Installing MOVIMOT®

NOTICE

Loss of guaranteed degree of protection if the MOVIMOT® inverter is installed incorrectly or not at all.
Damage to the MOVIMOT® inverter.
  • When removing the MOVIMOT® inverter from the connection box, it must be protected from dust and moisture.

Observe the following notes and regulations for installing the MOVIMOT® drive:

  • Only install the MOVIMOT® drive on a level, low-vibration, and torsionally rigid support structure.
  • Observe the permitted mounting position on the drive nameplate.
  • Thoroughly remove any anti-corrosion agent from the shaft ends. Use a commercially available solvent for this purpose. Do not allow the solvent to penetrate the bearings and sealing rings (damage to the material).
  • Align the motor carefully to avoid placing any unacceptable strain on the motor shafts. Observe the permitted overhung and axial loads specified in the "MOVIMOT® gearmotors" catalog.
  • Do not jolt or hammer the shaft end.
  • Use an appropriate cover to prevent objects or fluids from entering motors in vertical mounting positions.
  • Ensure sufficient clearance around the unit to enable unobstructed flow of cooling air. Ensure that exhaust air warmed by other devices cannot be drawn in.
  • Balance the parts that were subsequently added to the shaft with a half key (output shafts are balanced with a half key).
  • The condensation drain holes are sealed with plastic plugs. Unplug them only if necessary.
  • Open condensation drain holes are not permitted. Higher degrees of protection are no longer valid for open condensation drain holes.
