3.3 Definitions
3.3.1 Duty
Three-phase induction motors are usually designed to develop their rated power in continuous service with no overheating
problems. However, most motors operate under a non-continuous type of service. Some motors are switched on for a few
moments only, others work all day, but they only charge up briefly, etc. The EN 60034-1 standard defines 10 main service types
and those summarised in the table below apply to ID motors:
Duty Description Definition

3.3.4 IC Cooling Method

The type of cooling used in electrical machines is regulated by the IEC/EN 60034-6 standard. In order to identify the type of
cooling used in each motor, it is also given a code similar to the IP protection rating. There are two types of code: full indication
(e.g. IC9A7W7) and simplified indication (e.g. IC97W). Both begin with the initials IC (International Cooling).
The table below shows the most common cooling methods for ID motors:

3.3.5 Balancing and vibration level

The EN 60034-14 standard specifies the test procedures for the acceptance of vibration at factory and the vibration limits for
certain electrical machines in specific conditions when they are disconnected from a power machine or charge
The standard defines two possible vibration levels for the shaft: type ‘A’ (machines with no special vibration requirements); and
type ‘B’ (machines with special vibration requirements).
The following table shows the maximum admissible limits for displacement, speed and acceleration (in effective value) for a
specific shaft height (H):

3.3.6 Insulation class

The insulation rating of an electrical machine is identified on the motor specifications plate by means of a letter in accordance with
the IEC/EN 60034-18 standard.
The following table summarises the maximum allowed temperature in the installation of a winding in accordance with its insulation
rating:
Class Maximum temperature
A 105ºC
E 120ºC
B 130ºC
F 155ºC
H 180ºC
Table 9: Insulation classes
3.3.7 Heating limits

The IEC60034-1 standard defines the maximum admissible heating (increase in temperature) for the windings as specified in the
following table:
Coolant Heating Operating

Thermal Class
temperature (per element) temperature
B (130ºC) < 40ºC < 80ºC < 120ºC
F (155ºC) < 40ºC < 105ºC < 145ºC
H (180ºC) < 40ºC < 125ºC < 165ºC

Table 10: Heating limits
Accordingly, the rated working conditions of the motor must be such that the operating temperature on the windings is always
below the temperature specified by the insulation class of the part materials. Therefore, the working thermal class of a motor can
correspond to the following:
a) The same thermal insulation class. This would be the case of a motor built with Class F insulation (155°C) with a
maximum working temperature of 140°C, corresponding to a Class F.
b) A thermal class lower than the insulation class. This would be the case of a motor built with Class H insulation
(180°C) with a maximum working temperature of 140°C, corresponding to a Class F.

3.5.2 Ambient conditions

In their standard version, ID motors are not suitable for working in saline or corrosive atmospheres or for installation outdoors.
3.5.3 Duty
In all the series, unless specified otherwise, the powers assigned for continuous service (S1) apply, with an ambient temperature
of between -20º and +40ºC and at a maximum height of 1000 m above sea level.
If the working conditions differ from those above, a declassing factor must be applied to the torque and power, called K1, with
regard to the values given on the specifications plate, as shown in the following table:
Temperature
Altitude
30ºC 40ºC 50ºC 55ºC
1000 [m] 1 1 0.92 0.86
2000 [m] 1 0.93 0.85 0.77
3000 [m] 0.93 0.85 0.76 0.69
4000 [m] 0.86 0.78 0.67 0.6
Table 13: Derating factors
If the motor does not work in continuous duty service (S1), but rather in an S2-type discontinuous service, a multiplication factor
must be applied (K2) to the torque and power specified on the plate (S1 Service) to determine the torque available for the service.
The K2 factor is determined by the duration of the service according to the following graph.

3.7 Electrical specifications
3.7.1 Windings and insulation

ID motor coil windings are made up of copper wires and plates with two coats of polyamide varnish > 220°C and/or THEIC-
Polyesterimide with Amide-Imide > 200°C, rated with H-type insulation class.
They are impregnated using single-component epoxy resins that polymerise on the basis of temperature, also class H.
The coils are insulated from the magnetic circuit of the armature and the stator by means of NMN (Nomex-Mylar-Nomex)
sandwich-type paper. The outer parts of the sandwich (Nomex) are fibres, whereas the core (Mylar) is a plastic film of
polyethylene terephthalate. Special care is also taken with the insulation between each phase.
This insulation system ensures adequate dielectric resistance for motor operation during the most critical applications.
3.7.2 Connections
The connections between the windings and the terminal box are made using a flexible cable coated with FEP capable of
withstanding up to 200°C. The connections are welded using a FUSBAT650 rod. The welds of the contacts are also protected by
a double layer of fibreglass insulation pipe with class-H acrylic impregnation.
The armature coils are wave-soldered to the manifold.
3.7.3 Power-supply conditions

ID motors are designed to work with a power supply via AC/DC or DC/DC converters with full-bridge thyristors or high-frequency
choppers and they can withstand voltages of up to 700 VDC (500 VAC).

ID MOTORS PAGE: 28
3.7.4 Standard thermal protection

ID motors include a set of 2 PTC140-type thermistors on their main and auxiliary stator windings. It is a solid-state device of the
variable resistive type that provides a Contact Open (OFF) / Contact Closed (ON) type logical signal depending on whether or not
the temperature of the motor windings exceeds the reference temperature of the sensor, in this case 140°C.
Its operation curve is as follows:
Figure 4 : Characteristic curve of a PTC140
Said ON/OFF logical signal can be used by an external control circuit to process an alarm system to prevent the motor from
overheating.
3.7.5 Optional thermal sensors

The installation of other types of linear temperature probes is also possible on request. For example, KTY84-130 type sensors
can be installed on the windings, as well as PT100 sensors on the windings and/or bearings, which would monitor the operating
temperature at all times. The following graphs correspond to said sensors.
Please check with VASCAT for each specific case.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 29
Figure 5: Characteristic curve of a KTY-84-130
Figure 6: Characteristic curve of a Pt100
3.7.6 Anti-condensation heaters

As an option (on request), one or two heating elements can be installed on the main and/or auxiliary coils to prevent
condensation on the motor windings when the motor is to be installed at a site with high relative humidity (> 85%).
The standard VASCAT model is 50 W 230 VAC.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 30
3.7.7 Fan and pressure gauge

ID series motors are air-cooled using a forced ventilation system that includes an electric fan powered independently from the
motor.
The fan on the ID series motors can be installed in the following positions:
Circulation Standard Optional

Motor direction position positions
Top rear
Side rear
ID Impulsive
Axial
IDX Suction --
Table 18: Fan position
Other setups are possible on request.
The standard versions of these units are powered with single-phase or three-phase alternating current (see motor technical data
sheet for more information). Other ventilation methods can be studied on request.
Radial electric fans incorporate a washable filter to prevent incoming particles from damaging the motor. This filter requires
regular maintenance (see subsequent sections). This type of fan can include, (as an option on request) an anemostatic relay
(pressure gauge) with a set of NC/NA contacts that open/close when the airflow is insufficient.

Table 20: Standard tacho on ID motors
When specifically requested by the customer, other types of encoders and/or servo sensors can be fitted. Please check with
VASCAT for each specific case.
3.8.2 Parking brake

ID series motors can be fitted, as an option, with an electromagnetic parking brake to immobilise the motor load safely and in a
way that is 100% external to the operation of the motor itself.
On certain occasions, this is necessary for safety reasons, e.g. when it is necessary to block the movement of the machine to
work on the interior safely or when there is a fault in the converter power supply or other mechanical devices of the installation.
PRECAUTION
The use of the parking brake as a dynamic working brake, e.g. to slow down a load, is not allowed, since it speeds up the
premature wear and tear of the lining.
In general, the brakes are powered at 24 VDC (please check the technical datasheet of each motor), working via the activation of
coils on springs. This type of brake works according to the lack of voltage operating principle, i.e. when there is no voltage
applied, the brake blocks the rotation and when voltage is applied, it is unblocked.
PRECAUTION
If the appropriate voltage is not applied to the brake, it will not work correctly. In the case of insufficient voltage, it will overheat due
to friction, causing rapid wear and tear of the lining. If the voltage is too high, the windings may be damaged by surge currents.
PRECAUTION
The brake power circuit must be completely independent.
Make sure that the brake is not activated before the motor rotates and that it remains connected to voltage when the motor is
rotating. If, for any reason, the power supply to the brake continues when the motor is stopped, the brake will not work and, as the
shaft would be free, undesired movements may occur.
The correct use of the brake is the user's responsibility and that of the manufacturer of the electrical control cabinet.
The specifications of the standard brake for each type of motor are specified on the corresponding technical data sheet, which
can be consulted on VASCAT's website: http://www.vascat.es.
NB
The friction surfaces must always be kept free from oil and grease, since minimum quantities of such substances can largely
reduce the brake torque.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 33
3.8.3 Noise level
The technical data sheets VASCAT provides for each motor show the noise level in dB issued by each model.
Optionally, motors can be fitted with a kit to reduce the level of noise emissions. Please check with VASCAT for more details.
The machines directive specifies a noise level of 80 dB at work posts. The user is responsible for guaranteeing said level using
the installation of external absorption devices if necessary.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 34
4. SHIPMENT, RECEPTION, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
4.1 Shipment
ID motors are shipped in completely closed packaging, including a wooden pallet that has been given phytosanitary treatment.
The specific type of packaging may vary according to the destination and the type of transport used.
In general, for road transport, the packaging consists of a box of dual-layer corrugated cardboard, clipped and tied with a heat-
sealed strap on the palate; for transport by sea or air, it consists of a wooden box that has been given phytosanitary treatment
fastened to the pallet using nails or screws.
By request, other types of packaging may be considered according to the customer's specifications.
Please check with VASCAT for more details of each shipment.
4.2 Reception
When the goods have been received, the customer is responsible for checking that the packaging has not been damaged and is
in perfect condition. If that is not the case, the circumstance must be recorded on the haulier's delivery documentation and a claim
must be filed immediately with the haulage company for the damages that have been caused.
When it has been removed from the packaging, the material must be checked to ensure that it has been delivered in accordance
with the details on the documents sent with the shipment, together with the fact that it is in a correct state of repair. Otherwise, a
claim must be filed immediately with VASCAT for the faults that have been seen or for an incomplete shipment.
VASCAT declines all responsibility for damages claimed thereafter.
NB
Do not start up a machine that has been damaged under any circumstances.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 35
4.3 Transport
The machine must be transported always in accordance with the following instructions:
WARNING
Transport and lifting of the machine by the eyebolts only
For the correct handling of the motor, several eyebolts have been fitted on the top of the housing exclusively for said purpose.
Therefore, do not lift the motor using the shaft or the fan casing under any circumstances.
To lift the machine, use guide devices (cables, chains or slings) with safety hooks on the ends. See diagram:
Figure 7: Transport and lifting of the motor
The lifting apparatus and guide devices must have sufficient load capacity to lift the machine. Please see that technical data sheet
for the motor to know how much each model weighs.
Sudden movements and knocks must be avoided during transport.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 36
4.4 Storage
ID motors can be stored for long periods (up to 2 years) without their specifications being affected. They must be stored in a dry,
dust-free place with no aggressive atmosphere or vibrations and no sudden temperature changes.
PRECAUTION
Damages caused by outdoor storage
The machine may be damaged if it is stored outdoors.
The machine must be stored only in indoor areas that meet the following conditions:
- They must be dry, dust-free, icing proof and have no vibrations. The relative humidity of the air must be below 60%; in
accordance with EN 60034-1, the temperature must not be below -15ºC.
- It must be well ventilated.
- It must provide protection against extreme bad weather.
- The ambient air must not contain aggressive gases.
The machine must be protected against knocks and humidity and its entire surface must be appropriately covered.
If the machine cannot be stored in a dry place, the following measures must be adopted:
- Cover the machine using a plastic film or similar with a drying material (silica gel) inside.
- Package the unit in a sealed box.
- Place several bags of drying agents in the sealed box. Check the drying product regularly and replace it as necessary.
- Control the humidity level in the sealed packaging by placing indicators that show the air humidity level in the packaging
at different levels.
If the machine is to be stored for a relatively long period (more than 6 months), it must be checked regularly (every 3 months) to
ensure that it is in a perfect state of repair and that there are no faults. The required maintenance work must be carried out and
the storage enclosure must be climate-controlled.
Before packaging the motor, VASCAT applies a thin film of blue removable lacquer on the end of the shaft and the machined
surfaces. This product protects the materials against corrosion. If it is to be stored for a long period, do not remove the protective
film.
PRECAUTION
Damage caused by condensation water
Condensation water may gather in the machine owing to important variations in ambient temperature, direct sunlight or high air
humidity levels during storage.
If the stator winding is damp, its insulation resistance is reduced. This leads to disruptive discharges that can destroy the
winding. Furthermore, condensation water may form oxide or mould inside the machine.
This is why it is important to follow VASCAT's storage recommendations to the letter.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 37
5. INSTALLATION AND START-UP
PRECAUTION
Damage caused to bearings as a result of long storage periods
If the machine has been stored for more than 3 years in good conditions (dry, dust-free place, etc.), the grease on the bearings
must be changed, if they need re-greasing, or the bearing should be changed if it is a bearing with lubrication for its entire
service life. If the machine has been stored in poor conditions, the change or re-greasing of the bearings may be necessary
before the aforementioned period.
The following describes the conditions that are necessary for the installation and start-up of the machine.
5.1 Motor installation
5.1.1 Site
A correct site is essential for guaranteeing a long motor service life. The use of the motor in an incorrect site could shorten its
service life considerably. The following are some points to bear in mind when choosing the correct site for the motor:
a) The chosen site must comply with the ambient temperature range and altitude for which the motor was selected (for
more details, see section 3.5.3).
HOT SURFACE
The exterior surface of the motors can reach temperatures of more than 60°C and, therefore, the appropriate precautions must
be taken to avoid accidental contact (the motor bears a plate indicating said circumstance).
b) The site must have a humidity level of less than 85% to prevent condensation appearing on the surface. If the humidity
levels at the site exceed 85%, the motor must be fitted with anti-condensation heaters (see section 3.7.6).
c) The air inlet and outlet must not be blocked. There must be no recirculation of hot air from the outlet to the inlet.
PRECAUTION
Damages caused to the motor by blocking the airflow at the motorised fan inlet
Damages may be caused to the motor if there is an insufficient airflow at the motorised fan inlet due to the selection of an
incorrect site for the machine. If the machine does not have sufficient cooling airflow, the windings may overheat and the
corresponding consequences may arise.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 38
5.1.2 Mounting
Correct mounting is essential to guarantee a long service life for the motor. The following are essential issues that need to be
taken into account when anchoring the motor correctly:
IM B3 Foot-mounting:
a) Ensure that the support base is correctly levelled: the motors must be mounted on a solid, flat base that is perfectly
level. If the base is not made up of one single compact surface, the motor feet support services must be on the same
level. To level the machine correctly, the feet may have to be gauged using steel plates to avoid the appearance of
mechanical tension.
PRECAUTION
Damages caused to the motor by the incorrect levelling of the support base
The incorrect levelling of the motor reduces the service life of the bearings and other parts of the transmission.
b) Use an appropriate base for the assembly work: Make sure that the base on which the motor is to be located meets the
following specifications:
- The dimensions of the base correspond to those of the motor feet. Make sure that the entire area of each of the 4
motor feet rests perfectly on a solid base.
- Make sure that the base is capable of supporting the weight of the motor without problem. If the base were to go out
of shape over time, the motor may not be level, which would reduce the service life of the motor substantially,
especially the bearings.
- Make sure that the base is sufficiently heavy-duty to counter the torque provided by the motor without noticeable
deformation.
- Make sure that the base is sufficiently rigid for there to be no resonances in the motor operation speed range.
c) Make sure that there are no additional loads on the motor: Consideration must be given to the weight of the couplings
and pulleys and the resulting axial and radial loads to ensure that the motor bearings are dimensioned correctly (the
maximum admissible radial loads for each motor are specified in the Table 17).
d) Fastening the feet: When the motor has been installed on a base that meets all the aforementioned, the motor must be
firmly fastened in position using the 4 holes machined on the feet (for said purpose) and bolts of the appropriate size for
said holes. The diameter of the holes machined on the motor feet comply with the motor shaft height according to the
EN 60072 standard. The leg bolts must be selected according to the loads applied to the motor and in compliance with
the ISO 898-1 standard, which defines the mechanical properties of the bolts according to their quality.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 39
Fastening using IM B5 or IM B14 flanges:
a) Remove the anti-rust varnish: First of all, clean the surface of the flange before fastening.
b) Connect and fastened the counter-flange: For correct fastening, use bolts with an appropriate diameter in accordance
with the dimensions of the flange as per the EN 60072 standard.
c) Make sure of the perpendicularity of the machine shaft and the counter-flange plane: Perpendicularity errors must be
below 0.05 mm.
d) Make sure that the counter-flange is appropriate: In accordance with section b) of the IM B3 assembly.
NB
Application of additional loads on the flange
The motor flange is dimensioned only to support its own weight. If there are additional loads, the flange may not be sufficiently
heavy duty and, therefore, faults may occur that affect the motor and the machine to which it is coupled.
5.1.3 Machine coupling
The motor must be coupled to the machine very carefully since it is fundamental in order to ensure the correct service life of the
motor.
Before mounting the coupling, remove the protective lacquer and clean the surface well.
PRECAUTION
Damages to the motor bearings
Prevent solvent from entering the interior of the bearings since they could be damaged.
If the motor works with a direct drive (coupled directly to the load), the appropriate coupling must be used to compensate the
alignment errors and radial forces that are applied. Please check with VASCAT in case of doubt.
In any case, make sure that the alignment between the motor shaft and that of the machine corresponds to the coupling between
both parts.
PRECAUTION
Damages to the shaft and bearings
Excessive misalignment can cause overloads on the bearings and break the shaft or cause the bearings to seize up through
fatigue. The customer is responsible for ensuring the correct alignment of both shafts.
VASCAT motors and rotors are dynamically balanced using a half-key on the end of the shaft (in accordance with the 60034-14
standard). To ensure the correct balance of the entire transmission unit, all the parts of the transmission system must also be
balanced (pulley, coupling, etc.).
The installation of the coupling or the transmission element must be made gently without knocking, previously heating the pulley
or using an appropriate tool (please see Figure 8).

ID MOTORS PAGE: 40
Figure 8: Fitting the coupling
PRECAUTION
If the motor shaft is knocked, the bearings may be damaged.
If belts are used for the transmission of the torque or a gear with radial load, make sure that the admissible radial load is not
exceeded on the motor shaft. The specific data for the admissible radial loads for each size of motor can be found in the Table
17.
PRECAUTION
If the maximum value of the admissible radial load is exceeded, the shaft may break and the bearings may seize up due to
fatigue. The customer is responsible for making sure that the tension of the transmission belts does not exceed the established
limits.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 41
5.2 Electrical connections
WARNING
All the work must be carried out by qualified personnel and when the motors are completely stopped and isolated from the mains.
Always check that there is no voltage!
PRECAUTION
Damage to the windings
Before the connection, check the status of the insulation elements of the windings with regard to earth, since long or inappropriate
storage or transport may have caused the motor to absorb humidity, which affects the capacity for insulation.
The insulation reference values considered safe by VASCAT are as follows:
Parameters Reference values

Recommended measurement voltage 500 V
Minimum insulation resistance with new or repaired windings 60 MΩ
Table 21: Insulation reference values for ID motors
If the humidity or dirt returns a value below the specified figure, the windings must be cleaned or dried until measurements in the
safe range are obtained.
WARNING
Dangerous voltage
When measuring the resistance of the winding insulation and just after the measurement, the terminals are live. Contact with any
live part may cause serious injury or even death.
Do not touch the terminals during the measurement process or immediately afterwards. Before any contact, discharge the
terminals to earth using an insulated cable.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 42
5.2.1 Terminal boxes and connector strips

The motor has a terminal box with the corresponding electrical connection strip and connection bolts for the current of each
motor.

5.2.3 Power cables

The inputs of the power cables that are to be connected on the motor terminal box strip and the converter terminals must comply
with current regulations. For the protection rating, type of cable-laying, allowed cable diameter, connection, etc., VASCAT
recommends the use of symmetrical structure screened cables in accordance with technical specification IEC TS 60034-25.
The cable screen must be made up of the maximum possible number of individual conductors and it must have good conductivity.
Twisted copper or aluminium screens are particularly suitable.
The screen connections must be made bearing in mind that they must cover a wide surface of the screen to create a 360°
contact using gland boxes for low impedance through a wide range of power levels. Make sure that the screen is HF (for high
frequencies). All the foregoing effectively reduces the voltages of the shaft and the housing, creating good derivation of the high
frequency currents. This will reduce the currents that will pass through the bearings. Consideration must be given to the fact that
the ends of the unscreened cable must be kept as short as possible.
The following two figures show the recommended terminations for screened cables:
Figure 11: Recommended terminations

T – Conductor material terminal box S – Cable screen P – Earth cable M – Motor body
Gs – Conductor seals G – EMC gland seal F – Continuous Faraday box
The connection between the power cable screen and the motor terminal box must be made using either of the two methods
shown in the following figures (on the left with an EMC gland seal and, on the right, with the screen connected to the terminal box
using a flange):

The earth protection conductor must be connected to the terminal indicated for said function.
DANGER
A poor earth connection involves a severe risk of electrocution through accidental contact with the motor surface.
5.2.4 Connections for the fan, thermal sensors and accessories

The fan motor cables must be connected in accordance with the specified voltage or that given on the fan motor nameplate (ID
motors) or the main motor nameplate (on the IDX motors).
To connect the thermal sensors, use terminals of 1.5 mm2on the tip and connect them to the corresponding nylon strip.
Where possible, connect the encoder or dynamo as shown in the schematic on the interior of the terminal box.
Where necessary, connect the brake cables in accordance with the voltage specified on the motor specifications plate. The
connection on the ID motors is made using a nylon strip attached to the brake body; on the IDX, there is a connector on the top of
the fan housing.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 48
5.3.2 Start-up
WARNING
Qualified personnel
All the preliminary work must be carried out by qualified personnel and when the motors are completely stopped and isolated from
the mains. Always check that there is no voltage!
If the mains power cables are connected make sure there is no voltage and that no power voltage can be applied in any way.
PRECAUTION
Damage to the motor
Before starting up the motor, check that there are no elements blocking the rotation of the motor.

During start-up and while the motor is in operation, the customer is responsible for taking precaution to avoid accidental contact
with the rotating parts.
Proceed as follows to start up the motor:
1- Start-up the drive auto-tuning procedure so that it can recognise the motor (see drive documentation for more details).
2- If the auto-tuning procedure is completed successfully, start the motor rotating at low speed. Check that the motor works
satisfactorily, the excitation current is as specified and there are no strange noises or vibrations.
3- Gradually increase speed to rated values.
4- Check that the manifold switches cleanly and evenly
5- After several hours in operation, check that the thermal behaviour of the motor corresponds to the motor service type. If
in doubt, please contact VASCAT.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 49
6. MAINTENANCE
This chapter describes the preventive maintenance operations for ID motors. VASCAT declines all responsibility for faulty
maintenance performed by the end user.
6.1 Safety instructions
WARNING
Qualified personnel
All the cleaning and maintenance work must be carried out by qualified personnel in observance of the safety regulations that
apply to the machine coupled to the motor and when the motors are completely stopped and isolated from the mains.
Always check that there is no voltage! If the mains power cables are switched-on, make sure there is no power voltage and that
no voltage can be applied in any way.
6.2 Maintenance operations and frequency
Activities Service intervals and terms
Basic inspection Every 500 service hours or at least every 6 months
Cleaning of the fan and air filter Depending on the level of local and environmental dirt
Re-greasing of the bearings See regular lubrication label and re-greasing equation
(Only on motors where it is necessary) (section 6.2.3 of this manual)
Replacement of bearings Replacement after 20,000 service hours
Blowing the brushes and checking their status Every 500 service hours or at least every 6 months
Table 23: Maintenance activities
NB
Damages to motor and fan
If the fan air filter is not cleaned correctly or sufficiently regularly, the motor may not be cooled correctly, which will lead to the
corresponding breakdowns.
Furthermore, the fan wheel must be in a good state of repair and perfectly clean; otherwise, it could be in permanent imbalance
when it rotates, leading to a breakdown.
NB
If the motor bearings are not re-greased adequately or as regularly as required, the bearings may be damaged irreparably.
The bearings have a specific service life. When they have reached the end of their service life, they must be replaced by new
bearings that are equivalent to the originals. Otherwise, the motor may be seriously damaged.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 50
6.2.1 Basic inspection

After assembling the motor or after repairing a breakdown, the motor must be inspected approximately every 500 operating hours
or at least every six months. This inspection must consist of basically the following:
With the machine on:

- Check that the motor works according to its rated mechanical and electrical values and that there are no strange
noises, vibrations or irregular rotation.
With the machine off:

- Check that no cracks appear in the motor fastening elements.
- Check that the connection terminals in the terminal box maintain an adequate fastening torque as specified in the
Table 22.
- Check the condition of the manifold runner. An uneven or faulty runner wears down the brushes more quickly and
indicates that the working conditions (e.g. load) or environmental conditions (e.g. chemical agents) require changes
to the quality or number of brushes.
- Check that the eccentricity of the manifold does not exceed 0.03 mm and that it has no protruding segments or
holes.
- Check the wear and tear of the brushes and their condition.
- Check that the brushes slide across the manifold evenly.
- Check that the insulation is greater than 60MOhm in the excitation and 10MOhm in the armature, especially in
environments with high humidity levels.
- If faults are found during the inspection, they must be corrected immediately.
Besides this basic inspection, a number of maintenance tasks must be carried out to ensure that the motor has a long service life.
The maintenance operations recommended by VASCAT are as follows:
6.2.2 Cleaning of the fan and air filter

It is important to keep the fan wheel as clean as possible. To do so, apply compressed air to its surface on a regular basis to
ensure that there are no unwanted particles deposited on it.
The frequency of the cleaning process will depend on the local and environmental conditions that affect the motor, as well as the
frequency with which the motor is used.

During the motor fan wheel cleaning operation, the customer is responsible for taking the necessary precautions to avoid
accidental contact with the rotating parts.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 51
The air inlets of ID series motors are fitted with NGB 290/4-type particle filters, which require regular cleaning. The frequency of
this operation will depend on the environment in which the motor is located and the frequency with which it is used.
To wash the filter, it must be removed from the fan and cleaned using compressed air or washed with water and detergent,
depending on the type of dirt in the environment. The filter must be replaced after 4 or 5 washes by one that is the same as or
equivalent to the original.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 52
6.2.3 Re-greasing of the bearings

Motors of the sizes from 100 to 200 include deep groove ball bearings with blanking plates as standard, greased for their entire
service life. Accordingly, re-greasing operations are not required.
As an option, electrically insulated ball or roller bearings can be installed and they must be re-greased regularly.
The grease that is to be used on insulated bearings with no blanking plates and roller bearings must be KP2N-40 lithium soap-
based grease according to DIN51825 or equivalent.
To determine the amount of grease that is to be inserted during the re-greasing operation, VASCAT provides the customer with
the following equation as a guide for determining the grams of grease necessary:
m=D·B·x
Where:
m: Amount of grease to be inserted during the re-greasing operation [gr]

D: Exterior diameter of the bearing to be greased [mm]
B: Width of the bearing in question [mm]
x: Factor that will depend on the re-greasing frequency (0.002 weekly, 0.003 monthly and 0.004 annually).
VASCAT recommends re-greasing every 500 hours or once a month.
The greasing nipples VASCAT fits to its motors comply with the DIN 71412 standard and are zinc-coated. The types used in
standard procedures are as follows:
Figure 13: Standard greasing nipples on ID motors
NB
If greasers containing different thickeners and basic oils are mixed together, the lubricant properties of the resulting grease may
be inferior. The same type of grease must be used to lubricate the bearings at all times. Otherwise, the bearings may be
damaged.

During the re-greasing operation, the customer is responsible for taking the necessary precautions to avoid accidental contact
with the rotating parts.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 53
6.2.4 Replacement of bearings

Both the bearings that have been greased for all their service life and those that need to be greased regularly, as well as hermetic
parts that are subjected to wear and tear (seals and joints, etc.), where applicable, must be replaced after 20,000 operating
hours.
Bearings of the same type as the originals must be installed. Standard bearings for each motor type can be consulted at Table
17.
The procedure for replacing bearings must be carried out as follows:
1. Disassemble the motor from its location and place it in a safe and clean place.
2. Remove the accessories (brake and/or encoder, where applicable) from the motor very carefully so as not to damage
them and then remove the terminal box and fan. See following sections for more details.
3. Unscrew the motor seals and covers and remove them.
Figure 14: Replacing bearings on ID motors (step 3)

ID MOTORS PAGE: 54
4. Remove the rotor from the interior of the stator, taking care not to damage the windings.
Figure 15: Replacing bearings on ID motors (step 4)
5. Put the rotor in a stable place so that it does not turnover.
6. Remove the bearing shim washers.
7. Remove the bearing from the shaft using a thrust extractor and taking care not to damage the shaft.
Figure 16: Replacing bearings on ID motors (steps 6 and 7)
8. Heat the new bearing to 70°C to make it dilate and easier to insert in the shaft.
9. Insert the new bearing in the shaft. The hot bearing must be inserted fully without the need for hitting it. This operation
must be performed as quickly as possible. Do not let the bearing cool down.
10. Reassembled the Seeger shim washers.
11. Re-insert the rotor in the stator, taking care not to damage the windings.
12. Fit and screw up the covers and seals.
13. Refit the motor accessories.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 55
6.2.5 Replacement of motor brushes

The brush-holders are only accessible through the inspection windows, as shown by the following figures:
Figure 17: Access to motor brush holder.
In order to access the brushes on the lower position, it will be necessary to rotate the brush-holders ring, as there is not enough
space below to access and remove these brushes:
Figure 18: Detail of the rotation to access the lower brushes.
The brushes shall be changed in case their length is 14mm or less. To that end, follow the procedure as follows:
1. Unscrew the 4 screws of the guards from the inspection window.
2. In order to access the lower brushes, loosen or remove the 4 screws securing the brush-holders ring.

ID MOTORS PAGE: 56
3. Remove the pressure spring from each brush.
4. Loosen the screw of each wire.
5. Insert the new brush, fasten the screws, reposition the spring, place the brush-holders back in its original position and
tighten and adapt the brushes to the collector using a polishing stone.
Be aware that the position of the brush-holders ring will be altered during the changing procedure of the lower brushes. In order to
always leave the brush-holders ring in its original position use the existing paint mark for this purpose. In case the mark had
disappeared follow the instructions below for correct positioning of the brush-holders ring:
1. Disconnect all external connectors.
2. Energize the excitation terminals F1 and F2 with 220VAC.
3. Connect AC voltmeter to terminals A1 and A2 (a minimum scale of 2 Volts is required).
4. Check the voltmeter measure and turn the brush-holders ring clockwise or counter-clockwise until it reads 0 Volts.
When that happens, the brush-holders ring will be in the right position.
Brush dimensions and quality are described in the technical data sheet of each motor.
6.2.6 Cleaning the collector area

Blow with compressed air in the collector area to prevent the accumulation of dust produced by the wear of the brushes; for this it
is necessary to remove the side protections of the rear shield.
It is recommended to carry out this action twice a year for the motors equipped with IP23 and every 500 hours for the motors
superior to IP44.
6.3 Replacing the encoder/tacho
1. Remove the protection
2. Loosen the elastic coupling that connects the shafts
3. Remove the stator flange
4. Remove the encoder from the flange

ID MOTORS PAGE: 57
Figure 19: Replacing the encoder/tacho on ID motors (solid shaft type)

ID MOTORS PAGE: 58
6.4 Replacing the brake and/or lining
The procedure for replacing the brake must be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the entire stator from the brake (a)
2. Then remove the protection ring (c)
3. Remove the rotor (b) by sliding it through the bushing that remains coupled to the shaft by a Seeger ring.
4. If the rotor lining is worn, replace it with a new one.
