Long-term storage

Observe the storage conditions

Store the gear unit in a dry, clean interior room protected against UV radiation. Temperature changes with formation of condensation, shocks or vibrations are to be avoided.

Failure to comply with the specified storage conditions may result in changes in the processed materials and surfaces on and in the gear unit.

Observe storage times

Ensure suitable storage conditions if the gear units are not installed directly.

For storage times of more than one year, up to two years:

  - Provide shafts and bare surfaces with corrosion protection

  - Store the gear units in a horizontal position

Failure to comply with the specified storage conditions and storage times may result in changes in the processed materials and surfaces on and in the gear unit.

Prevent the formation of condensation

Ensure a constant ambient temperature in the range from 0°C to +40°C at the storage location. Avoid high humidity.

Failure to comply may result in the formation of condensation. Condensation can cause damage in later operation or rust formation on the gear unit.
