Incorrect packaging, storage and/or incorrect transport
Risk of death, injury and/or material damage can occur if the devices are packed, stored, or
transported incorrectly.
• Always follow the safety instructions for storage and transport.
• Before transporting or lifting machines or parts machines, lock the rotary axes so the
they cannot accidentally rotate. This is necessary, as the axes are not self locking.
• Always correctly and carefully carry out storage, transport and lifting operations.
• Only use suitable devices and equipment that are in perfect condition.
• Only use lifting devices, transport equipment and suspension equipment that comply
with the appropriate regulations.
• IATA regulations must be observed when components are transported by air.
• Mark locations where rotors are stored with warning and prohibit signs according to the
tables in Chapter "Supplied pictograms"
• Observe the warning instructions on the packaging.
• Always wear safety shoes and safety gloves.
• Take into account the maximum loads that personnel can lift and carry. The motors and
their components can weigh more than 13 kg.
• Torque motors and rotors must always be transported and stored in the packaged
condition.
– Replace any defective packaging. Correct packaging offers protection against
sudden forces of attraction that can occur in their immediate vicinity. Further, when
correctly packaged you are protected against hazardous motion when storing and
moving rotors.
Only use undamaged original packaging.
Note
Original packaging
