10 Operation

Hot electric motor surfaces during operation!
Risk of burns from touching hot surfaces above 65 °C.

Install appropriate guards.

Allow the system to cool down for at least 30 minutes before performing
maintenance and/or servicing.

10.1 Notes regarding operation

10.1.1

Wear

• Individual components are subject to unavoidable wear by their very nature.
Structural measures and the selection of materials are used to achieve functional
reliability over the full service life. However, wear is also dependent on
the operating, maintenance and ambient conditions at the place of use
(resistance, contamination).
• The overloading of conveyor sections can cause the conveyor medium to
malfunction and lead to the premature breakdown of motors and gears.
• If pneumatically activated components are overloaded, it is not possible to
guarantee their function.
10.1.2

Measures to reduce wear

The following commonsense measures will reduce wear:
• Switch off the conveyor section during system shutdowns, e.g. during breaks, at
night, and at weekends.
• Do not select a higher speed for the conveyor section than that required for the
corresponding function.
• Avoid contamination due to abrasive media, reduce contamination by cleaning on
a regular basis.
10.1.3

Environmental factors

• Our products are resistant to many media that are commonly found in
manufacturing, such as water, mineral oil, grease and detergents. Contact your
Rexroth representative if you have any doubts about resistance to specifi c
chemicals, such as test oil, doped oils, aggressive cleaning agents, solvents or
brake fl uid.
• Avoid prolonged contact with highly reactive acidic or alkaline materials.
• Contamination – specifi cally from abrasive media from the surrounding area, such
as sand and silicates, e.g. from construction as well as machining processes in the
transfer system (e.g. welding beads, pumice powder, cullet, chips, waste parts,
etc.) – can greatly increase wear. Maintenance intervals should be signifi cantly
reduced under these circumstances.
