2.6 Transportation
Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shipment for any damage that may have occurred
during transportation. Inform the shipping company immediately. It may be necessary to
preclude startup.
Tighten installed eyebolts. They are only intended for 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 suspension eye lugs
or lifting eyebolts, then both of the suspension eye lugs should be used for transporta-
tion. In this case, the tension force vector of the slings must not exceed a 45° angle ac-
cording to DIN 580.
Use suitable, sufficiently rated handling equipment if necessary. Remove any transpor-
tation fixtures prior to startup.
2.7 Extended storage

Observe the notes in section "Extended storage" (see page 106).
2.8 Installation/assembly
Observe the notes in section "Mechanical Installation" (see page 17)!
2.9 Startup/operation
Check the oil level before startup as described in chapter Inspection/Maintenance
(see page 61).
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.

4.2 Prerequisites for assembly
CAUTION!
Improper assembly may result in damages to the gear unit/gearmotor.
Possible damage to property!
• Do closely observe the notes in this chapter.
Ensure 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" (see page 107).
– No harmful oils, acids, gases, vapors, radiation etc. in the vicinity
For special versions:
– The drive is designed in accordance with the ambient conditions. Refer to the in-
formation 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]
• You must clean the output shafts and flange surfaces thoroughly to ensure they are
free of anti-corrosion agents, contamination or similar. Use a standard solvent. Do
not let the solvent come into contact with the sealing lips of the oil seals – danger of
damage to the material!
• When the drive is installed in abrasive ambient conditions, protect the output end oil
seals against wear.
Installing the gear unit

4.3 Installing the gear unit

The gear unit or gearmotor is only allowed to be installed in the specified mounting po-
sition. Refer to the information on the nameplate. Apart from the W37, SPIROPLAN®
gear units do not imply a particular mounting position.
The support structure must have the following characteristics:
• Level
• Vibration damping
• Torsionally rigid
The Maximum permitted flatness error 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 ∅ 120 mm
• and RZ37, RZ47, RZ57, RZ67, RZ77, RZ87
NOTE
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 in-
tended mounting position (see section "Lubricant fill quantities" (see page 110) or refer
to the information on the nameplate). The gear units are filled with the required oil vol-
ume at the factory. There may be slight deviations at the oil level plug as a result of the
mounting position, which are permitted within the manufacturing tolerances.
4 Installing the gear unit
If you change the mounting position, make sure that you change the lubricant fill
quantities and the position of the breather valve accordingly. Observe section "Lu-
bricant fill quantities" (see page 110) and chapter "Mounting Positions" (see page 79).
Consult the SEW customer service if you intend to change the mounting position of K
gear units to or between M5 and M6.
Consult the SEW customer service if you intend to change the mounting position of S
gear units sizes S47 ... S97, to M2 and M3.
In case there is a risk of electrochemical corrosion between the gear unit and the driven
machine, use plastic inserts that are 2 to 3 mm thick. The material used must have an
electrical leakage resistance; 109 Ω. Electrochemical corrosion can occur between var-
ious 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.

NOTE
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 potential
sources of combustion according to DIN EN 13463 (for example, impact sparks).

4.9.3 Installation without cover

In certain individual cases (e.g. through-shaft), you cannot install the cover. In such
cases, the cover is not necessary if the system or unit manufacturer provides corre-
sponding components to guarantee for the compliance with the required degree of pro-
tection.
If this results in additional maintenance, you have to describe this in the operating in-
structions for system/component.

8.1 Extended storage
NOTE
For storage periods longer than 9 months, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends the "Ex-
tended storage" design. Gear units in this design are designated with a corresponding
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 corrosion inhibitor is only effective in
a temperature range of -25 °C ... +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.
Gear units will be supplied with an oil fill according to the mounting position (M1 ... M6)
and are ready for operation. Check the oil level before you start operating the gear unit
for the first time!

8.2 Lubricants
Unless a special arrangement is made, SEW-EURODRIVE supplies the drives with a
lubricant fill adapted for the specific gear unit and mounting position. You have to specify
the mounting position (M1...M6, see section. "Mounting Positions") when you order the
drive. You must adapt the lubricant fill in case of any subsequent changes made to the
mounting position (→ Lubricant fill quantities).
8.2.1 Lubricant table

The lubricant table on the following page shows the permitted lubricants for
SEW-EURODRIVE gear units. Observe the following legend with regards to the lubri-
cant table.
Key to the lubricant Abbreviations used, meaning of shading, and notes:

table CLP = Mineral oil
CLP PG = Polyglycol (W gear units, conforms to USDA-H1)
CLP HC = Synthetic hydrocarbons
E = Ester oil (water hazard class 1 (German regulation))
HCE = Synthetic hydrocarbons + ester oil (USDA - H1 certification)
HLP = Hydraulic oil
= Synthetic lubricant (= synthetic-based anti-friction bearing grease)
= Mineral lubricant (= mineral-based anti-friction bearing grease)
1) Helical-worm gear units with PG oil: Please coordinate with SEW

2) Special lubricant for Spiroplan® gear units only
3) Recommendation: Select SEW fB ≥ 1.2
