Transporting a motor that has already been in operation
If you want to transport a motor that has already been in operation, proceed as follows:
1. Allow the motor to cool down.
2. Remove the connections provided by the customer.
3. Empty the motor of any cooling water and purge it carefully with air.
4. Always transport and lift the motor by the lifting eyebolts on the bearing end shields.
4.2.2 Storage
The motors can be stored for up to two years in a dry, dust-free room that is not susceptible
to vibration (veff < 0.2 mms
-1
) without the specified storage time being reduced.
CAUTION
Seizure damage to bearings
If the motors are stored incorrectly, bearing seizure damage can occur (e.g. brinelling) as a
result of vibrations.
Storing indoors
● Apply a preservation agent (e.g. Tectyl) to bare, external components (e.g. shaft ends) if
this has not already been carried out in the factory.
● Store the motor in an area that fulfills the following requirements:
– Dry, dust-free, frost-free and vibration-free The relative air humidity should be less
than 60% and the temperature should not drop below -15 °C (to EN 60034-1).
– Well ventilated
– Offers protection against extreme weather conditions
– The air in the storage area must not contain any harmful gases.
● Protect the motor against shocks and humidity.
● Make sure that motor is covered properly.
● Avoid contact corrosion. You are advised to rotate the end of the shaft manually every
three months.
