INFORMATION
For storage periods longer than 9 months, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends the "Extended storage" type. Gear units in this design are designated with a corresponding
label.
For long-term storage, option ../B (in corrosion protection design) is used.
This requires the following additional measures:
Once you have performed a test run with the gear unit to be stored, disassemble the
wide V-belt and enclose it with the drive in a stable box. The wide V-belt should have a
nearly elliptic shape.
The storage environment must be cold (temperature range 0 - 20 C), dry and free from
dust.
The following points must be avoided during extended storage:

direct exposure to heat

sudden change in temperature

draft

exposure to ultraviolet radiation

electric devices and plants in direct vicinity (accumulation of ozone)

mechanical load

impacts due to oils, acids and solvent vapors

The wide V-belt can be stored about 2 years if the above conditions are observed.
