7.3 Maintenance tasks
7.3.1 Maintenance intervals
The product is subject to natural wear and tear. It wears out, which can cause
unscheduled downtimes of your system. Güdel defines the service life and
maintenance intervals of the product to ensure safe, uninterrupted operation.
Operating hours
Güdel always uses Power On as the operating time for the maintenance inter-
val indicators. Power On shows the duration in which the drives are located
in the control system.
Duty cycle
The maintenance intervals refer to the effective operating hours of the prod-
uct at a duty cycle (ED) of 100%. The duty cycle always refers to the entire
process. This means that the duty cycle of specific axes cannot be considered
individually.
