Maintenance Intervals
NOTE
Component failure due to vibration damage!
During operation, vibrations can cause screw and clamp connections to become loose or
the device to be exposed to severe strain, thus possibly resulting in a component failure.
The failure of components or a device malfunction can cause material damage and
consequential damage.
Check the installed device for loose connections at regular intervals.
Pay attention to vibration damage during maintenance and inspection.
Adapt the maintenance intervals according to the operating conditions of the plant.
After start-up, start with short maintenance intervals at first.
If no damage occurs, the maintenance intervals can be adapted incrementally until
the intervals specified in the instructions are reached.
Maintenance Intervals and Methods
Reduce the maintenance intervals by 30% in the event of:
–
vibrations that occur in the plant that are NOT caused by the device and CANNOT be
prevented.
If the device is NOT operated for a longer period, we recommend that you check the device completely
before restarting it to make sure that it is fully functional (see
Section 6.2 Function Check / Trial Run
Service life of the ball bearings
The integrated ball bearings in the TANKO-EX series are subject to low wear.
The typical service life with the following standard parameters
–
vertical installation position of the actuator downwards, cleaning device carrier horizontal
–
water as the cleaning medium
–
medium pressure of 3 bar (44 psi)
–
medium temperature of 25 °C (77 °F)
is equivalent to a service life of 300 hours.
With a typical cleaning cycle time of 20 minutes per day and 200 days per year, that results in a
product service life of 4.5 years.
For the attached TANKO-EX-S or TANKO-EX-RB cleaning heads, please take the parameters from the
operating instructions for TANKO-EX-S/-EX-RB. Please note that if the actuator is installed vertically
downwards, the attached TANKO-EX-S or –EX-RB are in a horizontal installation position.
