at least every 5 years - Re-lubrication of the bearings in the gear unit 5.2
At least every 10 years - General overhaul 5.2

5.2 Service and maintenance work


Servicing and maintenance work must only be performed by qualified specialist
personnel.
Installation and maintenance work must only be performed when gear units are at a
standstill. The drive must be isolated and secured to prevent accidental start-up.

Visual inspection
The gear unit must be checked for leaks. In addition, the gear unit must be inspected for external
damage and cracks in the hoses, hose connections and rubber buffers. Have the gear unit
repaired in case of leaks, e.g. dripping gear oil or cooling water, damage or cracks. Please contact
the NORD service department.

Note!
Shaft sealing rings are rubbing seals and have sealing lips made from an elastomer
material. These sealing lips are lubricated with a special grease at the factory. This
reduces the wear due to their function and ensures a long service life. An oil film in the
region of the rubbing sealing lip is therefore normal and is not due to leakage.

5. Service and Maintenance


Check for running noises
If the gear unit produces unusual running noises and/or vibrations, this could indicate damage to
the gear unit In this case the gear should be shut down and a general overhaul carried out.

Check the oil level


Section 6.1 describes the versions and the corresponding oil level screws. With double gear
units, the oil level must be checked on both units. The pressure vent must be at the position
marked in Section 6.1.
The oil level does not need to be checked on gear units without oil level screw (see Section 6.1).
Gear unit types that are not supplied full of oil must be filled before the oil level is checked. (see
“Changing the oil”)

Checking the oil level:


1. The oil level may only be checked when the gear unit is at a standstill and has cooled
down. The gear unit must be secured to prevent accidental switch-on.
2. The oil level screw corresponding to the version must be screwed out. (See Section 6.1)

Note!
At the first oil level check a small amount of oil may escape, as the oil level may be below the
lower edge of the oil level hole.

3. Gear units with oil level screw: The maximum oil level is the lower edge of the oil level hole.
The minimum oil level is 4 mm below the oil level hole. If the oil level is too low, this must be
corrected using the correct type of oil. An oil level glass is available instead of the oil level
screw
4. Gear units with an oil level vessel: The oil level must be checked in the oil level vessel with
the aid of the dipstick plug (thread G1 1/4). The oil level must be between the upper and
lower mark when the dipstick is completely screwed in (see Fig. 5-2). The oil level must be
corrected with the correct type of oil if necessary. These gearboxes may only be operated in
the configuration stated in Section 6.1.
5. The oil level screw or the cap screw with dipstick and all other loosened screws must be
correctly re-tightened.

5. Service and Maintenance


Regreasing
Some gear unit designs (free drive shaft, Option W, agitator designs VL2 and VL3) are equipped
with a regreasing device.
For agitator versions VL2 and VL3, the vent screw located opposite to the grease nipple must be
unscrewed before regreasing. Grease should be injected until a quantity of 20-25g escapes from
the vent hole. After this, the vent plug must be reinserted and tightened.
For Option W and some IEC adapters, the outer roller bearing must be regreased with approx.
20-25g of grease via the grease nipple provided
Recommended grease: Petamo GHY 133N (see Section 6.4: Klüber Lubrication).

Replacing the automatic lubricant dispenser


Screw-off the cartridge case cover (2), (see Fig. 4-1). The lubrication dispenser (5) is screwed
out and replaced with a new component (Part No. 283 0100). Then activate (see Chapter 4.2)!

Changing the oil


The figures in Section 6.1 show the oil drain screw, the oil level screw and the pressure vent
screw for various designs.
Sequence:
1. Place the drip tray below the oil drain screw or the oil drain cock
2. Completely remove oil level screw, screwed sealing plug with dipstick if an oil level tank
is being used and oil drain screw.

Danger!

Warning: Hot oil!

3. Drain all the oil from the gear unit.


4. If the screw lock coating of the oil drain screw or oil level screw is damaged in the
thread, a new oil level screw must be used or the thread cleaned and coated with
securing lubricant, e.g. Loctite 242, Loxeal 54-03 prior to inserting. Check the sealing
ring for damage. Replace with a new sealing ring in case of damage.
5. Support the seal ring, insert the oil drain screw into the hole and tighten to the correct
torque! (See Section 6.2 for torque values)
6. Using a suitable filling device, refill with oil of the same type through the oil level hole
until oil emerges from the oil level hole. (The oil can also be filled through the pressure
vent screw or a sealing plug located higher than the oil level). If an oil level vessel is
used, fill the oil through the upper inlet (thread G1¼) until the oil level is set as described
in Section 5.2.
7. Wait at least 15 minutes, or at least 30 minutes if an oil level tank is used, and then
check the oil level. Proceed as described in Section 5.2.

Note!
The oil does not need to be changed on gear units without oil level screw (see Section 6.1).
These gear units are lubricated for life.
Standard helical gear units have no oil level screw. Here, the oil is topped up through the
pressure vent bolt using the quantities listed in the table in Section 6.5.

5. Service and Maintenance


Cleaning or replacing the vent plug
Unscrew the vent screw and thoroughly clean it (e.g. with compressed air) and fit the vent screw
in the same place, If necessary, use a new vent screw with a new sealing ring.

Replacing the shaft sealing ring


Shaft sealing rings are rubbing seals made from an elastomer material and according to their
principle are subject to natural wear. The wearing life of shaft sealing rings depends on many
factors and cannot be calculated in advance. Once the shaft sealing ring has reached the end of
its service life, the oil film in the region of the sealing lip increases and a measurable leakage
with dripping oil occurs. The shaft sealing ring must then be replaced. To reduce the risk of
leaks due to worn shaft sealing rings we recommend that as a precaution, the shaft sealing rings
are replaced after every 25,000 operating hours or every 5 years. The space between the
sealing lip and the protective lip must be filled approximately 50% with grease on fitting
(recommended grease: PETAMO GHY 133N). Take care that after fitting, the new shaft sealing
ring does not run in the old wear track.

Re-lubricating bearings

For bearings which are not oil-lubricated and whose holes are completely above the oil level,
replace the roller bearing grease (recommended grease: PETAMO GHY 133N). Please contact
the NORD service department.

General overhaul
The gear units must be completely dismantled The following work must be carried out:
 Clean all gear unit components
 Examine all gear unit components for damage
 All damaged components must be replaced
 All roller bearings must be replaced
 Replace back stops if fitted
 Replace all seals, radial seals and Nilos rings
 Replace plastic and elastomer components of the motor coupling
The general overhaul must be carried out by qualified personnel in a specialist workshop with
appropriate equipment in observance of national regulations and laws. We recommend that the
general overhaul is carried out by the NORD service department.
