3.8.2 Parking brake ID series motors can be fitted, as an option, with an electromagnetic parking brake to immobilise the motor load safely and in a way that is 100% external to the operation of the motor itself. On certain occasions, this is necessary for safety reasons, e.g. when it is necessary to block the movement of the machine to work on the interior safely or when there is a fault in the converter power supply or other mechanical devices of the installation.
The technical data sheets VASCAT provides for each motor show the noise level in dB issued by each model. Optionally, motors can be fitted with a kit to reduce the level of noise emissions. Please check with VASCAT for more details.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ID MOTORS PAGE: 35 4.3 Transport The machine must be transported always in accordance with the following instructions: WARNING Transport and lifting of the machine by the eyebolts only For the correct handling of the motor, several eyebolts have been fitted on the top of the housing exclusively for said purpose. Therefore, do not lift the motor using the shaft or the fan casing under any circumstances.
Before packaging the motor, VASCAT applies a thin film of blue removable lacquer on the end of the shaft and the machined surfaces. This product protects the materials against corrosion. If it is to be stored for a long period, do not remove the protective film.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ID MOTORS PAGE: 37 5. INSTALLATION AND START-UP PRECAUTION Damage caused to bearings as a result of long storage periods If the machine has been stored for more than 3 years in good conditions (dry, dust-free place, etc.), the grease on the bearings must be changed, if they need re-greasing, or the bearing should be changed if it is a bearing with lubrication for its entire service life.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ID MOTORS PAGE: 38 5.1.2 Mounting Correct mounting is essential to guarantee a long service life for the motor. The following are essential issues that need to be taken into account when anchoring the motor correctly: IM B3 Foot-mounting: a) Ensure that the support base is correctly levelled: the motors must be mounted on a solid, flat base that is perfectly level.
The customer is responsible for ensuring the correct alignment of both shafts. VASCAT motors and rotors are dynamically balanced using a half-key on the end of the shaft (in accordance with the 60034-14 standard). To ensure the correct balance of the entire transmission unit, all the parts of the transmission system must also be balanced (pulley, coupling, etc.).

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ID MOTORS PAGE: 40 Figure 8: Fitting the coupling PRECAUTION Damages to the motor bearings If the motor shaft is knocked, the bearings may be damaged. If belts are used for the transmission of the torque or a gear with radial load, make sure that the admissible radial load is not exceeded on the motor shaft.
Before the connection, check the status of the insulation elements of the windings with regard to earth, since long or inappropriate storage or transport may have caused the motor to absorb humidity, which affects the capacity for insulation. The insulation reference values considered safe by VASCAT are as follows: Parameters...

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ID MOTORS PAGE: 47 5.3 Start-up 5.3.1 Preliminary checks Before starting the motor, check the following: - The motor is correctly aligned, fastened and coupled (the belt tension is correct in the case of belt transmission or the radial profile and tooth flank profile is adequate in the case of gear transmission).
4- Check that the manifold switches cleanly and evenly 5- After several hours in operation, check that the thermal behaviour of the motor corresponds to the motor service type. If in doubt, please contact VASCAT. CODE: CTT52 EDITION: 03 RELEASE: APRIL 2019...
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ID MOTORS PAGE: 49 6. MAINTENANCE This chapter describes the preventive maintenance operations for ID motors. VASCAT declines all responsibility for faulty maintenance performed by the end user. 6.1 Safety instructions WARNING Qualified personnel All the cleaning and maintenance work must be carried out by qualified personnel in observance of the safety regulations that apply to the machine coupled to the motor and when the motors are completely stopped and isolated from the mains.
If faults are found during the inspection, they must be corrected immediately. Besides this basic inspection, a number of maintenance tasks must be carried out to ensure that the motor has a long service life. The maintenance operations recommended by VASCAT are as follows: 6.2.2 Cleaning of the fan and air filter It is important to keep the fan wheel as clean as possible.
Page 51
PAGE: 51 The air inlets of ID series motors are fitted with NGB 290/4-type particle filters, which require regular cleaning. The frequency of this operation will depend on the environment in which the motor is located and the frequency with which it is used.
Factor that will depend on the re-greasing frequency (0.002 weekly, 0.003 monthly and 0.004 annually). VASCAT recommends re-greasing every 500 hours or once a month. The greasing nipples VASCAT fits to its motors comply with the DIN 71412 standard and are zinc-coated. The types used in standard procedures are as follows:...
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ID MOTORS PAGE: 53 6.2.4 Replacement of bearings Both the bearings that have been greased for all their service life and those that need to be greased regularly, as well as hermetic parts that are subjected to wear and tear (seals and joints, etc.), where applicable, must be replaced after 20,000 operating hours.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ID MOTORS PAGE: 55 6.2.5 Replacement of motor brushes The brush-holders are only accessible through the inspection windows, as shown by the following figures: Figure 17: Access to motor brush holder. In order to access the brushes on the lower position, it will be necessary to rotate the brush-holders ring, as there is not enough space below to access and remove these brushes: Figure 18: Detail of the rotation to access the lower brushes.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ID MOTORS PAGE: 56 3. Remove the pressure spring from each brush. 4. Loosen the screw of each wire. 5.
