Maintenance and repairs
11.4 Test and replacement intervals of the cooling medium
Due to their principle of operation, torque motors are free of wear. To ensure that the motor functions properly and remains free of wear, the following maintenance work needs to be carried out:
●Regularly check that the rotary axes can move without hindrance.
●Keep the air gap free of chippings and particles.
●Regularly check the condition of the motor components.
●Check the current consumption in the test cycle defined beforehand.
Ensure that the motor compartment remains free of contamination (e.g. chippings, oil, etc.). Depending on the local level of contamination, clean the machine to ensure that it functions properly and that heat loss is properly dissipated.
Check the cables to ensure that they are not damaged and are free of wear and tear. Do not use electrical devices with damaged cables.
Make sure that the cable glands are secure.
Intervals between maintenance
Since operating conditions differ greatly, it is not possible to specify intervals between maintenance work.
Indications that maintenance work is required
●Dirt in the motor cabinet
●Distinctive changes in the behavior of the machine
●Unusual sounds emitted by the machine
●Problems with positioning accuracy
●Higher current consumption
