3 RECEIVING, STORAGE AND HANDLING

3.1
RECEIVING
All the motors supplied are tested and are in perfect

operating conditions. All machined surfaces are protected
against corrosion. The package must be checked upon
receipt for occasional damages during transportation.
ATTENTION
All damages must be immediately
photographed, documented, and reported to
the transportation company, to the insurance
company and to WEG. Failure to comply with
such procedures will void the product
warranty.
3.2.2
The motor must be stored in a dry location, free of

flooding and vibrations.
Repair all damages to the package before storing the
motor, which is necessary to ensure proper storage
conditions.
Place the motor on platforms or foundations to protect it
against land humidity and keep it from sinking into the soil.
Free air circulation underneath the motor must be
assured.
The cover or canvas used to protect the motor against the
weather must not be in contact with its surfaces. In order
to ensure free air circulation between the motor and such
covers, place wooden blocks as spacers.
3.2.3
ATTENTION
Parts supplied in additional packages must be
checked upon receipt.
When lifting a package (or container), the correct

hoisting points, the weight indicated in the package or
on the nameplate, and the operating capacity of the
hoisting devices must be observed.
Motors packed in wooden crates must always be lifted
by their own eyebolts or by a proper forklift, and must
never be lifted by its wooden parts;
The package must never be tumbled. Carefully place it
on the floor (without impact) to avoid bearing damage;
Do not remove the grease-based corrosion protection
from the shaft end, nor the closing plugs in terminal box
holes;
These protections must remain in place until the final
assembly. A complete visual inspection of the motor
must be performed after removing the package;
The shaft locking device must only be removed shortly
before installing the motor and stored in a safe location
for future transportation.
3.2
STORAGE
Any damage to the painting or corrosion protection of the

machined parts must be corrected.
ATTENTION
Space heaters must remain active during
storage in order to avoid water condensation
inside the motor.
3.2.1
Indoor storage
If the motor is not installed immediately after reception, it

must remain inside the package and stored in a location
protected against humidity, vapors, fast heat variations,
rodents, and insects.
The motor must be stored in vibration-free locations in
order to avoid bearing damage.
Outdoor storage
Further care during storage
When the motor will be stored for over two months, the
brushes must be lifted and removed from their holder in
order to prevent oxidation caused by the contact with the
commutator.
ATTENTION
Before putting the motor into operation, the
brushes must be placed in their holders again
and their proper setting must be checked.
3.2.4
Extended storage
When the motor is stored for a long period of time

before being operated, it is exposed to external agents,
such as temperature fluctuations, moisture, aggressive
agents, etc.
Empty spaces inside the motor, such as bearing,
terminal boxes, and windings, are exposed to air
humidity, which can cause condensation and,
depending on the degree of air contamination,
aggressive substances may also penetrate these empty
spaces.
Consequently, after long storage periods, the winding
insulation resistance may drop below acceptable values.
Internal components, such as rolling bearings, may
oxidize, and the lubricant power of the lubricant agent in
the bearings may be adversely affected.
All of these influences increase the risk of damage before
starting up the motor.
ATTENTION
All preventive measures described in this
manual, such as constructive aspects,
maintenance, packaging, storage, and
periodical inspections, must be followed and
recorded in order to maintain the product
warranty.
The following instructions are valid for motors stored for
long periods of time and/or idle for two or more months
before being operated.

package must be protected on the site by spraying or
painting it with proper chemical agents;
Package preparation must be carefully executed by
experienced personnel.
3.2.4.1.2 Outdoor storage

ATTENTION
Outdoor storage is not recommended
(weather).
In case outdoor storage is unavoidable, the motor must be
packed in a specific package for such condition, as
follows:
For outdoor storage, besides the packaging
recommended for internal storage, the package must
be covered with a protection against dust, moisture and
other foreign materials, using a resistant canvas or
plastic.
The package must be placed on platforms or
foundations, ensuring protection against dirt and
moisture and keeping the motor from sinking into the
soil;
After the motor is covered, a shelter must be
constructed in order to protect it against direct rain,
snow and excessive sun heat.
ATTENTION
In case the motor remains stored for long
periods of time, it is recommended to inspect
it regularly as specified in item Maintenance
plan during storage of this manual.

HANDLING
In order to lift the motor, use the eyes provided for that
purpose only. If necessary, use a device to space the
lifting cables and thus protect parts of the motor;
The frame eyebolts are designed to lift the motor only.
Do not use them to lift the driven motor-machine unit;
Observe the weight informed;
Do not lift the motor with jolts or place it abruptly on
the floor, which can cause damages to the bearings;
The eyes on the covers, bearings, terminal box, etc.,
are designed to handle these components only;
Never use the shaft to lift the motor.
ATTENTION
Handling of vertical motors must be performed as shown

in Figure 3.2.
Always use the upper eyes of the motor for moving in the
vertical position, ensuring that the lifting chains or cables
also remain in the vertical position, thus avoiding too
much effort in the eyes.
3.3.2.1
Positioning of vertical motors
The vertical motors are supplied with eyes for lifting on

the front and rear.
Some motors are transported in the horizontal position
and need to be moved to their original position. The
following procedure shows the movement of the motors
from the horizontal to the vertical position and vice-versa.
In order to move or transport the motor, the

shaft must be locked with the lock device
supplied with the motor.
The lifting equipment and devices must be
capable of supporting the weight of the
motor.
3.3.1 Handling of horizontal motors

Mximo 30
Figure 3.1: Handling of horizontal motors
Handling of horizontal motors must be performed as

shown in Figure 3.1.
The lifting chains or cables must have a maximum
angle of 30 to the vertical.
In order to lift the motor, use the eyes provided for that
purpose only.
3.3.2 Handling of vertical motors
Figure 3.3: Positioning of vertical motors
1. Lift the motor by means of the side eyes using 2

hoists;
2. Lower the front part of the engine and at the same
time lift the rear part until it reaches balance;
3. Remove the cables from the front of the motor and
turn it 180 to allow the fixture of these cables to the
other eyes of the rear part of the motor;
4. Fix the loose cables to the eyes of the rear part of the

4 INSTALLATION
4.1
LOCAL OF INSTALLATION
Electric motors must be installed in easily accessible

places, allowing periodic inspections, local maintenance
and, if necessary, removal for external services.
The following environment characteristics must be
ensured:
Clean and well-ventilated location;
The installation of other equipment or walls must not
block or hinder the motor ventilation;
The area around and above the motor must be
sufficient for its maintenance or handling;
Fan cooled motors must be at least 50mm above the
floor to allow air inlet;
The environment must be in accordance with the motor
protection degree.
4.2
DIRECTION OF ROTATION
The motor rotation direction is indicated on a plate fixed to

the frame on the drive end.
ATTENTION
Motors supplied with a single direction of
rotation must not operate in the opposite
direction.
In order to operate the motor in the opposite
direction, please contact WEG.

INSULATION RESISTANCE
Safety Instructions
DANGER
In order to measure the insulation resistance,
the motor must be shutdown and still.
The winding being tested must be connected
to the frame and grounded until all residual
electrostatic charges are removed.
Noncompliance with these procedures may
result in personnel injuries.
4.3.2
4.3.3
Measurement on the windings
The insulation resistance must be measured with a

megohmmeter. The test voltage for motor windings must
be in accordance with the IEEE43 standard.

Before measuring the winding insulation resistance, check

that:
The brushes are lifted;
All power cables are disconnected;
The motor frame is grounded;
The winding temperature was measured;
All temperature sensors are grounded.
Measure the winding insulation resistance as follows:
Commutation/compensation winding:
Terminal B2 and frame;
Excitation winding:
Terminals F1 / F2 and frame;
Armature winding: Wrap the commutator with a bare
flexible wire (or flexible braid) and measure the
commutator insulation resistance to the ground (frame).
ATTENTION
Much higher values may be frequently obtained
in motors being operated for a long period of
time. Comparison with values obtained in
previous tests in the same motor, under similar
load, temperature, and humidity conditions, may
be an excellent parameter to evaluate the
winding insulation conditions, instead of
exclusively using the value obtained in a single
test as the basis. Significant or abrupt reductions
in the insulation resistance are considered
suspicious.
General considerations
When motor is not immediately operated, it must be

protected against moisture, high temperatures, and dirt,
avoiding impacts to the insulation resistance.
Winding insulation resistance must be measured before
operating the motor.
If the environment is too humid, the insulation resistance
must be measured periodically during storage. It is difficult
to establish fixed rules for the actual value of a motor
insulation resistance, as it varies according to
environmental conditions (temperature, humidity), machine
cleanliness conditions (dust, oil, grease, dirt), and quality
and condition of the insulating material used.
Evaluating periodical follow-up records is useful to
conclude whether the motor is able to operate.

WEG.
4.3.5
Conversion of measured values
The insulation resistance must be kept at 40C. If the

measurement is performed at a different temperature, it
will be necessary to correct the reading to 40C by using
an insulation resistance variation curve according to the
temperature obtained from the motor itself. If this curve is
not available, the approximate correction provided by the
curve in Figure 4.1, according to the NBR 5383 / IEEE43
standard, may be employed.

Thermal protections
The protection devices against overheating are installed on

the poles, bearings and other component parts that
require temperature monitoring and thermal protection.
Those devices must be connected to an external
temperature monitoring and protection system.

Temperature limits for the windings
The temperature of the winding hottest spot must be kept

below the insulation thermal class limit. The total
temperature is composed by the ambient temperature
plus temperature elevation (T), plus the difference
between the average winding temperature and the
winding hottest spot temperature.
www.weg.net
The ambient temperature is normally, at most, 40C.

Above this value, the working conditions are considered
special.
The numeric values and the composition of the acceptable
temperature at the winding hottest spot are indicated in

ATTENTION
The alarm and tripping values may be

determined as a result of experience, but
cannot exceed the values indicated in Table
4.4 and Table 4.5.
In case the motor operates with temperatures

in the windings above the limit values of the
insulation thermal class, the useful life of the
insulation and, consequently, of the motor, will
be significantly reduced or it may even cause
the burnout of the motor.
4.4.1.3
ATTENTION
The motor protection devices are listed in the
WEG design - Specific wiring diagram of each
motor.
The decision of not using those devices is full
responsibility of the user; and in case of
damages, it can void the warranty.
Alarm and tripping temperatures
The temperature level for alarm and tripping must be set

as low as possible. This temperature level can be
determined based on test results or through the motor
operating temperature. The alarm temperature can be set
for 10C above the machine operating temperature at full
load, always considering the highest local ambient
temperature. The temperature values set for tripping must
not exceed the maximum acceptable temperatures for the

Space heater
ATTENTION
When the motor is equipped with space heaters to

prevent water from condensing inside during long periods
out of operation, you must ensure they are powered on
right after the motor is shut down and that they are
powered down before the motor goes into operation.
The motor wiring diagram and a specific nameplate fixed
to the motor specify the power supply and power rating of
the space heaters.
4.4.2
The data of the heat exchangers that

compose the air-water heat exchanger are
described on the nameplate and dimension
drawing of the motor.
This data must be observed for the proper
operation of the motor cooling system and
thus prevent overheating.
Water leak sensor

4.5.1.1
Motors with air-water heat exchanger feature a water leak

sensor intended to detect any water leak from the heat
exchanger into the motor. This sensor must be connected
to the control panel, according to the wiring diagram of
the motor. The signal of this sensor must be used for
alarm.
When this protection goes off, the heat exchanger must
be inspected and, if any water leak is detected, the motor
must be shut down and the problem corrected.
4.5
ATTENTION
In case of heat exchangers to work with
seawater, in order to avoid corrosion, the
materials in contact with water (pipes and
flush plates) must be resistant to corrosion.
Besides, the heat exchangers may feature
sacrificial anodes (for instance: zinc or
manganese) according to Figure 4.2. In this
application, anodes are corroded during
operation of the heat exchanger, protecting
the exchanger heads.
In order to keep the integrity of the heads,
these anodes must be periodically replaced,
according to the corrosion degree presented.
COOLING
Only the proper installation of the motor and of the cooling

system can ensure its continuous operation without
overheating.
4.5.1
Heat exchangers for application with

seawater
Water heat exchangers
The water heat exchanger (when used) is a surface heat

transmitter designed to dissipate heat of electrical
equipment or others in an indirect way, that is, air in
closed circuit is cooled by the heat exchanger after
removing the heat generated by the equipment that must
be cooled.
The heat transmission occurs from the equipment to the
air and from the air to the water.
Sacrificial Anodes
NOTE
The protection devices of the cooling system
must be monitored periodically;
NOTE
The water inlets and outlets must not be
blocked, since that could cause overheating
and even the burnout of the motor.
Clean water, with the characteristics below, must be used
as coolant:
PH: 6 to 9;
Chlorides: maximum 25.0 mg/l;
Sulfates: maximum 3.0 mg/l;
Manganese: maximum 0.5 mg/l;
Suspended solids: maximum 30.0 mg/l;
Ammonia: no traces
22 l
Figure 4.2: Heat exchanger with sacrificial anodes
NOTE
The type, quantity and position of the
sacrificial anodes may vary from application to
application.
4.5.2
Independent fans
Independent fans (when used) normally feature a threephase asynchronous motor for the drive. The terminal box
of this motor is normally located on its frame. The
characteristic data (frequency, voltage, etc.) are indicated
on the nameplate of this motor and the direction of
rotation is generally indicated by a plate with an arrow
fixed to the fan housing or close to it.
www.weg.net
NOTE
ATTENTION
Inspect visually the direction of rotation of the

independent fan before starting the machine.
If the fan is turning in the wrong direction, the
connection of two phases of the fan must be
inverted.
Before making the connections between the

motor and the electric energy, it is necessary
to measure carefully the winding insulation
resistance.
Also, the air filters that protect the motor inside against
contamination must be checked periodically. The filters
must be kept in perfect conditions to ensure the proper
operation of the cooling system and safe protection of the
sensitive internal parts of the motor.
4.6
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
4.6.1
4.6.1.1
Electric connections
Main connection
The motor stator terminals are fixed in insulators in the main

terminal box or by means of copper terminals, depending
on the mounting style of the motor.
The location of the terminal boxes is identified in the specific
dimension drawing of each motor.
The connections to the terminals must be done according
to the specific connection diagram for the motor.
Make sure the section and insulation of the connection
cables are suitable for the motor current and voltage.
The identification of the terminals and the corresponding
connection are indicated in the connection diagram
specific for each motor, in compliance with IEC60034-8 or
NEMA MG1 standards.
The direction of rotation of the motor can be changed by
reversing the polarity of the power supply of the excitation
or the armature. The motor must rotate in the direction of
rotation specified on the indicative connection plate fixed
on the motor.
In order to connect the motor main power supply cables,

unscrew the stator terminal box cover, cut the sealing
rings (standard motors without cable gland) according to
the diameter of the cables to be used and insert the
cables inside the sealing rings. Cut the power supply
cables to the necessary length, strip the ends and mount
the terminals to be used.
4.6.1.2
Grounding
The motor frame and the main terminal box must be

grounded before connecting the motor to the supply
system.
Connect the metal cover of the cables (if applicable) to the
common grounding conductor. Cut the grounding
conductor to the proper length and connect it to the
connector in the terminal box and/or frame.
Fasten all connections firmly.
ATTENTION
Do not use steel washers or another low
electric conductivity material to fasten the
terminals.
Before making connections, apply protective grease on all
connections of the contacts.
Insert all the sealing rings in the respective slots. Close the
terminal box cover, always observing if the sealing rings
are correctly placed.
ATTENTION
The inversion of the field can only occur with
the motor off.
NOTE
The direction of rotation is determined looking
at the shaft end from the drive end of the
motor.
Motors with a single direction of rotation must
only turn in the indicated direction, since the
fans and other devices are unidirectional.
In order to operate the motor in the direction
of rotation opposite the specified, contact

4.7.1
MECHANICAL
CHARACTERISTICS
Foundations
The foundation or structure where the motor will be

installed must be properly strong and flat, free of
external vibration and capable to stand the mechanical
forces it will undergo during the start or short circuit of
the motor;
The type of foundation will depend on the kind of soil at
the assembly site or on the floor resistance;
If the dimensioning of the foundation is not carefully
done, serious vibration problems may affect the
foundation set, motor and driving machine;
The structure dimensioning of the foundation must be
done based on the dimension drawing, on the
information regarding the mechanical forces on the
foundations, and on the form of fixing the motor.
ATTENTION
Use shims of different thicknesses (total
thickness of approximately 2 mm) between
the motor feet and the foundation surfaces so
that later you can make a precise vertical
alignment.
4.7.3
4.7.3.1
Base types
Concrete base
The concrete bases are the most widely used for the
installation of these motors.
The type and size of the foundation, bolts and anchoring
plates depend on the motor size and type.
4.7.3.2
Sliding base
In pulley drive, the motor must always be mounted on the

sliding base (rails) and the lower part of the belt must be
tractioned.
The closest rail to the driving pulley must be mounted so
that the positioning bolt stays between the motor and the
driven machine. The other rail must be mounted with the
bolt in the opposite position as shown in Figure 4.4.
The motor is bolted on rails and positioned on the
foundation.
The driving pulley is then aligned so as its center is in the
same plane as that of the driven pulley and the motor and
machine shafts are parallel.
The belt must not be too tensioned. After the alignment,
the rails are fixed.
NOTE
The user is responsible for dimensioning and
building the foundation.
Figure 4.4: Sliding base
4.7.2
Forces on the foundations
Based on Figure 4.3, the forces on the foundation can be

calculated by the equations:
(4C max)
( A)
(4C max)
F2 = +0.5.m.g .
( A)
F1 = +0.5.m.g . +
Where: F1 and F2 - Reaction of the feet on the base (N)

g - Gravity acceleration (9.81m/s)
m - Motor mass (kg)
Cmax - Maximum torque (Nm)
A - Obtained from the motor dimension drawing
(m)
4.7.3.3
Metal base
The motor feet must be settled evenly on the metal base

so as to prevent deformations of the frame. Occasional
height errors of the motor foot rest surface can be
corrected with shims (a maximum height of 2 mm is
recommended).
Do not remove the machines from the common base to
align them. The base must be leveled on the foundation
itself by using spirit levels or other leveling devices.
When a metal base is used to adjust the height of the
motor shaft end with the machine shaft end, it must be
leveled on the concrete base.
After the base is leveled, the anchors tightened and the
couplings checked, the metal base and the anchors are
cemented.
4.7.3.4
Anchors
Anchors are devices to fix motors directly on the

foundation, when the motors are applied with elastic
coupling. This kind of coupling is characterized by the
absence of force on the bearings, besides presenting
lower investment costs.
Anchors must not be painted, neither present rust, as this
would be detrimental to the adherence of the concrete
and would cause their take-up.

www.weg.net
Figure 4.5: Anchors
4.7.6
Foundation natural frequency
In order to ensure a safe operation, besides a solid

foundation, the motor must be precisely aligned with the
equipment it is coupled with, and the component parts
mounted on its shaft must be properly balanced.
With the motor mounted and coupled, the relations
between the natural frequencies of the foundation are:
The motor rotation frequency;
The double of the rotation frequency;
The double of the line frequency.
half the difference of the dial gauge measurement in the 0

and 180 points represents the vertical coaxial error. In
case of deviation, it must be properly corrected, adding or
removing assembly shims. Half the difference of the dial
gauge measurement in the 90 and 270 points represents
the horizontal coaxial error.
This measurement indicates when it is necessary to lift or
lower the motor, or move it to the right or to the left on the
driven side in order to eliminate the coaxial failure.
Half the difference of the dial indicator maximum
measurement in a complete turn represents the maximum
found run out.
The misalignment in a complete turn of the rigid or semiflexible coupling cannot exceed 0.03 mm.
When flexible couplings are used, values that are greater
than those indicated above are acceptable, provided that
they do not exceed the acceptable value specified by the
coupling manufacturer.
Maintaining a safety margin for these values is
recommended.
Angular misalignment
These natural frequencies must be in accordance with the

specified below:
Natural frequency of the first order of the foundation
+25% or -20% in relation to the frequencies above;
Natural frequencies of the foundation of higher orders
+10% or -10% in relation to the frequencies above.
4.7.4
Alignment and leveling
The motor must be correctly aligned with the driven

machine, mainly when using the direct coupling.
Incorrect alignment can damage the bearings, generate
excessive vibration and even break the shaft.
The alignment must be carried out according to the
recommendations of the coupling manufacturer.
Especially in direct couplings, the motor and driven
machine shafts must be aligned in the axial and radial
directions, as shown in Figure 4.6 and Figure 4.7.
Parallel misalignment
Horizontal Mount
Vertical M
Radial measurement
Figure 4.6: Parallel alignment
Figure 4.6 shows the parallel misalignment of the two

shaft ends and a practical form to measure it by using
proper dial gauges.
Measurement is performed in four points with a 90
displacement from each other and with the two halfcouplings spinning together in order to eliminate the
effects of irregularities on the support surface on the tip of
the dial gauge. Choosing a vertical point greater than 0,

Figure 4.7 shows the angular misalignment and a practical

form to measure it.
Measurement is performed in four points with a 90

of irregularities on the support surface on the tip of the dial

difference of the dial indicator measurement in the 0 and
180 points represents a vertical misalignment. In case of
deviation, it must be properly corrected, adding or removing
assembly shims from the motor feet.
Half of the dial indicator measurement difference in the 90
and 270 points represents a horizontal misalignment,
which must be adequately corrected by displacing the
motor in the lateral/angular direction.
Half the difference of the dial indicator maximum
measurement in a complete turn represents the maximum
angular misalignment found.
The misalignment in a complete turn of the rigid or semiflexible coupling cannot exceed 0.03 mm.
When flexible couplings are used, values that are greater
than those indicated above are acceptable, provided that
they do not exceed the acceptable value specified by the
coupling manufacturer.
Maintaining a safety margin for these values is
recommended.
www.weg.net
In the alignment/leveling, the influence of temperature on

the motor and driven machine must be taken into
account. Different dilatations of the component parts may
change the alignment/leveling conditions during operation.
4.7.5
Couplings
Only proper couplings must be used, which convey only

torque, without generating transversal forces.
The centers of the motor and driven machine shafts must
be in a single line for elastic and rigid couplings as well.
Elastic couplings aim at mitigating the residual
misalignment effects and preventing vibration transmission
between the coupled machines, which does not happen
when you use rigid couplings.
The coupling must be assembled or removed with the aid
of proper devices and never by means of rudimentary
tools, such as hammers, mallets, etc.
4.7.5.2
Coupling by gears
Coupling by gears poorly aligned generate vibration in its

transmission and motor. Therefore, the shafts must be
perfectly aligned, precisely parallel in the case of straight
gears and in the precise angle in the case of helical or
bevel gears.
The perfect gear alignment can be controlled by inserting
a paper strip which will show the trace of all the teeth after
a complete turn of the gear.

Coupling by means of pulleys and

belts

Incorrect
ATTENTION
Pins, nuts, washers and leveling shims may
be supplied with the motor when requested
by the customer in the purchase order.
NOTES
The user is responsible for installing the
motor.
WEG is not liable for damages to the motor,
associated equipment and installation
occurred due to:
Excessive vibration transmission;
Poor installations;
Faulty alignment;
Improper storage conditions;
Noncompliance with the instructions before
commissioning;
Incorrect electric connections.
4.7.5.1
Incorrect
Figure 4.9: Coupling by means of pulleys and belts
When a speed ratio is necessary, the drive by belt is the

most commonly used.
In order to avoid unnecessary radial force on the bearings,
the shafts and pulleys must be perfectly aligned.
Belts that work diagonally convey impacts to the rotor and
may damage the bearing seat.
Belt slippage can be prevented by applying some resin
such as pitch.
The belt tension must be just enough to prevent slippage
during operation.
NOTE
Belts too tensioned increase the stress on the
shaft end, causing vibration and fatigue, or
even the break of the shaft.
Direct coupling
Because of costs, space, absence of belt sliding, and

greater safety against accidents, direct coupling must be
used whenever possible. Also in case of using reduction
gearing, direct coupling is recommended.
Avoid using too small pulleys; they cause bends in the

motor because the tension increases in the belt as the
diameter of the pulley decreases.
ATTENTION
ATTENTION
Carefully align the shaft ends, and, whenever
possible, use flexible coupling, leaving a
minimum clearance of 3 mm between the
couplings as shown in Figure 4.8.
In each specific case of the pulley

dimensioning, WEG must be consulted to
ensure correct application.
NOTE
Always use pulleys properly balanced. Avoid,
in all cases, parts of the key, because they
represent an increase of the unbalancing
mass. If this is not observed, there will be an
increase in vibration levels.

Coupling of motors equipped with

sleeve bearings
Axial clearance
Axial clearance
In operation, the arrow must be positioned on the

central mark (red), which indicates that the rotor is in its
magnetic center;
During the start, or even in operation, the motor may
move freely between the two external limit marks.
ATTENTION
Under no circumstances can the motor
operate constantly under axial force on the
bearing.
Shaft
Bearing shell
The sleeve bearings used are not designed to stand

constant axial stress.
After aligning the set and having assured a perfect
alignment (both, cold and hot), the motor must be fixed on
the anchor plate or on the base, as shown in Figure 4.12.
Figure 4.10: Sleeve bearing
Motors equipped with sleeve bearings must operate

with direct coupling to the driven machine or by means
of a gear box. This kind of bearing does not allow
coupling by pulleys and belts.
Motors equipped with sleeve bearings have three marks
on the shaft end, seeing that the central mark (painted red)
is the indication of the magnetic center, and the two
external marks indicate the allowed limits of axial
movement of the rotor.
Weld in 4 spots
Figure 4.12: Fixing of the motor
Axial clearance
Figure 4.11: Magnetic center mark
For the motor coupling, the following factors must be

taken into account:
Bearing axial clearance;
Axial displacement of the driven machine (if applicable);
The maximum axial clearance allowed by the coupling.
ATTENTION
Move the shaft fully forward and then
properly measure the axial clearance;
Carefully align the shaft ends, and,

whenever possible, use flexible coupling,
leaving a minimum clearance of 3 to 4 mm
between the couplings.
NOTE
If it is not possible to move the shaft, you
must consider the shaft position, the travel of
the shaft forward (according to the marks on
the shaft) and the axial clearance
recommended for the coupling.
Before starting operation, you must check if the motor
shaft allows free axial movement within the clearance
conditions aforementioned;

5 START
The start of DC motors may be classified by the types of drives, as described below:
5.1
POWER SUPPLIES
In order to obtain a DC voltage of variable level, you can

use various methods, some listed below:
a.
Starting Switches
d.
Pure DC (Battery bank )
In case of pure DC or battery bank start, WEG

recommends that you use start resistors to drive the DC
motor.
The use of start resistors is intended to limit the current of
the DC motor during its start.
The armature and field current can be set by means of

variable resistances on scales.
The disadvantage is the high heat losses generated.
b.
Ward-Leonard system
K1
K2
K3
KX
R1
R2
R3
RX
RA
The requirement for drives with fast regulation of the

rotation without scaling was met by the Ward-Leonard
regulation system.
Rotation of the DC motor can be changed continuously
by varying the exciting current of the generator. Its
disadvantage is the use of at least 3 machines.
c.
Static converters
These converters basically consist of a thyristor rectifier

bridge that provides DC voltage with variable tension
from a variable DC voltage.
The converters can be powered by three-phase network
in 220, 380 or 440V or by single-phase network,
connected between phase and neutral or between phase
and phase. This will basically depend on the motor power
and its application in the system to drive.

ATTENTION
The start by means of battery accumulators
without using a start resistor may cause
damage to the DC motor, due to the high
start current, and, depending on the number
of starts, it can decrease the battery useful
life.

6 COMMISSIONING
6.1
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Before the first motor start or after a long time out of

operation, the following items must be checked:
1. The motor fixing bolts must be tightened;
2. Measure the insulation resistance of the windings,
making sure they are within the specified value;
3. Check if the motor is clean and if the packages,
measuring instruments and alignment devices were
removed from the motor operating area;
4. Check if coupling connecting components are in
perfect operating conditions, duly tightened and
greased, when necessary;
5. The motor must be properly aligned;
6. Check if the bearings are properly lubricated. The
lubricant must be of the type specified on the
nameplate.
7. Check the oil level in the motors with oil-lubricated
bearings. Bearings with forced lubrication must have
the oil pressure and flow as specified in their
nameplate;
8. Inspect the cable connections of accessories
(thermal protectors, grounding, space heaters, etc.);
9. Check if all electric connections comply with the
motor wiring diagram;
10. The motor must be properly grounded;
11. The conductors connected to the main terminals
must be properly tightened to make a short circuit
impossible or that they eventually get loose;
12. Inspect the cooling system. In motors with water
cooling, inspect the operation of the heat exchanger
water supply system. In motors with independent
ventilation, check the direction of rotation of the fans;
13. Motor air inlets and outlets must be clear;
14. Check if the air cleaner is clean;
15. The movable parts of the motor must be protected
to prevent accidents;
16. The terminal box covers must be properly fastened;
17. All the motor bolts must be properly fastened;
18. Check if the supply is in accordance with the data of
the motor nameplate;
19. Check the conditions of the brush holder and
commutator;
20. Check if the brushes are well settled, aligned with
the commutator and if they easily slide inside the
brush holders;
36 l
6.2
INITIAL START-UP
After all the inspections described above have been

made, the following procedures must be followed to
perform the motor initial start-up:
1. Disconnect all space heaters;
2. Adjust the protections in the control panel;
3. In oil-lubricated bearings, check the oil level;
4. In forced-lubrication bearings, start the oil circulation
system and check the level, the flow and oil pressure,
ensuring they comply with the data on the nameplate.
5. If the system has an oil flow detection device, you
must wait for the flow return signal of the circulation
system of both bearings, which ensures the oil has
reached the bearings;
6. Start the cooling industrial water system and check
the required flow and pressure (motors with air-water
heat exchanger);
7. Turn on the fans (motors with forced ventilation);
8. Rotate the motor shaft slowly to make sure there are
no parts dragging or unusual noises are occurring;
9. After the above steps have been completed
satisfactorily, you can proceed with the star sequence
of the motor;
10. Start the motor, by first applying the excitation
voltage (field);
11. Soon after, apply voltage on the armature,
accelerating the motor up to the rated speed;
12. Check the direction of rotation with the motor
uncoupled;
13. The direction of rotation of the motor can be changed
by reversing the polarity of the power supply of the
excitation or the armature.
ATTENTION
The inversion of the field can only occur with
the machine off.
Motors supplied with a single direction of
rotation must not operate in the opposite
direction.
In order to operate the motor in the opposite
direction, please contact WEG.
14. Keep the motor turning at the rated speed and record
the bearing temperatures at 1-minute intervals until
they become constant. Any sudden increase in
bearing temperature indicates lubrication or friction
surface issues;
15. Monitor the bearing temperature, oil level of the
bearings and the vibration levels. If there is a
significant variation of any value, interrupt the start of
the motor, detect the possible causes and make
corrections;
16. When bearing temperatures stabilize, you can
continue with the other steps to operate the motor.
www.weg.net
ATTENTION
The noncompliance with the procedures
described above may jeopardize the motor
performance, cause damages and even lead
to a burnout, voiding the warranty.
6.3
OPERATION
The operating procedures vary considerably due to the

application of the motor and type of equipment and
control used.
Only general procedures are described in this manual.
For the operating procedures of the control system, you
must refer to the specific manual of this equipment.
6.3.1
The temperatures of the commutation and compensation

windings, which are connected in series with the
armature, depend on the load condition of the engine.
Therefore, the values of armature voltage and current
must be monitored during the motor operation too.
6.3.3
Temperatures
The temperature of the bearings, poles and ventilation

air must be monitored while the motor is running;
The temperature of the bearings and poles must
stabilize in a period of four to eight hours of operation;
General
After the first successful start test, couple the motor and
the load driven and then the start procedure can be
restarted as follows:
Start the motor coupled to the load, first applying the
excitation voltage (field) by means of the AC/DC
excitation converter.
Soon after, apply voltage on the armature, using the
acceleration ramp in accordance with the maximum
current of the parameterized start on the AC/DC
converter, accelerating the motor up to the rated
speed
Keep the motor running until it reaches its thermal
stability and observe if unusual noises and vibrations or
excessive heating are occurring. If there are significant
vibration variations from the initial working condition to
the condition after it reaches its thermal stability, it is
necessary to check the alignment and leveling.
Measure and compare the consumed electric current
to the value indicated on the nameplate;
In continuous duty, without load oscillation, the value
of the current measured must not exceed the value
indicated on the plate multiplied by the duty factor;
All measurement and control instruments and devices
must be permanently monitored to detect occasional
alterations, determine the causes and make the proper
corrections.
ATTENTION
Check the real condition of the load that the
motor will be submitted in working duty and, if
necessary, resize the brush set. If you have
any questions, contact WEG.
6.3.2
At the start of operation, the values must be checked

every 15 minutes. After some hours of operation, check
those values every hour, progressively increasing.
Make these records daily during a period of 5 to 6 weeks.
Data record
The following data must be collected and recorded

periodically during the motor operation:
Temperature of the bearings;
The oil level of the bearings (oil-lubricated bearings).
Temperature of the excitation, commutation and
compensation winding;
Temperature of the air inlet and outlet of the motor;
Motor vibration level;
Armature and field voltage and current.
6.3.4
Bearings
The system start must be monitored carefully, as well as

the first hours of operation.
Before starting the motor, check:
If the external lubrication system (if applicable) is ON;
If the lubricant used complies with all specifications;
Lubricant characteristics;
The oil level (oil-lubricated bearings).
The alarm and shutdown temperatures set for the
bearing;
During the first start-up, it is important to inspect for
unusual vibrations or noises;
If the bearing is not running silently and smoothly, the
motor must be immediately shutdown;
The motor must operate for several hours until bearing
temperatures stabilize within the previously specified
limits;
In case of overtemperature, the motor must be
immediately shutdown, bearings and temperature
sensors must be inspected and the causes corrected;
After the bearing temperatures stabilize, check if there
are no leaks through the plugs, gaskets or shaft end.
6.3.5
Heat exchangers
To control the temperature at the heat exchanger inlet

and outlet and, if necessary correct the water flow;
Set the water pressure just the necessary to overcome
the resistance imposed by the pipes and heat
exchanger;
In order to control the motor operation, it is
recommended to install thermometers at the heat
exchanger air and water inlet and outlet and record
those temperatures at certain time intervals;
When installing the thermometers, you may also install
recording or signaling instruments (siren, light bulbs) in
certain places.
Inspection of the performance of the heat exchanger
In order to control the operation, it is recommended to
measure the temperatures at the heat exchanger water
and air inlet and outlet and record them periodically.
The heat exchanger performance is expressed by the
temperature difference between the cold water and
cold air during normal operation. This difference must
be periodically controlled. If an increase in this
difference is observed after a long period of normal
37
www.weg.net
operation, probably the heat exchanger must be

cleaned.
A reduction of performance or damage to the heat
exchanger may also occur by air accumulation inside
it. In this case, removing the air from the heat
exchanger and pipes may correct the problem;
The pressure difference on the water side may be
considered an indicator of the need of cleaning the
heat exchanger;
We also recommend measuring and recording the
pressure difference of the water before and after the
heat exchanger. Periodically, the new values measured
are compared to the original value, and an increase of
the pressure difference indicates the need of cleaning
the heat exchanger.
6.3.6
Vibration
The acceptable vibration levels must be directly obtained

in the standard referring to the motor.
Figure 6.1: Standards to evaluate the vibration in coupled
motors
Application
Measurement in
non-rotating parts
DC Motors
ISO 10816-3

Common causes of vibration are:

Misalignment between the motor and the equipment;
Inadequate fixation of the motor to the base, with
"loose shims" under one or more of the motor feet,
and loose fixation bolts;
Inadequate or not sufficiently strong base;
External vibrations from other devices.
ATTENTION
Operating the motor with vibration levels
above the values provided above may
jeopardize its useful life and/or performance.
38 l
6.3.7
Tripping
The tripping of the motor depends on its application, but

the main directions are:
Reduce the load on the driven equipment, if possible;
Reduce the armature voltage until the motor stops
and disconnect the armature supply;
Disconnect the excitation supply
Use regenerative or counter-current braking, according
to the options of the AC/DC converter. In case of
battery supply, first disconnect the armature voltage
and after the excitation voltage.
Shut down the oil circulation system of the bearings (if
applicable) after complete stop;;
Shut down the water supply system for the heat
exchanger heat exchangers (if applicable).
Shutoff the forced ventilation system (if applicable).
Turn on the space heater (if applicable) if it is not
automatically done by control devices;
DANGER
While the motor is turning, even after
disconnected, there is life danger when
touching any of the active parts of the motor.
www.weg.net
7 MAINTENANCE
7.1
General
A proper motor maintenance plan, when properly

executed, includes the following recommendations:
Keep the motor and all related equipment clean;
Periodically measure the insulation resistance;
Routinely measure the temperature of windings,
bearings and ventilation system;
Inspect wear, operation of the lubrication system and
useful life of the bearings;
Check possible wear of the brushes and commutators;
Check the ventilation system to ensure air is flowing
correctly;
Inspect the heat exchanger;
Measure the machine vibration levels;
Inspect the associated equipment (hydraulic unit,
water system etc.)
Check all of the motor accessories, protections and
connections, ensuring that they are operating properly;
ATTENTION
Noncompliance with the recommendations
aforementioned may cause undesired stops
of the equipment.
The frequency with which such inspections
are performed depends on local application
conditions.
Where it is necessary to transport the motor,
care should be taken not to damage the
bearings. Use the device supplied with the
motor to lock the shaft.
If the motor requires reconditioning or
replacement of any damaged parts, please
contact WEG.
7.2
GENERAL CLEANING
The frame must be kept clean, without oil or dust built

up on its external part in order to make the heat
exchange with the ambient easier.
The interior of the motor must also be kept clean, and
free from dust, debris and oils;
For cleaning, use brushes or clean cotton cloths. If the
dust is not abrasive, an industrial vacuum cleaner must
be used to remove the dirt from the fan cover and the
excess of dust on fan blades and on the frame;
Debris impregnated with oil or moisture may be
removed with a cloth soaked in appropriate solvents;
It is also recommended to clean the terminal boxes.
Terminals and connectors must be kept clean, rustfree and in perfect operating conditions. Avoid contact
between connecting parts and grease or verdigris.
7.3
INSPECTIONS IN THE WINDINGS
The measurements of the insulation resistance of the

windings should be made at regular intervals, mainly
during wet times or after prolonged motor stops.
The windings must undergo a careful visual inspection at
frequent intervals, recording and fixing any damage or
default observed.
Low values or sudden variations in the insulation
resistance must be carefully investigated.
At points where the insulation resistance may be low (due
to an excess of dust or moisture), it may be increased
back to the required values by removing the dust and
drying up humidity on the windings.
7.4
WINDING CLEANING
For satisfactory operation and longer useful life of

insulated winding, it is recommended to keep them free
of dirt, oil, metallic dust, contaminants, etc.
In order to do so, it is necessary that the winding be
periodically inspected and cleaned and that it operates in
clean air. If re-impregnation is necessary, contact WEG.
The winding may be cleaned with industrial vacuum
cleaner with a non-metallic thin tip or just a dry cloth.
Winding drying time after cleaning varies depending on
weather conditions, such as temperature, humidity, etc.
DANGER
Most solvents currently used are highly
toxic and/or flammable.
Inspections
The following inspections must be performed after the
winding is carefully cleaned:
Check the connections and winding insulation.
Check if spacers, bindings, groove wedges, bandages
and supports are fixed correctly.
Check if there were no breaks, if there are no faulty
welds, short circuit between turns and against the
mass in the coils and connections. In case of detecting
any irregularity, immediately contact WEG.
Ensure that all cables are properly connected and that
terminal fixation components are duly tightened. If
necessary, do the retightening.
Re-impregnation
If any layer of resin on the windings is damaged during
cleaning or inspection, such parts must be corrected with
adequate material (in this case, please contact WEG).
Insulation resistance
Insulation resistance must be measured after all
maintenance procedures have been performed.
39
www.weg.net
7.6.1
ATTENTION
Before putting the motor into operation, in
case it remained out of operation for some
time, it is essential to measure the
insulation resistance of the windings and
ensure that the values meet the
specifications.
7.5
CLEAN BRUSH COMPARTMENT
The dust from the brush compartment must be

cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, removing dust from
the brushes out of the motor ;
The commutator must be cleaned with a dry clean
cloth which does not release lint;
The spaces between blades must be cleaned with a
vacuum cleaner hose;
Do not use solvents to clean the commutator ,
because the vapor of such products jeopardizes the
operation of the brushes and commutator;
Do not remove the film formed by the deposit of
material of the brushes on the commutator (patina)
since this is beneficial for the motor commutation.
Clear supports of the brush holders and the brush
connection terminals, which can be covered with dust
brushes;
Remove the brushes and clean them to ensure that
they move freely in the enclosure;
Air filters (if applicable) must be removed and cleaned
every two months or before if necessary.
7.6
MAINTENANCE OF THE
COOLING SYSTEM
The air-air heat exchanger pipes (if applicable) must be

kept clean and unblocked in order to ensure a perfect
heat exchange. In order to remove the dirt
accumulated inside the pipes, a rod with round brush
on the tip can be used.
For air-water heat exchangers, it is necessary to
periodically clean he heat exchanger pipes to remove
any crusts.
NOTE
If the motor is equipped with filters in the air
inlet and/or outlet, they should be cleaned
with a compressed air application
If the dust is difficult to remove, wash the filter
in cold water with mild detergent and dry it in
the horizontal position.
40 l
Maintenance of heat exchangers
Using clean water, the heat exchanger may remain in

operation for several years, without having to be cleaned.
With too dirty water, it is necessary to clean it every 12
months.
The level of dirt in the heat exchanger may be detected
by the air temperatures increase in the outlet. When the
temperature of the cold air, in the same operating
conditions, exceeds the specified value, you can assume
the pipes are dirty.
If corrosion is observed, it is necessary to provide a
proper protection against corrosion (for instance, zinc
anodes, cover with plastic, epoxy or other similar
protection products) in order to prevent greater damages
to the affected parts.
The external surface of all parts of the heat exchanger
must be always kept in good conditions.
Instructions for removing and maintaining the heat
exchanger
In order to remove the heat exchanger for maintenance,
follow the steps below:
1. Close all the water inlet and outlet valves after
stopping the ventilation;
2. Drain the heat exchanger water through the drain
plugs;
3. Loosen the heads and keep the bolts, nuts and
washers and gaskets together in a safe place;
4. Carefully brush the pipes inside with nylon brushes to
remove the residue. If during the cleaning operation,
damages to the heat exchanger pipes are observed,
they must be repaired;
5. Reassemble the heads, replacing the gaskets if
necessary.
7.7
Commutator
The good condition of the commutator is essential for the

perfect behavior of the direct current machine.
Therefore, it is important its periodic observation.
The commutator must be kept free of the presence of oil
and grease and the furrow among the blades must be
kept clean.
In normal operation, the patina that is formed on the
commutator will present a dark brown or lightly black
coloration. If the surface is bright, glossy or rough, it is
likely that the type of brushes must be replaced. On the
other hand, a layer of thick black coloration, which
generally occurs with prolonged overloads, in the
presence of moisture, indicates an excessive deposition
of the material on the commutator. In these cases this
layer must be removed by means of pumice (artificial) or
fine sandpaper (no. 220).
When leaving the factory, the commutator is machined
and the patina is preformed in the test. Therefore, it does
not need any treatment on its surface before the motor is
put into operation.
The commutator wear normally occurs uniformly along
the tracks.
If it is determined visually an uneven wear along the
periphery of the commutator, contact WEG immediately.
The commutator wear is measured on the lane position
of the brushes in relation to the area not used. Whenever
this difference exceeds 0.1mm, the commutator should
be reconditioned.
www.weg.net
If the difference in height among any adjacent blades is

greater than 0.005mm, the commutator must be
repaired. The commutator ovalization must not surpass
0.1mm.
The reconditioning of the commutator basically consists
of a fine lathing and the subsequent lowering of the micablades. The Table below indicates the minimum wear
diameter that the commutator can have after successive
machining.
For a smaller diameter than the indicated, it is necessary
to replace the commutator.
edge of the edges of the plates must be broken,

therefore remove a minimum amount of copper.
ATTENTION
It should be noted that the continuity of
operation with a worn commutator may cause
sparking in excessive levels, and could
damage the motor completely.

A successful commutation is defined as the quality of

commutation that does not result in damage and to the
commutator and the brushes.
The total lack of a visible sparking does not mean
essentially a successful commutation.
For the verification of the commutation, you should apply
load to the motor and note the sparking, attempting to
determine if it is normal or not. In case of unusual
sparking from level1 3/4 (Figure 7.2), you must determine
the cause or causes and eliminate them. Sparks resulting
from an unsatisfactory commutation may have
mechanical causes, as vibrations on the machine,
deformation on the commutator, inadequate pressure on
the brushes, etc. Electric causes such as poor contact
between brush and commutator, problems in the
windings of the commutation poles or the armature,
current peaks, inadequate air-gap, etc and
physicochemical aspects, such as excessive air moisture
and the existence of corrosive gases or vapors in the
environment or the deposition of oils or dust on the
commutator.
The air-gap of the commutation poles (for machines with
retractable poles) is adjusted at the factory, as well as the
neutral zone.
ATTENTION
In case you need to extract the poles, you
must necessarily respect the original air-gap,
at the mounting time, and the brush holder
rings must be adjusted at the neutral position.

In order to adjust the brushes in the neutral position
(liming brushes), proceed as follows (practical method)
Thick adjustment:
1. Loosen the bolts holding the ring of the brush
holder;
2. Power up the armature (50 to 80% of the rated
current for 30 seconds at most), field remains
disconnected. In order to limit the current, use a low
voltage, for example, of battery;

NOTE
If when you turn the brush holder ring to the
right, the rotor turns the opposite way, the
cables of the commutation poles that are
connected to the brush holder are inverted.
Connect the cables correctly and proceed as
in items 1, 2, and 3.
Figure 7.2: Sparking levels
7.8
BRUSH HOLDER
The enclosures must allow the free movement of the

brushes, but excessive clearances provoke trepidations
and hence sparking. The spring pressure should range
between 200 and 250 g / cm , except in special cases.
The distance between the brush holder and the
commutator surface should be approximately 2mm to
avoid breakage of the brushes and damage to the
commutator.
Thin adjustment:
1. After neutral zone is adjusted (thick adjustment),
start the motor with rated voltage (if possible, rated
current);
2. Check the two directions of rotation, the difference
cannot be greater than 1%;
3. If the difference is greater than 1%, observe which
way the rotation is greater. To decrease the rotation,
turn the brush holder ring in the same direction of
rotation of the rotor;
4. To increase the rotation, in a certain direction, turn
the brush holder ring in the opposite direction of
rotation of the rotor.
7.9
Figure 7.3: Brush holders
The sets of brush holders are adjusted in the factory in

the most favorable position for the commutation. This
position (neutral zone) is indicated by reference marks on
the brush holder support. Once the set brush holder is
adjusted, you should not change its position, because it
serves to any load value. In case of need of
disassembling the set, respect the mark for the
assembly.
42 l
If the neutral zone is maladjusted, the rotor will tend

to rotate. In order to adjust the neutral position,
rotate the ring of the brush holder in the opposite
direction of the rotation of the motor
The neutral zone will be adjusted when the rotor is
stopped.
BRUSHES
To each direct current machine is intended previously

one quality of brush, and it should always be used the
same type and amount of brush originally supplied
(attend to that described in section 7.9.1). Brushes of
different types should not be mixed.
The choice of the type of brush is made according to the
characteristics of each machine such as: speed, voltage,
current, etc.
www.weg.net
NOTE
Any change in the type and quantity of
brushes should be done under WEGs
guidance, because different types of brushes
cause changes in the behavior of the machine
when in operation.
The brushes should be constantly observed during
operation; look mainly for the following items:
Make sure that all the brushes have the same quality;
Make sure that all the brushes have flexible braids
with the same length. Neither short nor too long to
allow a free sliding;
Check if there is free movement in the brush holders
and if there is no material embedded in its internal
surface, which damages the movement of the
brushes;
Lay-in the brushes with sandpaper placed between
the surface of the commutator and brushes with the
abrasive face facing the brush contact surface. Also
use pumice;
In order to control the brush wear, observe the mark
embossed on the side (axial) Figure 4.3. The
minimum height that the brush must have so that
damages do not occur to the commutator is the one
in which the wearing mark is still visible;
When replacing brushes, always replace the
complete kit;
When replacing worn brushes by others of the same
granulation, the existing patina on the commutator
should not be removed if it has a normal aspect;
When replacing brushes by others of different quality,
one must necessarily remove the existing patina on
the commutator, using fine sandpaper.
7.9.1
Adequacy of brushes to load conditions
Performance of the brushes depends on them working

within the normal conditions of the machine. If the power
permanently required from the machine is lower than the
rated power, there is the need of an adaptation of the
brushes considering the operating load condition.
ATTENTION
If the above is not observed, excessive wear
of the brushes may occur, insulation marks
and damage the insulation of the engine,
damaging it completely.
NOTE
WEG DC- motors are manufactured to work
in normal rated load or according to the
customer In case the customer uses the
motor with a different load from the one
specified, it is his responsibility to do the
correct adaptation of the brushes.
ATTENTION
WEG is not responsible for the adequacy of
the brushes with a different load from the
specified.
7.10 MOTOR OUT OF OPERATION

The following special measures must be taken in case
the motor remains out of operation for long.
Turn on the space heaters (if applicable) so that the
temperature inside the motor be kept slightly above
the ambient temperature, avoiding moisture
condensation and consequent drop of the winding
insulation resistance and oxidation of metallic parts;
The heat exchangers and all water pipes (if applicable)
must be drained in order to reduce corrosion and
build-up of suspended material in the cooling water;
Follow the other procedures described in the chapter
Extended Storage of this manual.
Storage of the heat exchanger after operation
When the heat exchanger remains for a long period out
of operation, it must be drained and dried. The drying
may be done with pre-heated compressed air. During
winter, if there is risk of freezing, the heat exchanger must
be drained even in short periods out of operation to
prevent deformation or damages.
NOTE
Wear mark
During short stoppages, it is recommended to

keep the water circulation at low speeds
instead of interrupting its circulation through
the heat exchanger without its draining,
ensuring that harmful products, such as
ammonia compounds and hydrogen sulfide,
will be taken out of the heat exchanger and
will not settle inside.

7.11 SHAFT GROUNDING DEVICE
7.12.1.1
In some motors, depending on application, a brush is

used to ground the shaft. This device prevents the
circulation of electric current through the bearings, which
is highly harmful to their operation. The brush is put in
contact with the shaft and connected by a cable to the
motor frame, which must be grounded. Make sure the
fixation of the brush holder and its connection to the
frame have been done properly.
The lubrication system was projected so that during the

lubrication of the bearings, all the old grease is removed
from the bearing tracks and expelled through a drain
which allows it to come out, but prevents the income of
dust or other harmful contaminants into the bearing.
This drain also prevents damages to the bearings due to
excessive lubrication.
It is recommended to make the lubrication with the motor
in operation, ensuring the renewal of grease in the
bearing enclosure.
If that is not possible due to the presence of rotating
parts near the grease nipple (pulleys, etc.) which may put
the operator at risk, follow the procedures below:
With the motor stopped, inject approximately half the
total estimated amount of grease and put the motor
into operation for about one minute at rated speed;
Stop the motor and inject the rest of the grease. The
injection of all the grease with the motor stopped may
lead to the penetration of part of the lubricant into the
motor through the internal seal of the bearing case;
Shaft
Figure 7.5: Brush for grounding the shaft
In order not to damage the motor shaft during

transportation, it must be protected with drying oil. In
order to ensure the proper operation of the grounding
brush, this oil, as well as any residue between the shaft
and the brush, must be removed before starting the
motor.
The brush must be constantly observed during the
operation and, at the end of its useful life, it must be
replaced by another one of the same quality (granulation).
ATTENTION
It is important to clean the grease nipples
before lubrication in order to prevent foreign
material from coming into the bearing.
For lubrication, use manual grease gun only.
NOTE
7.12 BEARING MAINTENANCE
The bearing data, amount and type of grease

and lubrication interval are informed on a

As there is no compatible grease with

STABURAGS N12MF grease, you should not
inject other grease in the attempt of purging it.
Through this procedure it is not possible to
completely expel the old grease, or prevent
their mixture, which may cause damage to the
bearings.
WEG does not recommend the use of grease

different from the motor original grease.
7.12.1.5
Optional greases
If not possible to use original grease, the optional greases

listed in Table 7.2 can be used, since the following
conditions are met:
1. The lubrication interval must be corrected by
multiplying the interval informed on the nameplate of
the bearings by the multiplication factor informed in
Table 7.2;
2. Use the correct procedure to change the grease,
according to item 7.12.1.6 of this manual.

ATTENTION
1. In case the bearing is open, inject new
grease through the grease nipple to expel
the old grease that is in the grease inlet
pipe and apply the new grease to the
bearing, to the internal ring and external
ring, filling 3/4 of the empty spaces. In case
of double bearings (ball + roller), also fill 3/4
of the empty spaces between the
intermediate rings;
2. Never clean the bearing with cotton cloths,
because they may release lint as solid
particles;
3. It is important to perform a correct
lubrication, that is, apply the correct grease
and in the proper quantity, because either
an insufficient lubrication or an excessive
lubrication has harmful effects.
4. Excessive lubrication makes the
temperature rise due to the great resistance
against the movement of the revolving parts
and especially due to the beating of the
grease, which eventually completely loses
its lubrication properties.
NOTE
WEG is not responsible for changing the
grease, or even for occasional damages
caused by the change.
ATTENTION
Greases with different types of base must
never be mixed.
Example: Lithium-based greases must never
be mixed with others with sodium or calcium
base.
7.12.1.8
Grease compatibility
The compatibility of different types of grease may cause a

problem. You can say the greases are compatible when
the properties of the mixture lie within the property
ranges of the greases individually.
In general, greases with the same type of soap are
compatible with each other, but depending on the
proportion of the mixture, there might be incompatibility.
Therefore, it is not recommended the mixture of different
types of grease without consulting the grease supplier or
WEG.
Some thickeners and basic oils cannot be mixed with
each other, because they do not form a homogeneous
mixture. In this case, you cannot disregard the possibility
of hardening or, on the other hand, softening of the
grease or fall of the dropping point of the resulting
mixture.

Figure 7.12: Device to remove the rolling bearing
7.12.2 Oil rolling bearings

7.12.2.1
Lubrication instruction
Oil removal: When it is necessary to change the bearing

oil, remove the oil outlet plug (3) and drain the oil
completely.
To put oil in the bearing:
Close the oil outlet with the plug (3);
Remove the oil or filter inlet cap (1);
Fill with the specified oil up to the level indicated in the
oil sight glass.
The oil change of the bearings must be carried out

observing the Table below, according to the bearing
working temperature:
Below 75C = 20,000 hours
Between 75 and 80C = 16,000 hours
The useful life of the bearings depends on their operating

conditions, on the motor operating conditions and on the
maintenance procedures.
The following recommendation must be observed:
The oil selected for the application must have the
proper viscosity for the bearing working temperature.
The type of oil recommended by WEG already
considers those criteria;
Insufficient quantity of oil may damage the bearing;
The minimum oil level recommended is reached when
the lubricant can be seen in the lower part of the oil
sight glass with the motor stopped.
ATTENTION
The oil level must be inspected daily and
must remain in the middle of the oil sight
glass.

as the first hours of operation.
Before the start check:
If the oil used complies with the specification on the
nameplate;
Oil level;
bearing.
unusual vibrations or noises; if the bearing is not running
silently and smoothly, the motor must be immediately
shutdown;
The motor must operate for several hours until the bearing
temperatures stabilize within the previously mentioned
limits. In case of overheating, the motor must be shut
down for inspection of the bearings and temperature
sensors.
After the bearing working temperature is reached, check if
there are no leaks through the plugs, gaskets or through
the shaft end.
7.12.2.5
NOTE
The oil level must be inspected daily and
must remain in the middle of the oil sight
glass.
The bearings must be lubricated with specific oil,
always observing the flow values informed on their
nameplate.
All threaded holes that are not used must be closed
with plugs and no connections can present leak;
The oil level is reached when the lubricant can be seen
approximately in the middle of the sight glass. The use
of a larger amount of oil will not damage the bearing,
still it can cause leaks through the shaft seals.
ATTENTION
The care with the lubrication will determine
the useful life of the bearings and the safety
during the motor operation. Therefore, it is
extremely important to observe the following
recommendations:
The selected oil must be the one with
proper viscosity for the working
temperature of the bearings; That must be
observed in each oil change or in
periodical maintenances;
Never use or mix hydraulic oil with the
lubricant oil of the bearings;
Lack of lubricant, due to incomplete filling
or the not monitoring of the level, can
damage the bearing shells.
The minimum oil level is reached when the
lubricant can be seen touching the lower
part of the sight glass with the motor out
of operation.

Self-lubricated bearings
The oil change of the bearings must be carried out
observing the Table below, according to the bearing
working temperature:
Below 75C = 20,000 hours
Bearings with (external) oil circulation

The oil of the bearings must be changed every 20,000
hours of operation or whenever the lubricant presents
modifications in its characteristics. The oil viscosity and pH
must be checked regularly.
50 l
7.12.3.3
Seals
In case of maintenance of the bearings, when adjusting

them again, the two halves of the taconite seal must be
joined by a garter spring.
This spring must be inserted in the ring seat in such way
that the locking pin fits into its fillister in the upper half of
the frame. Improper installation destroys the seal.
Before assembling the seals, clean the surfaces that touch
the ring and its seat carefully, and cover them with a nonhardening sealing component. The drain holes located in
the lower half of the ring must be cleaned and cleared.
When installing this half of the sealing ring, press it slightly
against the shaft lower part.

sensors.
After the bearing working temperature is reached, check if
there are no leaks through the plugs, gaskets or through
the shaft end.
7.12.3.5
Bearing maintenance
The sleeve bearing maintenance includes:

Periodic check of the oil level and lubricant conditions;
Check the bearing noise and vibration levels;
Monitor the working temperatures and retighten the
fixing and assembling bolts;
The frame must be kept clean, without oil or dust built
up on its external part in order to make the heat
exchange with the ambient easier.
The NDE bearing is electrically insulated. The spherical
seat surfaces of the bearing shell on the frame are
covered with insulating material. Never remove this
cover;
The anti-rotation pin is also insulated, and the seals are
