10.1 Motor Life and Service Interval Statement
The air motors that are used in ATI deburring/finishing tools are subject to wear and have a finite life.
Motors that fail, during the warranty period, will be repaired or replaced by ATI as long as there is no
evidence of abuse or neglect and that the normal operating practices outlined in this manual have been
observed.
Components such as motor vanes, bearings, any gear reduction components, and collet nuts/chucks are
considered consumable and are not covered by warranty. The customer should expect to service or replace
these items at designated service intervals. For any part that is not detailed in this manual, contact ATI for
part numbers and pricing.
Premature bearing failure can occur from exposing the deburring tool to coolants and water or impacts from
collisions. Other failure modes that are outlined in the manual and relate to improper machining practices
and deburring media selection.
10.1.1 Turbine Motor Products (Flexdeburr (RS) models)
Turbine motors are not serviceable at this time. The expected life of a turbine motor in normal
operation is entirely application dependent based on a multitude of factors. To maximize the life
of turbine motor products, the customer should follow closely the normal operation guide in the
product manual. The supplied air must be totally lube free and filtered to remove particulates
and moisture. Exposing the turbine motors to oil in the air supply results in premature failure.
Premature bearing failure can occur from exposing the deburring tool to coolants and water or
impacts from collisions. Other failure modes are outlined in the manual and relate to improper
machining practices and deburring media selection.
