Lenze ATEX-compliant geared motors and gearboxes
ATEX directives regulate the use of equipment in
potentially explosive atmospheres throughout Europe,
thus harmonising the various national standards that exist.
Not only electrical equipment, but also mechanical,
pneumatic and hydraulic devices and device components
are critically evaluated in terms of the associated potential
for explosion. Previously, such devices had been classified
as non-critical system components in respect of explosion
protection.
Furthermore, the number of zones for potentially dust
explosive atmospheres has been increased from two to
three. Against the backdrop of this EU Directive 94/9 EC,
in its capacity as a manufacturer Lenze has carried out a
comprehensive hazard analysis of its gear case, evaluated
the ignition dangers associated with the gearbox and made
design adaptations.
