NOTICE
Bearing damage
The bearing insulation must not be bridged. Bearing currents can damage bearings.
● Also for subsequent installation work, such as the installation of an automatic lubrication
system or a non-insulated vibration sensor, make sure that the bearing insulation cannot
be bridged.
● Contact the Service Center, if necessary.
Tandem operation
If you connect two motors in series in "tandem operation", install an insulated coupling between
the motors.
① Driving machine ④ Insulated bearings
② Motor ⑤ Insulated tachometer fitting
③ Coupling ⑥ Insulated coupling

NOTICE
Bearing damage
Bearing currents can flow if the coupling between the motors of the tandem drive is not
insulated. This can damage the DE bearings of both motors.
● Use an insulated coupling to link the motors.

If you connect two motors in series in "tandem operation", locate a coupling between the
motors; this coupling should satisfy the Directive 2014/34/EU or the regulations that apply in
the country where the equipment is installed.
