4.13.7 Attaching the rotor shipping brace prior to storage
NOTICE
Bearing damage caused by vibration
If storage conditions are inappropriate there is a risk of bearing seizure damage. This can
result in material damage, such as damage to bearings caused by vibration.
● On machines that have been supplied with a rotor shipping brace, secure the rotor as per
the notes on transportation.
● Protect the machine against strong radial vibrations, since the rotor shipping brace might
not absorb these completely.
NOTICE
Bearing damage when being transported
If the customer has already mounted parts, for example coupling, belt pulley, etc., the bearing
can be damaged during transport.
● In this case, make sure that the customer uses a rotor shipping brace.
4.13.8 Long-term storage
Long-term storage
If you are storing a machine for more than six months, you must check its condition every six
months.
● Check the machine for damage.
● Carry out any necessary maintenance work.
● Document all preservation measures taken so that they can be reversed before the
machines are put back into service.
● Provide air-conditioning for the storage room.
