6.2.1
Basic inspection
After assembling the motor or after repairing a breakdown, the motor must be inspected approximately every 500 operating hours
or at least every six months.
This inspection must consist of basically the following:
With the machine on:
-
Check that the motor works according to its rated mechanical and electrical values and that there are no strange
noises, vibrations or irregular rotation.
With the machine off:
-
Check that no cracks appear in the motor fastening elements.
-
Check that the connection terminals in the terminal box maintain an adequate fastening.
-
If faults are found during the inspection, they must be corrected immediately.
Besides this basic inspection, a number of maintenance tasks must be carried out to ensure that the motor has a long service life.
The maintenance operations recommended by VASCAT are as follows:
6.2.2
Cleaning of the fan and air filter (Only on motors supplied with fan)
It is important to keep the fan wheel as clean as possible. To do so, apply compressed air to its surface on a regular basis to
ensure that there are no unwanted particles deposited on it.
The frequency of the cleaning process will depend on the local and environmental conditions that affect the motor, as well as the
frequency with which the motor is used.
MOVING ROTATING PARTS
During the motor fan wheel cleaning operation, the customer is responsible for taking the necessary precautions to avoid
accidental contact with the rotating parts.
The fan of the MAC QM motors is fitted with a particle filter of the NGB 290/4 type in the air inlet, which requires regular cleaning.
The frequency of this operation will depend on the environment in which the motor is located and the frequency with which it is
used.
To wash the filter, it must be removed from the fan and cleaned using compressed air or washed with water and detergent,
depending on the type of dirt in the environment. The filter must be replaced after 4 or 5 washes by one that is the same as or
equivalent to the original.
