5.2 Storage
If you do not install the gearbox immediately, provide for proper storage conditions.
• Generally
– Store gearboxes indoors in a dry, clean (low-dust) and sunlight-protected
environment.
– The storage location must be free from vibrations and shocks (V
eff
< 0.2 mm/s)
in order to prevent roller bearing standstill damage.
– Temperature changes with condensate formation are to be avoided.
– Do not activate ventilation unit, in order to prevent air exchange with the
ambient air.
• Up to one year:
– Store gearboxes with a ventilation unit with the vent plug on top.
– Shafts and uncoated surfaces are delivered in a protected against rust status.
Aftertreatment is required where the corrosion protection has been damaged.
– Remove the plug for motors with condensation drain holes (option)( 28).
• More than one year, up to two years:
– Apply a long-term corrosion preventive (e.g. Anticorit BW 366 from the Fuchs
company) to the shafts and uncoated surfaces before storing the motor away.
– Install gearbox in mounting position A.
– Fill gearbox up to the top vent hole / oil hole with the oil grade specified (see
nameplate). Then mount the locking screw and ventilation unit (do not activate)
again.
