9.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING
The location in which the winch is installed must have the following characteristics:
- It must be dry and not dusty: this is essential to prevent electrochemical corrosion of mechanical
parts (clean the machine room before installing the machine/clean electrical parts from any
condensation).
- The room must be ventilated: the room must have adequate openings or conditions to allow
- The room temperature must be between 5° C and 40° C.
Maximum humidity 95% non-condensing 0÷1000m A.S.L.
For other values, consult SICOR.
The customer must verify that the electrical network where the gearless winch will be installed has suitably
gauged cables, is correctly grounded and has enough installed power.
The installation of the machine, the electrical connections and adjustments to optimise the system must be
^
During the assembly and/or handling the moving and/or delicate parts (brake, encoder) must be
protected against accidental knocks and dust.
No welding should be performed on the gearless winch (either during installation, or at other
stages). Welding can damage moving parts, bearings and magnets.
Allow a minimum of 80 mm between the encoder and the wall so that it is always accessible for
maintenance and/or replacement.
