 Additional project planning notes 3

Factor fV for The thermal limit rating PTH was established based on an installation in large rooms or
installation site halls.
The following values can be used without fan operation if there are air velocities > 4 ms-1
at the installation site:
• fV = 1.29 for MC3R..02..09
• fV = 1.0 for M3R..70..90

With fan operation, the air velocity is determined by means of the fan speed and is
already taken account in the PTH values in sections 3.7 and 3.8 "Thermal limit rating."
In this case, fv = 1.0.

Please consult SEW-EURODRIVE in case of deviating conditions.

Result:
i = 42.86 1/min
This value is used to specify the rated gear ratio iN = 45 (→ section 4).

Step 3: The required rated power of the gear unit PN1 is calculated using operating power PK1

section 4).
The selection of the gear unit provides the following technical data:
• Rated power PN1 = 55.8 kW
• Rated gear ratio iN = 45 → exact gear ratio iex = 44.302
• Rated torque of the gear unit MN2 = 15 kNm

Step 8: The thermal power PT of a gear unit is the power that can be transferred with the gear
Calculating unit without the oil temperature exceeding the calculated maximum value depending on
thermal power the lubricant used. To determine the thermal power PT of the gear unit, it is necessary
to determine the thermal limit rating PTH of the gear unit while taking the ambient
temperature into account (→ section "Thermal limit rating"). In addition, the altitude
factor f1 (→ table altitude factor f1), the factor for the input speed fn1 (→ table factor fn1)
and the factor for the installation site fV (→ table factor fV) are required.

P T = P TH × f 1 × f n1 × f V

PT = 45.6 kW x 0.95 x 1.0 x 1.29

Result:
PT = 43.32 kW

Higher thermal powers are possible if synthetic lubricants and special oil seals are used.
Please contact SEW-EURODRIVE in such cases.

Step 9: The operating power PK1 must not exceed the thermal power PT (PK1 ≤ PT). If PK1 > PT,
Checking thermal additional cooling (fan) is required.

3 Auxiliary drives

3.9 Auxiliary drives

Bucket elevator gear units are generally equipped with an auxiliary drive. Auxiliary
drives are used in maintenance cases to lower the bucket elevator speed. These drives
consist of a helical bevel gearmotor that is mounted to the main gear unit via an
intermediate flange.
An overrunning clutch placed in the intermediate flange is supplied with oil from the main
gear unit. The helical bevel gearmotor has its own oil filling.

The customer must equip the drive combination with speed monitoring to prevent
overspeed at the auxiliary drive in case of a malfunction of the overrunning clutch.
