Key points of safety regulations
(1) Electrical safety
Only skilled electricians are allowed to operate. Before starting work, power off, prevent accidental closing, ground short circuit, and shield adjacent live parts.
When the rotor of a permanent magnet motor rotates, a voltage greater than 60V will be generated at the terminal, and the motor must be stopped before operation. It is forbidden to plug or unplug connectors while they are live.
Encoder, KTY84 and other components contain electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) and must comply with anti-static measures.
(2) Mechanical safety
Suitable equipment (lifting eye bolts) must be used for lifting. It is strictly prohibited to walk under suspended loads or to grip shafts or fan covers during lifting.
Rotating components need to be equipped with cover plates, and the longitudinal axis needs to be mechanically locked or externally braked to prevent sinking after stopping the machine.
When installing transmission components (couplings/pulleys), it is forbidden to strike the shaft end to avoid exceeding the allowable radial/axial force.
(3) Special protection
Electromagnetic fields pose health risks to wearers of pacemakers and metal implants. Such individuals are prohibited from approaching and should consult a doctor.
The surface operating temperature of the motor may exceed 70 ℃, and it needs to be cooled for at least 15 minutes before touching. If necessary, anti contact protective devices should be installed.
Recharging/disassembling/using open flames is prohibited for batteries, and discarded batteries must be separately recycled.
Transportation and Storage Standards
(1) Transportation requirements
Original packaging is required, in accordance with DIN EN 60721-3-2 classification (2K2, 2B1, etc.), transportation temperature -20~+80 ℃, relative humidity ≤ 75% (+30 ℃).
Before transporting liquid cooled motors, it is necessary to drain the coolant to prevent damage from frost; Fix the lifting ring bolts during lifting to avoid strong vibrations.
(2) Storage requirements
The storage environment should be dry, dust-free, vibration free, and dark, with a temperature of -20~+60 ℃, a relative humidity of 5-95% (no condensation), and no salt spray.
Long term storage measures (table):
Storage duration, motor debugging measures, cable/joint debugging measures
Visual inspection in January showed no damage
Replace the brake surface in December, inspect the electrical contacts, run for 1 hour without load (800-1000rpm) to check the electrical contacts, and visually inspect the cable sockets

Debugging and Running
(1) Debugging prerequisites
Confirm the storage duration of the motor and implement corresponding debugging measures; Check that all connectors are securely connected and that the brake voltage is 24V ± 10%.
Verify that the brake function is normal, the protection key is fixed, and there are no residual transport locking devices.
(2) Operation monitoring
During operation, it is necessary to comply with the environmental and technical parameters in the project planning manual, and monitor abnormal noise and vibration increments.
Regularly check the cleanliness of the motor/fan, the sealing of the coolant interface, pay attention to the diagnostic error messages of the controller, and stop the drive in case of abnormalities.
(3) Troubleshooting (Table)
Possible causes and solutions for the fault phenomenon
Motor not running, controller enable signal missing, power supply voltage missing, brake not released activation enable signal, check power supply, verify brake activation status
Abnormal vibration, poor balance of coupling components, insufficient alignment of shaft end attachments, loosening of installation screws, rebalancing of components, calibration of attachments, and locking of screws according to specifications
High operating noise, foreign objects inside the motor, damaged bearings, and shutdown. Contact the manufacturer for repair after shutdown
Motor temperature exceeds rated load, heat dissipation is damaged, temperature sensor is not connected to reduce load, clean motor/check fan/cooling circuit, connect sensor
Maintenance and environmental disposal
(1) Maintenance points
Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly (no later than 1 year) clean the surface of the motor to avoid dust covering and affecting heat dissipation; The connecting cable needs to be checked for damage, and the drag chain needs to be checked for defects.
Spare parts replacement: It is recommended to replace the bearings after 30000 hours; Visually inspect the shaft sealing ring after 5000 hours and replace it if necessary; Only use Rexroth original spare parts.
(2) Environmental disposal
Product Ingredients: Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Permanent Magnet, Electronic Components, Can be Classified and Recycled; The packaging materials (cardboard/wood/polystyrene) can be routinely recycled.
Permanent magnets need to be demagnetized before disposal, and it is prohibited to transport magnetized rotors; Waste batteries need to be recycled according to the national dedicated system to avoid pollution.
