2.4 Responsibility of the operator

Operator The operator is the person who either operates the machine them-
selves, for commercial or business purposes, or who assigns the
use of the machine to a third party. During operation, the operator
holds legal responsibility pertaining to the product, for the protec-
tion of the user, personnel and third parties.
Operator’s obligations The machine is used for commercial purposes. The operator of the
machine is thus subject to the applicable legal obligations for occu-
pational safety.
Alongside the safety instructions in this manual, the safety, occupa-
tional and environmental regulations relevant to the field of applica-
tion for the machine must also be complied with.
The operator is obligated to:
n Inform themselves about the applicable occupational protection
regulations. As part of a hazard assessment, the operator must
also establish the hazards that could result from special
working conditions at the machine location. They must imple-
ment these for the operation of the machine in the form of
operating instructions. The necessary safety data sheets can
be obtained from the relevant manufacturer.
n During the entire service life of the machine, check that the
operating instructions created by the manufacturer correspond
to the current status of the applicable regulations. If necessary,
adjust the operating instructions accordingly.
n Clearly structure and specify the responsibilities for installation,
operation, fault rectification, maintenance and cleaning.
n Ensure that all persons who come into contact with the
machine have read and understood these instructions. In addi-
tion, the operator must regularly provide personnel training and
inform personnel of the related hazards.
n Provide personnel with the necessary protective equipment
and communicate to them that wearing this protective equip-
ment is compulsory.
In addition, the operator is responsible for ensuring that the
machine is in perfect technical condition.
For this reason, the following applies:
n The maintenance intervals described in this instruction manual
must be complied with.
n All safety devices must be regularly inspected to ensure they
are in good working order.

Operating modes
3.2 Operating principle

The medium to be conveyed is connected using an elastic rubber
sleeve or the compensator of the discharge-side connection
casing.
The medium to be conveyed enters through the intake silencer.
This offers the possibility of an intake-side pipe connection. There
is a replaceable filter element located inside the intake silencer.
Dirt levels in the filter element can be displayed using a service
indicator or the control system display.
The positive displacement blower conveys and compresses the
medium to be conveyed. The medium then flows through the dis-
charge silencer, via a non-return flap, into the customer’s system.
The positive displacement blower is powered by a drive motor
using a belt drive. The belt drive derives tension automatically from
the weight of the motor. The drive motor is powered by connecting
its power lines in the terminal box.
A safety valve is installed on the base support or on the connection
housing. The working pressure can be displayed by a pressure
gauge or in the control system screen.
The acoustic hood is ventilated by a fan.
3.3 Operating modes

On-site operation Operation of the machine is carried out directly on site.
Remote operation Operation of the machine is carried out via control station.
Automatic operation Automatic operation of the machine is carried out by sensors or a

system switch.
Load operation Load operation is the operating mode in which the machine pro-
cesses the specified operating data.

Description of assemblies
3.4 Application ranges

3.4.1 Operating information for pneumatic conveyance
Pneumatic conveyance When the machine is being used for the purposes of pneumatic
conveyance, pressure surges must not occur when switching
between different delivery lines.
Pressure surges can be prevented by making the switching
process for the intake-side and discharge-side valves take at least
five seconds. This pre-accelerates the gas column in the pipework.
The gas can no longer accelerate suddenly. This prevents damage
to the machine.
The distance between the switchover valve and the intake-side
flange must be at least 10 x DN. DN = nominal diameter of the
pipework.
This safety note applies to both positive pressure operation and
vacuum operation.
3.4.2 Operating information for air-separation systems

Air-separation systems When the machine is being used in air-separation systems with
alternating air-separation columns, pressure surges must not occur
when switching between different delivery lines.
Pressure surges can be prevented by making the switching
process for the intake-side and discharge-side valves take at least
five seconds. This pre-accelerates the gas column in the pipework.
The gas can no longer accelerate suddenly. This prevents damage
to the machine.
The distance between the switchover valve and the intake-side
flange must be at least 10 x DN. DN = nominal diameter of the
pipework.
This safety note applies to both positive pressure operation and
vacuum operation.

Accessories > Frequency converter
3.7.3 Frequency converter

Description
Observe the frequency converter manufacturer’s
instruction manual!
NOTICE!
– If the electric motor is driven by frequency con-
verters, we strongly recommend using an
motor throttle and power choke. These are
specifically designed for the frequency con-
verter and filter dangerous harmonics from the
drive current. This prevents damage to the
motor winding. The electromagnetic compati-
bility of the system is also improved. Reactions
of the frequency converter in the current are
reduced.
– The maximum current limit of the motor must
not be exceeded. Observe the information on
the motor’s rating plate.
– To prevent operational faults the function “Inter-
ception circuit” must not be parameterised in
the control of the frequency converter. When
the frequency converter is switched off, a
restart should only be possible after a complete
shut-down of the machine.
– The machine must shutdown without braking.
The activation of a brake ramp or quick stop is
not permissible.
For machine use, observe the fol- n Take into account the electrical and mechanical properties of
lowing the drive motor.
n Set the fixed minimal frequency. This frequency must never fall
below the fixed minimum during operation.
n The maximum frequency is to be set by taking into account the
maximum rotational speed of the motor and the maximum
machine speed.
n The run-up time of the drive motor from standstill up to min-
imum speed can be 3‑6 seconds.
n The frequency converter must be designed with a constant
load torque for operation with a working machine.
n Never exceed maximum or drop below minimum speed thresh-
olds.
n When exceeding the value, e.g. due to excessively long
cables, frequency converter type etc. a motor throttle or motor
filter coil that matches the frequency converter is to be used.

Accessories > Maintenance indicator
NOTICE!
Not using the motor throttle or motor filter can lead
to damage of the motor isolation and a motor
breakdown.
n The highest admissible voltage increase speed of the motor is

1,200 V/μs.
n The rotational changeover speed must not exceed 1 Hz per
second during operation.
n Minimum frequency = 20 Hz // maximum frequency = 50 Hz
results in a control time of 30 seconds.
Pole changing For a motor speed changeover from a high to a low speed, the
drive motor must have reached zero rotational speed each time.
Changeover from a low to a high speed can take place directly and
instantaneously.

10 Disassembly and disposal

Protecting the environment and conserving resources are among
the manufacturer’s foremost priorities.
Once the machine’s service life is over, it must be disassembled
and disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way. The following
is a set of recommendations for environmentally-friendly disposal.
Improper disassembly
WARNING!
Risk of injury from improper disassembly!
Stored residual energy, sharp components, edges
and corners on or in the machine or on the neces-
sary tools can cause injury.
– Before beginning work, ensure there is suffi-
cient space.
Allow the machine to cool down to the ambient
temperature.
– Proceed with caution when working with open,
sharp-edged components.
– Ensure the tidiness and cleanliness of the
workspace! Components and tools that are
loosely stacked or lying around can cause acci-
dents.
– Disassemble components correctly. Take into
consideration the weight of each component. If
necessary, use hoists.
– Secure components, so they do not topple or
fall.
– If in doubt, contact the manufacturer.
Electric current
DANGER!
Disassembly of live components can cause serious
or fatal injury.
– Switch off the power to the operating cable.
– Check there is no live current.

Lube oil specifications
Choice of lubricant
When operating the machine, only use lubricants
that comply with this specification!
The quality of lube oil has a considerable effect on the service life
of the machine.
When selecting a lube oil, the application conditions and the rele-
vant additives and viscosity class are decisive.
158 182870_10 / 1205729 08.05.2019

Technical data
Taking the operating conditions into account, only use the following
lube oils with the corresponding viscosities and additives.
* Ambient temperature = the temperature in the immediate vicinity
of the machine all year round.
Low-load operation Using these machines for "low-load operation with minor pres-
sure differences" requires prior consultation with AERZEN Cus-
tomer Service or the sales company. To select a suitable lubricant,
the operating conditions, load and operating data need to be taken
into account.

The AERZEN lubricants (Delta Lube 06, AERZEN special rotary
piston oil) are fully compatible with fully synthetic PAO lubricants.
Measures: If you change to another lube oil, no specific measures
need be taken. However, to preserve the working properties of the
new lube oil, the lube oil that is replaced should be drained com-
pletely. After an operating time of 100 hours, the lube oil and the oil
filter (if any) must be replaced once. Only lube oil of the same type
should be used for topping up.

Operating materials > Lube oils in the food and pharmaceutical industry
The AERZEN lubricants (Delta Lube 06, AERZEN special rotary

piston oil) as well as PAO lubricants are not compatible with poly-
glycol oils (PAG) or perfluorinated polyether oils, e.g. Fomblin.
Measures: In order to change the lube oil type, the machine must
be completely dismantled and the entire oil system thoroughly
cleaned of residue. A rinsing is recommended before initial com-
missioning. Only lube oil of the same type should be used for top-
ping up.
11.7.2 Lube oils in the food and pharmaceutical industry

For a positive displacement blower, lube oils can be used which
have approval according to the specification USDA H1.

11.10.2 Balancing grade

Balancing type
The vibration behaviour of the machines is deter-
mined not only by the balancing grade of the drive
shafts but also by the balancing grade of the drive
elements.
The drive shafts of the pistons and rotors are balanced according
to the half-key principle. Sheaves and couplings must therefore
correspond to balancing type “H”.

Glossary
13 Glossary
·AERZEN safety valve Component in pneumatic systems for limiting the maximum
permissible pressure and for safeguarding the machine.
AERZEN safety valves may only be operated in conjunction
with a product that has been manufactured by AERZEN!
AERZEN safety valves fulfill the function of a pressure valve.
They are not designed to fulfill a safety function.
·Belt run The belt section between two sheaves is termed a “belt run”.
·Discharge temperature Temperature measured at the discharge sockets of the
machine stage.
·EMERGENCY STOP function A function intended to alleviate the danger of impending haz-
ards in terms of injury or damage to persons and machines
during operation, or to reduce the danger of hazards that are
already present.
A function that is activated by one single action by an indi-
vidual person.
The purposeful shut-down of the machine to avoid a dan-
gerous situation. Voltage-carrying components are still
active.
EMERGENCY STOP.
·Machine A machine is an assembly of linked parts or components, at
least one of which moves. A machine is fitted or intended to
be fitted with a drive system. The machine has a proper
intended use and is assembled for a specific purpose.
Another technical term for “machine” is “unit”.
·Machine stage A machine stage is an incomplete machine. It is an
assembly that almost constitutes a machine, but that does
not fulfil a specific function. A machine stage is only intended
to be installed in and added to other machines or other
incomplete machines.
·Sentinel filter A sentinel filter is another filter downstream from a filter.
It fulfills an end cleaning function and a safety function.
·Stop category 0 Stop category 0.
Shut-down by means of immediate interruption of the power
supply to the machine.
Performs a shut-down by means of mechanical disconnec-
tion (uncoupling) of components that pose a danger and
their mechanical drive elements and, if necessary, performs
a braking procedure.

2.5 Interference voltages when operating the

converter
WARNING
Interference voltages when operating the converter
When a converter is in operation, the emitted interference varies in strength
depending on the converter (manufacturer, type, interference suppression
measures undertaken). On machines 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.
Observe the EMC instructions of the converter manufacturer in order to avoid
exceeding the limit values according to IEC/EN 61000-6-3 for drive systems
comprising machine and converter. You must put appropriate EMC measures in
place.

236 182870_10 / 1205729 08.05.2019

Accessories
Preparing for use
Storing indoors
The storage rooms must provide protection against extreme weather conditions.
They must be dry, free from dust, frost and vibration and well ventilated.
Bare metal surfaces

For transport, the bare surfaces (shaft ends, flange surfaces, centering edges)
should be coated with an anti-corrosion agent which will last for a limited amount of
time (<6 months). Apply suitable anti-corrosion measures for longer storage times.
Condensation drain hole

Open any condensation drain holes to drain the condensation depending on the
environmental conditions, every six months at the latest.
Storage temperature
Permissible temperature range: -20 °C to +50 °C
The relative humidity of the air should be less than 60 %.
For machines that have a special design regarding the coolant temperature in the
operating state or the installation altitude, other conditions could apply regarding the
storage temperature. In this case, refer to the machine rating plate for data on the
coolant temperature and installation altitude.
Storage time
Turn the shafts 1x every year to avoid bearing brinelling. Prolonged storage periods
reduce the useful life of the bearing grease (aging).
Open bearings
● For open bearings, e.g. 1Z, check the status of the grease when stored for longer
than 12 months.
● Replace the grease if it is identified that the grease has lost its lubricating
properties or is polluted. The consistency of the grease will change if
condensation is allowed to enter.
Closed bearings
● For sealed bearings, replace the DE and NDE bearings after a storage time of 48
months.

NOTICE
Storage
The motor can be damaged if you use it or store it unprotected outdoors.
• Protect the motor against intensive solar radiation, rain, snow, ice and dust. Use
a superstructure or additional cover, for example.
• If required, contact the Siemens Service Center, or technically coordinate
outdoors use.
4.5 Electromagnetic compatibility

Note
If the torque levels are very unequal (e.g. when a reciprocating compressor is being
driven), a non-sinusoidal machine current will be induced whose harmonics can have
an impermissible effect on the supply system and cause impermissible interference
emissions as a result.
Note
Converter
• If operated with a frequency converter, the emitted interference varies in strength,
depending on the design of the converter (type, interference suppression
measures, manufacturer).
• Avoid that the specified limit values stipulated for the drive system (consisting of
the motor and converter) are exceeded.
• You must observe the EMC information from the manufacturer of the converter.
• The most effective method of shielding is to conductively connect a shielded
machine supply cable to the metal terminal box of the machine (with a metal
screw connection) over a large surface area.
• On machines with integrated sensors (e.g. PTC thermistors), disturbance
voltages caused by the converter may occur on the sensor cable.

4.6 Converter operation

4.6.1 Parameterizing the converter
● If the design of the motor requires connection to a particular converter type, the
rating plate will contain corresponding additional information.
● Correctly parameterize the converter. Parameterizing data can be taken from the
machine rating plate (not the supplementary rating plate with the operating data
when connected to a converter).
You can find parameter data here:
– In the operating instructions for the converter.
– In the SIZER engineering tool
– In the SINAMICS Configuration Manuals.
– For explosion-protected machines, also in the declaration of compliance with
the order 2.1.
● Do not exceed the specified maximum speed limit nmax. You can either find this
on the rating plate nmax, under the supplementary plate for converter operation as
the highest speed, or in Catalog D81.1.
● Check that it is guaranteed that the machine is cooled for commissioning.
4.6.2 Reducing bearing currents during operation with

converter (low voltage)
Taking the following actions will reduce the bearing currents:
● Ensure that the contacts are established over a large area. Solid copper cables
are not suitable for high frequency grounding because of the skin effect.
Equipotential bonding conductors:
Use equipotential bonding conductors:
● Between motor and driven machine
● Between motor and converter
● Between the terminal box and the RF grounding point at the motor enclosure.
Selecting and connecting the cable:
As far as possible, use symmetrically arranged, shielded connection cables. The
cable shielding, made up of as many strands as possible, must have good electrical
conductivity. Braided shields made of copper or aluminum are very suitable.
● The shield is connected at both ends, at the motor and converter.

08.05.2019 182870_10 / 1205729 239

Accessories
Preparing for use
● To ensure good discharging of high-frequency currents, provide contacting over a

large surface area:
– as contact established through 360° at the converter
– at the motor, for instance with EMC glands at the cable entries
● If the cable shield is connected as described, then it ensures the specified
equipotential bonding between the motor enclosure and converter. A separate RF
equipotential bonding conductor is then not necessary.
Concentric copper or aluminum shield Steel armor

● If the cable shield is not connected due to special secondary conditions, or not
adequately connected, then the specified equipotential bonding is not provided. In
this particular case, use a separate RF equipotential bonding conductor:
– Between the motor enclosure and protective ground rail of the converter.
– Between motor enclosure and driven machine
– Use braided flat copper straps or high-frequency cables with finely-stranded
conductors for the separate RF equipotential bonding cable. Solid copper
cables are not suitable for high frequency grounding because of the skin
effect.
– Ensure that the contacts are established over a large area.
Overall system design

To specifically reduce and prevent damage caused by bearing currents, you must
consider the system as a whole, which comprises the motor, converter, and driven
machine. The following precautions help to reduce bearing currents:
● In the overall system, set up a properly meshed grounding system with low
impedance.
● Use the common-mode filter (damping cores) at the converter output. The
Siemens sales representative is responsible for selection and dimensioning.
● Limit the rise in voltage by using output filters. This dampens the harmonic
content in the output voltage.

The following information is provided regarding the state of the winding insulation:
● Is the winding head insulation conductively contaminated?
● Has the winding insulation absorbed moisture?
As such, you can determine whether the machine needs commissioning or any
necessary measures such as cleaning and/or drying the winding:
● Can the machine be put into operation?
● Must the windings be cleaned or dried?
Detailed information on testing and the limit values can be found here:
"Testing the insulation resistance and polarization index" (Page 74)
5.1.2.2 Testing the insulation resistance and polarization index
WARNING
Hazardous voltage at the terminals
During and immediately after measuring the insulation resistance or the
polarization index (PI) of the stator winding, hazardous voltages may be
present at some of the terminals. Contact with these can result in death,
serious injury or material damage.
• If any power cables are connected, check to make sure line supply
voltage cannot be delivered.
• Discharge the winding after measurement until the risk is eliminated,
e.g. using the following measures:
– Connect the terminals with the ground potential until the recharge
voltage drops to a non-hazardous level
– Attach the connection cable.
Measure the insulation resistance

1. Before you begin measuring the insulation resistance, please read the operating
manual for the insulation resistance meter you are going to use.
2. Make sure that no power cables are connected.
3. Measure the winding temperature and the insulation resistance of the winding in
relation to the machine enclosure. The winding temperature should not exceed
40° C during the measurement. Convert the measured insulation resistances in

accordance with the formula to the reference temperature of 40° C. This thereby
ensures that the minimum values specified can be compared.
4. Read out the insulation resistance one minute after applying the measuring
voltage.
Limit values for the stator winding insulation resistance

The following table specifies the measuring voltage and limit values for the insulation
resistance. These values correspond to IEEE 43-2000 recommendations.

U > 12000 5000 (max. 10000)
Urated = rated voltage, see the rating plate
Umeas = DC measuring voltage
RC = minimum insulation resistance at reference temperature of 40° C
Conversion to the reference temperature

When measuring with winding temperatures other than 40° C, convert the measuring
value to the reference temperature of 40° C according to the following equations from
IEEE 43-2000.
(1) RC Insulation resistance converted to 40° C reference tem-

temperature T in °C
(2) 40 Reference temperature in °C
10 Halving/doubling of the insulation resistance with 10 K
KT = (0.5) (40-T)/10 T Measuring/winding temperature in °C
In this case, doubling or halving the insulation resistance at a temperature change of
10 K is used as the basis.
● The insulation resistance halves every time the temperature rises by 10 K.

Accessories
Installation
● The resistance doubles every time the temperature falls by 10 K.

For a winding temperature of approx. 25° C, the minimum insulation resistances are
20 MΩ (U ≤ 1000 V) or 300 MΩ (U > 1000 V). The values apply for the complete
winding to ground. Twice the minimum values apply to the measurement of individual
assemblies.
● Dry, new windings have an insulation resistance of between 100 and 2000 MΩ, or
possibly even higher values. An insulation resistance value close to the minimum
value could be due to moisture and/or dirt accumulation. The size of the winding,
the rated voltage and other characteristics affect the insulation resistance and
may need to be taken into account when determining measures.
● Over its operating lifetime, the motor winding insulation resistance can drop due
to ambient and operational influences. Calculate the critical insulation resistance
value depending on the rated voltage by multiplying the rated voltage (kV) by the
specific critical resistance value. Convert the value for the current winding
temperature at the time of measurement, see above table.
Measuring the polarization index

1. To determine the polarization index, measure the insulation resistances after one
minute and ten minutes.
2. Express the measured values as a ratio:
PI = Rinsul 10 min / Rinsul 1 min
Many measuring devices display these values automatically following the
measurement.
For insulation resistances > 5000 MΩ, the measurement of the PI is no longer
meaningful and consequently not included in the assessment.
R(10 min) / R(1 min) Assessment
≥2 Insulation in good condition
<2 Dependent on the complete diagnosis of the insulation
NOTICE
Damage to insulation
If the critical insulation resistance is reached or undershot, this can damage the
insulation and cause voltage flashovers.
• Contact the Service Center (Page 107).
• If the measured value is close to the critical value, you must subsequently check
the insulation resistance at shorter intervals.

Accessories
Maintenance
CAUTION
Dust disturbances when working with compressed air
When cleaning with compressed air, dust, metal chips, or cleaning agents can be
whirled up. Injuries can result.
When cleaning using compressed air, make sure you use suitable extraction
equipment and wear protective equipment (safety goggles, protective suit, etc.).
NOTICE
Damage to insulation
If metal swarf enters the winding head when cleaning with compressed air, this can
damage the insulation. Clearance and creepage distances can be undershot. This
may cause damage to the machine extending to total failure.
When cleaning with compressed air, ensure there is adequate extraction.
NOTICE
Machine damage caused by foreign bodies
Foreign bodies such as dirt, tools or loose components, such as screws etc., can be
left by accident inside the machine after maintenance is performed. These can
cause short circuits, reduce the performance of the cooling system or increase
noise in operation. They can also damage the machine.
• When carrying out maintenance work, make sure that no foreign bodies are left
in or on the machine.
• Securely attach all loose parts again once you have completed the maintenance
procedures.
• Carefully remove any dirt.
Note
Operating conditions and characteristics can vary widely. For this reason, only
general intervals for inspection and maintenance measures can be specified here.
9.2 Inspection
Notes
Note
Pay particular attention to the relubrication intervals for rolling bearings that deviate
from the inspection intervals.

Accessories
Maintenance
Note
When servicing a three-phase machine, it is generally not necessary to dismantle it.
The machine only has to be dismantled if the bearings are to be replaced.
9.3 Maintenance
9.3.1 Re-greasing
For machines with regreasing system, relubrication intervals, grease quantity and
grease grade are provided on the lubricant plate. Additional data can be taken from
the main machine rating plate.
Grade of grease for standard motors (IP55) UNIREX N3 - ESSO.
Note
It is not permissible to mix different types of grease.
Prolonged storage periods reduce the useful lifetime of the bearing grease. Check
the condition of the grease if the equipment has been in storage for more than 12
months. If the grease is found to have lost oil content or to be contaminated, the
machine must be immediately relubricated before commissioning. For information on
permanently-greased bearings, please refer to the section titled Bearings (Page 99).
Procedure
To relubricate the roller bearings, proceed as follows:
1. Clean the grease nipples at the drive end and non-drive end.
2. Press-in the specified grease and amount of grease according to the data
stamped on the lubrication plate.
– Please observe the information on the rating and lubricant plates.
– Regreasing should be carried out when the motor is running (max. 3600 rpm).
The bearing temperature can rise significantly at first, and then drops to the normal
value again when the excess grease is displaced out of the bearing.

Accessories
Maintenance
9.3.2 Cleaning
Cleaning the grease ducts and spent grease chambers

The spent grease collects outside each bearing in the spent grease chamber of the
outer bearing cap. When replacing bearings, remove the spent grease.
Note
Dismantle the bearing cartridges to replace the grease in the lubrication duct.
Cleaning the cooling air ducts

Regularly clean the cooling air ducts through which the ambient air flows.
The frequency of the cleaning intervals depends on the local degree of fouling.
NOTICE
Damage to the machine
Material damage can occur if you direct compressed air in the direction of the shaft
outlet or machine openings.
• Avoid pointing compressed air directly onto shaft sealing rings or labyrinth seals
of the machine.
In the case of machines with fan covers for the textile industry, regularly remove fluff
balls, fabric remnants, and similar types of contamination (particularly at the air
passage opening between the fan cover and cooling fins of the machine enclosure)
to ensure that the cooling air can flow without obstruction.

9.3.3 Drain condensate

If there are condensation drain holes present, open these at regular intervals,
depending on climatic conditions.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage
The winding can be damaged if objects are introduced into the
condensation holes (optional). This can lead to death, serious injury or
material damage.
Note the following to maintain the degree of protection:
• Switch off the machine so that it is in a no-voltage condition before
you open the condensation drain holes.
• Close the condensation drain holes, e.g. using T-plugs, before
commissioning the machine.
NOTICE
Reduction of the degree of protection
If condensation drain holes are not closed, then this can result in material damage
to the motor.
In order to maintain the degree of protection, after the condensation has been
drained, you must close all of the drain holes.
9.4 Repair
9.4.1 Bearings
Refer to the rating plate or the catalog for the designations of the bearings being
used.
Bearing lifetime
Prolonged storage periods reduce the useful lifetime of the bearing grease. For
permanently lubricated bearings, this reduces the bearing service life.
We recommend that the bearings or grease are replaced after a storage time of 12
months; if the time exceeds 4 years, replace the bearings or the grease.
