Auxiliary drive unit
For certain applications the gear unit can, in addition to the main drive unit, be equipped with an auxiliary
drive unit. This enables the main gear unit to be operated at a lower output speed in the same direction of
rotation. The auxiliary drive is connected with the main gear unit by an overrunning clutch. For the basic
drivetrain configuration refer to figure 10.

Overrunning clutch
The auxiliary gear unit is flanged to the main gear unit by means of an intermediate flange. The auxiliary
gear unit is a MOTOX bevelgear motor coupled to the main gear unit by means of an overrunning clutch.
The overrunning clutch is accommodated within the intermediate flange and is supplied with oil from the
main gear unit. The MOTOX bevelgear motor has its own oil filling.
