GENERAL CATALOGUE Speed variators

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document serves as a comprehensive catalogue for the K2, K4, and K5 series speed variators, covering power ranges from 0.37 to 4 kW. It includes selection guides, dimensions, technical specifications, and compliance information.
Selection and Dimensions: The document provides detailed selection criteria and dimensional data for the K2 (0.37-0.75 kW), K4 (1.1-1.5 kW), and K5 (2.2-4 kW) series. Each series has specific pages dedicated to selection and dimensions.
Technical Features: Key features include bidirectional rotation, available flanges, speed control options, and various mounting positions. The variators are designed with aluminium housing, centrifuged bronze bushings, tool steel pistons, and Freudenberg seals.
ATEX Directive Compliance: The document outlines compliance with the ATEX directive for use in potentially explosive environments, detailing classification and necessary accessories.
Working Principle: The variators operate on a hydrostatic transmission principle, involving a primary variable displacement pump and a secondary constant displacement pump. Speed regulation is achieved by adjusting the primary unit's eccentricity.
Service Factors and Selection Guide: Tables are provided for calculating service factors based on working conditions such as temperature, shock loads, and operational hours.
Maintenance and Spare Parts: Guidelines include oil change intervals and lists of spare parts for different series. Variators are supplied without oil, requiring customer filling.
Key Specifications: Power range is 0.37-4 kW, with a speed range of 1450-0-1450 rpm and torque control. High starting torque and adjustable speed with motor off are highlighted.
Recommendations: For applications with wide speed ranges or high torque requirements, using a variator with a gearbox is recommended. Compliance with service factors is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
Safety Features: Includes adjustable safety valves to prevent damage from excessive torque.
Modular Mounting System: The variators are modular, allowing customization with different input, output, feet, and speed control kits.
Speed Control Options: Options include handwheel, lever, and electric controls, with additional controls available in the 'Applications' catalogue.
Compliance and Standards: Compliance with the 2006/42/EC Directive is ensured, with a requirement for final machine compliance before use.
Lubrication and Maintenance: Specific oil types are recommended based on ambient temperature, with warnings against using synthetic oil ATF DEXRON.
Extreme Temperature Considerations: Consultation with Var-Spe's technical department is advised for temperatures above 40°C or below -15°C.
Mounting Positions: Variators can be installed in various positions, with warnings against ceiling-mounted feet.
Handwheel Control Specifications: Allows precise speed regulation across a full range, with output speed adjustable in both rotational directions.
Remote Electric Control: Enables speed adjustment from zero to maximum RPM using a push-button interface.
Torque Control System: Functions as a torque limiter, adjustable via screws with lock nuts.
Noise and Temperature Considerations: Guidelines are provided for maintaining optimal performance, including the use of appropriate oils and potential cooling systems.
Input Speed and Technical Features: Maximum input speed is 1750 RPM, with recommendations against using 2-pole motors.
Specifications: Detailed specifications for variator sizes, including weight, motor power, input and output flange types, and oil quantity requirements.
Radial and Axial Loads: Guidelines for calculating radial and axial loads on variators and gearboxes are provided.
Installation and Safety Guidelines: Emphasizes smooth coupling, alignment, and protective measures for safety and equipment integrity.
Operational Guidelines: Includes starting procedures, input rotation options, and compliance requirements.
Storage and Handling Instructions: Recommendations for maintaining efficiency during storage, including lubrication and oil management.
Spare Parts Lists: Detailed lists for various kits associated with the variators, ensuring precise identification and replacement of parts.

Principio di funzionamento Working principle Il variatore di velocità VarSpe funziona sul principio della trasmissione idrostatica, ed è costituito essenzialmente da una pompa idraulica a pistoni radiali a cilindrata regolabile (unità primaria) e da una pompa a cilindrata fissa (unità secondaria). Var-Spe infinitely variable hydraulic gears work according to the principle of hydrostatic transmission. They essentially consist of an hydraulic, radial piston variable displacement pump (primary pump) and a constant displacement pump (secondary pump). Entrambe le unità, primaria e secondaria, sono...
