Warranty
NOTE: Service and repair under warranty should be
performed only by an ABB Motors and Mechanical Inc.
Authorized Service Shop. Contact ABB Motors and
Mechanical Inc. Product Support for Assistance.
The Dodge Quantis UK RHB is warranted under the ABB
Motors and Mechanical Inc. “Standard Terms and Conditions
of Sale”. Warranty claims must be submitted to ABB Motors
and Mechanical Inc. within one year from the date of installation
or within three years from the date of manufacture, whichever
comes first. The warranty does not extend to failures
induced by misuse, improper storage or handling, abuse, or
misapplication.
Lubrication
The Dodge Quantis UK RHB Gear Reducer is factory filled with
ISO 460 EP type food grade mineral oil to the correct oil level
for the specified mounting position. Changes in the mounting
position will require relocation of the oil level and vent plugs.
Oil may have to be added or drained to get to the correct oil
level in the new mounting position. See the Mounting Position
Diagrams on Page 4 for the correct plug locations for various
mounting positions of the Quantis UK RHB unit. The oil level
should be checked before startup and frequently thereafter,
preferably with the unit at operating temperature.
The Dodge Quantis UK RHB gearbox is factory filled with
lubricant. The factory fill lubricant is suitable for use at all
output speeds and in ambient temperatures from +45°F to
+105°F (-1°C to +41°C). No initial oil change after break in is
needed. The initial factory oil fill is good for up to 10000 hours
or 3 years of service, whichever comes first, in normal industrial
environments.
Normal operating conditions are defined as steady loads not
exceeding normal ratings and running conditions as defined
in the Dodge Quantis catalog. Oil quantity and levels should
be checked at frequent intervals, depending on usage. Oil
changes are required after 10000 operating hours, or three
years whichever comes first. The period can be extended to
20000 operating hours, or six years, if a synthetic lubricant is
used. The lubricant should be changed more frequently if the
unit is operating in a hostile environment. For extremely hot,
wet, or dirty conditions consult Application Engineering at 864-
284-5700. In those mountings that require grease lubrication for
specific bearings, relubricate the affected bearings every year,
or every 2000 operating hours whichever comes first. Use a
grease with a lithium complex thickener and ISO 220 viscosity
mineral oil base lubricant. Use 15 pumps of grease for the first
re-greasing and 5 pumps of grease for subsequent re-greasing.
DODGE QUANTIS ULTRA KLEEN RHB Reducers are shipped
with fill and drain plugs in place. Approximate oil volumes
for each QUANTIS ULTRA KLEEN RHB unit are listed in the
following tables on page 3 in pints and liters. The oil volumes
are approximate and should not be used to determine correct
oil level. For correct oil filling procedures that will insure proper
oil level, see page 4.
NOTE: Do not mix oils from different manufacturers. If a
change to another type or brand of oil is made, the existing
lubricant should be drained and the gearcase flushed with
a small quantity of the new lubricant before refilling with
the new lubricant. This is necessary to avoid possible
incompatibility problems between the two lubricants.
The list below gives approved alternative lubricants. This
is not an exclusive list. Equivalent lubricants from other
manufacturers may be used.
All reducers are factory filled according to the mounting
position indicated on the order. If the mounting position is
changed from the ordered mounting position, the oil level must
be changed. The oil volumes shown in the mounting position
charts are approximate. The correct oil level is determined by
the oil level hole in the housing except for size 38 reducers. If
the reducer is ordered with the standard mineral oil and the oil
is later changed to synthetic oil, it is recommended the shaft
seals be changed to Viton (FKM) material.
UK RHB is furnished with oil level, drain, and fill plugs except for
the size 38, which only has two fill plugs. All RHB Ultra Kleen 38
and 48 units are sealed and do not require a breather.
Continued operation in cold ambient conditions requires
special modifications. Contact ABB Motors and Mechanical Inc.
Gearing Application Engineering, Greenville, SC for application
assistance (864-284-5700).
The density of the standard factory fill oil is 0.92 lbs/pint (1.94
lbs/liter).
