7.1 Measuring the surface temperature

Caution
Danger
19
Ensure that ...
all components are correctly interconnected.
the ambient temperature ranges within the specification.
all seals are free of dirt / ice to prevent these from being damaged when they are
loosened.
none of the parameters specified for the gearbox are exceeded (e.g. limit torque,
speed, etc. in the controller).
nobody is staying in the danger zone.
Gearbox damage due to overheating
Exceeding the maximum permissible temperature of the gearbox will lead to gearbox
damage.
Ensure that during operation the maximum permissible temperature of the gearbox is
not exceeded.
Ensure that the equipment is switched off if the max. permissible temperature is
exceeded and consult NEUGART. This can for instance be implemented by means of
motor current monitoring.
Measure the temperature on the casing centre at maximum load. (preferably by means
of contact measurement)
The gearbox has reached a stationary thermal state if the temperature increase does
not exceed 2° C/h.
The surface temperature may reach up to 90°C
 Risk of burns: Take corresponding precautions!
With the measured temperature you can determine the lubricant's pot life (see Chapter
9.1.1).
