8.3 Lubrication of the XLplus and VLplus heavy-duty bearing systems

Note

These recommendations are not a guarantee of the lubricant quality provided by your

supplier. All lubricant manufacturers are responsible for the quality of their own products.

The oil viscosity is decisive for the oil selection (ISO VG class). The viscosity is specified on

the rating plate of the gearbox. The viscosity class indicated applies for the contractually

agreed operating conditions.

In the case of different operating conditions, please contact Technical Support.

If, following agreement, the gearbox is filled at the factory with special lubricant for the

special applications referred to above, the lubricant is shown on the rating plate.

The oil quality must meet the gearbox lubricant requirements specified in the T 7300 table.

The Siemens warranty is otherwise null and void. We recommend the use of one of these

gearbox lubricants

requirements. It is possible that the recommended oils are removed or replaced by oils that

have been further developed at a later point in time. We recommend that you regularly check

as to whether the selected lubricating oil is still recommended by Siemens. Otherwise

change the product.

8.3

Lubrication of the XLplus and VLplus heavy-duty bearing systems

The output-side bearing is greased depending on the frame size. Initial greasing has already

been carried out.

In normal operating conditions and with low loads, the lubrication is sufficient for

approximately 25,000 to 30,000 operating hours.

For higher loads due to speed and / or temperature, schedule regreasing at shorter intervals.

Regreasing intervals

Note

The relubrication interval of the bearing depends on the temperature and the load

For temperatures above +70° C, the regreasing interval must be reduced by half for each

temperature increase of 15 K.

For moderate shock loading and vibration, the regreasing interval must be reduced by 20%.

For heavy loading, the regreasing interval must be reduced by half.

These gearbox oils are subject to constant testing and meet the specified
