12.1Packaging, storage, and transport guidelines
When packing/unpacking and transporting torque motors or rotors, take measures to minimize risks posed by strong magnetic fields from the rotors (see also "Danger from strong magnetic fields").
DANGER
Risk of death, injury and/or material damage if the devices are packed, stored, or transported incorrectly.
Personnel must be familiar with and observe the safety precautions regarding storage and transport.
When transporting machines or machine parts, take measures to ensure that the rotary axes (axes) cannot move unintentionally (no
Hazards during lifting and transport!
Devices and tools that are badly designed, unsuitable, or damaged can result in personal injury and/or material damage.
Lifting devices, industrial trucks, and load bearing equipment must comply with requirements.
IATA regulations must be observed when components are transported by air.
Storage areas for rotors must be specially identified with pictograms (see "Attaching warning and prohibiting signs").
Keep storage areas dry and ensure that they are not subject to heat or cold. Note the warnings on the packaging.
Wear safety shoes and work gloves.
Take into account the maximum loads that personnel can lift and carry. The motors and their components can weigh more than 13 kg.
Never store or transport
Damaged packaging must be replaced immediately. If rotors are not packaged properly, they are not sufficiently protected against the sudden attractive forces that can occur in their immediate vicinity. Dangerous movements of the rotor can also occur when it is stored or shifted.
Note
If possible, make sure that you retain the packaging for torque motors and rotors. Original packaging can also be requested from your local Siemens office.
