On this manual This operating manual contains necessary information for the safe operation of the planetary gearhead SP , referred to as gearhead in the following. The operator must make sure that this operating manual is read through by all persons assigned to install, operate, or maintain the gearhead, and that they understand it.
- operation of a heavily soiled gearhead - non-observance of information on transport and storage - modifications or reconstructions that have been carried out without the written authorisation of WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH - improper or neglected maintenance and repair Revision: 06...
General safety instructions WARNING Objects flung out by rotating components can cause serious injuries. Remove objects and tools from the gearhead before putting it into operation. WARNING 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 General Information The gearhead is a one- or multistage, low-backlash planetary gearhead, which is manufactured as standard in the “M” version (motor installation). The output shaft bearing is designed to receive high tilting moments and axial forces. Motor centring is performed: - up to gearhead size SP 100 and a motor shaft diameter of 24 mm of through the clamping...

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 CAUTION Loose or overloaded screw connections can damage the gearhead. Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten and check all screw connections for which a tightening torque has been specified. CAUTION Intensive distortions when assembling the motor (e.g. for motors with shaft shoulder, extensive chamfer radius or longer shafts than permitted for the gearhead) can damage the gearhead and the motor.
Mounting the motor onto the gearhead If the motor shaft has a feather key, remove the feather key. If recommended by the motor manufacturer, apply a half wedge. Remove the plug (A) from the mounting bore in the adaptor plate (B). Turn the clamping hub (D) until the clamping bolt (C) can be reached over the mounting bore.
Mounting gearhead on a machine Smear screw-bonding agent (e.g. Loctite 243) onto the fastening bolts. Fasten the gearhead on the machine with the bolts through the holes (A). Mount the gearhead in such a way that the type plate remains legible. Do not use washers (e.g.
Startup and operation WARNING Objects flung out by rotating components can cause serious injuries. Remove objects and tools from the gearhead before putting it into operation. WARNING 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.
Maintenance and disposal CAUTION Hot gearhead housing can cause serious burns. Touch the gearhead housing only when wearing protective gloves or after the gearhead has been idle for some time. WARNING Rotating components on the gearhead can pull in parts of the body and cause serious injuries and even death.
Notes on the lubricant used INFORMATION All gearheads are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer with synthetic gear oil (polyglycols) of viscosity class ISO VG 220 or with a high- performance lubricant (see type plate). You can receive further information on the lubricants directly from the manufacturer: Castrol Industrie GmbH, Mönchengladbach Tel.: + 49 (0) 21 61/9 09 - 30 Supplementary information...
Malfunctions CAUTION Changed operational behaviour 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. Fault Possible cause Solution Increased operating The gearhead is not suited...
