For your safety

Version: 2.2 ─── 13AG3210

Read this chapter containing general safety information. The chap-

ters in these operating instructions also contain warning notices. Al-

ways observe the safety instructions for your own safety, the safety

of other persons and the safety of the product.

When working with control and automation products, many dangers

can result from careless or incorrect use. Work particularly thor-

oughly, not under time pressure and responsibly towards other peo-

ple.

2.1General safety instruc-

tions

This chapter provides you with instructions on safety when handling

the gear units. They cannot run independently. The gear units are

therefore regarded as incomplete machines. They must be installed

in a machine or plant by the machine manufacturer. The documen-

tation created by the machine manufacturer must be read.

2.1.1Before operation

Keep the surroundings clean

Keep your workplace and the surrounding area clean. Ensure safe

working.

Secure the control cabinet

When working on machines, secure the control cabinet against be-

ing switched on again.

Do not use defective gear units

Adhere to the specifications from the technical data for storage,

transport and operation. Do not use defective gear units.

Remove feather key

Remove the existing feather key if the planetary gear unit is oper-

ated without attachments on the input or output side.

Observe tightening torques

Mount and repeatedly check connections and components, comply-

ing with the prescribed tightening torques.

Earth electrical components or modules correctly

Touch electrical components or assemblies only when wearing ESD

protective clothing. Move only on a conductive floor.

Only use original packaging for further processing

When shipping, transporting, storing and packing, use the original

packaging or conductive materials.

For your safety

14 ─── Version: 2.2AG3210

2.1.2During operation

Do not work on live electrical components

Do not open any gear unit or other components when live. Ensure

that the protective conductor is connected properly. Never loosen

electrical connections when live. Only work on the gear unit when

the voltage on the electrically conducting components has fallen be-

low 50 V. Disconnect all components from the mains and secure

them against being switched on again.

Do not touch hot surfaces

Check the cooling of the surfaces with a thermometer. Do not touch

the components during and after operation. Allow the components to

cool down for at least 15minutes after switching off.

Avoid overheating

Operate the components according to the technical specifications.

Please refer to chapter: "Technical data". Provide for sufficient cool-

ing. Switch the components off immediately if the temperature is too

high.

Do not touch any moving or rotating components

Do not touch any moving or rotating parts during operation. Fasten

all parts or components on the machine or plant.

2.1.3After operation

De-energize and switch off components before working on

them

Check the functionality of all safety-relevant devices. Carry out a

voltage test. Secure the working environment and the control cabi-

net against being switched on again. See chapter: Decommissioning

No direct skin contact with solvents or lubricants

In case of improper use, the solvents or lubricants used can lead to

skin irritations. Therefore, avoid direct skin contact.

3.3Product characteristics

Low-backlash planetary gear unit

Due to the manufacturing-related and application-related freedom of

movement, you have the possibility to install the planetary gear unit

in a variety of ways in the machine or plant. The planetary gear unit

can be used in any installation position. The gear units are delivered

in the "M" variant for motor attachment.

Motor centering via the mounted clamping hub

Due to centering via the mounted clamping hub the motor cannot be

radially stressed. The planetary gear unit can be adapted to various

motor types with the adapter flange and a spacer sleeve. The bear-

ing of the output shaft is designed for high breakdown torques and

high axial forces.

Maintenance-free ball bearings

Due to manufacturing in accordance with the quality standard ISO

9001, the gear units are of a high standard. The ball bearings are

lifetime-lubricated and maintenance-free.

3.4Ordering options

Order options are defined by the type key and must be ordered sep-

arately. The listed components cannot be retrofitted.

3.4.1Feather key

3.4.1

A feather key transmits torque to an output element.

The thermal protection contact incorporated in the motor windings

must be analyzed and monitored on a regular basis.

The gear unit is intended for attachment to motors under the follow-

ing conditions:

• motors of the design B5

• At least a concentricity tolerance or axial run-out tolerance ac-

cording to EN 50347

• A cylindrical shaft end with the tolerance class h6 to k6

Read the entire drive system documentation:

• This translation of the original instructions

• Original operating instructions for the motors

• Complete machine documentation provided by the machine

manufacturer

3.5.1Improper use

Any use exceeding the permissible values specified in the Technical

data is considered improper and therefore prohibited.

The planetary gear units from the AG3210 series are not suitable for

use in the following areas:

• ATEX zones without suitable housing

• Areas with aggressive environments, for example aggressive

gases or chemicals
