1.2.2 Fixing of the drive unit - Drive units may only be fixed to a surface utilizing the designated screw holes. It is, in no way, permissible to weld them to the supporting structure, or to perform welding procedures in the surrounding of the supporting structure, because this may lead to an irreparable distortion in the housing and because of that to an early breakdown. When mounting a drive unit to the supporting structure, mount the housing first and then the revolving part. This mounting procedure has to be performed, free of external loads. In all connections parallel screw axes against each other in a load free condition and parallel screw axes to the separation gaps standards are assumed. Furthermore the fixing holes of the base - and the revolving part of the drive unit and the supporting structure have to resemble each other exactly, in any other case the drive unit will be preloaded.

- To avoid intolerable deviations between torque moments of the screws stick to the following procedure.

Screwing

Screw the base part of the drive unit to the surrounding structure first. Apply a small amount of oil to the screws to ensure a constant friction coefficient ( not if screw retention is utilized ). If screw retention is used, stick to the instruction of these products.

Tighten the screws, possibly with washers, loose.

Tighten the screws at the loose screwed base part in an over cross pattern.

Preload the screws step by step up to the stipulated value. Now fix the revolving part of the drive unit by repeating the procedure above.

- If a hydraulically tightening device is used the preload may not exceed 90 % of the elastically values. The tighten torque moment ( according to chart 3 ) is determined by many factors, especially by the friction value of the thread and can vary heavily in practice.

1.2.3 Determination of the actual tilting clearance The tilting clearance increases when the drive unit is built-in. To determine the increase of the tilting clearance, the tilting clearance has to be measured at the built-in, not yet operated drive unit. - Mark the measurement point ( for instance with a taped 6 ) in the main load direction at both base - and revolving part, to have a fixed measurement point for subsequent checks. - Note and archive all measured values.

Checking of tilting clearance

Determine and mark the measurement point, if possible, in the main load direction at the base part and at the revolving part. Check the distance between base part and revolving part, as shown in sketch 3 First, fix a dial gauge with a measurement arm at point "A" of the sketch. The feeler of the dial gauge must lay at point "B" of the sketch.

The revolving part has to be tilted in the "1" direction of the sketch, utilizing a determined force. Nil the dial gauge. Now create a tilting moment into the 2 direction of the sketch by a determined force. The value now shown on the dial gauge is equal to the tilting clearance. - All further checking procedures have to be performed at the same measurement point with the same loads, with the same position of base - and revolving part against each other, by utilizing the measurement method indicated. - Note and archive the measured values for further checks as reference values.

It now has to be possible to revolve the drive unit with correctly bolted base part, revolving part and motor constantly by hydraulic means. The influence of loads and possible deviations at the connection surfaces above and beyond the drive unit can increase the rotation resistance. In case of a rotation resistance, that exceeds the specifications, the drive unit has to be disconnected from the surrounding structure, and the rotation resistance has to be measured in a not connected condition. Functional testing

Check if the drive unit runs smoothly and even. Perform further testing runs under full load.

Revolve the mounted drive unit a few times.

- After the test run, check the drive unit again. If it is necessary retighten the screws up to the described values.

1.2.7 Permissible revolving speed and permissible revolutions - Depending on type, and kind of lubrication of the drive unit, different numbers of revolutions are permissible. This is described further in our offer. In case of units that are delivered without motor, contact to our technical department. Depending on constructive base, drive units are not suited as continuos running devices.

1.2.8 Varnishing the drive unit and the surrounding structure - Connection surfaces may not be varnished. - No paint may spill on the seal or the connecting surface of the seal, this can corrode the seal, or stick the seal lip to the connecting surface. This surfaces have to be covered with adhesive tape before the painting procedure.

2. Maintenance / safety checks and lubrication

2.1. Check of the fixing screws The tightening screws have to be checked every 700 operating hours or at least every 6 months. This time schedule has to be adjusted ( lowered ), if special working conditions apply. - The tightening moments of the fixing screws have to be hours, but at least after the first month in service in order to and the screws have to be retighten to the values indicated checked after the first 100 operating equalize possible settling effects in chart 3

- Only new screws and washers are suited to replace single loose screws, respectively to replace the drive unit.

2.2 Checking of the tilting clearance Wear in the raceway system leads to an increase in the tilting clearance. Because of that, the tilting clearance has to be checked in certain, regular, intervals.

- Check the tilting clearance after 700 service hours, but at least after 6 months Failure to do this may endanger personal and installations. Checking of the increase of the tilting clearance K , if the tilting clearance can be measured directly at the diameter of the borecircle of the worm wheel. For the procedure of checking the tilting clearance look at page 7, point 1.2.3 . The value measured first, at the installation of the drive unit ( m1 ) serves as a base value for the checking measurements ( mx ). The value of the initial measurement is subtracted from the value of al subsequent measurements. This value may not exceed the removal clearance. K = mx - m1 Chart 4 : Removal clearance ( increase in tilting clearance ) Type of drive unit = diameter of the 86 136 146 220 300 360 373 490 645 borecircle of the worm wheel Removal clearance K ( mm ) 0,3 0,3 0,4 0,4 0,4 0,4 0,5 0,5 0,5 If the actual size of the type is between 2 given sizes, take the value of the smaller unit.

- If the actual increase of the rotation clearance equals 75% of the maximum permissible increase, the inspection interval has to be decreased to 200 service hours - After an increase of more than 75% of the maximum permissible increase, the inspection interval has to be lowered even further ( to 50 - 100 service hours ). - If the removal clearance of the rotation clearance is exceeded, the machine has to be shut down and the drive unit has to be exchanged.

2.4 Checking of the seals If a seal fails, because of wear, mechanical, respectively chemical influence it has to be renewed. Seals have to be checked at every control of the screwing. The seal can be purchased from our house as piece goods together with glue and fitting instructions.

2.5 Lubrication of oil filled drive units Use the same product for the lubrication of the interior of the housing. Use Polyalphaolefin oils for lubrication of the housing, if there are no contradictory instructions on any supplement sheets. Check chart 8 for greases, suited for service.

- All legal - and manufacturer instructions for the usage of lubricants have to be put into consideration. - Take the bore that occupies the highest position, relative to the planed installation position, as inlet bore. - Always take the bore, that occupies, relative to the planed installation position, the lowest position as oil run - out bore - Waste oil may only be disposed by qualified firms

Maintenance :

Oil change :

Take, for instance, a brush to put a small amount of grease beyond the lip of both of the seals, to ensure a low - wear run. Screw the oil - inlet - screw open and check the oil level. If the drive unit was not filled with oil completely, fill in new oil up to the edge of the inlet bore After the unit is filled completely, close the inlet screw again.

Take, for instance, a brush to put a small amount of grease beyond the lip of both of the seals, to ensure a low - wear run. Screw open the oil inlet bore, as well as the oil run out bore and let the waste oil flow into a suitable tank. Close the oil run out bore again. Now fill the unit up to the edge of the inlet bore with fresh oil. Close the inlet screw again after filling the unit completely. If more than an appropriate amount of oil is missing, check all seals for a possible leak.

2.6 Lubrication of drive units, filled with grease Use the same product for the relubrication of the housing interior any time. Use for the lubrication water - repellent Lithiumsoapgreases according to DIN 51 825 of the NLGI - class 2 DIN 51 818 only. Also check chart 7.

- All legal - and manufacturer regulations for the usage of lubricants have to be observed. - Waste grease may only be disposed by qualified firms.

Relubrication of the housing

Clean all grease nipples. Press grease into all grease nipples, until a continuos collar of fresh grease has formed beyond the opening seal lip. Rotate the drive unit a few times meanwhile. Ensure that old grease can flow out without problems. Put a small amount of grease, i. e. utilizing a brush beyond the seal lip of the seal, that is not opening, to ensure a low - wear run.

Change of the grease

Clean all grease nipples. Press grease into all grease nipples, until the old ( darker ) grease has escaped completely from the opening seal. Rotate the drive unit a few times meanwhile. Continue the lubrication, until only new ( lighter ) grease escapes undiluted from the opening seal. Make sure, that old grease can flow out without problems. Put a small amount of grease, i. e. utilizing a brush beyond the seal lip of the seal, that is not opening, to ensure a low - wear run.

2.7 Lubrication intervals for grease - respectively oil - filled drive units Lubrication intervals mainly depend on the kind of lubrication, the working conditions, the environmental conditions, the type of the drive unit and the number of operating hours. Exact relubrication intervals can only be determined through testing under realistic conditions. If no comparable test results are present, the following chart can be taken as estimated data. Oil filled units are filled with a polyalphaolefin oil, if no contradictory information is noted on a supplement sheet. This kind of lubrication has the advantage of increased stand times, higher possible rotation speed and lower wear. Because of that changed data applies :

Chart 6 : Lubrication intervals for drive units Working conditions drive units filled with oil
maintenance oil change intervals intervals every 2500 Dry and clean plant - building ( every 400 operating hours, operating hours, turn tables / robots or similar ) Difficult conditions in open terrain ( but at least every 6 but at least every months 36 months cranes / excavators or similar )

Aggressive climatic conditions sea- / desert - / arcticclimates / Extremely dirty condition / more than 70 operating hours per week Extreme conditions ( tunneldrilling machinery / steelworks )

every 200 every 2000 operating hours, operating hours, but at least every 4 but at least every months 36 months every 70 operating hours, but at least every 2 months every 1500 operating hours, but at least every 36 months

The values in chart 6 apply only under the following reservations : - Working temperature at the unit < 70 C. - Maximum rotation speed < 10 1/min for units filled with grease. - Maximum rotation speed < 12 1/min for units filled with oil. - Low to medium load. - This chart can never replace testing values / the most common reason for the failure of drive units is insufficient lubrication. - Drive units have to be relubricated completely before and after every long stand period ( i. e. in case of cranes and construction machines through the inactive winter months ).

3. Removal of a worn - out drive unit

Consider the handling procedures ( point 0.1 ) when removing a worn drive unit. - As soon as a dismantling procedure is performed on the behalf of the operator ( as well removal of the drive unit from the surrounding structure as dismantling of the drive unit itself ) our guarantee becomes void. The drive unit has to be dismantled and cleaned. Cleaned steel parts can be put to the waste steel. Seals and resembling plastic parts have to be put to the not recyclable waste.

Temperature of usage C generally between - 30 and + 150 C. Data, specific for a manufacturer, has to be inquired.

Viscosity Viscosity has to be between 320 and 680 according to ISO VG. When choosing the viscosity please also consider the lowest possible temperature of usage because, in case of increasing viscosity, the liquidity decreases and, because of that, power losses increase. In case of general questions concerning the viscosity values please talk to our technical department. In case of more specific questions, please talk to the manufacturer directly.
