2.6 Storage

Store the gearhead in horizontal position and dry surroundings at a temperature of 0 °C to +40 °C

in the original packaging. Store the gearhead for a maximum of 2 years.

For storage logistics, we recommend the "first in – first out" method.

2.7 Checking the tightening torques

Check the tightening torque of the fastening screws on the gearhead housing.

For LPB+–gearheads, also check the fastening screws on the toothed belt pulley.

Check the tightening torque of the threaded pin on the motor mounting.

The prescribed tightening torque can be found in 3 "Technical data sheets" in this manual.

2.8 Maintenance schedule

2.9 Malfunctions

Unusual operating behavior (noise, heat, vibration) can be an indication of faulty assembly,

improper dimensioning, or technical defects.

Do not put the gearhead back into operation until the cause of the malfunction has been

rectified.

Solvents and lubricants can pollute soil and water.

Use and dispose of cleaning solvents as well as lubricants appropriately.

3 Technical data sheets

Be informed of the general safety instructions before beginning work. (see Chapter 2.5

"General safety instructions").

The gearhead can be used in any mounting position.

If your application has to meet special safety requirements (e.g. vertical axes, tensioned

drives), we recommend using exclusively our alpheno®, RP+, TP+, TP+HIGH TORQUE

products or contact WITTENSTEIN alpha for advice.

3.1 Transport of gearheads up to and including size LP+/LPB+155

No special transport mode is prescribed for transporting the gearhead.

3.2 Preparations

Check the fitting surfaces additionally for damage and impurities.

Ensure that the bushing included in the delivery may be slid on the motor shaft with a tight

sliding fit.

Fault Possible cause Solution

Loss of lubricant Lubricant quantity too high. Wipe off discharged lubricant and

continue to watch the gearhead.

Lubricant discharge should stop after a

short time.

Seals not tight. Consult our Customer Service

department.

Tbl-3: Malfunctions

Pressurized air can damage the gearhead seals.

Do not use pressurized air to clean the gearhead.

Directly sprayed cleaning agents can alter the frictional values of the

clamping hub.

Only spray cleaning agents onto a cloth for wiping off the clamping hub.

In rare situations, for a gearhead with grease lubrication (see

identification plate), a leak can occur at the drive (seeping).

To avoid seeping, we recommend that between the following surfaces:

- Adapter plate and drive housing (gearhead) as well as

- Adapter plate and motor

be sealed with a surface sealing adhesive (e.g. Loctite®573 or 574).

For more information, please contact our Customer Service department.

Clean/De-grease the following components with a

clean and lint-free cloth and grease-dissolving,

non-aggressive detergent:

- All fitting surfaces to neighboring components

-Centering

- The motor shaft

- the inner diameter of the plug receptacle

- The bushing inside and out

- the toothed belt pulley (only applies to LPB+)
