3. Design features
   1. Installation and application

Standard installations

The motors can be installed outdoors and in dusty, moist and chemically aggressive environments (industrial climate) at ambient temperatures from -20°C to 40°C.

 

Mechanical protection (IP)

The mechanical protection systems for electric motors are classified with the IP code followed by two numbers and, in some applications, by a letter.

 

IP (International Protection): this indicates the level of protection against accidental contacts of foreign bodies and against water.

0 - 6 (1st digit): this indicates the level of protection against accidental contacts of foreign bodies.

0 - 8 (2nd digit): this indicates the level of protection against water.

 

W, S e M (additional letters for special protections):

W; this means that the machine is to be used in specified weather conditions and with special protections. The W letter has to be added to the IP code (e. g. IPW55).

S and M; these are used for protection against water. The letter S stands for static protection;

protection against water only for a stationary motor. Letter M stands for protection against water when the motor is running (e. g. IP56S).

Without the additional letters the protection applies in both cases (standing still and running motor).

Our standard motors are IP55 (terminal box IP65).

On request we can supply motors without ventilation with IP56 or IP57, and self ventilated motors with IP56S.

 

Upper-Deck Installation

Motors meant for installation on board ships and offshore areas are designed to comply with the specifications of the relevant classification authorities

 

Gear mounting, Oil-protected Flange

In some applications, it is necessary that the flange and the drive shaft are completely sealed against oil. This need must be specified during the order phase.

 

Fixed bearings

Some applications need to have a “zero axial play”. This need must be specified during the order phase.

 

Cooling

Motors are air-cooled by means of external surface ventilation (IC 411).

Standard motors have radial flow fan allowing fully reversible rotation. Reference standards are: IEC 60034-6.

From frame size 100 to 315 motors may be supplied with forced ventilation.

 

Low temperature version and anti-condensation heating

Low Temperature Version

Motors intended for use at extremely low temperatures are specially designed.

Flameproof certificates are valid for temperatures as low as -50°C.

Motors equipped with heating coils keep the minimum temperature of a stopped motor at -20°C . As an alternative to heaters, the motors can be powered with low voltage via terminals U1 and V1.

Also, it is possible to use a special construction with suitable materials in low temperature areas (-50°C) as an alternative to heating the motor.

A version is also available for Temperature -60°C with other certifications.

 

Anti-condensation heating

Condensate may form inside the motor due to temperature fluctuations.

To prevent this from happening, motors must be heated using strip type heaters on the end windings or low voltage power can be supplied to the winding via terminals U1 and V1.

 It is vital that during the motor operation the heaters are turned off.

The supply voltage for the heaters is 230V + - 10% (115V + -  10% on request)

 

 

 

1. Shaft ends, balancing, vibrations, noise levels, coupling and belt drives

 

Shaft ends

The shaft ends are cylindrical and comply with IEC 60072 in their design and in their correspondence to frame sizes and outputs. The shaft ends of all motors are equipped with a tapped hole to assist in the fitting of pulleys and couplings.

The keys are always supplied along with the motors.

On request, special shaft ends or a second free shaft end can be provided.

Pole-changing motors with a 2-pole speed have the same shaft ends as single-speed 2-pole motors.

 

Balancing, and vibration

The motors are dynamically balanced with half keys in accordance with vibration grade “A” (N) normal balance IEC 60034-14 (and ISO 8821).

The low-vibration version “B” (R) (reduced) can be supplied where high demands are made on quiet running.

Care must be taken to ensure that transmission parts (pulleys, couplings) supplied by others are dynamically balanced with half key.

 

Noise level

Noise measurements are performed to IEC 60034-9. In the performance data, the sound pressure levels “Lp” are given in dB (A) for the individual frame sizes.

They apply for no load at 50 Hz.

The tolerance is + 3 dB (A).

At 60 Hz the values of sound pressure increase approximately by 4 dB (A).

 

Coupling drive

When aligning a motor to be coupled directly to the machine, care must be taken that the rollers and balls of the bearings do not jam.

Elastic couplings are permissible with all motors.

To ensure vibration-free running and to avoid any inadmissible stress on the bearings, the machine to be coupled must still be exactly aligned in the case of elastic coupling.

Maximum accuracy must be applied to the coupling of 2-pole motors.

 

Belt drive

Slide rails are used for motors for easy tensioning and readjustment at the belts. Permissible forces have to be taken into consideration.

Pulleys and couplings must only be fitted and removed by means of specific tools.
