Long-term storage
Observe the storage conditions
Store the gear unit in a dry, clean interior room protected against
UV radiation. Temperature changes with formation of condensa-
tion, shocks or vibrations are to be avoided.
Failure to comply with the specified storage conditions may result in
changes in the processed materials and surfaces on and in the
gear unit.
Observe storage times
Ensure suitable storage conditions if the gear units are not installed
directly.
For storage times of more than one year, up to two years:
- Provide shafts and bare surfaces with corrosion protection
- Store the gear units in a horizontal position
Failure to comply with the specified storage conditions and storage
times may result in changes in the processed materials and sur-
faces on and in the gear unit.
Prevent the formation of condensation
Ensure a constant ambient temperature in the range from 0°C to
+40°C at the storage location. Avoid high humidity.
Failure to comply may result in the formation of condensation. Con-
densation can cause damage in later operation or rust formation on
the gear unit.
You have the possibility to store the gear unit in a horizontal position
and a dry environment over a short or long period. For storage we
always recommend the original packaging. Observe the conditions
specified in chapter: Transport and storage.
