Definition
The mounting position defines the spatial orientation of the gear unit housing and is designated M1..M6. The mounting positions apply to planetary gear units with solid shafts
and hollows shafts.
For mounting position M2, an oil expansion tank is necessary. Mounting position M4 requires a rising pipe. For dimensions, refer to the dimension sheets in sections 10.2 and
11.2.

Pivoted mounting positions and variable mounting positions
Mounting positions differing from standard mounting positions are referred to as pivoted
or variable mounting positions.
Gear units with pivoted mounting position have a fixed mounting position that differs
from the standard.
Gear units with variable mounting position can change the mounting position variably
within the specified range.

The designation of pivoted and variable mounting positions is set up as follows:
M1 - M2/20°/V

[2]

F = Fixed final position; V = Variable final position

Mounting Positions
Mounting position sheets
All final positions have to be specified if the mounting position of the gear unit deviates
from standard mounting positions in several directions. Combinations of fixed and variable final positions are possible.
Example of a gear unit that based on M1 is tilted by ±20° around the drive shaft during
operation and is mounted in a fixed 30° angle around the longitudinal axis:
M1 - M2/20°/V - M4/20°/V - M5/30°/F
TIP
Pivoted and variable mounting positions may involve restrictions concerning accessories and technical data. Also, delivery times might be longer. Consult SEWEURODRIVE.
