3.6 Dimension drawings
Dimensions of the different pumps can be found
in appendix 1, Data sheet.
Operation guide | Installation, Operation and Maintenance APP 53-92 pumps
3.7 Space requirement
When doing service or replacing the complete
pump unit, it is recommended to have sufficient
space available around the pump in order to
ensure easy access. Sufficient space means at
least 1 meter/40 inches around the pump. When
working with high pressures, it is important to
have the right space available around the pump
as stated in the safety requirements.
3.8 Filtration
(10µm absolute [ß
Requirements are specified in appendix 1, Data
≥ 5000])
10
sheet and in appendix 2, Instruction.
Danfoss recommends not to build a filter bypass
function or to use filters with an integrated
bypass. If the above recommendation is not
followed the warranty for the pump will
automatically become void.
It should be possible to monitor the condition of
the filter via the differential/delta pressure across
the filter.
Using insufficient filtration or a filter bypass
can cause a failure or decreased service life of
the pump.
3.9 Properties of water
It is recommended NOT to use the pumps in feed
water concentrations higher than 50,000 ppm
TDS without consulting your local Danfoss pump
distributor.
3.10 Air bubbles
Large bubbles in a pressurised RO system can
result in damage to piping, equipment and the
pump.
All air must be bleeded from both the lowpressure and high-pressure side before the RO
system is pressurised. Special consideration
should be given in order to minimize air bubbles
in the feed flow. Air bubbles can cause cavitation.
3.11 Chemicals
The pump should not be exposed to any
chemicals as it can result in damage to piping,
equipment and internal parts in the pump.
4. Arrival inspection,
transportation,
handling, lifting and
storage
4.1 Arrival inspection
The pump is packed in a cardboard or wood box
with plugs in the port connections to protect the
pumps from damage during transportation.
When the shipment has arrived it is important to
check the pump for any damages. The name
plate/type designation must be in accordance
with the delivery note and your order.
In case of damage and/or missing parts, a report
should be documented and presented to the
carrier at once.
4.2 Warning
Before any lifting operation is performed,
environmental conditions must be taken into
consideration (Ex-rated areas, wind speed, wet/
dry conditions, lifting height, etc.).
4.3 General safety information
Personnel involved in lifting and transporting the
equipment (see Safety, chapter 2) must be
trained in handling and in safety procedures for
lifting heavy loads. Many of the pumps and
pump units weigh more than 20 kilos, which
requires lifting slings and suitable lifting devices;
e.g. an overhead crane or industrial truck to be
used as minimum.
4.4 Transport and handling
Small pumps which have a weight below 20 kilos
can be handled by hand if they are not mounted
together with an electric motor. The weight of a
small pump with a motor will be above 20 kilos.
Do not use connections/nozzles for lifting!
Do not use only one sling!
Pumps which have a weight above 20 kilos must
be handled by using lifting eyes and slings.
Wrong lifting:
When the pump is mounted together with a bell
housing, the pump can be rotated and in that
case the lifting eye cannot be used in all
positions. When lifting a pump with bell housing,
a sling can be used to lift the pump by positioning it on the drive end of the pump outlet.
When the pump is mounted together with an
electric motor, it must not be lifted in the lifting eye. A pump unit with motor must be handled by
using two slings around the pump unit. One sling
must be attached to the electric motor and one
sling around the pump.
Make sure that the unit/load is balanced before
lifting. The centre of the mass varies from pump/
pump unit size to pump(pump unit).
See below examples of where to/not to attach
the lifting slings on the pump unit with motor:
Correct lifting with 2 separate slings:
Some motors and pumps have specific lifting
eyes.
Do not use connections/nozzles for lifting!
Do not use only one sling!
Make sure that the unit/load is balanced before
lifting. The centre of the mass varies from pump/
pump unit size to pump/pump unit.
How to mount the pump and the electric motor
correctly, see appendix 1, Data sheet or appendix
2, Instruction.
Incorrect lifting can result in personal injury
and/or damage to the pump unit, see appendix
2, Instruction.
Once the lifting is done the lifting eye must
be removed from the pump.
4.5 Return to supplier
Please see maintenance chapter 7.
4.6 Storage
Each pump is tested before shipment, and will
therefore contain water. For storage temperature
and frost protection see appendix 2, Instruction.
The pumps are NOT delivered frost protected
from the factory.

motor to the base.
See also chapter 4, Arrival inspection, transportation, handling, lifting and storage.
5.8 Mount the different equipment
(connections, pipes, tubes, check and safety/relief
valves, etc.)
• The hard piping and flexible hoses used,
must be of proper design and must be
installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. (see also Design
guides 180R9084 and 180R9367 - both
available on hpp.danfoss.com).
• Misalignment of the hard pipes may give
unintended stress on the pump port
connections and may damage the pump.
•Prevent excessive external pipe load.
• Do not connect piping by applying external
force (use of wrenches, crane, etc.) Piping
must be aligned without residual stress.
• Do not mount expansion joints so that their
force applies internal pressure on the pump
connections.
5.9 Electrics
All electrical installation work must be carried
out by authorized personnel in accordance with
EN60204-1 and/or local regulations. (see also
Safety, chapter 2)
Turn off the safety circuit breaker and lock it.

95 Nm ± 9.5 Nm
5.12 Ensure free flow
Ensure free flow from the safety/relief valves 8
and 9 (schematic1, page 10). A blocked safety/
relief valve can cause excessive build-up of
pressure and thereby cause dangerous situations
and damage to the whole system.
5.13 Verify setting of safety/relief valves
Make sure, the safety/relief valves 8 and 9 are
placed correctly.
Check the pressure settings on the name plates
of the safety/relief valves. If they are within

is designed according to EN 809 for use in RO
applications with low viscosity and corrosive
fluids such as sea water.
Danfoss APP pumps are positive displacement
pumps with axial pistons that move a fixed
amount of water in each cycle. Flow is proportional to the number of input shaft revolutions
(rpm).
Unlike centrifugal pumps, they produce the same
flow at a given speed no matter what the
discharge pressure.

- Efficient design and all-stainless steel
construction ensure exceptionally long
life. When Danfoss specifications are
met, service intervals of 8,000 hours can
be expected. Service is easy, and can be
carried out on-site due to the simple
design and few parts.
• Low energy costs:
- The highly efficient axial piston design
provides the lowest energy
consumption of any comparable pump
on the market.
• Easy installation:
- The most compact and lightest design
available.
- The pump can be installed horizon-
tally in different positions rotating it
around the shaft (see section 10 for
example).
of RO desalination plants around the world:

9.1 Filtration
Proper filtration is crucial for the performance,
maintenance and warranty of your pump.
Protect your pump, and the application in which
it is installed, by always ensuring that all filtration
specifications are met, and by always changing
filter cartridges according to schedule.
Since water has very low vicosity, Danfoss APP
pumps have been designed with very narrow
clearances in order to control internal leakage
rates and improve component performance.
To minimize wear on the pump, it is therefore
essential to filter inlet water properly.
The main filter must have a filtration efficiency of
99.98% at 10 μm. We strongly recommend that
you always use precision depth filter cartridges
rated 10μm abs. ß
≥5000.
10
Please note that we do not recommend bag
filters or string-wound filter cartridges, which
typically have only 50% filtration efficiency. This
means that out of the 100,000 particles that
enter such filters, 50,000 particles pass right
through; compare this to precision depth filters
that are 99.98% efficient, and only allow 20 of the
same 100,000 particles to pass through.
For more information on the importance of
proper filtration, including explanation of
filtration principles, definitions and guidance on
how to select the right filter for your pump,
please consult our Filtration information and
specifications (Danfoss document number
521B1009).
Noise
Since the pump unit is typical mounted on a
frame or bell housing the overall noise level can
only be determined for a complete system. To
minimize vibrations and noise throughout the
system, it is therefore very important to mount
the pump unit correctly on a frame with
anti-vibration-dampeners, and to use flexible
hoses rather than metal pipes where possible.
The noise level is influenced by:
• Pump speed:
High rpm generates more fluid/structure
borne pulsations/vibrations than low rpm,
because of higher frequency.
• Discharge pressure:
High pressure generates more noise than
low pressure.
• Pump mounting:
Rigid mounting generates more noise than
flexible mounting, because of structureborne vibrations. Be sure to use dampeners
when mounting.
• Connections to pump:
Pipes connected directly to the pump make
more noise than flexible hoses, because of
structure-borne vibrations.
• Variable frequency drives (VFD):
Motors regulated by VFDs can produce
more noise if the VFD does not have the
right settings.
•
9.2 RO system with direct supply:
Inlet line:
a) Dimension the inlet line to obtain mini mum pressure loss (large flow, minimum
pipe length, minimum number of bends/
connections, and fittings with low or no
pressure losses) .
Inlet filter:
b) Install an inlet filter (1) in front of the APP
pump (2). Please consult section 9.1, “Filtration” for guidance on how to select
the right filter. Thoroughly clean pipes and
flush system prior to start-up.
Inlet pressure:
c In order to eliminate the risk of cavitation
and other pump damage, pump inlet pressure must always be maintained according to specifications described in
item 4 about technical data.
Low pressure relief valve:
d) Install a low pressure relief valve (9) in order
to avoid system or pump damage in case
the pump stops momentarily or is spinning
backwards.
Monitoring pressure switch:
e Install a monitoring pressure switch (3)
between the filter (1) and the pump inlet.
Set the minimum inlet pressure according
to specifications described in item 4 about
technical data. If the inlet pressure is lower
than the minimum pressure set, the
monitoring pressure switch must prevent
the pump from starting or from running.
Hoses:
f) Always use flexible hoses (4) to minimize
vibrations and noise. Please consult the
Danfoss Hoses and hose fittings data sheet (521B0909) for guidance.
Flushing valve:
g) For easy system filling and flushing, the
APP pump has an integrated valve (6).
Non-return valve:
h) A non-return valve (7) in outlet can be
installed in order to avoid backspin of the
pump. The volume of water in the
membrane vessel works as an accumulator
and will send flow backwards in case the
pump stops momentarily.

Data sheet | APP 53-92 Pumps
High pressure safety or relief valve:
i) As the Danfoss APP pump begins to create
pressure and flow immediately after
start-up and regardless of any counter
pressure, a safety or pressure relief valve (8)
should be installed after the non-return
valve to prevent system damage and to
avoid high pressure peaks.
Note: If a non-return valve is mounted in the inlet
line, a low-pressure relief valve is also required
between the non-return valve and
pump as protection against high-pressure peaks.

Warranty
Danfoss APP pumps are designed for long
operation, low maintenance and reduced
lifecycle costs.
Pump shutdown:
The APP pumps are made of Duplex/Super
Duplex materials with excellent corrosion
properties. It is, however, always recommended
to flush the pump with freshwater when the
Provided that the pump has been running
according to the Danfoss specifications, Danfoss
guarantees 8,000 hours service-free operation,
however, max. 18 months from date of
production.
system is shut down.
When stopping the pump for more than 1 day
flush the pump for 10 sec. Flushing through the
flushing valve of the pump without rotating the
pump is not enough for cleaning the inside of
the pump.
If Danfoss recommendations concerning
system-design are not followed, it will strongly
influence the life of the APP pumps.
Other factors that affect pump performance and
lifetime include:
The pump can be flushed with biocide like the
membranes. The biocide must be compatible
with the materials used in our pump (materials
can be found in the parts list in the instruction
and operational manual).
- Insufficient filtration
- Insufficient bleeding and venting
- Running the pump at speed outside
specifications.
Repair
In case of irregular function of the APP pump,
please contact Danfoss High Pressure Pumps.
- Supplying the pump with water at
temperature higher than recommended.
- Running the pump at inlet pressure outside
specifications.
- Running the pump at outlet pressure
outside the specifications.
- Wrong direction of rotation.
Maintenance
After 8,000 hours of operation it is strongly
recommended to inspect the pump and change
any worn parts, e.g. pistons and shaft
seal. This is done in order to prevent a potential
breakdown of the pump. If the parts are not
replaced, more frequent inspection is
recommended according to our guidelines.
The design of the system must ensure that
self-emptying of the pump during standstill is
avoided.
The inlet pressure of the pump must never
exceed the outlet pressure. This may typically
occur in boosted or open-ended systems with
direct water supply.
2.1 Open-ended systems with direct water
supply
Axial piston pumps require a certain inlet
pressure to perform as intended. Please find min.
required feed pressure in the pump data sheet.
Please also note that feed pressure must not
exceed 5 barg (72.5 psig).
2.2
Preferred RO system design without ERD
1. Dimension the inlet line to obtain minimum pressure loss (large flow, minimum
pipe length, minimum number of bends/
connections, and fittings with small
pressure losses).
2. Place an inlet filter (1) in front of the APP
pump (2). Please consult Danfoss filter data
sheet for guidance on how to select the
right filter. Thoroughly clean pipes and
flush system prior to start-up.
3. Place a monitoring pressure switch (3) set
at min. inlet pressure between filter and
pump inlet. The monitoring switch must
stop the pump at pressures lower than
minimum pressure.
4. Use flexible hoses (4) to minimize vibrations
and noise.
5. In order to eliminate the risk of damage
and cavitation, a positive pressure at the
inlet (5) is always to be maintained at min.
inlet pressure and max. inlet pressure.
To protect the pump from being damaged by
peaks of high-pressure in case the pump stops
momentarily, it is required to mount a lowpressure relief valve on the inlet line.
Note: The inlet connection must be properly
tightened, as possible entrance of air will cause
cavitation.
It is recommend to install safety valve or a
pressure relief valve (9) in order to avoid
high-pressure peaks in case the pump stops
momentarilly or is spinning backwards.
6. For easy system bleeding and flushing, a
bypass non-return valve (6) is integrated in
the APP pump.
7. A non-return valve (7) in outlet can be
installed in order to avoid backspin of the
pump. The volume of water in the membrane vessel works as an accumulator and
will send flow backwards in case of the
pump stops momentarily.
8. A safety valve or a pressure relief valve (8)
can be installed in order to avoid system
damage as the Danfoss APP pump creates
pressure and flow immediately after startup, regardless of any counter pressure.
Note: If a non-return valve is mounted in the
inlet line, a low-pressure relief valve is also
required between non-return valve and pump
as protection against high-pressure peaks.
For P&ID of a setup with an iSave, please see the
iSave® Data sheet 521B1378
2.4 Preferred RO system design with pumps
and ERDs in parallel
For systems with Danfoss pumps and ERDs in
parallel, please see our publication 180R9354,
Guideline for Parallel-coupled pumps and ERD.
2.5 Reversible pumps
If exposed to high-pressure in the outlet while
the electric motor is not energized, the pumps
may start spinning backwards. This will not harm
the pumps as long as the pressure in the inlet
does not exceed the max. pressure peak of
10 barg(145 psig).
If a non-return valve is mounted in the inlet line,
a low-pressure relief valve is required as protection against high-pressure pulses and high-pressure in general.
Alternatively a high-pressure check valve can be
mounted in the pump discharge line to prevent
the pump from reversing.
The setup of “open-end system” ensures that the
inlet pressure does not exceed 10 barg (145 psig),
when a nonreturn valve is mounted in the inlet.
2.6 General comments
A good filtration is vital to ensure a long and
trouble-free life of the pump.
As water has very low viscosity, the APP pumps
have been designed with very narrow clearance
in order to control internal leakage rates and
improve component performance. Therefore it is
important that the inlet water is filtered properly
to minimize the wear of the pump.
The main filter must have a filtration efficiency of
99.98% at 10 μm. We recommend to use
precision depth filter cartridges rated 10 μm abs.
β10 ≥ 5000 (equivalent to a filtration efficiency of
99.98%). Bag filters and string wounded filter
cartridges typically have only 50% filtration
efficiency. This means that for each 100,000 particles reaching the filter, 50,000 particles pass
through it compared to only 20 particles in a
filter with an efficiency of 99.98%.
For more information on the importance of
proper filtration, please see our data sheet
521B1009 on “Filtration”, which also will provide
you with an explanation of filtration definitions
and a guidance on how to select the right filter.
Monitoring
It is recommended to continuously monitor the
following conditions:
• Filter clogging
• Pressure (inlet- and outlet side of the
pump)

3.1 Assembly of the coupling
We recommend to inspect bores, shaft,
keyway and feather key for dimensional
accuracy before assembly.
Heating the hubs lightly (approx. 80 °C)
allows for an easier mounting on the
shaft.
Please pay attention to the ignition risk
in potentially explosive atmospheres!

1. Mount the coupling flange (component 4)
in front of the elastomer part (component
1) and screw the components together
with a tightening torque of 120 Nm.
Lubricate inside the coupling hubs (not the
shafts).
If used in potentially explosive atmospheres the setscrews to fasten the hubs
as well as all screw connections must be
secured against working loose additionally, e.g. conglutinating with Loctite
(average strength).
Please observe the manufacturer’s
instructions regarding the use of adhesives. Do not apply glue on the rubber
surfaces.
2. Mount the bell housing on pump. Secure
nuts with the right torque.
3. Push the coupling part all the way down to
the shoulder of the pump shaft and secure
with right torque on the locking screws.
Measure the distance “a” from the end of
the bell housing to the end of the toothing
of the coupling.
4. Mount the coupling on motor shaft
without using hammer. If needed then
polish motor shaft/key and inside coupling
hub.
5. On the motor shaft position the coupling
so that the length from the end of the coupling to the end of the motor flange is
“b= a+32.5 mm” ± 2 mm.
6. Secure coupling on motor shaft with the
right torques on the locking scre+ws.
7. Connect carefully pump/bell housing to
motor. Turn motor shaft so coupling tooths
can interact.
8. Mount motor flange bolts to bell housing
and tighten with the right torque.
9. Check coupling space. The pump coupling
should be in a position so there is still
3-7 mm space.
If alternative mounting is desired, please contact
Danfoss High Pressure Pumps.
Please take care to observe the recommended
length tolerances of the chosen coupling, as an
axial force on the pump will damage the pump.

4.2 Connections
To prevent stray current corrosion we recommend grounding of the pump and all other parts
in the system.
All parts in the system must be electrical
potential equalized to a single reference point
(grounding point).
It is recommended that the electrical resistance
in the grounding cable is equal to or below 0.25
Ohm towards the grounding point.
1. Flush inlet line before connecting the
pump, to remove possible impurities from
pipes, hoses etc.
2. Connect pump inlet to inlet line and flush
the pump for 5 min. by means of the
internal flushing valve, to remove possible
impurities from pipes, hoses etc.
3. Loosen top bleeding plug (see item 3.5)
using an allen key (only plugs with internal
hexagon sockets). Retighten the plug,
when water appears from the bleeding
plug.
4. Make sure that the direction of rotation of
the electric motor corresponds to the direction of rotation of the pump, show on the
pump flange.
5. Now the pump is ready for start-up.
WARNING
Make sure that the direction of rotation of the
electric motor corresponds to the direction of
rotation of the pump.
Otherwise the pump will be damaged if a
check valve is placed between pump and feed
pump.

anti-freeze additive. Connect a hose to the
inlet port of the pump and via another
hose return the flow from the outlet port to
the tank with antifreeze additives.
4. Quickly start and stop the pump. Make sure that the pump does not run dry.
The pump is now protected against
internal corrosion and frost.

empty permeate and store.
For long term storage (more than 2 months)
Danfoss recommends servicing the product and
clean any biological growth of the surfaces. Store
the pump without water inside.
7. Service and warranty
Warranty
Danfoss APP pumps are designed for long
operation, low maintenance and reduced
lifecycle costs.
Provided that the pump has been running
according to the Danfoss specifications, Danfoss
guarantees 8,000 hours service-free operation,
however, max. 18 months from date of
production.
If Danfoss recommendations concerning
system-design are not followed, it will strongly
influence the life of the APP pumps.
Other factors that affect pump performance and
lifetime include:
- Insufficient filtration
- Insufficient bleeding and venting
- Running the pump at speed outside
specifications.
- Supplying the pump with water at
temperature higher than recommended.
- Running the pump at inlet pressure outside
specifications.
- Running the pump at outlet pressure
outside the specifications.
- Wrong direction of rotation.
Pump shutdown:
The APP pumps are made of Duplex/Super
Duplex materials with excellent corrosion
properties. It is, however, always recommended
to flush the pump with freshwater when the
system is shut down.
When stopping the pump for more than 1 day
flush the pump with permeate by rotating the
pump for 10 sec. Flushing through the flashing
valve of the pump without rotating the pump is
not enough for cleaning the inside of the pump.
The pump can be flushed with biocide like the
membranes. The biocide must be compatible
with the materials used in our pump (materials
can be found in the parts list in the Service guide
and Operating manual).
Repair
In case of irregular function of the APP pump,
please contact Danfoss High Pressure Pumps.
Maintenance
After 8,000 hours of operation it is strongly
recommended to inspect the pump and change
any worn parts, e.g. pistons and shaft
seal. This is done in order to prevent a potential
breakdown of the pump. If the parts are not
replaced, more frequent inspection is
recommended according to our guidelines.
This manual concerns the following types of standard
induction motors from Hoyer:
HMA3, HMC3, HMA2, HMC2, HMD, HMT, MS, Y2E1, Y2E2, YDT
These motors are manufactured in accordance with IEC/EN
60034-4 and IEC/EN 60072.
Motors are rated for the ambient temperature range -20°C to
+40°C and site altitudes ≤1000 m above sea level.
Low-voltage motors are components for installation in
machinery. They are CE marked according to the Low Voltage
Directive 2014/35/EU.
Motors not fulfilling the IE3 efficiency level must be equipped
with a variable speed drive when used in EU.
Transport and storage
Check the motor for external damage immediately upon
receipt and, if found, inform the forwarding agent right away.
Check all rating plate data, and compare it with the
requirement of the motor.
Turn the shaft by hand to check free rotation, remove
transport locking if used.
Transport locking must be used again for internal transport
also. It is also important that transport locking is used when
motors are transported mounted on equipment.
All motors should be stored indoors, in dry, vibration- and
dust-free conditions.
Lifting eyebolts must be tightened before use. Damaged
eyebolts must not be used, check before use. Lifting eyes at
motor must not be used to lift the motor when it is attached
to other equipment.
Before commissioning, measure the insulation impedance. If
values are ≤ 10MΩ at 25°C, the winding must be oven dried.
The insulation resistance reference is halved for each 20°C
rise in motor temperature.
It is recommended that shafts are rotated periodically by
hand to prevent grease migration.
etc.) using suitable tools, never hit the drive components
with a hammer as this will cause damage to the bearing.
The motor are balancing with half key, ensure that the drive
components are also the same.
Correct alignment is essential to avoid bearing, vibration and
shaft failure.
Use appropriate methods for alignment.
Re-check the alignment after the final tightening of the bolts
or studs.
Check that drain holes and plugs face downwards. We
recommend opening the drain hole for motors placed
outdoors and not running 24 hours / day, so that the motor
can breathe, thus ensuring a dry motor.
Electrical connection
Work is only permitted to be carried out by qualified
specialists and must to be carried out in accordance with
local regulations.
Before work commences, ensure that all power is switched
off and cannot be switched on again. This also applies to the
auxiliary power circuits, e.g. anti-condense heaters.
Check that supply voltage and frequency are the same as
rated data.
Motors can be used with a supply deviation of ± 5% voltage
and ± 2% frequency, according to IEC60034-1.
Connection diagrams for main supply and accessory as PTC
or heater are located inside the terminal box.
Connections must be made in such a way as to ensure that
a permanently safe electrical connection is maintained, both
for the main supply and the earth connection.
We recommend that crimped connections are made in
accordance with IEC 60352-2.
Tightening torques for terminal board screws:
ThreadM5M6M8M10M12M16M20M24
T.(Nm)2.53.571218355580
Installation
The motor must be fixed on a stable, clear and flat foundation.
It must be sufficiently rigid to withstand possible short
circuit forces.
It is important to ensure that the mounting conditions do
not cause resonance with the rotational frequency and the
doubled supply frequency.
Only mount or remove drive components (pulley, coupling,

At 60Hz the time will be reduced by app. 20%.
Data for vertically mounted motors are half of the above
values.
The table values are based on an ambient temperature of
25°C. The values must be halved for every 15K increase in
bearing temperature.
Higher speed operations, e.g. frequency converter drive will
require shorter greasing intervals. Typically, doubling the
speed will reduce the values by 50%.
Special note for Atex Zone 22 and nA motors
Designation of motor according to IEC standard:
II 3D Ex tc IIIB T120°C
II 3G Ex nA IIC T3
The hazardous 3-phase asynchronous motors are in
accordance with International standard IEC 60079-31 and
IEC 60079-15.
Only one electrical installation may be installed in one
specified area (zone).
Only certificated cable glands may be used. Unused glands
must be closed.
Connections must be made in such a way as to ensure that
a permanently safe electrical connection is maintained, both
for the main supply and earth connection.
Installations must be in accordance with actual standards
for installation in hazardours area.
It is recommended that the IEC standard is followed according
to temperature and dust on the motor surface.
The use of motors with so much surface dust that the motor
temperature increases is not permitted.
Regularly cleaning is recommended.
The radial shaft sealing ring is part of the ATEX certification.
It is important that the ring is always intact.
The shaft sealing must be regularly checked, and if dry it
must be lubricated. It is recommended that the seal is relubricated regularly.
Always use the original seal ring when replaced.
Replacing bearings also means replacing the seals.
All machines must be inspected regularly for mechanical
damage.
The user is responsible for changing parts in accordance
with the lifetime of parts, in particular:
bearings, grease and lubrication of shaft sealing.
Maintenance, repairs and replacement on this type must
only be carried out by qualified specialists.

The calculation of the shaft-hub-connection was not considered.
Coupling components with damage occurred during transport are assembled.
If the heated hubs are assembled, the permissible temperature is exceeded.
The clearance of the components to be assembled is not coordinated with one another.
Tightening torques have been fallen below/exceeded.
Components are mixed up by mistake/assembled incorrectly.
No original KTR components (purchased parts) are used.
Old/already worn out elastomer parts or those stored for too long are used.
