Introduction

■
Overview
As illustrated by the diagrams below, FLENDER SIP planetary
gear units can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
Other arrangements are also possible on request. The basic
gear unit can be optimally adapted to customer requirements by
fitting different attachment parts like a gear housing base or
torque arm.
The mounting position describes the spatial orientation of the
planetary gear unit/geared motor. Depending on the selected
spatial position, it may be necessary to modify the drive unit.
This might involve different oil levels, for example, or use of an oil
expansion tank, special bearings, etc. These modifications are
taken into account automatically when the mounting position is
defined by the appropriate options.
The mounting position is described in three parts:
