1. Short description
The ATLANTA TS-standard screw-jack gearboxes (series 61 3x xxx und 61 4x xxx) are used for the conver-
sion of rotary motions into linear motions. They are mainly driven by three-phase motors. Manual operation is
also possible. After consultation with ATLANTA other motors may be permissible as special version, e.g.
servomotors.
The gear units are available with non-rotating spindle or rotating spindle. As standard version they are
equipped with trapezoidal-thread spindle and nut. The light-metal housing ensures optimal heat dissipation.
The gear units are delivered with grease filling, test-run, tested for tightness, and are consequently ready for
operation.
The initial grease filling of the spindles is sufficient for approx. 10 strokes.
1.1. Marking

When used in potentially explosive areas the gear unit must show the corresponding marking
on an extra label. Only then it may be used in this specific area.
Special attention should be paid to the category listed there.
Example of an ATEX nameplate:
2. Proper use :
When operated in areas with explosion hazard the instructions identified by the symbol are
to be observed.
The ATLANTA screw-jack gearboxes may only be used for the conversion of rotary motions
into linear motions in mechanical engineering applications under atmospheric pressure condi-
tions.
The permissible input speed and output torque must not be exceeded. The layout instructions
according to the ATLANTA catalogue have to be observed.
The gear unit may be operated only in rooms with normal ambient pressure. The gear unit
must not be operated outdoors or at increased ambient pressure, and also not under water or
other liquids.
The gear unit may be operated only at ambient temperatures between -10 °C and +40 °C.
Other temperatures and working conditions are possible with special designs and are subject
to the approval by ATLANTA:
The gear unit is designed for intermittent operation (S3 acc. to DIN EN 60034-1). The duty
cycles mentioned in the catalogue must not be exceeded.
Continuous operation (S1 acc. to DIN EN 60034-1) is not permissible without written approval by
ATLANTA.
The gear unit must not be used in combination with combustion engines –danger of overheat-
ing, inadmissible shock loading!
The gear unit is designed for power input via the worm shaft. The efficiency rating stated refers
to power input via the worm-shaft.
In combination with trapezoidal-thread spindles the gearbox unit is statically self-locking, but not
self-braking. The self-locking feature can be reduced or neutralized by vibrations, unfavourable
lubrication conditions and smoothing of the surface after running in.
The lifting unit may not be driven on mechanical stops. The Lmin and Lmax measures on the
nameplate must be observed. If the gear unit is run to the stops, components will be overloaded
causing damage.
Deviation from this requirement is only permitted if a low speed is chosen and the motor is
switched off before reaching 150% of the torque required for moving the load.

The surface temperature of the gearbox must not exceed 80°C during operation.
When used in areas with explosion hazard, it may be necessary to measure the surface temper-
ature and to ensure warning or cut-off, if the temperature of 65°C is exceeded.
Differing working conditions require written approval by ATLANTA.
2.1. Improper use:
Any use where the permissible limit values of lifting capacity and input speed, the operating con-
ditions and temperature ranges stated, and the other conditions mentioned under 2 are exceed-
ed, shall be considered improper use and shall consequently be forbidden.
This applies equally, if the gear unit and its attachments
are not assembled properly
are not installed properly
are installed with tensions
are very dirty
are not sufficiently lubricated
if dirt, foreign matter (e.g. chippings), or other pollutions are in the grease on the spindle
from where they might get into the nut

3. Transport
Transport and handling may be carried out only by qualified or specially trained personnel.
Observe the safety regulations applying to transport and handling with lifting tackle.
The load should be handled and set down slowly and cautiously.
No special bores or threads are provided for transporting the gear unit. There are, however,
many threaded fastening holes in the gearbox where eye-bolts can be screwed in, thus ena-
bling safe transportation and handling.
It must be assured that no loads (particularly no bending stresses) act upon the spindle and the
gear unit.
In gear units with non-rotating spindle the protective tube must not be subject to any bending
stresses.
Improper transportation of the gear unit can cause damage to the output-shaft bearing or the
spindle drive resulting in a considerably reduced service life of the gear unit and the spindle.
The total weight of the gear unit is mentioned on the name plate.
4. Preparing the installation
Installation work may be carried out only by qualified or specially trained personnel.
Inspect the gear unit for outside damage and soiling. A damaged or soiled gear unit must not
be installed or operated.
Cleaning with high-pressure cleaners is not permissible. It leads to the destruction of the
seals and penetration of water into the gearbox and consequently to premature failure of the
gear unit.
Do not clean the gear unit, and in particular the area of the seals, with sharp-edged objects
and liquid cleaning agents.

5. Installation
Mounting work may be carried out only by qualified or specially trained personnel.
Warning!
Rotating or straight moving parts may catch pieces of clothing, hair and members of
the body and injure persons. It must be ensured that persons cannot be endangered
by any rotating or straight moving components during the installation.
Screw-jack gearboxes or any individual components must always be mounted free from ten-
sions.
5.1. Mounting the limit-switch set for gear units with non-rotating spindle:
The mechanical limit switches can be used both as operation limit switches and as safety limit
switches. They are provided with forced mechanical disconnection. Due to this they can be
used as safety limit switches in accordance with the accident prevention rules of the German
professional association.
The inductive limit switches can be used as operation limit switches. Whether their use as
safety limit switches is permissible, has to be determined by the user.
The gearbox is supplied with the necessary bores inside the protective tube. The limit switch-
es are usually enclosed separately.
If the bores are executed on the site, mind the following points:
The protective tube must always be removed for this work. Otherwise chippings may
fall onto the spindle, stick in the grease and thus be carried into the spindle.
Position the bores so that they are covered when the plate with screwed-in limit
switch is fitted.
Do not use long slotted holes because they would reduce the strength of the protec-
tive tube.
After drilling, clean the tube from chips. Trim the bores inside and outside the tube.
The protective tube has a welded seam inside which must be fitted into the recess of
the twisting protection.
Always use screws of the same length for re-mounting the protective tube.
Screw the limit switches into the plate to the dimension required. For this purpose pro-
ceed as shown in the following table and in the drawings 1 and 2. Tighten the nut on the
limit switch.
Clamp the plate with the bracket on the protective tube. Make sure that the limit switch is
positioned in the middle of the bore. Tighten the screws only slightly.
Now start the gear unit as described under para. 7.
