Vibration Response; Noise Emission - Siemens SIMOTICS L-1FN3 Configuration Manual

Mechanical properties

3.3 Vibration response

Installed motor
The better the motor installation space is protected against the ingress of foreign particles
(especially true for ferromagnetic particles), the longer the motor service life. The space
around the motor must be kept free of chips and other foreign bodies.
The degree of protection of the installed motor according to EN 60529 and EN 60034-5 is
primarily dictated by the machine construction, but must be at least IP23.
3.3 Vibration response
The vibration response of build-in motors in operation essentially depends on the machine
design and the application itself.
As a result of an unfavorable machine design, configuration or system settings, resonance
points can be excited, so that vibration severity level A according to EN 60034-14
(IEC 60034-14) is not reached.
Excessive vibration caused by resonance effects can frequently be avoided by making
suitable settings. Contact Mechatronic Support if you require help in applying remedial
measures. You can find contact data in the Introduction under "Technical Support".
3.4

Noise emission

The following components and settings influence the noise levels reached when built-in
motors are operational:
● Machine design
● Encoder system
● Storage
● Controller settings
● Pulse frequency
As a result of unfavorable machine designs, configuration or system settings, measuring
surface sound pressure levels of over 70dB (A) can occur. Contact Mechatronic Support if
you require help in applying remedial measures. You can find contact data in the Introduction
under "Technical Support".
