Product Description 2

2 Product Description
The bucket elevator drive consists of a three-stage helical bevel gear unit [2] with
auxiliary drive [1] that is coupled with a main driving motor (delivered separately).
The bucket elevator drive operates the bucket elevator, a vertical continuous elevator
transporting bulk material. At system standstill, a backstop [3] built onto the bucket
elevator gear unit prevents a reverse movement of the complete bucket elevator. The
slow movement of the bucket elevator during maintenance with switched-off main motor
is carried out by means of a directly mounted auxiliary drive. This feature allows the
system operator to determine possible wear of the chain, belt or bucket. A distinction is
made between maintenance operation with empty or filled buckets.

housings. The values are also based on standard equipment and lubrication of the gear
units as well as standard ambient conditions.

Noise All bucket elevator gear units fall below the permitted noise levels specified for gear units
in VDI guideline 2159.

Coating The standard coating of bucket elevator gear units is "blue/gray"/RAL 7031. Special
coatings are available upon request.

2.3 Mandatory supplementary equipment


Speed monitoring For safety reasons, the drive combination for bucket elevators must be equipped with
speed monitoring.

SEW-EURODRIVE offers a complete solution consisting of encoder and speed monitor


for this purpose.

The speed of the overrunning clutch is detected in a contactless manner via trigger cam
[1] and inductive encoder [2]. The speed monitor [3] compares the pulses with a preset
reference speed.The output relay trips (optionally NC contact or NO contact) when the
preset speed is exceeded (e.g. due to a malfunction of the overrunning clutch). This
way, overspeed at the auxiliary drive is prevented.

Additional project planning notes 3

Factor fV for The thermal limit rating PTH was established based on an installation in large rooms or
installation site halls.
The following values can be used without fan operation if there are air velocities > 4 ms-1
at the installation site:
• fV = 1.29 for MC3R..02..09
• fV = 1.0 for M3R..70..90

With fan operation, the air velocity is determined by means of the fan speed and is
already taken account in the PTH values in sections 3.7 and 3.8 "Thermal limit rating."
In this case, fv = 1.0.

Please consult SEW-EURODRIVE in case of deviating conditions.

Step 8: The thermal power PT of a gear unit is the power that can be transferred with the gear
Calculating unit without the oil temperature exceeding the calculated maximum value depending on
thermal power the lubricant used. To determine the thermal power PT of the gear unit, it is necessary
to determine the thermal limit rating PTH of the gear unit while taking the ambient
temperature into account (→ section "Thermal limit rating"). In addition, the altitude
factor f1 (→ table altitude factor f1), the factor for the input speed fn1 (→ table factor fn1)
and the factor for the installation site fV (→ table factor fV) are required.

P T = P TH × f 1 × f n1 × f V

PT = 45.6 kW x 0.95 x 1.0 x 1.29

Result:
PT = 43.32 kW

Higher thermal powers are possible if synthetic lubricants and special oil seals are used.
Please contact SEW-EURODRIVE in such cases.

Step 9: The operating power PK1 must not exceed the thermal power PT (PK1 ≤ PT). If PK1 > PT,
Checking thermal additional cooling (fan) is required.

Result:
34.54 kW ≤ 43.32 kW
No additional cooling is required in this case.

3 Auxiliary drives

3.9 Auxiliary drives


Bucket elevator gear units are generally equipped with an auxiliary drive. Auxiliary
drives are used in maintenance cases to lower the bucket elevator speed. These drives
consist of a helical bevel gearmotor that is mounted to the main gear unit via an
intermediate flange.
An overrunning clutch placed in the intermediate flange is supplied with oil from the main
gear unit. The helical bevel gearmotor has its own oil filling.

The customer must equip the drive combination with speed monitoring to prevent
overspeed at the auxiliary drive in case of a malfunction of the overrunning clutch.

3.10 Auxiliary drives for empty buckets MC3R..02..09


The assignment of auxiliary drive to main gear unit listed in the following table was
selected in such a way that a bucket elevator with empty buckets can be operated at low
speed in the same direction of rotation.

The cooling coil is a helical pipe with water flowing through it. The cooling coil is located
in the oil pan inside the gear unit. The customer must ensure a minimum flow volume as
specified in the order documents.

A cooling coil is generally used with splash lubrication


• in conjunction with a fan if the thermal power of the fan alone is not sufficient
• instead of the fan if a fan cannot be used due to the ambient conditions.

Data required for project planning:


• Cooling water input temperature
• Permitted temperature increase of the cooling water

7.7 Pressure lubrication M3R70..90


This section describes pressure lubrication for M3R70...90 gear units. (For pressure
lubrication of MC3R..02...09 gear units → consult SEW-EURODRIVE).
Pressure lubrication is used
• to ensure adequate lubrication of input-end gearing and bearings at certain
operating conditions (see section 4 "Selection tables." Marked with "*" means
"pressure lubrication required")
• when the gear unit must be cooled by an external oil/water or oil/air cooling system.
Consult SEW-EURODRIVE in this case.

When pressure lubrication is used, the oil level is low. Gearing and bearing not
submerged in the oil bath are lubricated through a shaft end pump or a motor pump.

For exact dimensions of the pressure lubricating unit, refer to the order-specific
dimension drawing.

Shaft end pump The maintenance-free RHP shaft end pump [1] is suited for operation in both directions
M3R 70...90 of rotation.

[1] [1]

For operation with variable input speed, it is essential to consult SEW-


EURODRIVE.

The standard scope of delivery includes


• RHP shaft end pump [1]
• instrumentation version "IP" comprising
– visual pressure gauge (0...10 bars)
– pressure switch
• piping and tube connections
