Operating and maintenance guidelines
EMK motors
» EMK motors distinguish themselves...
The electrical connection and maintenance of an elec-
tric drive may only be carried out by qualified electrical
personnel, who are conversant with the relevant regu-
lations. Similarly, the applicable accident prevention
regulations are to be adhered to.
Every EMZ motor is dispatched only after the specifi-
cations on the order have been checked, and a trial run
had been carried out. Until installed, the motor is to be
stored dry and in the same way as the mounting positi-
on. For longer stocked motors the insulated resistance
of every phase has to be measured to ground. It has to
be greater than 0,5 MΩ. For trouble free functioning,
proper installation and operation is essential.
Installation
The motor is to be installed according to its mounting
position and on an even and vibration-free base. The
shaft extensions up to 50 mm 0 have tolerances con-
forming to ISO k6 and above to ISO m6. Before fitting,
the rust inhibitor must be removed from the shaft end,
however, care must be exercised to ensure that no sol-
vent penetrates into the bearing. The motor shaft end
has been provided with a centre and a tapped hole, ac-
cording to the DIN specification 332 type D, which can
be used to pull on the transmission elements without
exerting harmful forces on the motor bearings.
Hammer blows and jolts are to be avoided at all times!
So as not to load the motor shaft excessively, the motor
and the driven machine are to be carefully aligned.
Important for installations in wet internal conditions
or outdoors.
Please note that trouble free operation can only be en-
sured if all the measures set out below are carried out.
The motor terminal box is to be fitted so that the cable
entries are directed downwards.
Use suitable conduit screw fittings for the cable being
used and if necessary use reducing nipples.
Conduit screw fittings and plugs are to be coated with
sealing compound, tightened up securely and recoated.
Cable intakes are also to be made completely water-
tight.
The sealing surfaces of terminal boxes and termi¬nal
box covers are to be properly cleaned before reassem-
bly.

Gaskets are to be glued down on one face. Brittle gas-
kets are to be replaced!
When reassembling after maintenance work, etc. the
end shield centring spigots are also to be coated with
sealing compound.
The corrosion protection consists of a number of paint
coatings. Depending on environmental conditions the
paint coating must be renewed on a regular basis or
wherever necessary.

The stated rated motor power applies for a maximum
40 °C ambient temperature and installation altitude up
to 1000 m (3330 feet) above sea level. For higher am-
bient temperatures or installation at greater heights
the power rating is reduced accordingly. (Refer to DIN
57530).
The unimpeded access of ventilating cooling air must
be ensured.
Condensate water drain holes (only on customer‘s re-
quest) are plugged with plastic plugs that can be ope-
ned as required. Open condensate water drain holes are
not permitted because then the IP44 resp. IP55 is lost!
Electrical connection
The motor is connected in accordance with the data
shown on the nameplate and per the accompanying
circuit diagram. Ensure that the terminal links are cor-
rectly placed and all connections, including the protec-
tive earth conductor, are screwed tightly.
To protect the motor from being overloaded, appropri-
ate protective devices must be provided. Fuses do not
give this protection. For motors with high starting fre-
quencies the conventional motor protection is insuffici-
ent; and it is advisable to purchase these motors with
thermistors imbedded in the windings and to monitor
them with an external tripping relay. In this manner the
motors are fully protected against practical all possible
overloads.
Maintenance
For motors up to and including size 132 it is sufficient
to keep the cooling passages cleaned and to check the
bearings. These motors have bearings with service life
lubrication. If the motor is being overhauled the bea-
rings are to be replaced. Motors larger than size 160 are
provided with a lubricator. In addition to keeping the
regularly and relubricated with a grease pump accor-
ding to the schedule below.
Relevant for greasing interval and grease quantity are
the grease labels fitted on the motor.
Please pay attention that the regreasing device may
not be filled for the first greasing interval.
For this, the double grease quantity has to be used.
As soon as the maximum number of relubrications is
exceeded, the old grease must be removed from the
grease chambers and bearings, after which these must
be cleaned thoroughly. Next the inner chambers and
the bearings must be provided with new grease. The
outer chambers may not be filled with grease.
The type of grease to be used for lubricating the be-
arings can be found on the relubrication plate of the
motor.
WARNING:
When motor is exploited in extremely conditions, i.e.:
» dustiness > 800mg/m3
» relative humidity > 80%
» aggressive in air
it is necessary to decrease minimum two times period
between consecutive inspections.
Drain-hole
EMK-motors are equipped with a drain-hole (originally
closed) which has to be opened during service regularly.
