Storage conditions

Observe the storage conditions listed in the following table with respect to 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 period
Temperate (Europe, USA, Canada, China and Russia with the exception of tropical areas)	Packaged in containers, with desiccant and moisture indicator sealed in the plastic wrap.	Under roof, protection against rain and snow, vibration-free.	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 fluctuations and controlled ventilation with filter (free of dirt and dust). No aggressive vapors or shocks.	2 years or more with regular inspections. Check for cleanness and mechanical damage during the inspection. Check that the corrosion protection is intact.
Tropical (Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand with the exception of temperate areas)	Packaged in containers, with desiccant and moisture indicator sealed in the plastic wrap. Protected against insect damage and mildew by chemical treatment.	Under roof, protection against rain, vibration-free.	Up to 3 years with regular checks of the packaging and moisture indicator (relative humidity < 50%).
