4.2.2. Preparation
Once the motor is installed, it must be possible to access to the wiring, and read the
manufacturer’s plate. Air must be able to circulate freely around the motor for cooling
purposes.
Clean the shaft using a cloth soaked in white spirit or alcohol. Pay attention that the cleaning
solution does not get on to the bearings.
The motor must be in a horizontal position during cleaning or running.
Caution: Do not step on the motor, the connector or the terminal box
Caution: Always bear in mind that some parts of the surface of the motor can
reach or exceed 100°C
4.2.3. Mechanical assembly
The operational life of motor bearings largely depends on the care
and attention given to this operation.
Carefully check the alignment of the motor shaft with the driven
machine to avoid vibrations, irregular rotations or applying too much
strain on the shaft.
Prohibit any impact on the shaft or press fitting which could mark the
bearing tracks.
In the event that the front bearing block is sealed by a lip seal which
rubs on the rotating section, we recommend that you lubricate the
seal with grease to extend its operational life.
Warning : The user has the entire responsibility to prepare the support, the
coupling device, shaft line alignment, and shaft line balancing.
Warning : Parker will not be responsible for any motor shaft fatigue due to
excessive strain on the shaft, a bad alignment or bad shaft line balancing .
