5 Mounting Positions and Important Order Information

5.1 General information on mounting positions
Mounting position designation
SEW-EURODRIVE differentiates between six mounting positions M1 ... M6 for gear units and gearmotors.
The following figure shows the position of the gear unit in mounting positions M1 ... M6.

5.2 Important order information 1

For all gearmo- The following order information is required for R, F, K and S gearmotors in addition to
tors the mounting position to exactly determine the design of the drive. This information is 2
also required for Spiroplan® (W) gearmotors that do not depend on a particular mounting
position.

Position of motor The the position of the motor terminal box has so far been specified indicated with 0°, 6
terminal box and 90°, 180° or 270° as viewed onto the fan guard = B-end (→ Figure 10). A change in the
cable entry product standard EN 60034 specifies that the following designations will have to be used
for terminal box positions in the future: 7
• As viewed onto the output shaft = A-end
• Designation as R (right), B (bottom), L (left) and T (top)
8
This new designation applies to foot-mounted motors without a gear unit in mounting po-
sition B3 (= M1). The previous designation is retained for gearmotors. Figure 10 shows 59
both designations. Where the mounting position of the motor changes, R, B, L and T are
rotated accordingly. In motor mounting position B8 (= M3), T is at the bottom. 10
The position of the cable entry can be selected as well. The positions are "X" (= standard
position), "1", "2" or "3" (→ Figure 10). 11

Unless indicated otherwise, you will receive the terminal box type 0° (R) with "X" cable
entry. We recommend selecting cable entry "2" with mounting position M3. 17

• When the terminal box is in the 90° (B) position, check to see if the gearmotor has 18
to be supported.
• Only cable entries "X" and "2" are possible for DT56 and DR63 motors. Exception: 19
Cable entry "3" is also possible for DR63 with IS plug connector.
• The following cable entries are possible in the DT71..BMG motor with gear unit 20
flange diameters 160 mm and 200 mm:
Terminal box position 0° (R) 90° (B) 180° (L) 270° (T) 21
Possible cable entries "X", "3" "X", "1", "3" "1", "2" "X", "1", "3"

Direction of rota- If the drive has a backstop RS, it will be necessary to indicate the direction of rotation
tion of the drive for the drive. The following definition applies:
with a backstop
Clockwise (CW) = Rotating clockwise
Looking onto the output shaft:
Counterclockwise (CCW)= Rotating counterclockwise

CCW CW CCW CW

Figure 11: Direction of rotation of output
In right-angle gear units, it is also necessary to indicate if the direction of rotation is given
looking onto the A or B end.

Position of the out- In right-angle gear units, it is also necessary to indicate the position of the output shaft
put shaft and the and the output flange:
output flange • A or B or AB (→ Figure 12)

Position of the out- In shaft mounted right-angle gear units with a shrink disk, it is also necessary to indicate 1
put end in right- whether the A or B end is the output end. As part of the rearrangement processFigure
angle gear units 13 , the A end is the output end. The shrink disk is located opposite the output end.

In shaft mounted right-angle gear units, the "output end" is equivalent to the "shaft posi-
tion" of right-angle gear units with solid shaft.

Change in mount- Make sure to read the following information when you operate the gearmotor in a mount- 20
ing position ing position other than the one indicated in the order:
• Adjust lubricant fill quantity to match the new mounting position 21
• Adjust position of breather valve
• For helical-bevel gearmotors: Contact the SEW-EURODRIVE customer service prior 22
to changing to mounting position M5 or M6 and when changing from M5 to M6 or vice
versa.
• For helical-worm gearmotors: Contact the SEW-EURODRIVE customer service
when changing to mounting position M2.

5.3 Key to the mounting position sheets

Spiroplan® gearmotors do not depend on any particular mounting position. However,
mounting positions M1 to M6 are also shown for Spiroplan® gearmotors to assist you in
working with this documentation.
Important: Spiroplan® gearmotors cannot be equipped with breather valves, oil level
plugs or drain plugs.

Symbols used The following table shows the symbols used in the mounting position sheets and their
meaning:

• For shaft mounted gear units: The shaft with dashed lines represents the customer
shaft. The output end (Ⳏ shaft position) is always shown on the A end.
