2.4 Transport, temporary storage
Transport:
For the permissible environmental conditions, which may have an effect on the motor
during transport, please refer to DIN EN 60721-3-2 (class 2K2/2M1). The permissible
temperature range was contrary to the DIN reduced to – 15 °C to + 60 °C.
Suitable load carrying devices must be used, as e.g. belt straps, single slings and so on.
If lifting lugs are provided at the motor, these also can be used for lifting.
Do not use the motor receptacles as transport safety devices or lifting lugs.
The particular country-specific rules must be observed during transport. Lifting devices
as well as transport and load handling devices must meet the requirements.
Please, refer to the technical data concerning the declaration of weight of the individual electric mo-
tors.
The motor shaft and the connection surfaces must be protected against corrosion. The motor must be
transported with a protective cover for the shaft, only. Damages at the motor shaft must be avoided.
Temporary storage:
In case a motor isn’t placed in service within a narrow time frame, it must be stored in dry, low-dust as
well as vibration-resistant indoor spaces (V
eff
≤
0,2mm/s).
The electric motors should not be stored longer than 2 years within a constant temperature range,
which is between -15 and +60 °C. Higher storing temperatures within the scope of the operating tem-
perature accelerate the aging process of the sealings and the bearing greases and therefore affect the
service life prior to commissioning. It is absolutely necessary to avoid solar radiation, ultraviolet light
and ozone, because these also have a share in the aging of the sealing elements!
Please, consider that the warranty periods are assured from the date of delivery. Therefore, we rec-
ommend to limit storage time to a minimum.
However, if a longer storage cannot be avoided, then the environmental conditions (class 1K2/1M1)
mentioned in DIN EN 60721-3-1 must be observed. Contrary to the DIN the temperature range may
be exceeded from – 15 °C to + 60 °C.
