Operating Limits And Conditions - BONFIGLIOLI Riduttori AS Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

3.4 OPERATING LIMITS AND CONDITIONS

The applications permitted by the Manufacturer are the industrial applications for which the gearbox
has been designed.
Changes to the gearbox version or mounting position are only permitted if previously authorized by the
manufacturer's technical assistance service.
Failure to obtain this authorization invalidates the ATEX certification.
Refer to chapter "ALLOWED TEMPERATURE LIMITS" for the optimum ambient conditions.
The gearbox may not be used in areas and environments:
●
with highly corrosive/abrasive vapors, smoke or dust
●
In direct contact with loose food products.
Do not use the gearbox/ geared motor, if not explicitly intended for the purpose, in a potentially
explosive atmosphere or where the use of explosion-proof equipment is specified.
The maximum surface temperature specified on the nameplate refers to measurements made in
normal ambient and installation conditions.
Even minimal variations in these conditions (e.g. smaller mounting compartments, proximity of
external equipment to the gear unit that generates heat and not provided by the manufacturer) may
have a significant effect on heat dissipation.
