SPIRAL BEVEL GEARBOXES RANGE “POWERGEAR”
8. Operation
- Prior to initial operation, make sure that all transmission components are correctly installed
- Standard gear layouts do not require a breather/vent filter
- Do not remove, disable or override monitoring and protective devices for trial operation
- Perform initial trials without load and check for abnormal noises and temperature rise
During and after operation, check the surfaces of the PowerGear box housing for abnormal
temperature rise
When using mineral gear oils (CLP), the operating temperature should not exceed 90
c and if
exceeding it nevertheless, this should only be temporary. When using synthetic gear oils (CLP), an
operating temperature of 130
c is admissible.
If abnormal circumstances are encountered (for example, elevated temperatures, noises, vibrations),
always shut down the gearbox in case of doubt so that the cause can be ascertained. Contact our
Service department if necessary.
9. Initial Operation
Initial operation (assumption of operation in accordance with manufacturer's designated use) of the
POWERGEAR gearbox is not permitted until the machine or plant has been validated as compliant
with the requirements laid down in the EC Machinery Directive.
10. Inspection and Maintenance
As for life lubrication, the POWERGEAR gearboxes, sizes P75 up to P140 and X75 up to X140, have
been provided with synthetic high quality oil on poly-alpha-olefin basis and are thus virtually free from
maintenance. Sixes P140 and X140 have been provided with the drill holes needed to make an oil
change.
The POWERGEAR gearboxes, sizes P170 up to P280 and X170 up to X280 are delivered without
any lubricant filling, except such filling is ordered along with the box.
With operating temperatures to be expected of up to 90
c, we recommend to use mineral gear oil
types (CPL) in compliance with standard DIN 51517 or with ISO VG class 100 (DIN 51 519).
For temperatures ranging up to 130
c, we recommend to use synthetic gear oils on poly-alpha-olefin
basis (CPL) in compliance with DIN 51517, part 3 or with ISA VG class 150 (DIN 51 519)
