RGM User Manual | 9 Maximum Thermal Ratings
9 Maximum Thermal Ratings
The harmonic gearing used in RGM is the most thermally sensitive component in the assembly.
It is
restricted to a maximum case temperature of 50°C.
Users are advised that when operating RGM in
ambient temperatures higher than the standard rated temperature of 22°C, de-rated torque/speed performance
should be expected and duty cycles should be adjusted lower than shown in Duty Cycle to prevent exceeding
50°C case temperature of the gearing. Otherwise, grease may be degraded and premature failure of the
gearing may occur. If RGM is used outside the recommended thermal rating of the gearing, RGM warranty
may be voided. RGM is equipped with an internal linear thermistor on the gearing case to assist customers
with proper thermal and duty cycle management, so that maximum performance and longest life of RGM can
be achieved.
