Notes on connection/installation

NOTICE

Improper installation of the water cooling cartridge may result in damage to the gear unit.
Possible damage to property.
  • Using thread seal tape on the pipe threads increases the resistance between the connection parts as well as the risk of cracking in the casting parts of the water cooling cartridge. Do not tighten the threads so tightly.
  • For connecting the water cooling cartridge, use only piping and mounting parts of the same or compatible material.
  • Make sure the cooling water pressure does not exceed 10 bar.
  • In the event of frost or longer idle states, drain the cooling water from the cooling circuit. Use compressed air to remove any remaining water.
  • Check the water cooling cartridge for soiling and foreign objects in the pipe connection to ensure unobstructed flow of the media.
  • When connecting the piping system, avoid stress on the connection points. Support the pipes properly, if necessary.

The following measures are recommended by SEW-EURODRIVE to ensure proper functioning in different systems:

  • Install a safety valve in the cooling water supply pipe for protection against severe deviations in the flow rate or pressure.
  • Install a filter into the cooling water supply pipe, especially if the cooling water is obtained from sources other than the municipal water supply system.
  • Install an automatic throttle valve in the respective inlet to compensate for overpressure.
  • Filtering to 100 μm is recommended.
