MOTOX Gearbox for monorail conveyors - DS TECH

Technical description
2.1 General description
Cooling
CAUTION
Dust deposits prevent heat radiation and cause high housing temperatures.
The gearbox does not normally require additional cooling. The generously dimensioned
housing surface is sufficient for dissipating heat losses where there is free convection. If the
housing temperature exceeds a value of +80 °C, please contact Technical Support.
Flexible coupling
CAUTION
A coupling with a peripheral speed of up to 30 m/s at the outer diameter must be statically
balanced.
A coupling with a peripheral speed at the outer diameter of more than 30 m/s requires
dynamic balancing.
A flexible coupling is generally used for the gearbox input and output.
If a rigid coupling or other input or output elements are to be used that give rise to additional
radial and / or axial forces (e.g. gear wheels, belt pulleys), this must be contractually agreed.
Please refer to the relevant operating instructions for details of how to use the coupling.
Clutch for monorail conveyors
Actuation of the operating lever interrupts the force flow in the positive claw coupling on the
output shaft. The output shaft can then freely rotate while the motor is stopped or in no-load
operation.
Rating plate
The rating plate on the gearbox or geared motor is of coated aluminum foil. It is covered with
a special masking film which ensures permanent resistance to UV radiation and media of all
kinds, such as oils, greases, salt water and cleaning agents.
The adhesive and the material ensure firm adhesion and long-term legibility within the
operating temperature range from -40 °C to +155 °C.
The edges of the rating plate are paint-finished to match the color of the gearbox or motor to
which it is affixed.
In special cases, riveted or bolted metal plates are used.
