Motor disassembly
The following sequence of operations applies to
the normal maintenance jobs that could be
required during the course of general overhauls.
It is suggested to also consult the disassembly
instructions
3AAM101047) for further details with regard to
safety and the precautions o be taken during
certain stages.
Disconnect and physically separate all the
main power supply cables and monitoring
units from the boxes as well as the ground
connections.
Dismantle all the accessories on the top part
of the motor and the protection roof, to make
the lifting easier.
Loosen and remove the bolts fastening to the
base plate and the location pins (if present)
and uncouple the motor from the driven
machine tool.
Attach the motor to the lifting equipment with
eye bolts, provided on the casing.
Lock the end of the shaft with the anti-rotation
locking device.
With extreme care, remove the motor from the
base-plate Arrange it with the axis horizontal,
using a suitable fixed block as overturning
pivot. Rest the casing on wooden blocks. The
main terminal box is to be positioned upwards.
Dismantle the ventilation cap (08) and remove
the external fan (06) loosening the hub locking
screws.
Remove the shaft anti-rotation lock.
Dismantle the coupling joint to the driven
machine from the end of the shaft (see
3AAM101031). If the motor has joints at both
ends, remove both joints.
Remove the fastening split rings (10) with the
appropriate tool.

Dismantle the external labyrinth seal integral with
the grease valve (14) and extract with threaded tie-
rods; these components are mounted on the shaft
with a slight interference, therefore it is advised to
and
flame heat them to approx. 80°C for easier
extraction (some machines have the labyrinth seal
separated from the grease valve). Remove the
screws (4) and the bearing fixed external seals.
The figure shows the seals removal operation

Warning! In vertical axis motors the bearing free to
slide axially is mounted on coupling side D, whereas
the axially locked bearing, that sustains the weight of
the rotor is mounted on the opposite N coupling side
(top); it is therefore important to follow the dismantling
instructions exactly in the sequence indicated below.
Slightly lift the rotor from the coupling side with a
jack or a crane, attached to the end of the shaft
with a suitable cord, so as to relieve the weight of
the rotor from the bearing. Place a solid support
under the lifted end and release the rotor on the
support.
Remove the screws (15) that join the shield (16) to
the stator casing. Anchor the top part of the shield
to lifting equipment with a ring type eyebolt.
Extract the shield from the casing using two
appropriate screws inserted in the threaded holes
on the shield. When the shield (16) has come out
of its housing in the casing, rest it gently on the
shaft. The bearing (1) will still be mounted on the
shaft and also the internal flame arresters (5) will
still be in place.
Repeat these operations to free the other shield.
