Startup and operation
Read the general safety instructions before beginning to work (see Chapter 2.5 "General
safety instructions").
Improper use can cause damage to the gearbox.
Ensure that
- the
ambient temperature
is in the permissible range (see Chapter 9.4 "Specifications for
- the
operating temperature
does not 90 °C.
Avoid freezing, which can damage the seals.
Use the gearbox only in a clean, dust-free, and dry environment. Moisture penetration in the
area of the drive in particular is inadmissible. In this connection, we recommend additional
protection measures or alternative products.
Only use the gearbox up to its maximum limit values, see Chapter 3.4 "Dimensions and
performance data". For other conditions of use, consult our Customer Service department.
The following only applies to gearboxes with
food-grade lubricant
:
- The maximum permissible torques (T
2α
, T
2B
, T
2N
) may be reduced in comparison with
standard gearboxes depending on the product type.
For the maximum permissible torques observe the further information in Chapter 9.4
"Specifications for startup and operation".
The following only applies for
corrosion-resistant
gearboxes:
- The maximum permissible torques (T
2α
, T
2B
, T
2N
) may be reduced in comparison with
standard gearboxes depending on the product type.
For the maximum permissible torques observe the further information in Chapter 9.4
"Specifications for startup and operation".
- The pump effect of a running gearbox can suck cleaning agents into the gearbox. The
gearbox may only be cleaned when it is at standstill.
- To avoid corrosion, use only conventional cleaning agents that are grease-dissolving but not
aggressive.
- High-pressured water jets can damage the gearbox seals and thus lead to leakage.
Never aim the water jet directly at the seals.
Attach a deflector in front of the seals if necessary.
Valid only for gearboxes in
Hygienic Design
:
- The pump effect of a running gearbox can suck cleaning agents into the gearbox. The
gearbox may only be cleaned when it is at standstill.
- High-pressured water jets can damage the gearbox seals and thus lead to leakage.
Use a water jet with a
maximum
pressure of 28 bar.
- When a surface is roughened it cannot be cleaned without leaving traces.
Take care not to scratch the gearbox.
- Remove applied media from the sealing of the gearbox within 30 minutes.
- Use only cleaning processes as described in Chapter 9.4 "Specifications for startup and
The following only applies to
servo worm gearboxes
:
When using the gearbox in
continuous operation
, observe the further instructions given in
