6.6 Setting up the motor spindle
This chapter provides instructions on mounting the motor spindle.
Danger of component destruction caused by contact with hot surfaces
If temperature-sensitive components and cables come into contact with hot motor surfaces,
they can be damaged or destroyed.
• Install temperature-sensitive components and cables so they cannot come into contact
with the hot motor surface.
Instructions on mounting the motor spindle
● Observe the project specifications of the spindle manufacturer.
● Observe the technical specifications on the motor housing rating plate or the details
contained in the machine documentation of the spindle manufacturer.
● Check whether the rating plate details match the conditions pertaining at the installation
location.
● Observe the permitted maximum radial and axial vibration values.
● Ensure that the motor spindle mounting (e.g. foot-flange or mounting foot) has even
contact with the mounting surface. Stresses on the motor spindle are not permitted.
● Turn the output elements by hand.
If a grinding noise occurs, rectify the cause or contact the manufacturer.
Emissions
The motors are certified for a wide range of mounting and operating conditions.
The installation and operating conditions can affect the motor noise.
