Example

The gear unit is operated in variable pivoted mounting position M1 towards M6 by 9° and M1 towards M5 by 12°.

Step 1:

The largest pivoting angle determines the positive pivoting direction (12° > 9°). In this example, this is 12° towards M5.

12° → from M1 towards M5, pivoted by +12°

9° → from M1 towards M5, pivoted by -9°

This example results in the following type designation:

The variable pivoted mounting position is shown on the nameplate.

Step 2:

With variable pivoted mounting positions, the customer must specify the pivoting angle in which the oil level is checked.

An additional nameplate is used to clearly indicate the oil check angle. This nameplate indicates the mounting position for checking the oil level.
