(Page 69) for all planning, installation, commissioning, and maintenance work.
[ID 2.02]
Switching overvoltages
If vacuum circuit breakers and vacuum contactors are used, what are known as multiple
restrikes can occur when the machine is switched off. This depends on various factors, such
as:
● arc-extinguishing principle of the switch,
● size of the motor,
● length of the power supply cable,
● system capacitance, etc.
CAUTION
Switching overvoltages
In some cases, multiple restrikes can result in switching overvoltages which are too high
for the insulation of the motor stator winding. This occurs when high-voltage motors with
starting currents IA ≤ 600 A are disconnected during startup or following a blockage.
The peak voltages which arise as a result can damage the winding insulation.
If you are using vacuum circuit breakers and vacuum contactors, use an appropriate
surge suppressor, such as the Siemens 3EF (zinc oxide varistor with spark gap).
Example
This current limit corresponds to the following upper power limits, depending on the
relationship between the starting current IA and rated current IN and on the voltage dip (up to
approximately 20%) while the motor is starting up:
● Approximately 750 kW at IN = 3 kV
● Approximately 1500 kW at IN = 6 kV
● Approximately 2500 kW at IN = 10 kV
A limiter to ground is installed in the switchgear between the circuit breaker and the cable
termination for each of the three conductors. The level of protection for the motor windings is
sufficient given the correct choice of limiters (rated motor voltage/response voltage).
[ID 250.01]
WARNING
Interference emissions from very irregular load torque
If the load torque is very irregular (e.g. when driving a reciprocating compressor) a non-
sinusoidal motor current will be induced whose harmonics might bring about an excessive
reaction on the supply system and so cause excessive emitted interference on the power
supply connecting leads.
For example, the operation of heart pacemakers can be impaired, potentially leading to
damage to a person's health or even death. It is therefore forbidden for persons with heart
pacemakers to enter these areas.
The plant operator is responsible for taking appropriate measures (labels and hazard
warnings) to adequately protect operating personnel and others against any possible risk.
WARNING
Interference voltages when operated with frequency converter
If operated on a frequency converter, the emitted interference varies in strength, depending
on the converter (manufacturer, type, interference suppression measures undertaken). On
motors with integrated sensors (e.g. PTC thermistors), interference voltages caused by the
converter may occur on the sensor lead. This can cause faults which can result in eventual
or immediate death, serious injury, or material damage.
In order to avoid exceeding the limit values as per EN 50081 on the drive system (motor
and converter), the EMC information given by the converter manufacturer must be strictly
observed. You must put appropropriate EMC measures in place.
The motor generally fulfills the requirements of interference immunity in conformity with EN
50082. If using motors with integrated sensors, the operator himself must ensure sufficient
interference immunity by selecting a suitable sensor signal lead and a suitable evaluation
unit.
Overview
1RQ6 three-phase AC motors have been designed for a very wide range of drive
applications and also for energy conversion. They are characterized by their ruggedness,
long service life and reliability. They are also extremely versatile, allowing them to be tailored
to the particular function.
Details of the supplied motor and permissible operating conditions should be taken from this
documentation. [ID 6]
Supplementary devices
Temperature sensors are integrated in the stator winding to monitor the winding
temperature. Depending on the options ordered, various supplementary devices can be
installed or attached, e.g., anti-condensation heating in the stator housing or sensors to
monitor storage temperatures.
Construction standards
The motors comply with the following standards:

[ID 1155.01]
4.1.1 Storage
CAUTION
Seizure damage to bearings
If storage conditions are inappropriate there is a risk of bearing seizure damage. This can
result in brinelling, for example.
Read the following storage instructions.
Storing outdoors
Store the motor in a location that meets the following criteria:
● Choose a dry storage location of adequate size which is safe from flooding and free from
vibrations.
● Repair any damage to the packaging before putting the equipment into storage insofar as
this is necessary to ensure proper storage conditions.
● Position motors, devices and crates on pallets, wooden beams or foundations that
guarantee protection against ground dampness.
● Prevent the motor from sinking into the ground.
● Ensure that the air circulation under the equipment is not impeded.
– Covers or tarpaulins used to protect the equipment against the weather must not
make contact with the surfaces of the equipment.
– Covers or tarpaulins must not trail on the floor around the machine.
– Place wooden spacer blocks between the covers and the motor.
Storing indoors
● Store the motor in an area that meets the following criteria:
– Dry, dust-free, frost-free and vibration-free The relative air humidity should be lower
than 60% and the temperature should not drop below -15 °C in accordance with
EN 60034-1.
– Well ventilated
– Offers protection against extreme weather conditions
– The air in the storage area must not contain any harmful
gases. ● Protect the motor from shocks and humidity.
Long-term storage
If you are storing a motor for more than six months, you must check its condition every six
months.
● Check the motor for damage.
● Carry out any necessary maintenance work.
● Document all preservation measures taken so that they can be reversed before the
machines are put back into service.
● Energize anti-condensation heaters (if provided) or otherwise provide a constant
source of low heat to the motor windings, along with forced air ventilation.
Condensate
Condensate can collect in the motor as a result of sharp fluctuations in ambient temperature,
exposure to direct sunlight, high levels of humidity in the storage location or intermittent
operation/variations in load during operation. Make sure that the storage conditions are such
that condensate cannot form in the motor.
CAUTION
Damage due to condensate
If the stator winding is damp, its insulation resistance is reduced. This results in voltage
flashovers, which can destroy the winding. Condensate can also cause rust to form inside
the motor.
Ensure that condensate can drain away.
In the bearing end shields on the drive end and non-drive end, water drainage holes are
situated lower down and opposite the regreasing devices. They are sealed with small plastic
plugs or screws. Depending on the type of installation, the water drainage holes are located
at the bottom.
1. Remove the screws or the plastic plugs regularly to allow the condensate to drain away.
2. Replace them when you have finished.
NOTICE
Degree of protection
The degree of protection of motors with IP54 or higher is nominally reduced to IP44 by
removal of the plastic plug or screw.
[ID 1079.03]
5.2 Installation
Safety instructions
CAUTION
Heat-resistant components
The machine components can become hot during operation. Parts such as cable insulation
can be damaged by the high temperatures.
Only use heat-resistant parts. Temperature-sensitive parts such as normal cables or
electronic components must not be allowed to touch nor be attached to these parts.
Note the technical specifications provided in this documentation and on the plates on the
motor frame.
Cooling
The cooling air must be able to be drawn in and discharged unimpeded; ensure that warm
discharged air is not drawn back in at the air intake.
● On the vertical motor design with air intake from above, the air inlets must be protected
against the ingress of foreign bodies and water. If the ventilation openings have louvered
covers, the openings must face downwards.
● In the case of internally cooled motors that are designed for pipe ventilation and/or
operation with a separately driven fan depending on the intended cooling method, pipes
and fan of an appropriate type of construction and rating must be connected.
● On motors with pipe ventilation, the cooling-air rate, direction of air flow and pressure
drop inside the motor are stated on the rating plate. Shipping covers on the ventilation
openings must be removed.
5.3 Aligning
Requirements
Detailed specialist knowledge of the following measures is required in order to correctly align
and securely fit the equipment.
● Preparing the foundation
● Selecting and mounting the coupling
● Measuring the concentricity and axial eccentricity tolerances
● Positioning
If you are not familiar with the prescribed measures and procedures, then you can make use
of the services offered by the local Siemens Service Center (Page 69).
Alignment accuracy
A diameter of 0.05 mm is required to satisfy the coaxial requirements for the shafts of the
motor and the driven machine. [ID 208.02]
5.4 Mounting
Requirements
Preconditions for smooth, vibration-free operation:
● Stable foundation design as per DIN 4024
● Precision alignment of the motor
● Correct balancing of parts to be fitted to the shaft end.
● ISO 10816-3-compliant vibration velocity
Proceed as follows
● Use machine fixing bolts with the necessary strength class to ISO 898-1 (e.g. 10.9) for
reliable mounting and safe transmission of forces resulting from torque.
● When selecting the bolts and the design of the foundation, take into account the
maximum forces occurring in the case of a fault such as short circuit or system transfers
in phase opposition. The values for the foundation forces can be found in the configuring
documentation or are available on request from the manufacturer.
NOTICE
System-inherent frequencies
If the foundation has not been constructed correctly, frequencies that are inherent to the
foundation can occur after the machine set has been installed (system-inherent
frequencies). This can damage the machine set.
DIN 4024 must be taken into account when constructing the machine foundation.
[ID 15.04x]

Aligning (Page 22)
Balance quality
The rotors are balanced dynamically. For shaft extensions with featherkeys, the balancing
type is specified using the following coding on the face of the drive end of the shaft:
● "H" means balancing with a half feather key
● "F" means balancing with a whole feather key.
WARNING
The feather key can fall out
The featherkeys are only secured during transport to prevent them from falling out. If a
machine with two shaft extensions does not have an output element on one shaft
extension, the feather key can fall out during operation.
Death or serious injury can result.
On shaft extensions without output element, make sure that the feather key cannot fall
out and shorten it by approximately half for balance type "H".

Direction of rotation of the motor when looking at the drive end
If you connect the power cables in the phase sequence L1, L2, L3 to U, V, W, the motor will
rotate clockwise. If two of the connections are swapped, then the motor will rotate
counterclockwise (e.g. L1, L2, L3 to V, U, W).
Note
If you want to run the motor in the opposite direction to the direction stated in the order,
please consult your contact partner at Siemens.
Rotational directions which may be required for application in a particular plant are not
shown on the rating plate. Please take these requirements into consideration when
connecting up the motor.
[ID 1015.01x]
Terminal box
The type designation of the terminal box for connecting the power cables can be found in the
"Technical specifications" section; see "Main terminal box" in the spare parts list for a
diagram of the terminal box.
Normally, in-house terminal boxes are fitted. For special connection systems (e.g. boxes with
segregated phases or plug-and-socket connection), follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of these systems and comply with special conditions laid down in the
certificate.
The in-house terminal boxes are usually certified for type of protection Ex e. In a special
version (which must be specifically ordered), the entry holes may have one or more threads
or holes suitable for the use of screwed joints that must be certified for use in Zone 1. You
must observe the installation and operation conditions specified in the certificate for these
screwed joints and check that they are complied with.
The following conditions for connection with cable lugs are defined in the certificates for in-
house terminal boxes in the section "Connection with cable lugs". They must be observed.

NOTICE
The aluminum flow is determined by contact.
The aluminum flow is determined by contact following installation. The connection with
the clamping nuts can loosen as a result.
Correct this by retightening the clamping nuts after approximately 24 hours and then
again after approximately 4 weeks. Make sure that the terminals are de-energized
before you tighten the nuts.
[ID: 332.02]
6.1.7 Internal equipotential bonding between main terminal box and motor frame
The equipotential bonding connection between the ground terminal in the terminal box
enclosure and the machine housing is established via the terminal box fixing bolts and an
additional grounding cable on the outside.
The contact points for the equipotential bonding connection between the terminal box cover
and the terminal box enclosure are bare metal and protected against corrosion. [ID 1015.02]
Anti-condensation heating
NOTICE
Only run anti-condensation heating when the motor is shut down
Running anti-condensation heating when the motor is in operation can cause motor
temperatures to increase.
Only run anti-condensation heating when the motor is shut down. Include an appropriate
interlocking circuit with the main switch of the machine when installing the electrical system.
Before switching on the machine you should always check that the anti-condensation
heating is not running.

WARNING
Hazardous voltage
During and immediately after measurement of the stator winding insulation resistance,
hazardous voltages can be present at some terminals. Contact with these can result in
death, serious injury or material damage.
Check any power cables connected in order to ensure that the line supply voltage cannot
be fed in. Once you have measured the insulation resistance, discharge the winding by
connecting the ground potential.
NOTICE
Critical insulation resistance reached or undershot
If the critical insulation resistance is reached or undershot, this can result in damage to
the insulation or voltage flashovers.
Dry the windings, or thoroughly clean and dry them (remove the rotor first).
• Once the clean windings have been dried and cooled to almost 25°C, a smaller
insulation resistance will be measured. The insulation resistance can only be
properly assessed after conversion to the reference temperature of 25°C. Allow the
windings to cool down to 25°C, or convert the insulation resistance to the reference
temperature of 25°C
• If the measured value is close to the critical value, you must check the insulation
resistance at suitably frequent intervals.
Measures
The connection cables include a current-dependent overload protection circuit.
You can also monitor the temperature of the machine or the winding with the temperature
sensors in the stator winding, which gives overload protection independent of the current.
Overview
Once the system has been correctly installed, you should check the following prior to
commissioning:
● The machine has been properly installed and aligned.
● The machine is connected so that it rotates in the direction specified.
● The operating conditions correspond to the data specified on the rating plate.
● Any supplementary motor monitoring devices and equipment have been correctly
connected and are fully functional.
● If bearing thermometers have been fitted, the bearing temperatures are checked during
the initial run of the machine and the warning and shutdown values are set on the
monitoring device.
● The output elements are correctly set, e.g.,:
– Couplings are aligned and balanced.
– The belt on the belt drive is tensioned.
– At the gear element, there is gear tooth flank and crest clearance.
– There is radial clearance.
● The minimum insulation resistance values and the minimum air gap values are observed.
● The grounding and equipotential bonding connections have been made correctly.
● Any bearing insulation has been fitted in accordance with the diagram.
● All fixing bolts, connecting elements, and electrical connections have been tightened to
the specified torque.
● The rotor can spin without coming into contact with the stator.
● All touch protection measures for moving and live parts have been taken.
● If the second shaft end is not in use, its featherkey is secured to prevent it from being
thrown out, and cut back to roughly half its length if the rotor has balance type "H"
(standard type). The open shaft end is covered.
● For air cooling:
– All external fans fitted are ready for operation and have been connected so that they
rotate in the direction specified.
– The flow of cooling air is not impeded.
● For water cooling: the cooling water supply is ready for operation.
● All brakes are operating correctly.
● Appropriately configured control and speed monitoring functions ensure that the motor
cannot exceed the permissible speeds specified on the rating plate. See also the plant-
specific documentation.
● While being operated on the converter, the motor cannot exceed the specified upper
speed limit nmax or undershoot the lower speed limit nmin.
If the design of the motor requires that the converter is assigned in a particular way, the
rating plate or certificate will contain corresponding additional information.
● When the motor is switched on, the oil supply pump is running (if the motor has been
configured in this way).
● The rolling-contact bearings have been regreased as appropriate for the model. Rolling-
contact bearing machines which have been in storage for more than one year must be
regreased.
Note
This list does not claim to be exhaustive. It may be necessary to make additional checks
and tests in accordance with the situation specific to the particular place of installation.
[ID 1021.00]
CAUTION
Overvoltages caused by shutting down the motor during startup
Shutting down the motor during startup can cause overvoltages. This can damage the
motor.
Avoid shutting down the motor during startup by, for instance, checking for errors in the
starting control or for excessively sensitive protection settings. Keep shutdowns during
startup for checking the direction of rotation or other tests to an absolute minimum.
[ID 251.02]
WARNING
Do not remove covers when the motor is running
Rotating or live parts are dangerous. Death, serious injury, or material damage can result if
the required covers are removed.
All covers that are designed to prevent active or rotating parts from being touched, ensure
compliance with a particular degree of protection, or that are required for ensuring proper
air guidance and, in turn, effective cooling must not be opened during operation.
WARNING
Faults in operation
Deviations from normal operation such as increased power consumption, temperatures or
vibrations, unusual noises or odors, tripping of monitoring devices, etc., indicate that the
machine is not functioning properly. This can cause faults which can result in eventual or
immediate death, serious injury, or material damage.
Immediately inform the maintenance personnel. If you are in doubt, immediately switch off
the motor, being sure to observe the system-specific safety conditions!
CAUTION
Fire hazard
Certain parts of the motor may reach temperatures above 50 °C. Touching them can result
in burns.
Check the temperature of the parts before touching them and take appropriate protective
measures if necessary.
CAUTION
Risk of corrosion due to condensate
During motor operation, humid air can condense inside the machine. Condensate can
collect inside the motor. Damage such as rust can result.
Depending on the environmental and operating conditions, remove the condensate plugs or
screw plugs to drain the water. When you have finished, reattach the condensate plugs or
screw plugs.
If the motor is equipped with condensate drain holes and draining plugs, the water can
drain off automatically.
[ID 36.03]
CAUTION
Operate the anti-condensation heating only if the motor is shut down
Operating the anti-condensation heating when the motor is running can result it in
overheating. Material damage can result.
Only run anti-condensation heating when the motor is shut down. For this purpose, install
an appropriate interlocking circuit with the main switch of the machine when setting up the
electrical system. Before switching on the machine, ensure that the anti-condensation
heating is de-energized.
[ID 1087.01x]
WARNING
Do not open the bearing insulation bridge
Removing the factory-fitted bridging of the insulated DE bearing leads to potential
differences between the rotor and the grounded motor. This can cause the generation of
sparks, which especially in an explosive atmosphere ignite the surrounding gas. There is
also a risk of an electric shock. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Do not open the bridging of the bearing insulation on the DE side during operation.
If a special variant is used, among other things if the motor is connected to a converter, the
shaft is grounded via a shaft grounding device on the DE or NDE side.
WARNING
Do not bridge the insulation on the insulated bearing
In the case of the version with a shaft grounding device and insulated bearings on the DE
and NDE sides, bridging the insulated bearing results in electric current flowing via the
motor frame and possibly via the coupling to the driven machine. This can lead to death or
serious injury as a result of electric shock, or bearing damage caused by current flowing
through the bearing.
Do not bridge the bearing insulation on the insulated bearing while the machine is running.
Keep the insulation points clean. Use insulated couplings. [ID 199.4]
Procedure
1. Switch off the anti-condensation heating before switching on the motor.
2. See also the note in the "Downtimes" section.
CAUTION
Only run anti-condensation heating when the motor is shut down
Running anti-condensation heating when the motor is in operation can cause motor
temperatures to increase. This can result in material damage.
Only run anti-condensation heating when the motor is shut down. Include an appropriate
interlocking circuit with the main switch of the machine when installing the electrical
system. Before switching on the machine you should always check that the anti-
condensation heating is not running.
8.5 Switch on
Procedure
1. If at all possible, run the machine without load and check that it is running smoothly.
2. If it is running smoothly, connect a load.
3. If this is possible using the available measuring equipment, check the bearing and stator
winding temperatures. [ID 40.02]
8.6 Stoppages
Rolling-contact bearings
● Operate the motor regularly, at least once monthly, in the event of downtimes lasting
more than 1 month, for approximately one minute. Alternatively, turn the rotor as a
minimum. If a rotor shipping brace has been fitted to the machine, remove it before you
spin the rotor.
CAUTION
Damage to the bearings of rolling contact bearing motors when stored over a long
period.
Remaining in the same or almost the same position can damage the rolling contact
bearings.
Turn the rotor at the intervals specified. Ensure that the bearings then come to rest in a
position different from that they were in before. Use the feather key as a reference point.
CAUTION
Storing rolling contact bearing motors for longer than six months
If the motor is not to be used for a period in excess of six months, suitable anti-
corrosion, mothballing, packaging and drying measures must be taken.

DANGER
Risk of electric shock from touching live parts
Electrical parts conduct hazardous voltages. Touching these parts will result in an electric
shock,
which in turn causes death or serious injury.
Before starting work on the machines, make sure that the plant or system has been
disconnected in a manner that is compliant with the appropriate specifications and
regulations. In addition to the main currents, make sure that supplementary and auxiliary
circuits, particularly in heating devices, are also disconnected.
WARNING
Risk of burns
Certain parts of the machine may reach temperatures above 100 °C. Touching them can
result in burns.
Check the temperature of the parts before touching them and take appropriate protective
measures if necessary.
CAUTION
Personal protective gear when using chemical cleaning agents
Chemical cleaning agents can be caustic or give off dangerous fumes.
Contact with skin or breathing in fumes can cause injuries such as chemical burns on the
skin or airways, or skin irritation.
During cleaning, make sure that appropriate methods of extracting fumes are in place and
that personal protective gear such as gloves, goggles, face masks or similar are worn.
If you use chemical cleaning agents, observe the instructions and any warnings given in the
relevant safety data sheet. The chemical cleaning agents used must be compatible with the
machine's components, particularly where plastic components are concerned.
Note
Operating conditions and characteristics can vary widely. For this reason, only general
maintenance intervals can be specified here.
9.1.2 Regreasing intervals and types of grease for operating rolling-contact bearings
Regreasing intervals
The regreasing intervals in operating hours and the grease type are stated on the machine's
lubricant plate. Regardless of the actual number of operating hours reached, the machine
must be regreased at least once a year. The lubrication information can be found on the
lubricant plate.
Grease types
For the standard range of applications, a grease for temperatures down to -20 °C is normally
used for the initial greasing of the bearings. If the motors were ordered for use in the
extended temperature range of below -20 °C, the permissible type of grease is indicated on
the lubrication instruction plate. The following high-quality greases for rolling-contact
bearings are suitable and tested for temperatures down to -20 °C.
K3N greases
ARAL / Aralub 4340
DEA / Glissando 30
ESSO / Beacon 3
ESSO / Unirex N3
FUCHS / Renolit FWA 220
SHELL / Alvania RL3
WINTERSHALL / Wiolub LFK 3
MOBIL / Mobilith SHC 100 CP Nr. 337-161-916 NLGI Nr. 2
SHELL / Cyprina - NLGI Nr. 3
These greases have lithium soap as the thickening agent and mineral oil as the base oil.
They exceed the standard requirements of DIN 51825 in several important respects, and are
therefore compatible with the specified regreasing intervals.
The regreasing intervals should be halved if other K3N greases that possibly only fulfill the
minimum requirements laid down in DIN 51825 are used.
CAUTION
Damage due to mixing lubricant types
Mixing greases and oils which are based on different types of soap or oil can degrade their
lubrication properties.
Mixing low temperature grease with normal temperature grease can cause lumps to form in
the lubricant. This can result in thermal damage to the rolling-contact bearing.
Never mix greases that have different thickening agents and different base oils.
Regreasing
● Clean the grease nipples before regreasing, and then gradually press in an appropriate
type and amount of grease, as per the information on the lubricant plate.
The shaft must rotate so that the new grease can be distributed throughout the bearing.
The bearing temperature rises sharply at first, then drops to the normal value again after
the excess grease has been displaced out of the bearing. The chamber for the used
grease is designed for at least 10 regreasing sessions.
● To remove used grease, loosen the outer bearing cap.
Escaping oil at the bearing or oil escaping during regreasing is an indicator that the space
for the used grease has been over-filled. [ID 1025.01]
CAUTION
Risk of corrosion due to condensation
During machine operation, humid air can condense inside the machine. Condensation
can collect inside the machine. Damage such as rust can result.
Depending on the environmental and operating conditions, remove the condensation
water plugs or screw plugs to drain the water. When you have finished, reattach the
condensation water plugs or screw plugs.
If the motor is equipped with condensate drain holes and draining plugs, the water can
drain off automatically.
[ID 1087.01]
9.1.4 Servicing
Note
Observe the regreasing intervals for the rolling-contact bearings
The regreasing intervals for rolling-contact bearings are different from the inspection
intervals. Failure to regrease the rolling-contact bearings at the specified intervals can result
in them sustaining damage.
Note
Remove spent grease before regreasing
The rolling-contact bearing's spent grease chamber only has room for a limited amount of
spent grease. When the spent grease chamber is full, the spent grease must be removed
before regreasing; otherwise it will escape into the interior of the machine. Escaping oil at the
bearing or oil escaping during regreasing is an indicator that the space for the spent grease
is full. [ID 53.01]
CAUTION
If you detect any defects or malfunctions during the inspection, you must rectify them
immediately. They may otherwise cause damage to the machine.
9.2.1 Dismantling
Note
If the motor has to be transported, please observe the information and instructions in the
chapter titled "Transport and storage".
Procedure
1. The drawings and parts lists do not contain any detailed information about the type and
dimensions of fixing elements. For this reason, you should establish this information
when dismantling them and make a note of it for the purpose of reassembly.
2. Before pulling off any parts that have been screwed on, replace two of the fixing bolts at
the top with excessively long or threaded bolts. This ensures that the part is supported
after it is pulled off.
3. Use forcing-off bolts or suitable devices to disassemble parts and components attached
to the motor shaft.
4. Before lifting off the upper part of the housing, loosen the equipotential bonding conductor
and the fixing bolts on the stator housing. Only use the lifting lugs welded onto the upper
part of the housing to lift it. The weight of the upper part of the housing can be found in
the "Technical data" section.
5. Observe the following when attaching the rotor: The centering recesses in the shaft ends
have recessed threads, i.e. DIN 580 eye-bolts are unsuitable to attach the rotor because
only a few threads would be engaged. Depending on the rotor weight and load direction,
if required, use other suitable elements with a screw-in depth of > 0.8 x thread diameter.
WARNING
Rotor can fall out
If the motor is in a vertical position, the rotor can fall out while work is being performed
on the locating bearing. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Support or unload the rotor when carrying out work with the machine in a vertical
position.

Preparations for use (Page 17)
Dismounting
Only remove the upper part of the enclosure when it is in a horizontal position.
WARNING
The upper part of the enclosure can fall down
The bracket stops the upper part of the enclosure from falling. If the bracket is removed
when the machine is in a vertical position, or if the machine is placed in a vertical position
without the upper part of the enclosure secured by the bracket, the upper part of the
enclosure can fall. Death, serious injury, or material damage can result.
Only remove the bracket when the machine is in a horizontal position.
1. In machines of vertical construction type, remove the bracket for the upper part of the
enclosure when the machine is horizontal.
2. Do not remove the fixing screws on the machine enclosure until then.
3. When assembling the machine, replace the bracket before the machine is placed in a
vertical position. Lock the bolts.
● Only use the lifting lugs welded onto the upper part of the housing to lift it. The weight of
the upper part of the housing can be found in the "Technical specifications" section.
● Before lifting off the upper part of the housing, loosen the equipotential bonding conductor
and the fixing bolts on the stator housing.
Assembly
● Fit the air intake cowl before the upper part of the enclosure. Only fit the upper part of the
enclosure and the air intake cowl when the machine is in a horizontal position.
● Do not change the arrangement of the flexible components underneath the bolt heads.
● Apply a soluble adhesive to the set screws e.g. Loctite 243. Tighten the set screws so
that the joins with the stator housing are tight all the way round.
● Only use the hoisting lugs welded onto the upper part of the enclosure to lift it. The weight
of the upper part of the housing can be found in the "Technical specifications" section.
● After putting it down, secure the equipotential bonding conductors and the fixing screws
on the stator housing.
● When securing, ensure that the tensioning straps and the spherical disks are arranged
correctly. Tightening torque for the fixing screws is 10Nm.
WARNING
Rotating or live parts
Live electrical parts are dangerous. Contact with them can cause death, serious injury or
material damage.
Before carrying out any maintenance work on the fan, disconnect the mains connection,
particularly before opening the terminal box. Make sure that the device cannot be switched
back on.
Dismounting
The fan cowl is made of sheet steel and welded together.
● Before the fan cowl is removed, unscrew the terminal box for the speed sensor
completely so that it is not necessary to undo the connections.
Assembly
● When fitting the fan cowl, make sure that the retaining components are correctly installed.
● Check that there is a uniform gap of at least 2mm between the fan impeller and the air
inlet nozzle.
● Before you bolt on the protective screen when assembling, make sure that the deflecting
baffle with nozzle at the air intake opening is adjusted by means of the clamping pins
provided. The radial gap between the air inlet nozzle and the fan impeller should be at
least 2 mm.
Dismounting
● Before pulling off the fan, disengage the two tongues hold them provisionally in the raised
position, e.g. by means of inserted shim plates.
● Pull off the fan The fan discs each have two openings for the insertion of a pull-off device,
which should be applied so as to act on the hub. Always use a suitable device for pulling
off and pushing on. Do not use a hammer under any circumstances.
Assembly
● Before pushing the fan onto the shaft, make sure that the two integrally molded tongues
which provide axial location in the annular groove are intact.
● Push the fan onto the shaft.
Dismounting
Apply a protective coating to the shaft in front of and underneath the labyrinth ring to prevent
corrosion; the three locating setscrews are secured with adhesive (e.g. Loctite 243).
● Unscrew the three radially arranged setscrews that ensure axial retention of the ring.
● Screw suitable bolts or screws into the radial threads for pulling off. Be aware of the
length of the thread, in order to avoid catching on the shaft or damage to the thread.
● Warm the labyrinth ring as you pull it off.
Assembly
Figure 9-2 Position of the locating setscrews on the labyrinth ring on the outer bearing cap
● Apply a soluble adhesive to the three set screws such as Loctite 243) and screw them
partially into the labyrinth ring.
● Apply a coating of anti-corrosion agent to the shaft in the vicinity of the labyrinth ring.
● Before the anti-corrosion agent or the adhesive harden, push the labyrinth ring onto the
set screws up to about 3 mm away from the bearing cap and turn the set screws to
secure them. Check that the tips of the set screws engage with the keyway with a short
axial movement.
The correct axial position is obtained when the locating setscrews screwed into the
keyway engage.
Dismounting
1. Mark the components of the bearing units so that they can be correctly assembled.
2. When dismantling the V ring, do not dismantle the pressed-in protecting ring.
3. Remove the V ring and bearing cap/end shield from the shaft.
4. Using an appropriate tool, push out the protecting ring. Make sure you do not distort the
shape of the ring when you are doing this.
Assembly
1. During installation, ensure that the seating on the shaft is not greased, but that the axial
sealing surface is greased.
Procedure
● Before installing new felt rings in the bearing cover, soak them in hot oil (approximately
80°C), such as DIN 51517-C100 lubricating oil.
● Dimension the felt ring so that the shaft can move freely, but is still tightly enclosed by the
ring.
● Place the felt ring into its notch on the bearing cap and push the bearing cap onto the
shaft.
Procedure
● Extreme caution and attention to cleanliness are vital to installation.
● Clean bare parts, e.g., between housings, end shields, and bearing bushes, and apply a
non-setting permanently plastic sealing agent such as Hylomar MQ32. Follow the
manufacturer's application and safety notes when doing this.
● Check the elasticity and age of all sealing elements, such as those on the terminal boxes,
and renew them if they are no longer effective.
Tightening torques
The bolted connections with metal contact surfaces (end shields, bearing cartridge parts,
terminal box parts bolted onto the stator frame) should be tightened to the following torques,
depending on the thread size.
Table 9-2 Tightening torques for bolted connections with a tolerance of ±10%.
The tightening torques in the different rows apply to the following cases:
● Case A
Applies to electrical connections in which the permissible torque is normally limited by the
bolt materials and/or the current carrying capacity of the insulators, with the exception of
the busbar connections in case B.
● Case B
Applies to bolts made from lower-strength components (e.g., aluminum) or of property
class 8.8 (acc. to ISO 898-1).
● Case C
Applies to bolts of property class 8.8 or A4-70 (acc. to ISO 898-1), but only in connections
made from higher-strength components (e.g., gray cast iron, steel or cast steel).
Please refer to the relevant sections and drawings for all other tightening torques (electrical
connections and bolted connections for parts with flat gaskets). [ID 78.01]
