Please read these operating instructions and the operating instructions for the MOTOX gearboxes BA 2010 or BA 2515 before working with the gearbox. Please refer to the other operating instructions supplied with the product.
● BA 2330 - operating instructions for LA/LE/LES motors ● BA 2510 - operating instructions for MOTOX optional add-on units ● BA 2515 - operating instructions for MOTOX gearboxes for overhead conveyors Copyright The copyright to these operating instructions is held by Steinlen Elektromaschinenbau GmbH.
For different installation altitudes and ambient temperatures, contact Technical Support. The gearboxes are designed only for the area of application described in Chapter Technical data in the operating instructions BA 2010 or BA 2515 for MOTOX gearboxes. Do not operate the gearboxes outside the specified performance limits.
Observe the permissible tightening torque of the fastening bolts. Replace damaged bolts with new bolts of the same type and strength class. Steinlen Elektromaschinenbau GmbH accepts the warranty only for original spare parts. The manufacturer who installs the geared motors in a plant must include the regulations contained in the operating instructions in its own operating instructions.
General information and safety notes 1.6 Particular types of hazards Particular types of hazards WARNING Extreme surface temperatures Hot surfaces over +55 °C pose a burn risk. Cold surfaces below 0 °C pose a risk of damage due to freezing. Do not touch the gearbox without protection.
Technical description Flexible coupling NOTICE A coupling with a peripheral speed of up to 30 m/s at the outer diameter must be statically balanced A coupling with a peripheral speed of more than 30 m/s requires dynamic balancing. A flexible coupling is generally used for the gearbox input and output. If a rigid coupling or other input or output elements are to be used that give rise to additional radial and / or axial forces (e.g.
Page 14
Technical description 2.2 Backstop The gearbox can be fitted with a mechanical backstop. The backstop can be fitted either in the coupling lantern or in the 2nd stage of the bevel helical gearbox. It permits only the correct direction of rotation during operation. This is indicated by an arrow pointing in the corresponding direction.
Installation Unpacking NOTICE Transport damage impairs the correct function of the geared motor Never commission faulty or defective motors. Check the motor for completeness and damage. Report any missing parts or damage immediately. Remove and dispose of the packaging material and transport equipment in compliance with regulations.

Installation 3.2 General information on installation NOTICE Overheating caused by solar radiation Overheating of the gearbox due to exposure to direct sunlight. Provide suitable protective equipment such as covers or roofs. Prevent heat accumulation. NOTICE Malfunction resulting from foreign objects The operator must ensure that no foreign objects impair the function of the gearbox.
Installation 3.3 Thread sizes and tightening torques for fastening bolts Thread sizes and tightening torques for fastening bolts The general tolerance for the tightening torque is 10 %. The tightening torque is based on a friction coefficient of μ = 0.14. Table 3- 1 Tightening torques for fastening bolts Thread size...
