Storage
The motors can be stored for up to 2 years in a dry, dust-free room that is not susceptible to
vibration (v
NOTICE
Seizure damage to bearings
If the motors are stored incorrectly, bearing seizure damage can occur (e.g. brinelling) as a
result of vibration.
Storing indoors
● Apply a preservation agent (e.g. Tectyl) to bare, external components (e.g. shaft
extensions) if this has not already been carried out in the factory.
● Store the motor in an area that fulfills the following requirements:
– Dry, dust-free, frost-free and vibration-free The relative air humidity should be less
– Well ventilated
– Offers protection against extreme weather conditions
– The air in the storage area must not contain any harmful gases.
● Protect the motor against shocks and humidity.
● Make sure that motor is covered properly.
● Avoid contact corrosion. You are advised to rotate the shaft extension manually every
three months.
Protection against humidity
If a dry storage area is not available, the following measures must be taken:
● Wrap the motor in humidity-absorbent material and then wrap it in film so that it is air
tight.
● Include several bags of desiccant in the seal-tight packaging. Check the desiccant and
replace as required.
● Place a humidity meter in the seal-tight packaging to indicate the level of air humidity
inside it.
● Inspect the motor on a regular basis.
