Ex-version gearboxes
The difference between the temperature of the housing and the ambient tempera‐
ture of max. +40 °C must not exceed 70 K.
If the ambient temperatures differ, contact Technical Support.
Using a suitable temperature sensor, measure the temperature at the lowest point of
the housing (oil sump) or at the mounting surface in the case of output units.
Changes are an indication of possible incipient damage.
CAUTION
Malfunctions can cause injuries or gearbox damage
In the event of changes during operation, the drive unit must be switched off immediately.
Determine the fault as described in Section "Faults, causes and remedies" in the gearbox
operating instructions. Remedy faults or have faults remedied.
Check the gear unit during operation for:
• Excessive operating temperature
• Smooth and vibration-free operation
• Changes in gear noise
• Possible oil leakage at the housing and shaft seals
