Siemens SIMOTICS FD 1MQ1, Operating And Installation Instructions

Page: 26 / 182

Drive
The motor speed is controlled using a converter. It has been optimized for operation with
SINAMICS low-voltage converters.
Other converters must comply with certain requirements: You can find more information in the
catalog or in the engineering documentation.
NOTICE
Destruction of the machine when operated directly from the line supply
The machine will be destroyed if it is directly connected to the line supply. Only operate the
machine using a converter.
Cooling
The cooling system is designed as a closed, internal cooling circuit. The heat lost from the
machine is dissipated to the ambient air via the machine's surface. A shaft-mounted fan moves
the cooling air in the primary circuit. Movement of the cooling air in the external circuit is
generated by a separately-driven fan unit.
Degree of protection
The machine is available with degree of protection IP55.
Rolling-contact bearings
The machines are equipped with different types of rolling-contact bearings depending on the
version and the operating conditions described in the order. The different types are listed on the
lubricant plate of the machine. In converter operation an insulated bearing is usually installed
on the non-drive end. The following rolling-contact bearing variants are available:
