4 Project Planning for Drives4.1 Additional documentation
In addition to the information in this catalog, SEW-EURODRIVE offers extensivedocumentation covering the entire topic of electrical drive engineering. This is primarilydocumentation from the "Drive Engineering Practical Implementation" series. You canorder the current documentation from SEW-EURODRIVE. The documentation can alsobe downloaded in PDF format from the SEW homepage (http://www.sew-eurodrive.de).
Drive Engineer-ing Practical Implementation
The publication "Drive Engineering Practical Implementation Drive Arrangements withSEW Gear Units" features extensive information on characteristics, different featuresand application areas of SEW drives. A comprehensive collection and assignment of themost important formulae for drive calculation as well as detailed examples for the mostfrequently used applications make this documentation an important tool for projectplanning and an essential addition to SEW-EURODRIVE product catalogs.

4.2.5 Step 5: Selecting the gear unit size MN2The selection of the gear unit size is based on the gear unit nominal torque MN2 accord-ing to the speed/power overview tables beginning on page 89 and is divided into tworanges:• Input speed n1 = 1500 min-1
• Input speed n1 = 1800 min-1
The selection table guide on the foldout page of the catalog can be used to quickly locatethe speed/power overview table and to make a preliminary selection of the gear unitsize.If the input speed n1 < 1500 min-1, the value for 1500 min-1 can be used for MN2.For input speeds n1 > 1800 min-1, please contact SEW-EURODRIVE.

4.2.8 Step 8: Calculating the thermal rating PTThe thermal rating PT of a gear unit is the power that a gear unit can transmit withoutexceeding a certain oil temperature. The thermal rating depends on the followingfactors:• Ambient temperature• Air circulation and sunlight exposure at the installation site• Installation altitude• Heat conduction to the foundation at the installation site• Mechanical utilization of the gear unit• Type of gear unit, size and gear ratio • Type of gear unit external cooling• Type of gear unit lubrication• Type of lubricant• Cyclic duration factor
For the following ambient conditions, the thermal rating can be directly read from theselection tables:• Ambient temperature 20 °C or 40 °C (the thermal rating can be interpolated for
ambient temperatures of 30 °C).• Installation in a large hall • Natural cooling or cooling with
– Fan– Integrated cooler (water cooling cover or water cooling cartridge)– Combination of fan with integrated cooler– Circulation cooling with oil-water cooler
• Foundation as steel support structure• Installation altitude ≤ 1000 m above sea level• Horizontal mounting position (M1)• Splash lubrication
PT = PTH f1
Please contact SEW-EURODRIVE in case of other ambient conditions.
It is of fundamental importance that sufficient protection from direct sunlight beprovided when installed outdoors.
PTH = Nominal thermal rating of the gear unit. The values in the selection tables in sections 10 + 11 depend on ambient temperature and the type of cooling.

4.2.10 Step 10: Checking the external additional forces:
Dependencies The permitted forces on the shaft depend on the following factors:• Gear unit service factor• Required bearing service life• Direction of the axial force (from or towards gear unit)• Application angle of the radial force (rotating or at a specific position)• Application angle of the radial force in relation to the shaft shoulder• Relation of axial to radial force and vice versa.

Determining overhung force
An important factor for determining the resulting overhung force is the type of transmis-sion element mounted to the shaft end. The following transmission element factors fZmust be considered for various transmission elements.
The overhung force load exerted on the motor or gear unit shaft is then calculated asfollows:

Step 1: Filling out the drive selection sheet
Step 2: Calculating the basic data
Constant operating torque MK2:
Calculate the gear unit reduction ratio using the following formula:
This value is used to specify the nominal gear ratio inominal = 45.
Step 3: Selection of the application factors

Step 4: Calculation of the required gear unit nominal torque
The required gear unit nominal torque MN2:
MN2 ≥ MK2 × FS [Nm] = 36.8 kNm x 1.5 = 55.2 kNm
Step 5: Selecting the gear unit size
Select a gear unit of the next-larger torque class using the foldout pageSee selection table page 148.• Gear unit type X3KA180 /B• Nominal gear ratio inominal = 45 exact gear ratio iex = 43.6 • Nominal gear unit torque MN2 = 58 kNm
Step 6: Calculating the required motor power
Required motor power:
Select a motor of the next-larger power class: PM = 160 kW

Step 7: Checking the peak load conditions
Permitted peak load torque MK2 per:
Calculating the output torque based on the motor power
Calculating the peak load M k2 max:M K2 max = Ma x Fstart = 41.7 kNm x 1.6 = 66.7 kNm
The peak operating torque MK2 max must not exceed the permitted peak output torqueMK2 zulMK2 max ≤ MK2 zul
66.7 kNm ≤ 116 kNm
This means you may use the selected gear unit size.
Step 8: Calculating the thermal rating
PT = PTH x f1 = 80 kW x 0.95 = 76 kWf1 = 0.95 → H = 1200 m

Step 9: Checking the thermal rating and selecting the gear unit cooling
The operating power PK1 may never exceed the thermal rating PT (PK1 ≤ PT). Additionalcooling is required if PK1 > PT141.4 kW > 76 kW Thermal rating at 40 °C is not sufficient without additional cooling
With one fan:PT= PTH x f1 = 171 kW x 0.95 = 162.5 kW141.4 kW < 162.5 kW Thermal rating at 40 °C with one fan sufficient
Step 10: Checking the external additional forces
There are no external additional forces
Schritt 11: Selecting the optional equipment
• Dusty environment → Taconite seals on the drive and output shafts (see section"Sealing systems" 2.9).
Step 12: Summary of all the technical information
• Gear unit type: X3KA180 /B• Gear ratio iex = 43.6• Nominal gear unit torque MN2 = 58 kNm• Motor: PM = 160 kW• Taconite seals on the drive and output shafts• Fan on the input shaft
