S-1FT7 synchronous motors
64 Configuration Manual, 09/2018, A5E45099423B AA
When operated in the speed range 0 to rated speed, 1FT7 motors can reach the following
measuring-surface sound pressure level Lp(A):
Table 3- 18 Sound pressure level
Measuring-surface sound pressure level
Lp(A)
Naturally cooled 1FT703 to 1FT706
1FT708 to 1FT713
65 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance
70 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance
Force-ventilated 1FT706 to 1FT713
73 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance
Water-cooled 1FT706
65 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance
70 dB(A) + 3 dB tolerance
Take into account that the installation and operating conditions, such as rigid or vibration-
isolated foundation structure, influence the noise emission.
The bearings are subject to wear and must be replaced after a defined number of operating
hours.
For average load levels, the bearings must be replaced after approx. 25,000 hours.
Bearing replacement intervals can be extended if the motor is operated under favorable
conditions, e.g. low average speeds, low radial forces (cantilever forces), vibration load.
Note
Harsh operating conditions
If the motor is subject to harsh operating conditions (e.g. continuous operation at n
max
, high
vibration/shock loads, frequent reversing duty etc.), the bearing replacement intervals t
LW
can decrease by up to 50%.
