5.2.2 Storage
Description
The chapter provides you with notes on the permissible storage conditions, storage times and
on how to avoid condensation forming.
Note
If possible, store the motor in its original packaging.
NOTICE
Seizure damage to bearings
If the motors are stored incorrectly, bearing seizure damage can occur, e.g. brinelling, as a
result of vibration.
• Comply with the storage conditions.
Storage conditions
Observe the warning notes and symbols for handling on the packaging and labels.
Store the motor in a dry, dust-free, and vibration-free indoor storage facility.
Adhere to the following values:
• v
rms
< 0.2mm/s
• Max. temperatures: -15°C to 55°C
• Mean relative humidity < 75%
Values apply for storage of up to a maximum of 6 months.
Storage conditions for long-term storage
Long-term storage involves the storage time of 6 months up to a maximum of 2 years.
Note
Storage time of up to a maximum of 2 years
The storage time aects the properties of the rolling bearing grease.
• Complying with the conditions for long-term storage, store the motor for a maximum of 2
years.
For long-term storage, ensure that the following conditions exist.
Climatic ambient conditions ‑15°Cto+55°C
Highest relative humidity < 60%, condensation not permissible
Mechanical ambient conditions Vibration-free storage space, v
rms
< 0.2mm/s
