ï Prefix symbols and unit symbols are written ï When giving sizes by using prefix symbols and
without blanks and together they form the unit symbols, the prefixes should be chosen in
symbol for a new unit. An exponent on the unit such a way that the numerical values are

Complete protection against contact
1) For equipment with degrees of protection from 1 to 4, uniformly or non-uniformly shaped

foreign bodies with three dimensions perpendicular to each other and above the correspond-

Types of protection for electrical equipment

Example of designation Type of protection DIN EN 60529 IP 4 4
Designation
DIN number
Code letters
First type number
Second type number
An enclosure with this designation is protected against the ingress of solid foreign bodies
having a diameter above 1 mm and of splashing water.
Degrees of protection for protection against water (second type number)
Second type Degree of protection

number (Protection against water)
0 No special protection
1 Protection against dripping water falling vertically.

It may not have any harmful effect (dripping water).
7 Protection against dripping water falling vertically.

2 It may not have any harmful effect on equipment (enclosure) inclined by up to 15q
relative to its normal position (diagonally falling dripping water).
Protection against water falling at any angle up to 60q relative to the perpendi-
3 cular.
It may not have any harmful effect (spraying water).
Protection against water spraying on the equipment (enclosure) from all direc-
4 tions.
It may not have any harmful effect (splashing water).
Protection against a water jet from a nozzle which is directed on the equipment
5 (enclosure) from all directions.
It may not have any harmful effect (hose-directed water).
6 Protection against heavy sea or strong water jet.

No harmful quantities of water may enter the equipment (enclosure) (flooding).
Protection against water if the equipment (enclosure) is immersed under deter-

7 mined pressure and time conditions.
No harmful quantities of water may enter the equipment (enclosure) (immersion).
8 The equipment (enclosure) is suitable for permanent submersion under condi-

tions to be described by the manufacturer (submersion). 1)
1) This degree of protection is normally for air-tight enclosed equipment. For certain equipment,
however, water may enter provided that it has no harmful effect.

The figures in brackets are hardness values outside the domain of definition of standard hardness test
methods which, however, in practice are frequently used as approximate values. Furthermore, the Brinell
hardness values in brackets apply only if the test was carried out with a carbide ball.

1) Decisive criteria for the determination of the carburizing temperature are mainly the required time of carburizing the
chosen carburizing agent, and the plant available, the provided course of process, as well as the required structural
constitution. For direct hardening, carburizing usually is carried out at temperatures below 950 qC. In special cases
carburizing temperatures up to above 1000 qC are applied.
2) In case of direct hardening, quenching is carried out either from the carburizing temperature or any lower temperature.
In particular if there is a risk of warping, lower hardening temperatures are preferred.

1.2.2.2 Pitches
The pitch pt of a helical gear (p in the case of a
spur gear) lying in a transverse section is the
length of the reference circle arc between two
successive right or left flanks, see figures 6 and
7. With the number of teeth z results pt = S · d / z
= S · mt.
The normal transverse pitch pet of a helical gear
is equal to the pitch on the basic circle pbt, thus
pet = pbt = S · db / z. Hence, in the normal section
the normal base pitch at a point pen = pet / cosEb
is resulting from it, and in the axial section the
axial pitch pex = pet / tanEb, see figure 13.

1.2.3 Concepts and parameters associated internal gear pairs k > 0, i.e. the tip diameters
with a cylindrical gear pair of both gears become larger (on an internal
gear with negative tip diameter the absolute
1.2.3.1 Terms value becomes smaller).
The mating of two external cylindrical gears (ex-
ternal gears) gives an external gear pair. In the
case of a helical external gear pair one gear has
left-handed and the other one right-handed flank
direction.
The mating of an external cylindrical gear with an
internal cylindrical gear (internal gear) gives an
internal gear pair. In the case of a helical internal
gear pair, both gears have the same flank direc-
tion, that is either right-handed or left-handed.
The subscript 1 is used for the size of the smaller
gear (pinion), and the subscript 2 for the larger
gear (wheel or internal gear).
In the case of an unmodified gear pair (a zero
gear pair), both gears have as addendum modi-
fication coefficient x1 = x2 = 0 (zero gears).
In the case of a gear pair at reference centre di-
stance, both gears have addendum modifica-
tions (modified gears), that is with x1 + x2 = 0, i.e.
x 1 = - x2 .
For a modified gear pair, the sum is not equal to
zero, i.e. x1 + x2 z 0. One of the cylindrical gears
in this case may, however, have an addendum
modification x = 0.

SECUREX
Torque limiters
With SECUREX, Siemens provides a unique modular system of mechanical torque limiters.
Owing to a variety of possibilities to combine standard components, the functions Protection
from overload as well as Compensation of shaft misalignment can be fulfilled with just one
compact unit.
With the development of SECUREX, Siemens has concentrated its experiences gained over 11
decades in the fields of both overload protection and compensation of shaft misalignments in
one product line.
SECUREX is based on the wide range of FLENDER standard couplings of different basic types
and on standardized safety elements. With this combination, economical coupling solutions can be
realized.
With the modular SECUREX system, Siemens has focused on its core competence in the
torque range of up to 1,500,000 Nm and benefits from its rich fund of knowledge and experience
gained from application- and product-related R&D (e.g. sliding hubs in the wind energy industry,
shear pin solutions in rolling mills, torque limiters in extruder applications, etc.).
