Storage
Caution!
Damage caused by degraded material properties.
Storage for long periods of time or storage under improper conditions can cause certain materials to
age prematurely, to have degraded properties and to become damaged. Damaged components can
then result in further damage to property.
Recommendations to avoid damage during storage:
•
Reduce the storage time to a minimum and do not exceed the maximum storage time of 2 years.
•
Rotate the motor shaft a few turns at least every 6 months either by hand or at a low speed
(max. 50 rpm). Bearing noise can occur during the run-in phase, which is perfectly normal and
is not a sign of bearing damage.
•
Apply a preservative coating to unprotected components such as the shaft end.
•
Avoid contact corrosion.
•
Use the original packaging.
•
Use covers to protect against dust.
•
Check the seals for damage when the item is issued or prior to use.
