1/20 (5%). When changing the lubricant type or the ambient temperature range, please consult Getriebebau NORD. Otherwise, no warranty can be accepted for the function of the gear units.
This table shows comparable approved lubricants from various manufacturers. The oil manufacturer can be changed within a viscosity and lubricant type. Only change the lubricant type or the viscosity after consultation with Getriebebau NORD. Mixing different oils is not permissible. When changing the gear oil, different oils of one lubricant type with the same viscosity may be mixed in a maximum ratio of 1/20 (5%).
Explosion-protected industrial gear units – Operating and Assembly Instructions The auxiliary drive itself (option WX) or the first-stage gear unit (option WG) contains oil according to its own name plate. For components supplied with the product (e.g. fluid couplings or gear couplings), read the relevant manufacturers’...
7 Appendix 7.3.4 Lubricant quantities The lubricating oil quantity stated on the type plate is a guideline value. The precise quantity varies depending on the exact gear ratio and any options (e.g. OSG, OST, OT). Ensure that the oil level is correct. Adjust the oil level as necessary (see Section 5.2.6 "Oil level"). Information After changing the lubricant, and in particular after the initial filling, the oil level may change during the first few hours of operation, as the oil galleries and hollow spaces only fill gradually during operation.
Clean the soiled floor before starting troubleshooting. Gear unit malfunctions Fault Possible cause Remedy Oil level too low Correct oil level, Consult NORD Service department Bearing damage Consult NORD Service department Unusual running noises, Gear wheel damage Consult NORD Service department vibrations...

Explosion-protected industrial gear units – Operating and Assembly Instructions 7.7 Leakage and leak-tightness Gear units are filled with oil or grease to lubricate the moving parts. Seals prevent the escape of lubricants. Full leak-tightness is technically not possible, as a certain film of moisture, for example on the radial shaft seals is normal and advantageous for a long-term sealing effect.
