Replacing Parts; Taking Apart Of The Iec-Standard Flanged Motor; Scrapping The Gear Unit - Siemens SIMOTICS GP Compact Operating Instructions

9.0 - REPLACING PARTS

•
Do not hesitate to replace parts and/or components if they are not able to guarantee safe and re-
liable operation.
•
Never improvise repairs.
•
The use of non-original spare parts not only voids the warranty but can compromise gear unit
operation.

9.1 - TAKING APART OF THE IEC-STANDARD FLANGED MOTOR

If, during operation, the coupling area of the motor and gear unit has not rusted significantly, it should be possi-
ble to remove the motor without applying excessive force.
If, on the other hand, it proves difficult to remove the motor, do not use screwdrivers or levers to apply force
as this can damage the flanges and coupling surfaces, but proceed as indicated below.
(S3)
1. Drill and thread the motor shaft (fan side).
2. Screw an impact extractor tool into the tap.
3. Undo the screws fixing the motor to the gear unit.
4. Remove the motor by means of the inertial force of the extractor.

9.2 - SCRAPPING THE GEAR UNIT

This must only be done by operators trained in the observance of applicable laws on health and safety at
work.
Do not dump non-biodegradable products, lubricants and non-ferrous materials (rubber, PVC, resins, etc.)
into the environment. Dispose of all such materials as stipulated by applicable environmental protection legi-
slation.
Do not attempt to re-use parts or components which appear to be in good condition after they have
been checked and/or replaced by qualified personnel and declared unsuitable for use.
