General safety instructions for drive components
Temperatures
The permissible temperature range is determined by the following:
¯ The lubricant specifications in connection with the expected oil temperatures in
operation (see chapter 7.2 and nameplate).
¯ The thermal class of the motor considering the motor temperature expected
during operation (see nameplate and/or operating instructions of the motor).
¯ Protect geared motors against direct solar radiation. Avoid heat concentration
beneath covers.
The operating temperature is determined by the power loss, the ambient temperature
and the cooling system!
(Stop!
With mineral oil, the upper temperature limit for continuous operation is
80°C, with synthetic oil and shaft sealing rings made of FP (Viton) it is
100°C. If these temperatures are exceeded, measures are necessary to
reduce the temperature, (¶ 66).
2
}Danger!
Depending on the operating conditions, surfaces may be hot, provide
protection against accidental contact.
Ambient media
¯ Gearboxes are protected against dust and spray water.
¯ Motors according to their enclosure (see nameplate and/or operating instructions
for the motor).
¯ Ambient media − especially chemically aggressive − can destroy shaft seals and
coatings (plastic). Abrasive media endanger shaft seals.
¯ The installation site of the drive must be free of shocks and vibration.
¯ Protect geared motors against direct solar radiation. Avoid heat concentration
beneath covers.
¯ Dirt of dust deposits impede the heat dissipation (cooling).
Transport
Before transport
¯ check that all component parts are safely mounted;
¯ check that all component parts with a loose fastening are secured or removed;
¯ tighten all transport aids (eye bolts or support plates).
Use an appropriate means of transport and lifting equipment! (¶ 19)

Storage
If you do not install the gearbox immediately, provide for proper storage conditions.
¯ Generally
¯ Up to one year:
Safety instructions
General safety instructions for drive components
– Store gearboxes indoors in a dry, clean (low−dust) and sunlight−protected
environment.
– The storage location must be free from vibrations and shocks (V
in order to prevent roller bearing standstill damage.
– Temperature changes with condensate formation are to be avoided.
– Do not activate ventilation unit, in order to prevent air exchange with the
ambient air.
– Store gearboxes with a ventilation unit with the vent plug on top.
– Shafts and uncoated surfaces are delivered in a protected against rust status.
Aftertreatment is required where the corrosion protection has been damaged.
– Remove the plug for motors with condensation drain holes (option)(¶ 21).
< 0.2 mm/s)
eff
¯ More than one year, up to two years:
– Apply a long−term corrosion preventive (e.g. Anticorit BW 366 from the Fuchs
company) to the shafts and uncoated surfaces before storing the motor away.
– Install gearbox in mounting position A.
– Fill gearbox up to the top vent hole / oil hole with the oil grade specified (see
nameplate). Then mount the locking screw and ventilation unit (do not activate)
again.
Corrosion protection
Lenze offers paints with different resistance characteristics for drive systems. Since the
resistance may be reduced when the paint coat is damaged, defects in paint work (e.g.
through transport or assembly) must be removed professionally to reach the required
corrosion resistance.
)Note!
Increased surface and corrosion protection can be achieved by using
adapted coating systems.
Mechanical installation
¯ Provide for careful handling and avoid mechanical overload. During handling
neither bend components, nor change the insulation distances.

Electrical installation
¯ Carry out the electrical installation according to the relevant regulations (e. g.
cable cross−sections, fusing, connection to the PE conductor). Additional notes are
included in the documentation.
¯ The Instructions contain notes concerning wiring according to EMC regulations
(shielding, earthing, filters and cable routing). The compliance with limit values
required by the EMC legislation is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the
machine or system.
Warning: The inverters are automation components which can be used in industrial
environment according to EN 61000−6−4. These products may cause radio
interference in residential areas. If this happens, the operator may need to take
appropriate action.
¯ Only plug in or remove pluggable terminals in the deenergised state!
Commissioning
¯ If required, you have to equip the system with additional monitoring and
protective devices in accordance with the respective valid safety regulations (e. g.
law on technical equipment, regulations for the prevention of accidents).
2
¯ Before commissioning remove transport locking devices and keep them for later
transports.
Geared motors for deep−freeze applications
¯ Geared motors for deep−freeze applications are specially optimised to operation
at very low temperatures. Observe that for operation outside the temperature
range specified (e.g. during commissioning) increased wear or even failures may
occur.
¯ We recommend loading the gearbox with a maximum of 50 % of the rated output
torque if it is outside the specified temperature range during commissioning.
Disposal
Sort individual parts according to their properties. Dispose of them as specified by the
current national regulations.

will be switched off after some seconds of operation with I > I
there is the danger of blocking.
, especially if
N
– Installed overload protection does not prevent an overload under any
conditions.
¯ Installed brakes are no fail−safe brakes.
– The torque can be reduced due to disruptive factors that cannot be influenced,
e.g. by ingressing oil due to a defect shaft sealing ring on the A side.
¯ Fuses are no motor protection.
– Use current−dependent motor protection switches at average operating
frequency.
– Use installed thermal detectors at high operating frequency.
¯ In the case of permanent−magnet motors, too high torques cause
demagnetisation.
– The maximum torques according to catalogue must not be exceeded.
¯ If deviations from normal operation occur, e.g. increased temperature, noise,
vibration, determine the cause and, if necessary, contact the manufacturer. If in
doubt, switch off the motor.

4.2Transport
}Danger!
The motors attached to the gearbox are partially equipped with eyebolts.
They are exclusively determined for mounting/dismounting the motor to
the gearbox and must not be used for the complete geared motor!
The position of the transport holes can be gathered from the illustrations shown in the
following. As a standard, the G50BB145 ... G50BB243 size gearbox is provided with
transport holes for eye bolts complying with DIN 580 in the gearbox cover. The eye bolt
is not included in the scope of supply!
For the smaller drives with solid shafts, the output shaft thread can be used or the drive
is transported using a securing rope. The rope should be wrapped around the round area
between the motor−gearbox interface.
The gearboxes of sizes G50BB280 ... G50BB320 can be lifted at the ear that is cast on to
the housing.

Mechanical installation
Preparation
General information about the assembly of drive systems
(Stop!
The lubricant fill quantity of the gearboxes is matched to the mounting
position. The mounting position indicated on the nameplate must be
observed to avoid damage to the gearbox.
¯ Take safety measures prior to any operation:
– Disconnect the machine from the mains, ensure standstill of the drive system
and avoid any machine movement.
– Check faultless state of the drive system. Never install and commission
damaged drive systems.
– Check drive function - machine function assignment. Check direction of rotation
(¶ 46).
¯ The mounting areas / the foundation:
– must be plane, torsionally rigid, and free from vibrations,
– must be suited to absorb the forces and torques generated during operation,
– should have vibration−absorbing properties.
¯ Align drive system on mounting surfaces exactly with the machine shaft to be
driven.
– Be sure to carry out mounting in a manner free from distortion, in order to avoid
additional loads.
– Even out slight inaccuracies by the use of suitable flexible couplings.
¯ Support reaction torque by suitable measures.
¯ Be absolutely sure to secure fastening fixtures of accessories and built−on
accessories against unintended loosening. We recommend:
– the use of screws with a minimum property class of 8.8.
– with steel or cast iron output flanges, in particular for applications with an
alternating load, the use of screws with a strength of 10.9 with correspondingly
high tightening torques.
– Secure screwed connections with medium strength using screw locking
adhesive.

Leaky pipe to the oil compensation reservoir
The pipe of the oil compensation reservoir is subjected to a natural
ageing process.
Possible consequences:
¯ Environmental impact
Protective measures:
¯ Make sure that the pipe does not show any signs of cracks or leakage.
¯ Do not commission a leaky pipe.
¯ If the pipe shows any signs of damage, replace it.
)Note!
With unfavourable combinations of a small ratio and a high input speed,
the use of a compensation reservoir may also be advisable in other
mounting positions.

¯ Draw the transmission elements onto the output shaft only by using the
centering thread.
¯ Align the gearbox shaft and transmission elements in an accurate fashion in order
to prevent tensioning.
¯ Mount belt pulleys, sprockets, or gear wheels as closely as possible to the gearbox
in order to keep the bending load of the shaft and the bearing forces at a
minimum level.
Gearbox with output flange
¯ Especially with regard to applications with an alternating load, Lenze
recommends...:
– the use of anaerobic adhesive between the gearbox flange and mounting area
in order to increase the friction fit;

When mounting a motor to an adapter, be sure to observe a fully circumferential
contact of the flange faces, thus ensuring that there is no aperture to the interior of the
adapter.
With higher degrees of protection or when there is a risk of dirt or humidity entering,
additionally seal the contact surfaces with a suitable sealant.

)Note!
Standard hubs, clamping hubs and clamping ring hubs are
maintenance−free.
We recommend carrying out a visual inspection of the star−shaped
spider/ring gear and the system parts within the inspection intervals.
)Note!
Tighten all screws to the coupling hubs and the motor fastening of
gearboxes in ATEX design with an intermediate strength screw retention.
Mounting the standard hub / clamping hub
1. Fit motor keyway (2).
– With some sizes a shorter featherkey is supplied, which is to be mounted. The
sizes concerned by this are shown on (¶ 29)
2. With a clamping hub:
– slightly loosen the clamping screw
– Fit coupling hub on the motor shaft using a center hole thread (do not mount by
hammer strokes, in order to avoid damage to the roller bearings in the motor).
– Observe mounting dimension m of the coupling hub (¶ 28).
3. Secure coupling hub against axial movement using the fixing screw or clamping
screw (1).
4. Lay spider in the coupling claw on the gearbox side.
– The mounting process can be facilitated by lightly greasing or oiling the ring
gear sides or the hub sides. For this purpose, only use mineral oil−based
lubricants without additives, silicone−based lubricants, or vaseline.
5. Align claws of the motor−side coupling hub with its counterpart.
6. Slowly push on motor, and bolt on to the gearbox flange.

sufficient. For this purpose, compare the drill depth from the flange face with the
distance of motor shaft front side to the motor flange.
3. Check whether the opening of the plastic ring to the keyway in the hollow shaft is
aligned correctly and correct it, if necessary.
4. Align the featherkey in the motor shaft to the keyway in the hollow shaft.
5. Position the motor shaft centrically to the hollow drive shaft and then insert it
into the hollow drive shaft carefully, only exerting little force, in order to avoid
damaging the ball bearings in the bell housing and the motor. By no means join
the parts by hammer strokes!

¯ Ensure pretensioning of the drive mechanism, preventing the gearbox
from falling into the drive mechanism when it is loosened from the
plug−in shaft.
¯ When removing the hollow shaft via the housing, impermissibly great
forces may be generated.
¯ Tensioning of the hollow shaft causes a bearing failure and damage of
the gearbox housing.
1. Undo axial gearbox locking in the hollow shaft.
2. Remove/extract the gearbox from the motor shaft using an appropriate auxiliary
tool (Fig. 5).

Loose drive components or drive components falling down may cause
injury to persons or damage to the machine. Secure the drive
components before disassembly.
1. Remove protective cap (1).
2. Loosen clamping screws (2) evenly one after the other each by ¼ revolution in
several passes. Do not unscrew clamping screws completely to prevent accidents!
3. Press off outer ring (see Fig. 8), if necessary. For this, loosen the outer ring using
the forcing threads and some clamping screws (number corresponding to the
forcing threads in the inner ring). For loosening the outer ring, screw in the screws
evenly to prevent canting. Press off the outer ring until loosened completely.
4. Remove the drive from the machine shaft.
(Stop!
Dismantle the shrink disc only for cleaning purposes. Afterwards, grease
bevel surfaces and screws using a solid lubricant with a friction factor of
m = 0.04.
¯ Suitable lubricants on molybdenum−disulphide lubricant (MoS2) basis are, e.g.:
– Molykote G Rapid (company Dow Corning)
– Molykote BR2 Plus (company Dow Corning)
– Molykombin UMFT1 (company Klüber Lubrication)
Usually, disassembly problems only occur if:
¯ the connection is spinning due to overload or a too low friction factor and fretting
corrosion has occurred,
¯ the shrink disc has been tightened too much leading to a plastic deformation of
components,
¯ the components are corroded.

Table of lubricants
7.3.2Table of lubricants
Lenze recommends the use of the following lubricants.
If you carry out an oil change, use the same type of oil as specified on the nameplate. The
oil changing intervals are reference values for normal ambient conditions and a
maximum oil temperature of 70 °C. Difficult operating conditions (e.g. high
temperatures, aggressive ambient media) require shorter intervals.

Changing the oil
(Stop!
¯ The gearbox should be lukewarm in order that the oil flows well but
there is no risk of scalding.
¯ Secure the drive system and machinery against unintended movement
or mains power−up.
1. Place receptacle under oil drain plug.
2. Remove breathing / oil filler plug.
3. Completely drain lubricant by removing the oil drain plug.
5. Fill in lubricant through filler hole (quantities see nameplate).
6. Screw in breathing / oil filler plug.
7. Dispose of waste oil according to the applicable regulations.
)Note!
Change from the CLP or CLP HC standard gearbox oil to the
food−compatible CLP xx xxx USDA H1 gearbox oil.
The oil drainage holes do not allow for complete draining of the gearbox
in all cases. Then a residual amount of oil remains in the gearbox. If a
change−over to a food−compatible gearbox oil is to be effected, the
gearbox must be rinsed thoroughly with the food−compatible gearbox oil.

Drain condensation
– the motor must be deenergised;
– the plugs (screws) must be removed.
(Stop!
To restore the enclosure, re−insert the plugs (screws) after condensate
drainage. If the condensation drain holes are not sealed again, the IP
enclosure of the motor will be reduced. For horinzontal motor shafts to
IP23 and for vertical motor shafts to IP20.
