Mounting positions STOBER coordinates the lubricant fill volume and structure of the gear unit types listed above to the mounting position of the gear unit in the machine. The mounting position of a gear unit is determined upon ordering and specified in the order documents.
3 | Product description Direction of rotation The pictures show mounting position EL1. Ambient conditions Standard ambient conditions for transport, storage and operation of the gear unit are described in this chapter. Deviating ambient conditions for special designs are specified in the order confirmation. Ambient conditions for motors attached to a gear unit can be found in the technical documentation of the motor.

4 | Transport and storage Transport and storage STOBER products are packaged carefully and delivered ready for installation. The type of packaging depends on the product size and the transport method. Observe the following information during transport and storage: §...
2. Completely fill the gear unit with lubricant. The lubricant specification can be found by entering the serial number of the gear unit at https://id.stober.com or by scanning the QR code on the nameplate of the gear unit. Before commissioning the gear unit, reduce the lubricant fill volume to the fill volume that is specified on the nameplate of...
This chapter contains information on how to mount a motor on a STOBER gear unit with a motor adapter. The motor adapter type of your gear unit can be found on the nameplate of the gear unit. STOBER recommends using a motor with a shaft without a feather key, since the keyway negatively affects smooth operation.
Permitted tilting torques at the gear unit input If you mount a STOBER gear unit on the machine in a horizontal mounting position, check that the permitted tilting torque is not exceeded on the gear unit input before mounting the corresponding motor. Information on the permitted tilting...
Procedure In order to prevent unfavorable shifting or tilting of the motor shaft, STOBER recommends mounting the motor on the gear unit with the motor shaft pointing down vertically. 1. Position the gear unit (5), if necessary with the aid of lifting gear, on a suitable support (1) so that the motor can be mounted in a vertical position.
Page 18
5 | Installation 9. If necessary, use two suitable attachment points to secure the motor with the lifting gear so that the motor shaft is pointing down vertically. 10. Turn the motor in an axial position to the gear unit so that the nameplates are on the same side, if possible, and can also be read after installation in the machine.

The maximum surface temperature occurs in approx. 3 hours, depending on the utilization of the drive, and must not exceed the maximum value of 90 °C in the event of a maximum surrounding temperature. Immediately shutdown the drive if the maximum value is exceeded and contact STOBER Service.
7 | Servicing Servicing Cleaning If the surface of the drive is dirty, heat dissipation through the ambient air is no longer sufficient. As a result, impermissibly high operating temperatures that reduce the lubricating effect of the lubricant and accelerate its aging could occur. This has a negative effect on the service life of the drive.
Servicing Have the necessary servicing work carried out on the drive by the STOBER Service department or by STOBER service partners. Be aware that improper servicing may cause material damage and may void the manufacturer's warranty. Only use replacement parts delivered by STOBER. Specify the type designation and serial number of the drive when...
7 | Servicing Service If you contact STOBER Service, have the following information ready: § Serial number and type designation of the drive according to the nameplate § Type of fault and surrounding circumstances § Presumed cause § If possible, digital photo of the drive or a video recording of the drive in the context of the fault Contact data of parent company in Germany STÖBER Antriebstechnik GmbH + Co.
8 | Removal and disposal Removal and disposal Removal Remove the drive as follows: 1. If the drive had been in operation immediately beforehand, allow it to cool. 2. Disconnect the connection cable and the grounding conductor from the motor. 3.
