Environmental protection and disposal

Recycling
Significant motor components
Demagnetize magnets
Packaging
Batteries and accumulators
Disposal of the motor components can be done according to the applicable
legal process in normal recycling process.
Most of the products can be recycled due to their high content of metal. In
order to recycle the metal in the best possible way, the products must be dis‐
assembled into individual assemblies. Metals contained in electric and elec‐
tronic assemblies can also be recycled by means of special separation pro‐
cesses.
Basically, our motors consist of the following components:
● Steel, aluminum, copper, brass
● Plastic parts, insulation and composite material
● Electronic components
● Permanent magnets
Plastic parts of the products may contain flame retardants. These plastic
parts are labeled according to EN ISO 1043. They have to be recycled sepa‐
rately or disposed of according to the applicable legal provisions.
WARNING
Health hazard for persons with heart pacemakers, metallic
implants and hearing aids in direct environment of permanent
magnets.
Crushing hazard of fingers and hand due to heavy attrac‐
tive forces of the magnets.
Risk of destruction of sensitive parts such as watches,
credit cards, ...
Please note the safety instructionsChapter 2.6.3 andChapter 2.6.4
The permanent magnets of the secondary part must be demagne‐
tized before disposal to avoid injuries or damage.
The demagnetization of the permanent magnets of the secondary part is
reached via special thermal treatment. The handling duration is influenced by
the frame of the motor component. The secondary part has to remain in the
oven for a minimum of 30 minutes, starting at the time, the magnetic surface
has reached 300 °C.
After cooling down of the secondary part and successful demag‐
netization, the magnets can be effortless disconnected from the
mounting plate.
Our packaging materials do not contain any problematic materials and can
therefor be easily disposed. Packaging materials are: Wood, carton and styr‐
ofoam
Batteries and accumulators can be labeled with this symbol.
