Bearing failures – identifying causes & avoiding failures

By combining the Siemens servomotor portfolio with SIMOGEAR geared motors, applications with the highest demands on precision, dynamics, compactness and weight can be served. The SIMOGEAR KS adapter is the flexible solution for connecting the various gearbox types with defined Siemens servomotors.

For the majority of applications, directly mounting the motor on the gear unit is the optimal solution when it comes to compactness and weight. However, as this is not possible in all cases, SIMOGEAR gear units can also be fitted with an input unit.

The SIMOTICS GP 1LE1 motors in SH63 and 71 for SIMOGEAR and MOTOX-N 2nd Life were released for sale on June 1, 2018.

In the non-electrical equipment for explosive atmospheres range, the previous EN 13463 -1, EN 13463-5, -6, and -8 standards have been replaced by the latest generation of EN 80079-36 and EN 80079-37 standards.

The oil level of SIMOGEAR gearboxes is normally checked by means of the oil level control screw. An oil sight glass can be optionally selected for visual monitoring. For cases in which geared motors are mounted at both the DE and NDE ends (see illustration below), a two-sided oil sight glass is required.
