• The responsibility for precauons and warnings lies with the installer of the system. Refer to the,
local or naonal, laws and regulaons of the country if a cercaon (mark) is necessary.
• Parts of the electrical or electronic installaons are connected to dangerous electrical voltages.
This is also applicable if the drive unit is not in operaon or the motor does not turn. Work
without professional competence or not obeyed warning instrucons could cause injury and/or
material damage.
• Make sure that no foreign parcles, loose parts, moisture or dust go into the components (EM,
gearbox, RSU/RLS) during all work. There is a risk of short circuit, re and corrosion.
• Take sucient precauons to prevent ElectroStac Discharge (ESD).
• Ridder is not responsible for injury, material damage or consequenal damage if accessories are
used that Ridder did not make.
TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND PACKAGING
The condions and instrucons that follow are applicable.
• Ambient temperature: -15 to +60 °C (+5 to +140 °F).
• Ambient: A not-condensed relave humidity is necessary.
• Do a check for transport damage and missing parts immediately on incoming goods.
• Tell damages and missing parts immediately to the transport company and to your local Aer
Sales contact person.
• Do not use damaged products and if necessary do not start the work.
• Do not remove the product from the (sealed) packaging before it is sent to the installaon site.
This prevents damage (from mechanical shocks) to the product.
• Use applicable means-of-transport with dimensions which are sucient. Use (if necessary) the
correct work equipment and accessories. Refer to “Dimensions” and “Technical specicaons”.
Make sure that the working condions comply with the, local or naonal, laws and regulaons.
• Make sure that storage areas and the areas in the means-of-transport are dry and the airow is
sucient.
• Make sure that the products do not touch the (moist) boom surface of storage areas and of the
means-of-transport (use pallets or such). The boom surfaces must be smooth.
• Make sure that the products are protected from dust, dirt and direct sunlight.
• Apply an applicable corrosion-prevenve agent to metal surfaces that are not painted.
• Aer installaon discard the packaging and obey the applicable naonal and/or local regulaons.

fall uncontrolled. Install (if necessary) protection from system parts that move. Obey the
applicable national and/or local standards and guidelines of the related type of operated
system.
• Use (if applicable) personal protecve-equipment for protecon which agrees with the dierent
types of work.
• Do not let persons and not approved personnel be near controls and systems in operaon.
• Damaged systems must be stopped immediately unl they are repaired.
• Use safety barriers for system parts that move. Refer to the applicable standards and guidelines.
• The safety distance to the danger zone (if applicable) must agree with applicable standards and
guidelines (for example ISO 13857:2008).
• Do not operate systems when the motor gearbox (internally and/or externally) is frozen in cold
and moist condions (for example because of snow or ice).
• Do not operate systems when persons are in the danger zone and can touch the system.
• Monitor the danger zone when you work with or near the system.
• Stop and de-energize systems during maintenance and cleaning work on or near the system.
• Make sure that there is sucient space between parts that move and adjacent objects.
• Stay away from or safety areas where there is a risk to become caught in a system that moves.
• The torque and the duty cycle of the system must be in the range of the motor gearbox
parameters.
2.3 Residual risks
Automac controls
The Ridder drive-units are usually used in automac controlled systems. Persons who do work or
stay near the system must know about that. If persons or their clothes touch the system during
operaon, it can be dangerous.
Forces
Ridder cannot be sure that there will be no injury to persons or damage to the system because of
the forces in the systems (in which the drive unit is installed).
If you do not obey the safety instrucons that follow it can be
dangerous and cause injury.
Persons can be in danger of life if they touch a system that is in
operaon.

3.2 Descripon
RW motor gearboxes are drive units to operate systems in greenhouses, livestock houses, crop-
storage buildings and such. The RW motor-gearboxes are applicable at ambient temperatures
between 0 and 60 °C. RW motor-gearboxes have a self-braking worm-gear transmission which stops
the drive unit (worm sha) when not operated and then locks the output sha. To operate manually
(externally) is possible with (electric) tools and a hexagon socket in the sha of the electric motor.
The RW motor-gearboxes (3-phase) have the linear RSU limit-switch system, with duty switches and
safety switches. RW motor-gearboxes are applicable to use intermiently (duty class s3-35%) with
a maximum duty cycle of 25 minutes. The oponal PosioningUnit RPU monitors the posions of
the drive unit and transmits the data to the automac control-system (ACS). Posion feedback is
also possible with a mounng set with potenometer. Operaon is possible, usually in automated
systems, with a manual control (MC) and/or other control components.
The RW motor-gearboxes have connecons (terminal blocks/connecon blocks) to connect the
cables and are supplied with cable glands for the power cables and control cables. The gearbox
housing of the RW motor-gearbox has a powder-coang. RW motor-gearboxes are supplied with
xing bolts and spring washers*.
* For RW1000–RW2000 motor gearboxes bolts (M12), spring washers and nuts are accessories.

4.3 Sprockets
• Usually Ridder installs sprockets onto the two basic output shafts (BOS) of most models (general
designaon: RW).
• Some models (such as RW-LK, RW-D, RW-LD) have:
• One special output-sha (LK) plus one basic output sha (BOS)
• One special output-sha (D) plus two basic output shas (BOS)
• Two special output-shas (L + D). (The L-sha is for installaon of a drum.).
• Some models or shas (BOS and/or special shas) are supplied without sprockets.
Thus it is possibly necessary, if applicable for the conguraon, to:
❶ Install necessary (oponal) sprockets on output shas or
❷ Interchange sprockets with necessary (oponal) sprockets on output shas.
Refer to the illustraon (step ❶ and ❷) that follows for the conguraon of sha keys (a, b),
retaining rings (c) and ring (d).
For more informaon on item numbers and models refer to the Ridder catalog or website at
ridder.com.
* Sha LK-model: Installaon of a drum is also possible. Refer to §4.7/4.8.
** Sha L-model is for installaon of a drum. Refer to §4.7/4.8.

4.4 Installaon
The condions and starng points that follow are applicable for installaon. Make sure that the
working condions comply with the, local or naonal, laws and regulaons.
• Do not remove the product from the packaging unl a short me before the installaon.
• Use the correct work equipment and accessories (belts, chains, pallets or such) if it is not
permied or possible to put the product manually in posion.
• Only use a permied mounng posion when you install the RW motor-gearbox. Refer to §4.2.
• The mounng plates are available in dierent dimensions for dierent conguraons. Refer to
“Oponal mounng plates ❶”.
Install the RW motor-gearbox onto the mounng plate or an alternave (refer to “Oponal
mounng plates ❷”):
• With the supplied spring washers and bolts M10x20 (2x) for an RW45 drive unit
• With the supplied spring washers and bolts M10x25 (3x) for RW240–600 and RW70–200 drive
units
• With the supplied spring washers and bolts M12x25 (4x) for an RW800 drive unit
• With nuts, spring washers and bolts M12(4x) for RW1000–2000 drive units (supplied as
accessories).
Refer to “Minimum Screw-in depth/Free thread-length (SID/FTL)” which also shows the standard
bolt-installation (SBI).
• The RSU limit-switch system and other components (RPU and such) can give informaon
“in operaon” and/or during commissioning. Thus, easy access and a sasfactory view is
recommended for the locaon of the RW motor-gearbox.
• In the factory the reductor is lled with the necessary quanty of grease (usually only RW45) or
oil. Aer installaon interchange (of reductors lled with oil) the plug in the highest posion with
the vent plug! Refer to §4.2.
