Safety General safety instructions Objects flung out by rotating components can cause serious injuries. Remove objects and tools from the gearhead before putting it into operation. Rotating components on the gearhead can pull in parts of the body and cause serious injuries and even death. Keep a sufficient distance to rotating machinery while the gearhead is running.
Description of the gearhead Description of the gearhead The gearhead is a single- or multistage, low-backlash planetary gearhead, which is manufactured as standard in the following versions: "M" (motor-mounted gearhead) Motor centering of the motor-mounted gearhead is performed: - up to gearhead size SP 100 and a motor shaft diameter of 28 mm of by the clamping hub (plug receptacle or coupling) - from gearhead size SP...

Description of the gearhead Performance statistics Please refer to our catalogue or our Internet page for the maximum permitted speeds and torques:http://www.wittenstein-alpha.de Please consult our Customer Service department if your gearhead is older than a year. You will then receive the valid performance data. Weight The table "Tbl-3"...
Check the completeness of the delivery against the delivery note. Missing parts or damage must be notified immediately in writing to the carrier, the insurance, or WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH. Packaging The gearhead is delivered packed in foil and cardboard boxes.
Assembly Assembly Be informed of the general safety instructions before beginning work. (see Chapter 2.7 "General safety instructions"). Preparations Pressurized air can damage the gearhead seals. Do not use pressurized air to clean the gearhead. Directly sprayed cleaning agents can alter the frictional values of the clamping hub.

Assembly Ensure that the motor is mounted if possible in a vertical direction. If the motor shaft has a shaft key, remove the shaft key. If recommended by the motor manufacturer, insert a half wedge. Remove the plug (A) from the mounting bore in the adaptor plate (B).
Assembly Tighten the clamping bolt (H) of the clamping hub (D). Screw in plug (A) of the adaptor plate (B). For screw sizes and specified torques refer to table "Tbl-6". Width across flats [mm] Tightening torque [Nm] Tbl-6: Torques for the plugs Mounting the gearhead to a machine Observe the safety and processing instructions of the screw-bonding agents to be used.
Assembly 5.4.1 Mounting on the slip-on shaft with shrink disk The slip-on shaft has a smooth design (without keyway). For the load shaft, we recommend the tolerance h6 (DIN ISO 286). The material must have a minimum yield stress of 385 N/mm .
Assembly Check that the front surfaces of the outer and inner rings are aligned. Only then is the correct braced condition obtained. If this flush alignment is not obtained during bracing, the tolerance of the machine shaft must be checked. Check twice in a row that the clamping screws (A) have the maximum tightening torque.
Startup and operation Startup and operation Be informed of the general safety instructions before beginning work. (see Chapter 2.7 "General safety instructions"). Improper use can cause damage to the gearhead. Make sure that - the ambient temperature does not drop below –15 °C or exceed +40 °C and - the operating temperature does not exceed +90 °C.
Maintenance and disposal Maintenance and disposal Be informed of the general safety instructions before beginning work. (see Chapter 2.7 "General safety instructions"). Maintenance work 7.1.1 Visual inspection Check the entire gearhead for exterior damage. The radial shaft seals are subject to wear. Therefore also check the gearhead for leakage during each visual inspection.
Maintenance and disposal Notes on the lubricant used All gearheads are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer with synthetic gear oil (polyglycols) of viscosity class ISO VG100, ISO VG220 or with a high-performance lubricant (see type plate). All bearings are permanently lubricated by the company. You can receive further information on the lubricants directly from the manufacturer: Standard lubricants Lubricants for the food industry...
Malfunctions Malfunctions Changed operational behavior can be an indication of existing damage to the gearhead or cause damage to the gearhead. Do not put the gearhead back into operation until the cause of the malfunction has been rectified. Rectifying of malfunctions may be done by only by especially trained technicians.
