Operation; Notices Regarding Operation; Wear; Steps For Reducing Wear - Bosch Rexroth LU 2 Assembly Instructions Manual

10 Operation

Hot surfaces of the electric motors in operation!
Burns can result from the > 65 °C surfaces.
Provide for appropriate guard devices.
Let the unit cool down at least 30 minutes before performing maintenance
and/or repair work.

10.1 Notices regarding operation

10.1.1

Wear

• The principle of individual components leads to unavoidable wear.
Structural measures and choice of materials are used to achieve functional
reliability for the full service life. However, wear is also dependent on the
operating, maintenance and ambient conditions at the place of use
(resistance, contamination).
• Overloading conveyor sections can lead to failure of the conveyor and
the premature failure of motors and gearboxes.
• If the pneumatically activated components are overloaded, it is not possible
to guarantee their function.
10.1.2

Steps for reducing wear

The following measures will reduce wear:
• Switch off the conveyor line when at standstill e.g. during breaks, at night,
at weekends.
• Do not select a higher speed for the conveyor line than that required for
the corresponding function.
• Avoid contamination due to abrasive media, reduce contamination by cleaning
on a regular basis.
10.1.3 Environmental infl uences
• Resistant to many conventional substances used in the manufacturing sector,
such as water, oil, grease, and detergents. If you are unsure about resistance
against certain chemicals such as test oil, doped oils, aggressive detergents,
solvents, or brake fl uid, we recommend that you consult with your specialized
Rexroth representative.
• Avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic or alkaline reacting substances.
• Wear can increase signifi cantly in the case of contamination with abrasive media in
the environment in particular; these include sands and silicates from construction
work, for example, as well as from processes on the transfer system (e.g. welding
beads, pumice dust, shards of glass, or loose and easily lost items).
Under such conditions the maintenance intervals should be signifi cantly reduced.
