Long-term storage
Note
Storage time up to two years
The storage time aects the properties of the rolling bearing grease.
• Store the motor for up to two years at -15° C to 55° C.
If you store the motor for longer than six months, carefully ensure that the storage facility
complies with the following conditions:
Table 4-2 Ambient conditions for long-term storage in the product packaging according to Class
1K3 to EN 60721‑3‑1 - with the exception of inuencing environmental variables "Air
temperature", "Highest relative humidity" and "Condensation"
Climatic ambient conditions ‑15 °C to +55 °C
Highest relative humidity < 60%, condensation not permissible
Mechanical ambient conditions vibration-free storage room v
rms
< 0.2 mm/s
Protection against chemical substances Protected in acc. with Class 1C2
Biological ambient conditions Suitable in acc. with Class 1B2
Duration • Six months for the above-mentioned condi‐
tions.
• Special preservation measures are required
for storage periods of 6 months up to a
maximum of two years.
Check the correct state of the motor every six months.
• Check the motor for any damage.
• Perform any necessary maintenance work.
• Check the state of the dehydrating agent and replace when necessary.
• Record the preservation work so that all preservation coating can be removed prior to the
commissioning.
Condensation
The following ambient conditions encourage the formation of condensation:
• Signicant ambient temperature uctuations,
• Direct sunshine,
• High humidity during storage.
Avoid these ambient conditions.
Use a dehydrating agent in the packaging.
