7.4.1 Switching via clutch lever
The GKK gearbox is suitable for moving into and out of the material in drag conveyors
orsimilar systemsofthematerialshandlingtechnology. Duringthepositioningprocess,
the clutch is switched via clutch lever. Switching is permissible at low speed difference
(up to 10 m/min).
Note!
To achieve the highest possible service life of the components involved in
the switching process, a speed synchronisation is desirable.
With an integrated frequency inverter in the controller, it is also possible to match the
travelling speed of the GKK gearbox to the speed of the drag conveyor so that engaging
can be omitted.
