General information
Thermal power limit
The thermal power limit, defined by the heat balance, limits the permissible continuous
gearbox power. It is affected by
the churning losses in the lubricant. These are determined by the mounting position and
•
the circumferential speed of the gears
the load and the speed spectrum.
•
the ambient conditions: temperature, air circulation, input or dissipation of heat via shafts
•
and the foundations.
NOTICE
A thermal check with the Drive Solution Designer (DSD) or contacting your Lenze
representative is required if
▶ the input speed n
> 1500 rpm is fallen below in case of the gearbox ratios given in the
1
following.
▶ the drive speeds mentioned in the following will be exceeded as a function of the mounting
position. For a short period of time up to 5 min, 30 % higher speeds are permissible.
▶ the ambient temperature is predominantly above +30 °C.
