Technical description

2.5 Rating plate

2.5 Rating plate
The rating plate on the gearbox or geared motor is of coated aluminum foil. It is covered with
a special masking film which ensures permanent resistance to UV radiation and media of all
kinds, such as oils, greases, salt water and cleaning agents.
The adhesive and the material ensure firm adhesion and long-term legibility within the
operating temperature range from -40 °C to +155 °C.
The edges of the rating plate are paint-finished to match the color of the gearbox or motor to
which it is affixed.
In special cases, riveted or bolted metal plates are used.

General information on surface treatment

All paint finishes are sprayed on.

ATEX version gearboxes
The gearbox is delivered complete with primer and paint finish.
If the gearbox is delivered with primer only or unpainted, a paint finish must be
applied which meets the applicable guidelines for the specific application. The
primer does not provide adequate corrosion protection.
ATEX version gearboxes
When applying conductive paint, the operator must ensure that the paint remains
in a perfect state.
The paint finish must be checked at intervals of approximately 2 - 3 years.
ATEX version gearboxes
An excessively high electrostatic charge must be avoided.
Ensure that highly active mechanisms that cause the paint finish to generate a
charge are avoided.
Highly active mechanisms that can generate charges:
• Fast air with high dust content directed past the gearbox
• Sudden escape of compressed gases that contain particles
• Harsh abrasive processes (this does not mean manual cleaning / wiping with
cleaning cloths)
