Change of mounting position

Observe the following information when operating the gearmotor in a mounting position other than the one indicated in the order:

  • Adjust the lubricant fill quantity to the changed mounting position.
  • Adjust the position of the breather valve.
  • When changing the mounting position to M4: Contact SEW‑EURODRIVE. Depending on the drive’s operating mode, an oil expansion tank might be necessary (see chapter Oil expansion tank).
  • For helical-bevel gearmotors: Contact SEW‑EURODRIVE if you want to change to mounting position M5 or M6.
  • For helical-worm gearmotors: Contact SEW‑EURODRIVE when changing to mounting position M2 or M3.
  • For helical gearmotors: Contact SEW‑EURODRIVE when changing to mounting position M2.
  • If the mounting position is changed to another mounting position with a larger oil fill volume, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends performing a new thermal check/project planning.
