5. Installation and Operation
5.1 Transport and Storage
Gears should be transported in the original packaging. If the gear is not put into service immediately on receipt, it should be
stored in a dry area in the original packaging. The permissible storage temperature range is -20 °C to + 60 °C.
5.2 Gear Condition at Delivery
The gears are generally delivered according to the dimensions indicated in the confirmation drawing.
Gears with Grease Lubrication
• SHG-2UH
These units are supplied with a lifetime lubrication as standard.
• SHG-2SO und SHG-2SH
These units are supplied without lifetime lubrication. Before commissioning of the unit an initial lubrication has to be applied
by the customer. A recommendation for the lubricant type can be found at chapter 4.10.1 and the recommended amount of
grease at chapter 5.5.2.
Gears with Oil Lubrication
Harmonic Drive® Units with oil lubrication are generally customer-specific solutions. Please follow the notes given on the
confirmation drawing. The oil temperature during operation must not exceed 90 °C. Oil must be filled into the unit by the
customer as the standard delivery does not include any oil lubricant.
Oil Quantity
The values specified in the confirmation drawing include the valid oil quantities to fill in. The oil quantity defined on the
confirmation drawing must be obeyed in any case. Too much oil results in excessive heat production and early wear due to the
thermal destruction of the oil. If the oil level is too low, this may lead to early wear as a result of lubricant deficiency.
5.3 Assembly Information
ADVICE
Screws which have been tightened by the gear manufacturer must not be loosened.
