2 Addendum to the Operating Instructions – Pivoted and Variable Mounting Positions

1 Pivoted mounting positions and variable mounting positionsImportant Information

1 Important Information

1.1 Pivoted mounting positions and variable mounting positionsMounting positions differing from standard mounting positions are referred to as pivotedor variable mounting positions.

Gear units with pivoted mounting position have a fixed mounting position that differsfrom the standard.

Gear units with variable mounting position can change the mounting position variablywithin the specified range.

The designation of pivoted and variable mounting positions is set up as follows:

The following figure shows some examples:

All final positions have to be specified if the mounting position of the gear unit deviatesfrom standard mounting positions in several directions. Combinations of fixed and vari-able final positions are possible.

NOTICEThis information does not replace the detailed operating instructions.

A requirement of fault-free operation and fulfillment of any rights to claim underguarantee is that you adhere to the information in the operating instructions. Read the operating instructions (mind the respective gear unit series) before you startworking with the unit!

1Pivoted mounting positions and variable mounting positionsImportant Information

Example of a gear unit that – based on M1 – is tilted by ±20° around the drive shaft dur-ing operation and is mounted in a fixed 30° angle around the longitudinal axis:

M1 - M2/20°/V - M4/20°/V - M5/30°/F

1.1.1 Checking the oil level Notes

Example using M1 as original mounting position:

TIPPivoted and variable mounting positions may involve restrictions concerning accesso-ries and technical data. Also, delivery times might be longer.Consult SEW-EURODRIVE.

DANGERRisk of crushing if the drive starts up unintentionally.

Severe or fatal injuries.• De-energize the motor before you start working on the unit.• Secure the motor against unintended power-up.

WARNINGDanger of burns due to hot gear unit and hot gear unit oil.

Fatal injuries.• Let the gear unit cool down before you start working on it.

TIPCheck the oil level for standard and pivoted mounting positions in the actual mount-ing position.

With variable mounting positions, position the gear unit in the original mounting po-sition prior to checking the oil level (see page 2), and observe the notes on the drive orin the order-specific documentation.
