MAXUM Concentric Reducer Vertical And Inclined Application
We are frequently asked at what angle of incline should the
vertical modification be considered. On the list price
modification page, we state “exceeding 10� of incline”. This
is conservative and would provide the lubrication required
at very slow output speeds where there would be minimum
splash generated. If the MAXUM reducer is operating at
moderate to high speed, this minimum guideline may be
increased. See Drawing C.

Another area where special lubrication needs to be
considered is “tilt mounting”. The input and output shafts
are horizontal but the reducer may be mounted in an A-2,
A-3 or A-4 position or at some angle in between. The
solution for this type of mounting is one of using the proper
oil level only (no modification needed). Drawing D
illustrates the use of a standpipe to meed oil level
requirements.
