3.5 Description of the lubrication of the gear unit

3.5.1 Function of lubrication

Lubrication is necessary for these functions:
• To prevent metal-to-metal contact in gears and bearings
• To decrease friction losses
• To dissipate generated heat from the gears and the bearings
• To prevent corrosion
These parameters have an effect on the type of lubrication system for the gear unit:
• Gear speed
• Mounting position of the gear unit
• Operation conditions
The certified drawing shows the lubrication system that is used for your gear unit.

3.5.2 Oil bath lubrication

The parts of the gear unit that turn get the oil from the oil bath and supply the oil on all the
necessary parts of the gear unit. After the lubrication, the oil flows back to the oil bath in
the housing of the gear unit.

3.5.3 Splash lubrication

The movement of the gears splashes oil on all the parts where lubrication is necessary.

16 IM_Paramax_002_EN
 Description

3.5.4 Force-feed lubrication

An oil pump lubricates all turning parts above the level of the oil bath. The oil pump
pumps the oil through pressure lines.
There are different types of oil pumps:
• Integrated pump: one of the shafts of the gear unit operates the oil pump.
• Motor pump: a motor operates the oil pump.
The lubrication can be circulation lubrication or pressure lubrication.

Integrated pump
Refer to the certified drawing for the lubrication system for your gear unit. The lubrication
system can have these parts:
• A pump
• A filter with bypass
• A flow switch
The pump can operate in two directions of rotation.

Motor pump
A sign on the pump shows the direction of rotation of the motor shaft of the motor pump.

3.6 Breather plug

A breather plug is installed to prevent a too high pressure in the gear unit.

3.7 Cooling system

A cooling system can be necessary to remove heat from the gear unit. Friction and
churning of gears and bearings in the gear oil causes the heat.
The certified drawing shows the cooling system that is used for your gear unit, if any.

3.8 Direction of rotation of the shafts

As a standard, the shafts of the gear unit can turn in two directions. If the shafts of the
gear unit can only turn in one direction, a sign on the gear unit and the certified drawing
shows this.

IM_Paramax_002_EN 17
Safety

4 Safety

4.1 Restrictions
Warning: Use of the gear unit in ways other than described in the related
documents may result in injury, death, or property and equipment damage.
Use the gear unit only as described in the related documents.

SDT cannot be held responsible for injuries or damages resulting from non-standard,
unintended use of the gear unit. The gear unit is designed and intended only for the
purpose described in the related documents.
Unintended use includes these actions:
• Making changes to the gear unit that have not been recommended in the related
documents or using parts that are not replacement parts or accessories from SDT.
• Use of materials or equipment that are inappropriate or incompatible with the gear
unit.
• Use of gear oils and grease that is not indicated on the type plate or the specifications
in this document.
• Allowing unapproved personnel to perform any task on or with the gear unit.

4.2 Approved installation engineer

The term approved installation engineer is specified here as a person that fully knows the
gear unit and its safe operation. Approved installation engineers obey all related safety
regulations and are approved to safely install the gear unit.
It is the responsibility of the company that owns the system where the gear unit is part of
to make sure that all installation engineers obey these requirements.

4.3 General safety instructions

Warning: Obey the specifications that the certified drawing shows. If
specifications in this document and the certified drawing for the same item are
different, only the specifications in the certified drawing are applicable.

• When you do work on or with the gear unit, obey all legislation and regulations that
apply to safety and work requirements, that apply in the country and at the location
where you do work on the gear unit.
• Obey the safety instructions of the manufacturer of all chemical materials, including
gear oil and grease. Refer to the material data sheets of the chemical material. Make
sure that all personnel that installs, does maintenance and servicing on the gear unit,
receives these safety instructions.
• Do not open the gear unit near an open flame, spark or hot object. If not this can
cause ignition of the fumes of the oil.
• If the gear unit is used as a part of a system that moves persons, obey all regulations
and install all necessary safety devices.
• Do not use a gear unit that has damage.
• Do not use a gear unit that gives unexpected noise and vibrations.
• Do not cause a blockage of the air flow around the gear unit. For the dimensions, refer
to the certified drawing.

 Safety

4.4 Safety instructions for installation

• Make sure that the personnel that lift the gear unit are approved and obey state-of-the-
art safety procedures and state-of-the-art lifting equipment.
• Obey the European Directives 2006/42/EG and the local safety regulations and install
guards and other safety equipment.
• Make sure that the drive group the gear unit is a part of, cannot start when you install
the gear unit.
• If safety devices are removed for installation, make sure they are correctly installed
again before you start the gear unit.
• Make sure that the installation agrees with the EMC directive.

4.5 Special safety instructions (backstop)

Warning:
• Do not loosen a part of the backstop when there is load on the gear unit. In
this condition, the gear unit can turn in the incorrect direction.
• Make sure that a failure of a backstop cannot cause injury or damage to
the system.

4.6 Noise and vibrations

The drive group, which the gear unit is a part of, and the attached parts cause vibrations
and noise.
To agree with local legislation, it can be necessary to decrease the noise of the drive
group and the attached parts. Speak to SDT.
If you cannot do such procedures, all personnel that does work with or adjacent to the
drive group must wear correct personnel protection equipment, to decrease the noise to
the ears.
Make sure that the vibration agrees with ISO standard 10816-3.

4.7 Partly completed machine

The gear unit is a part of a drive group. Refer to the documentation of the drive group and
obey all instructions of the drive group.

4.8 Instructions in case of a fire

Warning: After a fire, protective clothing and respiratory equipment are
mandatory to handle the gear unit. After a fire, the gear unit can contain
dangerous substances that cause injury when you touch or breath them.

• Do not start a gear unit that has burn marks. Speak to SDT.
• Hazardous substances of combustion can be generated in a fire involving materials in
section Materials of the gear unit on page 58.
