Before filling the planetary gearbox with lubricating oil, install the components
you need for the circulating oil lubrication.
Use the "Oil inlet/outlet to/from cooler" connections on the planetary gearbox.
Observe the information in chapter 7.7 "Connecting the circulating oil lubrication
or external oil cooling".
This chapter describes how to fill the planetary gearbox with lubricating oil.
In order to fill the planetary gearbox with lubricating oil, you need the following
fundamental information:
Refer to the dimensioned drawing for:
• Position of the oil filler opening
• Position of the oil level control system
• Position of the oil drain opening
Refer to the selection list – industrial gear oils for:
Approved lubricating oils
–
Refer to the technical data for
Lubricating oil viscosity and oil quantity
–
Always record the used oil designation.
8.1.2 Filling the planetary gearbox with lubricating oil
Fill the ROTATRAC eGFT 8000 planetary gearbox only with lubricating oil which has
been approved for this planetary gearbox according to the selection list – industrial
