Mechanical Installation Accessory equipment 4.14 Accessory equipment 4.14.1 AR.. and AT.. centrifugal and friction couplings AR.. friction Drives with a friction coupling consist of a standard gear unit and motor/variable speed coupling gearmotor with an adapter installed between them. This adapter accommodates the friction coupling.
Page 71
Mechanical Installation Accessory equipment AT.. hydraulic Hydraulic centrifugal couplings are fluid couplings based on the Föttinger principle. They centrifugal consist of 2 hinged hemispheres with blades separated by a tight gap. coupling The applied torque is transmitted by the inertial force of the streaming fluid. This fluid circulates within a closed circuit, between the pump wheel (primary side) [12] on the driv- ing shaft (motor shaft) and the turbine wheel (secondary side) [9] on the driven shaft (gear unit input shaft).

Mechanical Installation Accessory equipment 4.14.2 Diagnostic units DUV and DUO DUV diagnostic The DUV30A diagnostic unit evaluates vibration signals using frequency analysis meth- unit ods. A micromechanical acceleration sensor is used in the unit. Data can be recorded, processed and evaluated locally without any expert knowledge. The DUV30A diagnostic unit is suitable for early recognition of rolling element bearing damage or unbalance.

Mechanical Installation Accessory equipment 4.14.3 Gear unit heater for gear unit series R..7, F..7, and K..7 An oil heating can be required in order to allow for a smooth startup in the event of a cold start at low ambient temperatures. An oil heating is available with an external or an integrated thermostat depending on the gear unit design.
Page 74
Mechanical Installation Accessory equipment 4.14.4 Flange coupling Flange couplings [1] are rigid couplings for connecting 2 shafts [2]. They are suitable for operation in both directions of rotation, but cannot compensate any shaft misalignments. Torque between shaft and coupling is transmitted via a cylindrical interference fit. The two coupling halves are mounted together at their flanges.

Startup Checking the oil level Checking the oil level Before startup, make sure that the oil level corresponds to the mounting position. Observe section "Checking the oil level and changing the oil" (page 86). If the gear unit is equipped with an oil sight glass, you can also determine the oil level at the oil sight glass.
Startup ® Helical-worm and SPIROPLAN W gear units ® Helical-worm and SPIROPLAN W gear units 5.3.1 Run-in period ® SPIROPLAN and helical-worm gear units require a running-in period of at least 48 h before reaching their maximum efficiency. A separate run-in period applies for each direction of rotation if the gear unit is operated in both directions of rotation.
Startup Helical/parallel shaft helical/helical-bevel gear units Helical/parallel shaft helical/helical-bevel gear units No special startup instructions are required for helical, parallel shaft helical and helical- bevel gear units providing the gear units have been installed in accordance with section "Mechanical Installation" (page 17). Gear units with backstop The purpose of a backstop is to prevent undesirable reverse rotation.
Startup Components made of elastomers with fluorocarbon rubber Components made of elastomers with fluorocarbon rubber Under normal operating conditions and at temperatures up to 200 °C, fluorocarbon rubber is very stable and safe. However, when heated to more than 300 °C, e.g. by fire or the flame of a cutting torch, it forms harmful gases and vapors as well as harmful residue.
Inspection/Maintenance Preliminary work regarding gear unit inspection/maintenance Inspection/Maintenance The following gear units are lubricated for life: • Helical gear units R07, R17, R27 • Parallel shaft helical gear unit F27 ® • SPIROPLAN gear unit Depending on external factors, the surface/corrosion protection might have to be repaired or renewed.
Inspection/Maintenance Inspection/maintenance intervals • Strict adherence to the inspection and maintenance intervals is absolutely necessary to ensure safe working conditions. • Before releasing shaft connections, make sure that there are no active torsional moments present (tensions within the system). • Prevent foreign bodies from entering the gear unit during maintenance and inspec- tion work.

Technical Data Extended storage Technical Data Extended storage INFORMATION For storage periods longer than 9 months, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends the "Extended storage" design. Gear units in this design are designated with a corre- sponding label. In this case, a VCI corrosion inhibitor (volatile corrosion inhibitor) is added to the lubri- cant in these gear units.
Technical Data Lubricants Lubricants Unless a special arrangement is made, SEW-EURODRIVE supplies the drives with a lubricant fill adapted for the specific gear unit and mounting position. The mounting position (M1 – M6, see chapter "Mounting positions") must be specified with the order. You must adapt the lubricant fill in case of any subsequent changes made to the mount- ing position, see chapter "Lubricant fill quantities"...
