Missing parts or damage must be notified immediately in writing to the carrier, the insurance company, or WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH. Revision: 04 2022-D020259 en-3...
Only carry out modifications or reconstructions when these are approved in writing by the WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH. Personal injuries or material damage, or other claims arising from non-observance of these minimum requirements, are the sole responsibility of the operator.
ATEX Safety Intended use The gearbox serves to convert torques and speeds. It is suitable for all industrial applications. The gearbox can be used in the potentially explosive atmospheres defined in Chapter 3.4 "Ex model". Observe the instructions on the name plate and the appendix on the written ...
Safety ATEX Reasonably foreseeable misuse Any use that deviates from the approved technical data (e.g. speed, force, torque, temperature, service life) is not use as intended and is therefore not permitted (also see Chapter 3.5 "Dimensions and performance data"). General safety instructions The operation of the gearbox involves residual risks even when adhering to the intended use.
ATEX Safety Dangers Possible causes Protective measures Hot surfaces Increased friction and dissipated Reduce torques and speeds power because of wear, improper compared to standard gearboxes assembly, overload or leaks. Limit the motor current and maximum speed of the motor Maintenance intervals for wear parts and lubricant according to maintenance schedule...

ATEX Transport and storage Transport and storage Packaging The gearbox is delivered packed in foil and cardboard boxes. Dispose of the packaging materials at the recycling sites intended for this purpose. Observe the applicable national regulations concerning disposal. Transport Suspended loads can fall and can cause serious injuries and even death.
Assembly ATEX Assembly Read the general safety instructions before beginning to work (see Chapter 2.5 "General safety instructions"). If you have questions about correct mounting, consult our Customer Service department. Preparations Pressurized air can damage the gearbox seals. Do not use pressurized air to clean the gearbox.
Place an appropriate sealing ring between adapter plate and motor for gearboxes in Hygienic Design to avoid leaks. In addition, WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH offers a suitable sealing plate. The tightening torque value [TA] of the clamping bolt [H] can be found on the clamping hub [C].
Assembly ATEX If the clamping bolt [H ] is loosened too far or removed, the clamping ring [I] can rotate on the clamping hub. Align it so that the clamping bolt [H ] is in the keyway of the clamping hub (see table "Tbl-8").
(doc. no. 2022–D063351) applies for this. The manual will be provided by our Sales / Customer Service department on request. Please always provide the serial number. WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH offers corresponding mounting kits for gearboxes in Hygienic Design. The separate instructions "Hygienic Design Instruction Sheet, Mounting Kit" (Doc. no.
Assembly ATEX Slide the washers onto the fastening screws. Fasten the gearbox to the machine with the fastening screws through the slotted holes [M]. Pinning the mounted and aligned gearbox (optional) Optionally, there are two bore holes [N] on the gear housing for pinning the gearbox to the machine.
WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH offers corresponding mounting kits for gearboxes in Hygienic Design. The separate instructions "Hygienic Design Instruction Sheet, Mounting Kit" (Doc. no. 2022–D062618) are valid for this. The manual will be provided by our Sales / Customer Service department on request.
Startup and operation ATEX Startup and operation Read the general safety instructions before beginning to work (see Chapter 2.5 "General safety instructions"). Operating the gearbox in areas for which it is not approved can lead to explosions that may cause serious injuries and even death. Ensure that the gearbox is only used in those areas for which it is ...
ATEX Startup and operation Checking run-in behavior Make sure there is no explosive atmosphere during the test. After 4 running hours in maximum operating conditions, check the gearbox for leakage between gear and motor and on the output shaft seal. Measure the surface temperature at two points on the gear housing (on near the drive ...
Maintenance and disposal ATEX Maintenance and disposal Read the general safety instructions before beginning to work (see Chapter 2.5 "General safety instructions"). Secure the higher-level machine against restarting and unintentional movements during assembly and maintenance work (e.g. uncontrolled lowering of lifting axes).
