Information
- Use an oil from the current lubricant table:
- https://www.sew-eurodrive.de/products/gear_units/standard_gear_units/accessories_and_options/lubricants/lubricants.html
- Fill the oil only when the gear unit is in the final mounting position.
- Make sure the oil is fluid when filling it into the gear unit. The flowability can be improved through prior heating, e.g. by using an oil heater. SEW-EURODRIVE recommends an oil temperature of 20 °C to 40 °C for filling in oil.
- Fill the gear unit with the oil grade specified on the nameplate. The oil quantity specified on the nameplate is an approximate quantity. The markings [1] and [2] on the oil dipstick or oil level glass are the decisive indicators of the correct oil quantity to be filled in. Observe the information in chapter Checking the oil level.
- When additional attachments, e.g. an oil supply system, are mounted to the gear unit, the oil fill quantity is higher. In this case, observe the respective "Oil Cooling System" operating instructions from SEW‑EURODRIVE. Refer to the overall documentation for the gear unit.
- For gear units with external supply pipes, e.g. oil cooling systems, establish the connections before filling the oil.
- Use a clean filling aid without zinc coating (plastic funnel or similar).
