4 · GLOBE RM410 PISTON AIR MOTOR MANUAL| INCLUDING AUXILIARIES | ATEX Certified
»
Read the air motor label to verify that the
air motor is designed for use in hazardous
applications:
•
Hazardous zone
•
Hazardous category
•
Equipment group
•
Temperature class
•
Maximum surface temperatures
»
Check the air motor before installation and
operation to see if it’s not damaged.
»
Any products that are driven by the air motor
must meet appropriate ATEX approval as well
to be used in a hazardous area.
»
The air motor should be connected to the
earth with a maximum earth resistance of
1Mohm. The motor can be earthed by con-
necting the motor to a base plate/gearbox
etc.
»
The ambient temperature range of the motor
(-20°C to +60°C) should be observed at all
times.
»
When mounting the motor on a construction
or when something is mounted on the shaft of
the air motor, make sure that the alignment is
straight to prevent too much force on the shaft.
»
An air filter should be placed in the airline
with at least 64 micron near the air motor.
»
Clean surface of air motor unit thoroughly of
all dustproofing products, contaminants and
other impurities. Do this outside the hazardous
area or clean only with a damp cloth.
»
A lubricator must be placed inside the main
airline near the motor. The lubricator unit
should have a bowl with enough oil for
operation and should allow the user to control
the amount of oil drop per minute going to
the motor.
»
Check airline oil every time before starting.
Air motor should be supplied with oil of a
viscosity of 32. This type of oil is flammable at
a temperature of 218°C.
»
Air supply to the motor should always be
taken from non-hazardous area.
»
In case the motor is exposed to high vibrati-
ons during operation and when not in opera-
tion, please contact GLOBE. High vibrations
might lead to increased inspection interval of
the bearings.
»
It’s important that no dust or debris can accu-
mulate at the output shaft. This may damage
the shaft seal. The GLOBE Piston Motor is
only allowed in horizontal position or shaft
pointing vertical downwards. It is not allowed
for the shaft to point in any angle upwards.

WARNING: POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD
Before use clean only with damp cloth. Avoid electrostatic charging mechanisms
stronger than manual rubbing. Do not subject the equipment to external conditions
that could cause build-up of electrostatic charges.
