⚫ motor’s bearing shield. After each use, the motor must cool down again to ambient ⚫ temperature. Only motor controllers and regulators approved by Plettenberg ⚫ must be used. Never exceed the maximum screw-in depth. Screws or bolts ⚫ which are screwed too far will damage or destroy the motor.
Please contact us for any questions on mounting and installation. Cable connections Only motor controllers and regulators approved by Plettenberg must be used. If other motor controllers or regulators are used, Plettenberg cannot assume any guarantee or liability in the event of destruction of the motor, regulator or the motor controller.
120-degree electrical spacing are installed in the stator. Depending on the application, a “rotor-sensor” or a “shaft-sensor” can be viable alternatives. Plettenberg can also integrate custom encoder and positioning sensors. All sensor guided motors of Plettenberg have a specified direction of rotation (CW or CCW), which needs to be defined when ordering the motor.
Depending on the type of motor, Plettenberg offers air- as well as water-cooled versions. When commissioning and/or integrating the motor, it needs to be ensured that sufficient cooling is available to ensure highest performance and prevent permanent damage.
For applications with insufficient or non-ideal airflow, Plettenberg has a wide range to active and passive cooling solutions available. For water-cooled motors, Plettenberg recommends minimum flow of 7 litres-per-minute at max. 40 degrees Celsius inlet temperature. Coolant pressure shall not exceed 2 bar/ 29 PSI. For specific pressure drops by motor type please reach out to us.
