Environmental Protection and Disposal
The disposal of the motor components can be done in the normal recycling
process under consideration of the respective valid national regulations.
Recycling
Most of the products can be recycled due to their high content of metal. In
order to recycle the metal in the best possible way, the products must be dis‐
assembled into individual assemblies. Metals contained in electric and elec‐
tronic assemblies can also be recycled by means of special separation pro‐
cesses.
Significant motor components
Basically, our motors consist of the following components:
●
Steel, aluminum, cupper, brass
●
Plastics, insulating and composite material
●
Electronic components
●
Permanent magnets
Plastic parts of the products may contain flame retardants. These plastic
parts are labeled according to EN ISO 1043. They have to be recycled sepa‐
rately or disposed of according to the applicable legal provisions.
Danger due to permanent magnets!
WARNING
Health hazard for persons with heart pacemakers, metallic
implants and hearing aids in direct environment of permanent
magnets.
Crushing hazard of fingers and hand due to heavy attrac‐
tive forces of the magnets.
Risk of destruction of sensitive parts such as watches,
credit cards, ... .
The permanent magnets on the rotor must be demagnetized be‐
fore disposal to avoid injuries or damage.
Dismagnetize magnets
The dismagnetization of the magnets on the rotor is reached via a special
thermal handling. The handling duration is influenced by the frame size of the
rotor. The rotor must remain for 30 minutes in the oven, starting at the time,
the magnetic surface has reached 300 °C. If the magnets are surrounded by
a bandage, we recommend to remove them before heating-up the rotor in an
oven to unfold the magnets.
In the case of successful demagnetization, the magnets can be
separated from the rotor sleeves after cooling of the rotor without
any effort.
Packaging
Out packaging materials do not contain any problematic materials and can be
recycled without any problems. Wood, cardboard and styrofoam are used as
packaging materials.
Batteries and Accumulators
Batteries and accumulators can be labeled with this symbol.
