Overview
Installation should conform to electrical codes and safety practices for accident prevention.
Location
Motor installation area must be protected from environmental factors and allow for ventilation.
Alignment
Accurate alignment, including direct coupling and end-play adjustment, is crucial for preventing vibration and wear.
Receiving
Inspect shipping container and verify motor part number upon receipt.
Storage
Store motors in a clean, dry, and warm location, protected from moisture and condensation.
Unpacking
Unpack motors only after they reach room temperature to avoid condensation.
Handling
Use proper care and safe procedures during handling, lifting, installing, and operating.
Repairs
ABB is not responsible for damage from customer repair attempts; consult ABB for service.
Shaft Loads
Excessive shaft loads can damage motors and void warranties; consult radial load capacity curves.
Life Determination
Life estimate is a statistical expectancy based on fatigue; involves determining load, distance, speed, and plotting on curves.
Speed and Torque
Speed-torque curves show safe operating areas, speed limits, and intermittent operating areas.
Holding Brake
Holding brakes are optional, designed to hold shaft at 0 RPM when power is off.
