Transport/storage
2
2.6 Transport/storage
Inspect the shipment for any damage that may have occurred in transit as soon as you
receive the delivery. Inform the shipping company immediately. It may be necessary to
preclude startup.
Tighten the eyebolts securely. They are designed to only carry the weight of the
motor/gearmotor; do not attach any additional loads.
The built-in lifting eyebolts comply with DIN 580. Always observe the loads and regula-
tions listed in this standard. If the gearmotor is equipped with two eyebolts, then both
should be used for transportation. In this case, the tension force vector of the slings must
not exceed a 45° angle according to DIN 580.
Use suitable, sufficiently rated handling equipment if required. Reattach these in the
case of further transportation.
Store the motor/gearmotor in a dry, dust-free environment if it is not to be installed
straight away. You must not store the motor/gearmotor outdoors or on the fan guard.
The motor/gearmotor can be stored for up to 9 months without requiring any special
measures before startup.
2.7 Installation
Observe the notes in the "Mechanical Installation" chapter.
2.8 Startup/operation
Check the oil level before startup as described in chapter Inspection/Maintenance
(page 82).
Check that the direction of rotation is correct in decoupled status. Listen out for unusual
grinding noises as the shaft rotates.
Secure keys for test mode without output elements. Do not deactivate monitoring and
protection equipment even in test mode.
Switch off the gearmotor if in doubt whenever changes occur in relation to normal oper-
ation (e.g. increased temperature, noise, vibration). Determine the cause and contact
SEW-EURODRIVE, if required.
2.9 Inspection/maintenance
Observe the notes in chapter "Inspection/Maintenance".

Check that the following conditions have been met:

• The entries on the nameplate of the gearmotor match the voltage supply system.
• The drive has not been damaged during transportation or storage.
• Ensure that the following requirements have been met:
For standard gear units:
– Ambient temperature according to the technical documentation, nameplate and
lubricant table in section "Lubricants" (page 131).
– No harmful oils, acids, gases, vapors, radiation etc. in the vicinity
For special designs:
– The drive is designed in accordance with the ambient conditions. Observe the
information on the nameplate.
For helical-worm/SPIROPLAN® W gear units:
– No large external mass moments of inertia which could exert a retrodriving load
on the gear unit.
[for η’ (retrodriving) = 2 – 1/η < 0.5 self-locking]
For servo motor mounting:
– Do not assemble the drive without having ensured that there will be sufficient ven-
tilation after installation to prevent heat build-up.
• You must clean the output shafts and flange surfaces thoroughly to ensure they are
free of anti-corrosion agents, contamination or similar. Use a commercially available
solvent. Do not expose the sealing lips of the oil seals to the solvent – damage to the
material.
• When the drive is installed in abrasive ambient conditions, protect the output end oil
seals against wear.

Risk of injury.
• Removing the shrink disk properly.
• Observe the following removal notes.
• Work on the gear unit only when the machine is not in use. Secure the drive unit
against unintentional power-up.
• Protect the gear unit from direct cold air currents. Condensation may cause water to
accumulate in the oil.
The gear unit or gearmotor is only allowed to be installed in the specified mounting
position. Observe the information on the nameplate. SPIROPLAN® gear units of size
W10 – W30 are mounting position-independent.
The support structure must have the following characteristics:
• Level
• Vibration damping
• Torsionally rigid
Maximum permitted flatness defect for foot and flange mounting (guide values with
reference to DIN ISO 1101):
• Gear unit size ≤ 67: Max. 0.4 mm
• Gear unit size 77 – 107: Max. 0.5 mm
Do not tighten the housing legs and mounting flanges against one another and ensure
that you comply with the permitted overhung and axial loads! Observe chapter "Project
Planning" in the Gear unit/gearmotor catalog for calculating the permitted overhung and
axial loads.
Secure gearmotors using quality 8.8 screws.
Secure the following gearmotors using quality 10.9 screws:
• RF37, R37F with flange Ø = 120 mm
• RF37, RF47, R47F with flange Ø = 140 mm
• RF57, R57F with flange Ø = 160 mm

4 Installing the gear unit
INFORMATION
When installing the gear unit, make sure that the oil level and drain plugs as well as
the breather plugs are easily accessible!
At the same time, also check that the oil fill corresponds to the specifications for the
intended mounting position (see chapter "Lubricant fill quantities (page 133)" or refer to
the information on the nameplate). The gear units are filled with the required oil volume
at the factory. There may be slight deviations at the oil level plug as a result of the mount-
ing position, which are permitted within the manufacturing tolerances.
Adjust the lubricant fill volumes and the position of the breather valve accordingly
in the event of a change of mounting position. Observe section "Lubricant fill quan-
tities (page 133)" and section "Mounting Positions (page 101)".
Consult the SEW customer service if you intend to change the mounting position of K
gear to M5 or M6 or between M5 and M6.
Please contact our SEW customer service if you want to change the mounting position
of size S47 – S97 helical-worm gear units to mounting position M2 or M3.
Use plastic inserts (2 – 3 mm thick) if there is a risk of electrochemical corrosion between
the gear unit and the driven machine. The material used must have an electrical leakage
resistance < 109 Ω. Electrochemical corrosion can occur between various metals, for
example, cast iron and high-grade steel. Also fit the bolts with plastic washers. Ground
the housing additionally – use the grounding bolts on the motor.

INFORMATION
The SEW installation kit for attaching the customer shaft is a recommendation by
SEW-EURODRIVE. You must always check whether this design can compensate the
axial loads. In particular applications (e.g. mounting mixer shafts), a different design
may have to be used to secure the shaft axially. In these cases, customers can use
their own devices. However, you must ensure that these designs do not cause poten-
tial sources of combustion according to DIN EN 13463 (for example, impact sparks).

The applied torque is transmitted by the inertial force of the streaming fluid. This fluid
circulates within a closed circuit, between the pump wheel (primary side) [12] on the driv-
ing shaft (motor shaft) and the turbine wheel (secondary side) [9] on the driven shaft
(gear unit input shaft).

4.14.2 Diagnostic units DUV and DUO

DUV diagnostic The DUV30A diagnostic unit evaluates vibration signals using frequency analysis meth-
unit ods. A micromechanical acceleration sensor is used in the unit. Data can be recorded,
processed and evaluated locally without any expert knowledge.
The DUV30A diagnostic unit is suitable for early recognition of rolling element bearing
damage or unbalance. The continuous monitoring function represents a reliable and
cost-effective solution compared to intermittent methods.
The DUV30A has been designed as a combined sensor that can be used as normal- or
slow-speed unit. The only difference is the measuring time in the firmware and the
resulting frequency range.
The following figure shows the DUV30A diagnostic unit:
4428331403
INFORMATION
You find more information on the evaluation unit in the "DUV30A Diagnostic Unit"
manual, part number 16710010/EN.
DUO diagnostic DUO10A comprises a diagnostic unit and a temperature sensor. The temperature
unit sensor (PT100 or PT1000 resistance sensor) is positioned in the gear unit oil to record
the oil's temperature. The diagnostic units uses the oil temperature values to calculate
the remaining service life of the oil.
The diagnostic unit records the gear unit temperature continuously and calculates the
remaining service life for the selected oil type immediately. For this purpose, the diag-
nostic unit must be supplied with a 24 V voltage supply. Times when the diagnostic unit
is switched off are not included in the forecast.

4.14.3 Gear unit heater for gear unit series R..7, F..7, and K..7
An oil heating can be required in order to allow for a smooth startup in the event of a cold
start at low ambient temperatures. An oil heating is available with an external or an
integrated thermostat depending on the gear unit design.
The heater is screwed into the gear unit housing and is controlled via a thermostat. The
limit temperature of the heater, below which the oil must be heated, is set depending on
the respective lubricant.
The following figure shows a gear unit with heater and external thermostat:

4.14.4 Flange coupling

Flange couplings [1] are rigid couplings for connecting 2 shafts [2].
They are suitable for operation in both directions of rotation, but cannot compensate any
shaft misalignments.
Torque between shaft and coupling is transmitted via a cylindrical interference fit. The
two coupling halves are mounted together at their flanges. The couplings are equipped
with several disassembly bores [3] for removing the interference fit hydraulically.

5151394955
INFORMATION
Make sure that the gear unit shaft is rotating during the regreasing process.
Position of Regreasable sealing systems are usually equipped with taper greasing nipples accord-
greasing points ing to DIN 71412 A R1/8. Regreasing must be carried out at regular intervals. The greas-
ing points are located near the output shaft, see following figure:
4986644747
4.14.6 Oil drain valve

The gear unit is equipped with an oil drain plug as standard. An oil drain valve may be
provided as option. This valve allows for a drain pipe to be easily attached when chang-
ing the gear unit oil.
4984750475
4.14.7 Oil expansion tank

The oil expansion tank is to compensate for the oil volume variations in the system
caused by temperature fluctuations. If the gear unit temperature increases, the expan-
sion tank absorbs some of the increasing oils volume and feeds it back to the gear unit
as the temperature goes down, thus the gear unit is always completely filled with oil.
The figure shows an example of a gearmotor in mounting position M4:

5.1 Checking the oil level

Before startup, make sure that the oil level corresponds to the mounting position.
Observe section "Checking the oil level and changing the oil" (page 86).
If the gear unit is equipped with an oil sight glass, you can also determine the oil level at
the oil sight glass.
NOTICE
Damage to the gear unit due to oil leaking from the oil sight glass.
Possible damage to the unit.
• Attach a suitable protective device to exclude damage to the oil sight glass as a
result from shock or blows.
1. Observe the notes in chapter "Preliminary work regarding inspection/maintenance".
2. Check the oil level at the oil sight glass according to the following figure:
[1]
4158756363
[1] The oil level must be within this range
3. Proceed as follows if the oil level is too low:

– Open the respective oil fill plug, see chapter "Inspection/maintenance for the gear
unit".
– Fill in new oil of the same type via the oil fill plug up to the mark.
– Screw in the oil fill plug.
Before startup, make sure that the oil level corresponds to the mounting position.
Observe section "Checking the oil level and changing the oil" (page 86).
5.2 Pseudo-leakage at shaft seals

Due to their operating principle, seals between moving surfaces at shaft passages
cannot be completely tight, as a lubricant film must form during operation. The lubricant
film between shaft and sealing lip keeps the development of heat and wear on the seal-
ing system to a minimum and ensures the intended service life. The optimum sealing
properties are only achieved after the run-in phase.

7.3 Mounting position MX

Mounting position MX is available for all gear units of the R..7, F..7, K..7, S..7 and
SPIROPLAN® W series.
For mounting position MX, the gear units are delivered with the maximally possible
amount of oil and sealed with oil screw plugs. A breather valve is included with each
drive. The customer will have to adjust the oil quantity to the proper level depending on
the final mounting position in which the gear unit will be operated. Customers will also
have to mount the enclosed breather valve at the proper location depending on the
mounting position, see mounting position sheets.
The correct oil level must be checked according to chapter "Checking the oil level and
changing the oil" (page 86).
7.4 Universal mounting position M0

SPIROPLAN® W10 – W30 gearmotors can be ordered with M0 universal mounting
position as an option. Gear units with mounting position M0 are filled with the standard
amount of oil.
These gear units are entirely enclosed due to their small size. They can therefore be
designed without breather valve. Customers can use the gear unit universally in every
mounting position (M1 – M6) without having to take any measures prior to startup.

8.1 Extended storage
INFORMATION
For storage periods longer than 9 months, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends the
"Extended storage" design. Gear units in this design are designated with a corre-
sponding label.
In this case, a VCI corrosion inhibitor (volatile corrosion inhibitor) is added to the lubri-
cant in these gear units. Please note that this VCI anti-corrosion agent is only effective
in a temperature range of –25 °C to +50 °C. The flange contact surfaces and shaft ends
are also treated with an anti-corrosion agent.
Observe the storage conditions specified in the following table for extended storage:
8.1.1 Storage conditions

The gear units must remain tightly sealed until taken into operation to prevent the VCI
corrosion protection agent from evaporating.
The gear units come with the oil fill according to the specified mounting position (M1 –
M6). Check the oil level before you start operating the gear unit for the first time.
