Exterior corrosion protection

In general, the following measures are used for external preservation:

• Anti-corrosion agent is applied to bare, non-painted functional surfaces of shafts, flanges, mounting and foot surfaces of the housing. The anti-corrosion agent must be removed with a suitable solvent that does not damage the oil seal.
• Small spare parts and loose pieces, such as bolts, nuts, etc., are packed in corrosion protection plastic bags (VCI corrosion protection bags).
• Tapped holes and blind holes are sealed with plastic plugs.

• If the gear unit is stored longer than 6 months, regularly check the protective coating of unpainted areas as well as the paint coating. Areas with protective coating and/or paint that has been damaged may have to be repainted.
