Observe the storage conditions specified in the following table for extended storage:
Climate zone | PackagingThe packaging must be carried out by an experienced company using the packaging materials that have been explicitly specified for the particular application. | Storage locationSEW‑EURODRIVE recommends storing the drive according to the mounting position. | Storage duration |
|---|---|---|---|
Temperate (Europe, USA, Canada, China and Russia, excluding tropical zones) | Packed in containers, with desiccant and moisture indicator sealed in plastic wrap. | Under roof, protected against rain and snow, no shock loads. | Up to 3 years with regular checks of the packaging and moisture indicator (relative humidity < 50%). |
Open | Under roof and enclosed at constant temperature and atmospheric humidity (5 °C < ϑ < 50 °C, < 50% relative humidity). No sudden temperature variations. Controlled ventilation with filter (free from dust and dirt). No aggressive vapors and no shocks. | 2 years or more with regular inspections. Check for cleanness and mechanical damage during inspection. Check corrosion protection. | |
Tropical (Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand excluding temperate zones) | Packed in containers, with desiccant and moisture indicator sealed in plastic wrap. Protected against insect damage and mildew by chemical treatment. | Under a roof, protected against rain and free from shocks. | Up to 3 years with regular checks of the packaging and moisture indicator (relative humidity < 50%). |
