Main constituents of a proper disposal procedure
● Complete demagnetization of the components that contain permanent magnets
● Components that are to be recycled should be separated into:
–
Electronics scrap (e.g. encoder electronics, Sensor Modules)
– Electrical scrap (e.g. motor windings, cables)
– Scrap iron (e.g. laminated cores)
– Aluminum
– Insulating materials
● No mixing with solvents, cold cleaning agents, or residue of paint, for example
A.3.2.2 Disposing of 1FW6 rotors
WARNING
Risk of death and crushing as a result of permanent magnet fields
Severe injury and material damage can result if you do not take into consideration the
safety instructions relating to permanent magnet fields.
• Observe the information in Chapter "Danger from strong magnetic fields (Page 32)".
Disposing of and demagnetizing 1FW6 rotors
The magnetized rotors must be subject to a special thermal disposal procedure so that they
do not pose any risk during or after disposal. For this reason, they must be disposed of by a
specialist disposal company.
Once the motor has been dismantled, the rotors must be packaged individually in the
undamaged original packaging in accordance with the relevant guidelines.
Demagnetizing the rotors
Disposal companies who specialize in demagnetization use special disposal furnaces. The
interior of the disposal furnace is made of non-magnetic material.
The secondary sections are placed inside a solid, heat-resistant container (such as a
skeleton container), which is made of non-magnetic material and left in the furnace during
the entire demagnetization procedure. The temperature in the furnace must be at least
300 °C over a holding time of at least 30 minutes.
Escaping gases must be collected and decontaminated without damaging the environment.
