
•
Reinforce the gear unit foundation
Unusual, irregular run-
ning noises
•
Foreign objects in the oil
•
Check the oil consistency
•
Stop the drive, contact
SEW‑EURODRIVE

too high
•
Too much oil
•
Check the oil level; correct if necessary
•
Oil too old
•
Check when the oil was last changed;
change the oil, if necessary
•
Oil is heavily contaminated
•
Analyze the oil to determine the cause;
take measures, if necessary; change
the oil
•
Ambient temperature too high
•
Protect the gear unit from external heat
sources (e.g. provide shade)
•

opening/gear unit housing con-
taminated
•
Check air intake openings, clean them
if necessary; clean the gear unit hous-
ing
•
Malfunction of the oil-air or oil-
water cooling system
•
Observe the separate operating instruc-
tions for the oil-water or oil-air cooling
system.
•
For gear units with built-in cool-
ing: Cooling liquid flow rate too
low; cooling liquid temperature
too high; deposits in cooling sys-
tem
•
Check the cooling liquid flow rate;
check the entry temperature of the
cooling liquid; clean the cooling system.
Temperature at bearing
points too high
•
Not enough oil
•
Check oil level; correct if necessary
•
Oil too old
•
Check when the oil was last changed;
change the oil if necessary
•
