SAFETY PROVISIONS
High voltage and rotating parts can cause serious injury and/or fatal wounds. The use of electric machines therefore can be
very dangerous. Installation, functioning and maintenance of electric machines must be carried out by qualified staff, in
compliance with applicable standards and regulations in force in the various countries.
For the electric machines, subject of this manual, it is important to comply with safety provisions to protect staff from
possible injury. In particular, staff must be informed about:
• Avoiding contact with live circuits or rotating parts;
• Not by-passing or making safety circuits and barriers inoperative;
• Avoiding long periods of time near to very noisy machines;
• Moving the electric machine using the relevant lifting eye-bolts
• Using all precautions and procedures during movement, lifting, functioning and maintenance of the plant.
The electric machines must be transported, commissioned, maintained and repaired exclusively by qualified staff, with the
supervision of an expert who verifies that these operations are carried out correctly. The qualified staff must be must be
authorised by the Security Manager of the Company where the machine is to be installed. Regarding this, the IEC364
International Standards prohibits the use of unqualified staff for jobs where electric power is present. Before starting any
maintenance procedure, ensure that:
• The machinery connected to the machine shaft does not cause mechanical rotations;
• The machine windings have been disconnected from the electric power supply and
there is no possibility of the power supply being applied accidentally;
• All accessories associated with machine functioning in the work area have been
disconnected from their power supply.
If the machine is not earthed it may cause fatal injury. The machine and plant must be earthed in compliance with the
regulations in force in the various countries.
Any modification of the machine must be authorised in writing by SICMEMOTORI.
Only use the indicated materials (sealers, oils, greases, solvents, etc.).
1. GENERALITIES

Tests. All direct current machines produced by SICMEMOTORI undergo complete testing in our Test Room, where their compliance
with contractual requirements are verified.
Quality Assurance. All of the production process is managed by the internal Quality Assurance System, which is responsible for
compliance to the procedures and manufacture instructions, controls, tests and inspections issued by the internal quality system.
The internal Quality System is controlled by the CSQ (*) in compliance with ISO 9001-2000 European Standards.
(*) The Quality Certification System CSQ is managed by IMQ in collaboration with the CESI, and is part of the CISQ convention (Italian
Certification of Quality Systems) and adheres to the EQNET international agreement.
1.10 Limitations of Use

The direct current machines manufactured by SICMEMOTORI are adapt for use in an industrial environment, for application in plants
such as (but not only) the iron and steel industry, plastic materials, rubber, working ferrous and non ferrous metals, cables, plants for
transport of persons (cable cars, chairlifts, etc.) or for movement of goods (cranes, conveyor belts, etc.), cement, in the food industry,
paper and printing, in mining (exclusively environments without an explosive atmosphere), etc.. Therefore these products are
reserved exclusively for professional use.
Installation environment. It is envisioned that the machine should work in a dry, clean environment. The presence of high humidity (or
installation outside), and/or aggressive agents or dust in the atmosphere, must be communicated when ordering; the manufacturing designs to be
adopted in order to obtain acceptable functioning in these conditions (not normal) must be agreed, and indicated in the order
confirmation. Finally, the machine is designed, except when different agreements have been made with the client:
• for environmental temperatures of –15 +40°C
• for max. height above sea-level of 1000 mt.
Different installation height or temperature conditions, generally lead to variations of the nominal values of performance (consult
SICMEMOTORI). See point 1.12 for the lifting problem when the environmental temperature is very low.
Power supply. The machine is envisioned to supply contract performance (power – torque - speed) if powered (armature and field
circuits) in nominal conditions, as stated on the plate. Incorrect power supplies can lead to the impossibility to supply contract
performance or inefficiency for faults or intervention of the protections
Protections. The machine must be permanently protected against unacceptable power supply or load situations and against the
development of faults SICMEMOTORI is always available for collaboration in identifying the most adapt protections for every particular
case. Lack of/incorrect calibration or inefficiency of the necessary protections leads to the exclusion of responsibility of SICMEMOTORI
in the case of faults or inefficiency.
A Electric protections
The machines are normally supplied with some electrical protections that must be connected and whose functioning must be verified
before machine commissioning.
The machines must also be earthed before commissioning (see par. 4.2).
B Mechanical protections
Before commissioning the machines, the user must check that all mechanical protections on the machines are operational. In
particular, the machines must not be commissioned if:
• the machine has not been adequately fixed to its base (see par.2.2);
• the machine hatches have not been closed correctly;
• the lid of the main terminal box (and auxiliary if existing) has not been closed adequately with its screws, to prevent accidental
contact with live parts;
• the fan, if present, does not have the filter mounted or, if missing, a protection network to prevent accidental contact with the
electric fan rotor.
As well as the mechanical protections inherent to the machines, the user must also check that all parts coupled to the machines and
moving parts (joints, pulleys, transmission belts, etc.) are adequately protected from accidental contact.
C Protection from heat hazard
The external surfaces of direct current machines may reach very high temperatures during functioning (thermal risk). For this reason
this thermal risk is indicated on plates affixed to the surfaces of the machine itself. The user must prepare protective barriers whenever
the machines are installed in areas where the risk of accidental contact with the operators is present.
D Protections against sound level
Before using the machine, the user must ensure that all protections against noise emitted by the machine are functioning.
SICMEMOTORI is available with its experience in this subject.
1.11 Machine noise level

The noise of the machine expressed in “sound pressure” is detected using a sound level metre functioning in an
open-circuit operation, with nominal power supply and ventilation system functioning (IEC 34-9 Standard). The
sound level metre is positioned at the centre of the 4 sides of the direct current machine being tested and parallel
to the fan air inlet (or of the fan asynchronous motors if the machine has been cooled by the heat exchanger) at a
distance of about 1 mt. The average value among the values obtained is the noise level adopted by
SICMEMOTORI.
The noise values of SICMEMOTORI machines are stated in table 1.11 below.

Table 1.11
The values in this table refer to the values emitted by the machines and are not necessarily the values to which the workers will be
exposed. This also depends on the presence of other machines, the installation environment, type of working, etc. The user must
decide if the afore-stated values lead to the necessity to install noise protection barriers.
1.12 Transport, receipt and movement of the machine

The machines leave the factory ready for installation, unless agreed differently. The machines are not packaged unless specifically
requested on ordering.
Attention:
At destination it is advised to examine the state of the machines to check that they have not been damaged
during transport; in this case inform the carrier immediately so as not to loose the warranty. The claim must
arrive at SICMEMOTORI within 8 days of receiving the goods!
When moving the machines, they must be lifted by attaching them to the relevant eye-bolts on the machine’s surface. With exception
of motors with P132÷P200 axis height and heat exchanger mounted in high position, never use the eye-
bolts positioned on the cooling devices (electric fans, heat exchangers, etc.) to move the machine itself. If
the load is unbalanced because of joints or particular executions, balance using additional ropes.
Lifting using eye-bolts must be avoided if the environmental temperature is lower than –15°C .
The following table supplies machine weights, complete with cooling systems. Remember that the weights are also
stated on the main plates on the machines themselves.

To lift the motor, check the weight on the plate and use lifting devices with a greater capacity.
Attention: machine unloading and movement operations must be carried out by expert staff
(slingers, crane drivers, fork lift drivers, etc.); it is recommended that these operations are assisted
by a person on the ground who gives signals.

1.13 Storing the machines

If the machines are not commissioned immediately, they must be placed in a covered, clean and dry environment. The minimum
storage temperature must not be less than –30°C . If the machine must be stored in temperatures less than –30°C, agreements
must be made with SICMEMOTORI on making the order. If the machine must be stored for a long period of time (several months) or if
long periods of inactivity are envisioned the following precautions must be taken:
• lift the brushes from the commutator to prevent the formation of damaging marks on the latter;
• check the insulation resistance periodically (see par. 4.3). The isolations must be protected from humidity;
• turn the shaft a few times to prevent damage on the bearing tracks;
• it is recommended to check the end of the shaft to verify the state of the protective paint to prevent corrosion and oxidation. If
necessary treat with paint or anti-corrosive grease.
At this time the ball bearings do not require maintenance, as the amount of grease that has already been introduced is sufficient to
keep them lubricated.
1.14 NE series machines

The machines in the NE series comply dimensionally with NEMA Standards. All installation, use and maintenance operations described
successively are also valid for these motors. Regarding the various sizes, the table of equivalence shown below is valid.

Therefore, to have the instructions relative to a NE160NX2 motor (NEMA size 2512ATZ), refer to the instructions in this manual relative
to IEC Sicme P160 NX2 motor size.
1.15 XP series machines

Machines deriving from those in the NP Series, which preserve all features, except for the presence of two 2 commutators: one from
the drive end, one from the commutator end.
All installation, use and maintenance operations described in this file are therefore valid for this machine, with the recommendation that
the controls relative to the commutator, brushes and brush-holders must be carried out for both commutators.
2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Installation of the machines
The machine must be positioned so that access to the commutator end brushes and the drive end lateral hatches is always easy. Install the
machine in compliance with the mountings and positions IM, the type of cooling IC and the level of protection IP defined in the
establishment and specified on the plate.
If the operator does not have the machine’s dimension diagram, he can request it, by communicating the serial number printed on the
main plate, from the SICMEMOTORI technical office.
2.2 Positioning
Machines with IM 1001 positioning (B3, with horizontal axis with feet), must be fixed using 4 screws with a diameter adequate to the
holes in the feet (see table 2.a). In the case of double or triple motors, consult SICMEMOTORI.
The resting surface must be uniform, with tolerance so that the maximum difference between the feet is not greater than 0.1 mm (if necessary, use
alignment thicknesses) and it must be able to support the torques generated by the electric machines (see table 2.c).
In the case of a flanged machine with horizontal axis (IM3001 B5) or vertical axis (IM3011 - V1), fixing to the counter-flange must be
carried out with screws according to 2.b and corresponding to the holes in the flange. The surface of the counter-flange must be
worked accurately, to guarantee flatness and perpendicularity to the axis of the controlled machine, with tolerance at least
corresponding to the normal class according to DIN 42955. Alignment thicknesses are not accepted.
The resting surface and/or the counter-flange must be rigid and without deformations and vibrations.
The machine with IM 2001 mounting and positioning and derivatives (with shaft and flange) must be installed by referring to table 2.a
regarding feet screw fasteners and table 2.b for flange screw fasteners.

depends on the direction of rotation.
TAB. 2.c – Short circuit dynamic loads
Caution!
The machine base, whether it is in iron or cement grout, must be carried out by staff expert in
this type of work.
3. COUPLING TO THE OPERATIVE MACHINE

The coupling part and the type of transmission must be selected and planned on the basis of particular uses. The client is responsible
for this choice and planning: SICMEMOTORI is responsible for the correctness of technical data of its competence, which is supplied
on the client’s request. Before mounting the coupling part it is necessary to remove any protective paint that covers the end of the
shaft. Do not use emery cloth. Working tolerance of the hole must correspond to the nominal diameter of the shaft indicated on the
dimension diagrams with ISO system tolerance.
3.1 Keying of the transmission gears (shaft with cotter)

SICMEMOTORI motors are always balanced using a cotter (unless differently requested on ordering). Therefore the transmission
gears must also be balanced using a cotter.
Key the transmission part by referring to the Manufacturer’s detailed instructions.
Fig. 3.a – Example of keying the

transmission gears using the threaded
hole on the end of the motor shaft
a) Motor
b) Transmission part
c) Mounting equipment
3.2 Shrinking on the transmission gears (shafts without cotter)

Ensure that the coupling joint has been balanced WITHOUT the cotter.
Before proceeding with the operation, check the coupling materials.
The size of the shaft and the hole in the hub must comply with those indicated in the dimension diagrams (tolerance of the ISO
system).
The holes used for future extraction of oil must be clean and without any working residues.
• Heat the hub to obtain the play necessary for mounting. This can be carried out in an oil bath at about 220 °C (the normal
point that oil catches fire is about 270 °C; check this value for the oil that is being used!). If higher temperatures are required,
the hub must be heated by induction or put into an air circulation oven.
• To be sure that mounting of the hub onto the shaft takes place without difficulty, control the diameter inside the hub using a
micrometer, before starting the shrinking operation.
Shrink the transmission part by referring to the Manufacturer’s detailed instructions.
Caution
If the shaft end surface and/or the hole in the hub are damaged, this damage must be eliminated BEFORE
mounting by using Indian stone.
3.3 Direct coupling

The use of flexible coupling is advised to prevent the transmission of any axial thrust onto the bearings.
Good alignment leads to the use of a comparator and a thickness gauge for the following operations:
• Mount the two half-couplings on the motor and on the coupled machine, position and align the machines. Tighten the fixing
screws on the feet.
• Apply the comparator onto the two half-couplings and measure radial alignment. Repeat the measurement after having
rotated the two shafts together by 45°, 90° and 180 °.
• Insert a thickness gauge between the faces of the half-couplings and measure their distance. Repeat the measurement at 90°,
180°, 270°.
• Correct any alignment errors detected by inserting thicknesses between the base and feet.
• Tighten the screw fasteners fully home, repeat the measurements and if alignment is accurate, apply the adjustment plug
between the motor and the base.
For indicative radial and axial tolerance values, see fig. 3.c.
Remember that there must be sufficient play between the transmission gears to allow for axial dilation due to heating.

To contain radial stress on the motor bearing, choose the max. Compatible diameter for the driving pulley, which is compatible with the
requested reduction ratio and with the max. accepted diameter for the shifted pulley. In a first approximation the chosen diameter must
be verified by calculating the pull that derives from it and comparing it with the accepted pull (see point 5.12 for normal working
machines). If the check gives a negative result, the diameter of the pulley must be increased, or pass to the roller bearing, if ball
bearings were initially envisioned, or increase the diameter of the shaft (consult SICMEMOTORI).
To contain the pull on the shaft with equal torque, the angle of the driving pulley embracing the belts must be increased (increase the interaxis
between the two pulleys – contain the reduction ratio).
For good belt alignment, there must also be good parallelism between the shafts and a safe and easy system for tensioning the belts
must also be present.
4. COMMISSIONING
4.1 Electric connections
All of the machines are supplied with cable box complete with terminal board. The cables are marked by the letters stated in the
diagram attached to the machine.
Marking of the terminals is carried out according to IEC 60034-8 Standards or on request according to NEMA, CSA, etc. Standards.
For connections refer to the diagrams shown in par 4.7, connecting the machine for the envisioned direction of rotation.
The direction of rotation can be clockwise or anticlockwise indifferently. Sometimes the precision adjustment of the machine may be
carried out for only one direction.
In this case an arrow on the DE end shield indicates the pre-established sense of direction.
On request, on ordering, sometimes free cables of agreed length can be supplied instead of the terminal box. Also for this case the
considerations for terminal marking and connection diagrams are valid.
Attention: before starting-up a motor ensure that the separated field is powered at full voltage.
4.2 Earth Connection
DANGER!
The machine must always be connected to the earth plant of the establishment where it is
installed.
For earthing a screw with respective anti-flattening washer are prepared on the stator play in a
visible position along with a screw in the terminal box, both with plate and marking. Both screws
must be connected to the earth plant.
Ensure that there is no paint between the screws and the machine’s surface. If necessary, remove the paint
before carrying out the connection.
4.3 Inspections before start-up

Before commissioning the machine or after a long period of inactivity it is a good idea to carry out the following verifications:
• Use a 500 V Megger to check isolation towards the rotor mass and stator windings. The value revealed must not be less than
1.5 MΏ for motors up to frame size 280, at 7MΏ lager motors. The operation must be carried out with the power supply
cables disconnected.
ALARM!
During and immediately after measurement of the insulation resistance, the machine’s terminals
are potentially dangerous and must not be touched. It is necessary to ensure that there is no
voltage residue.
If this condition does not exist, the causes and solutions could be the following:
a) Presence of dust Non-greasy dust may be removed using a clean, dry cloth, or even better using a suction device. Dust on
inaccessible parts can be eliminated by cleaning the inside of the machine by blowing clean dry air at a pressure between 2-3.5 bar.
Before this operation remove machine inspection or closure doors. Repeat the isolation test.
b) Presence of grease or oil Rub with a cloth (not impregnated) and dielectric solvent. If the problem persists, disassemble the machine
and wash and dry the interested parts in the oven for 3 or 4 hours at a temperature of 100-120°C.
Repeat the isolation test before starting-up the motor.
• Check that the asynchronous motors of any electric fans (or heat exchangers) are prepared to be powered correctly from the
available alternate current network (number of phases, voltage, frequency) and to turn in the established direction.
• For motors with air-water heat exchangers, check that the water circuit functions.
• Check that the protection relay contacts for ventilation defect (pressure switch) commute with the functioning fan. In the case
of ventilation with pipes, ensure that the quality of the air and capacity and pressure data respond to the established values
and check the direction of ventilation.
• Check the armature and field voltages values are the same as those stated on the plate.
• Check that the brushes unsheathed cables are fixed well and do not interfere with the springs.
• Check that the brushes have not been damaged during transport; if this has occurred replace the damaged brushes with new
ones, which have the same quality and size and clean the inside of the motor well.
• Check that the brushes run freely inside their brush-holder boxes.
• Check that all accessories and/or protection devices have been correctly connected and function.
DANGER!
Work on the electric machine may only be carried out if it is absolutely sure that the machine is
not connected to the electric network.
4.4 Recommended protection devices

All transmission gears must be adequately protected with sumps to prevent contact with moving parts.
4.5 Start-up
DANGER!
The armature voltage may be given to the machine only if excitement is inserted! If the armature
voltage is applied without excitement being inserted or with the excitement circuit open or
interrupted, the direct current machine may destroy itself (in fact, in these conditions machine
speed increases until the bearing bench collapses or the rotor explodes!).
Before starting the machine, as well as the operations in the previous paragraph, ensure that:
• It turns freely;
• The excitement circuit has not been interrupted;
• Transport safety devices (if existing) have been removed.
ALARM!
The direct current machine must not function without ventilation, as it would heat up excessively
and burn. Pay attention therefore that the fans function correctly and the cooling water in the heat
exchangers (where envisioned) circulates in the quantity and pressure indicated on the heat
exchanger plates.
When the machine is commissioned for the first time, it is a good idea to ensure that there are no visible signs of malfunctioning, such
as strange noises, vibrations, etc. It is a good idea to allow the machine to function without a load for a period of time before applying a
load. If there are problems, consult par. 7 and, eventually SICME SERVICE.
4.6 Inspections after start-up

After machine start-up (within the first 100 hours of functioning) carry out the following checks:
a) Check that the temperature of the bearings does not exceed 80°C in normal working conditions.
Overheating of the bearings is normally due to one of the following causes:
• Bad alignment with consequent vibrations and tendency for seizure;
• Excessive axial or radial thrust;
• Excessive quantity of grease. In this case the motor must be stopped, dismount the grease-guard/s and eliminate the
excessive grease using a spatula; then re-mount the grease-guard/s
b) Check that the field current of the independent field is that indicated on the plate, keeping in mind that the field winding resistance
increases by about 45% from cold to reaching normal working heat.
The plate values refer to normal working conditions.
c) Check that the armature current is lower than or equal to that on the plate.
Attention: an excessively low current value causes excessive wear of the brushes with consequent scratching of
the commutator (see par. 7.3). Contact SICME SERVICE immediately.
d) Check that the brushes form a uniform grey-silver film on the commutator. Its presence indicates good commutation (see par. 5.2).
e) Measure the height of the brushes and register the value.
ALARM!
Working temperature
The maximum temperature rise accepted by IEC Standards for stator yoke is 125°C if the
machine is in class H (105°C if in class F, 80°C if in class B).
Even if it normally has a much lower temperature rise value, our machines do however require
adequate precautions to prevent contact, even accidental. Moreover, highly inflammable
materials must not be left in contact with the functioning machine.
A temperature outside of the stator that is too low must be attributed to a low work load, with possible problems tied to functioning
with low load (see par. 7.3) If necessary, contact SICME SERVICE.

5. MAINTENANCE
An accurately prepared precautionary maintenance programme may reduce faults to a minimum, reducing the running cost at the same
time.
The maintenance programme must be studied by competent technicians, which take the features of the electric machine used into
consideration along with the particular use to which it is destined and the environment in which it must function.
Use of the machine means: the more or less strategic role that it is assigned within the plant, on which the accuracy and frequency of
the controls and precautionary maintenance to be programmed, will depend.
Environment means: the group of temperature, humidity, vibrations, exceptional mechanical stress features, along with the presence of
aggressive chemical agents, to which the machine may be exposed in its place of installation. The type and frequency of precautionary
maintenance interventions will also depend on the environment.
All maintenance operations must be carried out by qualified staff, which are informed about the content of these instructions, which
must always be at their disposal.
SICMEMOTORI advises the user to prepare a specific maintenance file for every direct current machine installed, and its constant
update by expert staff.
After any interruption of functioning caused by protection equipment or for any other reason, an in-depth inspection of the
machine is necessary and, if necessary, also of plant components. The causes of the interruption must be clarified BEFORE
putting the machine back into service.
DANGER!
Before carrying out any work on the electric machine disconnect it from the network!
5.1 Programmed maintenance

Table 5.a indicates a type of programmed maintenance; it must be understood that this programme must be adapted to the client’s
requirements, and that SICMEMOTORI is available, on request, to collaborate and study the most opportune adaptations for

(k) As soon as phenomenon such as vibrations, temperature rise or noise occur, or when the machine must be
disassembled. Experience tells us that bearing problems are mainly caused by their wear, rather than fatigue of the
material. However, consumption also depends on functioning conditions.
The particular instructions for maintenance relative to the commutator, brushes, bearings and air filters are stated below.
5.2 Commutator
The commutator is the most delicate part of the direct current machine therefore more sensitive to all abuse. In normal conditions the
commutator does not require much maintenance apart from periodic inspections. An indication of good functioning is the uniform film
that forms on the commutator. The colour of the film can vary depending on the substances present in the environment. In this case the
commutator does not require any attention at all, just periodical cleaning.
Attention!
The film that forms on the commutator must not be removed, not even when the brushes are replaced.
Whenever the surface of the commutator is course or rough or with slight grooves, it is a good idea to pass over it with carborundum stone
or pumice stone.
It is also necessary to check the eccentricity of the commutator ensuring that it does not exceed the value of 0.05 mm.
If this does not happen or the surface is very rough with grooves or tracks, the commutator must undergo lathing. (See point 5.3)
5.3 Lathing, mica undercutting and polishing the commutator

These operations must only be carried out by expert staff.
The centring must be positioned on the bearing’s seat to allow the perfect concentricity with the surface of the commutator.
The minimum lathing diameter is indicated with a relevant circular notch on the front surface of the commutator (see fig. 5.3.a). For the
shielded commutators the minimum lathing diameter coincides with the external shielding (see figure 5.3.b).
Mica undercutting must be carried out after lathing using the relevant mill, or by hand using a saw with appropriate thickness. Mica
undercutting must be carried out in compliance with the indications stated in the table and in figs. 5.3.c and 5.3.d.
When mica undercutting has been carried out it is necessary to eliminate the burr and sharp edges on the surfaces of the thin blades
using the relevant scraper. Polishing the commutator is the last operation to be carried out and must be performed using a pumice
stone or with fine sand paper n. 3/0. Suck up metal dust produced and put back into service.

5.4 Commutation
By eye-checking commutation it is possible to easily recognise if the machine is functioning normally or if anomalies are present.
o
For a guide to evaluation of commutation quality refer to instruction n 1.00.49.0113.0. (table 5.c) stated below.
Some commutation anomalies can be prevented through an accurate control of the brushes, as described in the following points (from
5.5 to 5.7).
The aspect of the commutator is also and important indication of the machines state.
5.5 Brushes
The bushes must be the type recommended by SICMEMOTORI. Any change in type must be previously authorised by
SICMEMOTORI.
Attention!
The use of brushes of a different quality that is not previously authorised automatically voids the warranty.
Excessive wear of the brushes may be caused by their insufficient pressure. Excessive heating of the commutator may vice-versa be
due to the pressure of the brushes, which is too high.
Excessive consumption of the brushes and scratching of the commutator can depend on the fact that the machine works for long
periods of time with very reduced loads.
Corresponding solutions are shown in point 7.3.
5.6 Maintenance of the brushes
DANGER!
Periodically it is necessary to ensure correct mounting and electric connection of the brushes as follows:
• The brushes must be free to run in the brush-holder box (play between 0.1 and 0.3 mm);
• The brushes must be well connected electrically (cables fixed well to the brushes, integral, correctly connected to the
corresponding screws in the brush-holder arc)
• The pressure applied by the spring onto the brushes must be between the values indicated in table 5.b.

Table 5.c – Index of commutation
5.7 Replacement of the brushes
DANGER!
The worn brushes (that present the danger of contact with the commutator unsheathed fixing cable with the brush cable itself) must be
replaced without delay. Replacement must be preferably carried out for all of the brushes at the same time. The relative operations are
illustrated in fig. 5.d.

e) Slide the brush out
f) Insert a new brush
g) Tighten lock-nut a of the terminal cover b
h) Re-attach the spring-holder support
i) Check that the spring-holder support is correctly attached to the box and check for any interference or excessive play
between the new brush and the old box. This operation can be carried out easily by pulling the brush from the unsheathed
cable and allowing it to run for the entire length of the box.
Fig. 5.d – Replacement of the brushes
Generally, the brushes must be replaced when their consumption has arrived at the height of the writing indicating the type of brush,
present on the brush itself (this writing acts as a reference to determine the time of brush replacement), to avoid contact between the
unsheathed fixing cable with the graphite and the commutator.
Always use brushes that have the same quality as the originals and only change the quality after having received a favourable opinion
from the SICMEMOTORI Assistance Service.
Attention!
The use of brushes of a different quality without previous authorisation automatically causes the warranty of the motor to
become void.
A general guide to the various qualities of brushes is shown in table 5.e. The table also indicates the qualities that can be considered
equivalent, according to our experience.
The surface of the new brushes in contact with the commutator must be formed, following the main direction of rotation, if known, using
emery cloth and taking care not to break or round off corners.
To do this it is a good idea to run a strip of emery cloth, measuring as wide as the commutator, underneath the brushes. The carbon
dust must be carefully removed.

5.7.1 Replacement of the brush-supports
DANGER!
When the brush-support boxes show evident signs of wear such as burns, grooves caused by flashes, or when play between the brush
and brush-supports is very large (see par. 5.4 5.5 5.6) the brush-supports must be replaced by referring to the following instructions.
a) Ensure that the motor is electrically disconnected

b) Remove the brush according to instructions in. 5.7
c) Remove the nut pos. 1
d) Slide out the brush-holder pos. 2
e) Insert a new brush-holder taking care to align the box with the

5.8 Roller bearings

In the following paragraphs DE means drive end and NDE means commutator end
The machines in this range are normally envisioned with roller bearings. All bearings used by SICMEMOTORI have greater play (C3),
and so must all spare parts.
Normally the NDE bearing is a ball bearing (apart from on motors 710-800, which are roller); the DE bearing can be roller or ball (one
ball and one roller bearing are applied to frame sizes 710-800).
In frame size 800 motors the NDE end shield is isolated to eliminate the dangerous effects caused on the bearings by eventual shaft
currents.
The types of bearings used are indicated in table 5.f and on the motor's plate. If there is disagreement, that stated on the plate must be
followed.
5.9 Useful life of the bearings

The bearings are selected by SICMEMOTORI on the basis of data from the suppliers catalogues and to the types of coupling, and
envision a theoretical life of:
• For direct coupling (absence of radial loads):
- motor sizes 80-112: 60000hours;
- motor sizes 132-800: 80.000 hours;
• indirect coupling with radial load motors sizes 80-450: 20.000 hours.
For 500-800 frame size motors, envisioned for in direct coupling, please consult SICMEMOTORI.
The theoretical life is calculated for normal working conditions, i.e. for normal service (continual service with load equal to or lower than
the nominal, without sudden overloads or inversion of gears) with normal direct coupling using a flexible or indirect joint using pulleys
and belts with diameter of the driving pulley, pull of the belts and barycentre of the pull itself within established limits, (see point 5.12),
in normal environments (without vibrations or blows, dry, clean, with maximum environmental temperature of 40°C). The theore tical life
cannot be subject of the warranty (as it is a statistic value, which cannot be used without caution in every individual case), and is
transmitted by SICMEMOTORI to the client on the basis of information received from his supplier. The effective useful life of the
bearing depends mainly on the particular service and by the efficiency of maintenance. The establishment of a reasonable effective
useful life, to be considered for a programmed maintenance plan, is entrusted to the user’s Maintenance Service, and must be based on the
constant and systematic control of the machine in use.
5.10 Bearing inspections

The inspections must be part of a precise planned maintenance programme, with the aim of keeping under control:
• temperature rise, which must never exceed 70°C in normal working conditions. A higher temperature rise generally denotes
deterioration of coupling conditions with unacceptable radial or axial stress;
• Noise: blows at more or less regular intervals must never be perceived. Any blows are a symptom of deterioration of one or more rolling
elements. At the first sign of abnormal noises, carry out an in-depth check of bearing wear (wear of the track, consumption of
the cage, play between external ring and seat, external thrust, etc.) with the machine at a standstill and disassembled.
If the above-mentioned phenomenon get worse or at the first suspect that a bearing is broken it must be replaced immediately, to
prevent the danger of serious damage to the machine (see points 6.5 and 6.6).
5.11 General bearing data (standard machines)

The indications that follow (from par. 5.12 to 5.17) are supplied to ease drawing up of a programmed maintenance plan.
5.12 Types of bearings and radial loads accepted (standard machines)

The types of bearings used and radial loads accepted on the end of normal SICMEMOTORI machines are indicated in table 5.f Always
refer to the types of bearings indicated on the direct current machine's plate. In the case of contradictory information, follow that printed
on the plate.

Table 5.g.2 – maximum radial loads for 112-200 motors with LO roller bearing
The radial load Fr is calculated using the following formula:

6
Fr = 19,1 x P x K x 10
Dp x n
where:
Fr = radial load on the shaft in N
P = nominal power of the motor in kW
n = nominal speed of the motor in g/1’
Dp = diameter of the pulleys in mm
K = belt tension co-efficient, that can be approximated to:
K = 1 for toothed belts
K = 2.35 for trapezoid belts
K = 3.75 for normal flat belts
The point X of application of radial load Fr on the shaft depends on the type and number of belts used and, in the case of trapezoid
belts, it can be determined using table 5.g.3.
For motors not included in the table, consult SICMEMOTORI.

If in doubt, and for sizes not included in the table above, always consult SICMEMOTORI.
N.B.1 - 355÷800 range – Only direct coupling is normally envisioned for these machines, without significant radial and axial loads. A
machine in this range must not therefore be used with couplings that lead to radial and/or axial stress, without first having obtained a
favourable opinion from SICMEMOTORI.
N.B.2 - Machines with vertical axis with 200-axis height or above – Use with coupling such as to cause significant radial loads must
always undergo the SICMEMOTORI preliminary tests.
5.13 Lubrication programmes

A periodic bearing lubrication programme must be previously prepared by the Client’s Maintenance Service. For standard machines in
normal working conditions it may be obtained, as a first approximation, from tables 5.h, 5.i and 5.l. For normal working conditions see
point 5.9.
Any diversion away from these conditions leads theoretically to worsening and therefore shortening of intervals between re-lubrication,
that only practice, after a first period of service, can indicate. Every 4-5 re-lubrications the grease must be replaced completely (see
point 5.15).

Table 5.l – Indicative lubrication intervals in hours and quantity of grease (710-800 range)*
* Tables 5.h, 5.i and 5.l are valid for bearings of machines with horizontal shafts e.g. the stationary type and in presence of
normal loads and can be applied to good quality lithium grease at a temperature that does not exceed 70°C. As the
temperature increases, accelerated aging of the grease must be taken into consideration. It is therefore recommended to half
the intervals in the table for every 15°C bearing w orking temperature increase above 70°C, remembering that the grease’s
maximum acceptable temperature must not be exceeded. For vertical shaft bearings the intervals must be reduced by half.
Moreover: check the data stated with that on the motor’s plate! In the case of contradictory information, follow that printed on
the plate.
5.14 Lubrication – Specific instructions

This operation must be carried out with the machine in movement. Apply the pump to the greasing nipple, remove the outlet plug from
the grease to allow the oil originating from deteriorated grease to escape. Add the grease in the quantity envisioned on direct current
machine's plate. Remove the pump and replace the cap.
The positions of the greasing nipple and the drainage hole are signalled on the relevant plates.
Attention!
Do not apply an excessive quantity of grease. An excess of grease heats the bearings and can damage them. The
excess grease tends to escape along the shaft. Do not mix different types of grease, as they may not be
compatible.
In normal conditions (in particular, with environmental temperature not exceeding 40°C) the grease to use must have the following
features:
• Soap base: lithium or polyurethane

• Drop point: 180-190°C
•
o
Consistency: N 3NLGI with penetration values between 220 and 250 tenths of a mm;
• Working temperature: -25 a +120°C.
Table 5.m indicates several types of grease for use in normal conditions.
For difficult conditions (and in particular when the max. environmental temperature exceeds 50°C) use special greases with hig h thermal
stability and that have the following features:
• Organic base: urea or calcium salts;
• Drop point: 220-250°C;
• Consistency with penetration values between 240 and 270 tenths of a mm;
• Working temperature: -30 to +150°C.

Table 5.n – Some types of grease to be used in difficult conditions
5.15 Complete replacement of the grease

This must be carried out every 4-5 re-lubrications, if it is not the correct time for bearing replacement. The machine must be partially
disassembled, following points 6.1 to 6.6. Successively remove the grease used by the roller bearing ring external and by the cage as
well as the internal grease-guard. Remove the grease used by the ball bearings. This must be carried out first with petrol and
successively with hot oil. Finally dry with dry, clean air and re-mount grease-guards and bearings according to the instructions given in
point 6.5 for new cushions. Fill the bearing with grease and fill the adjacent chambers by 2/3 of their capacity and re-mount the
machine
5.16 Bearings for special machines
Machines for special mechanical executions (e.g. with shaft ends having diameters different from the norm) may have special bearings.
This results safe from the comparison between the types of bearings indicated on the plate and those indicated in the corresponding
Technical Catalogue or File (Request it from the Sales Network).
5.17 Bearing replacement

This must be envisioned to coincide with general programmed maintenance of the machine when the useful life envisioned for the
bearings is approached (see point 5.9). For relative operations see point 6.5 and 6.6
5.18 Air filter

When present, the filtering panel must be controlled weekly to prevent it from blocking and causing excessive fall in pressure and
reduction of capacity to unacceptable values.
The panel can be cleaned with mechanical means (beating and/or suction) or by washing in water.
The panel must be replaced after it has been washed a certain number of times
5.19 Ventilation failure detector

Normally the ventilation failure detector device is positioned in the upper part of the heat exchangers or fitted onto the scroll of the
electric fans.
The ventilation failure detector device must never be tampered with; calibration must always be carried out by qualified staff, otherwise
it will not function correctly. This manifests in:
• Too frequent interventions, with continual interruption of service; in this case, it is prohibited to short-circuit the device to allow
the machine to work;
• Delayed interventions, with lack of intervention even when the dirtiness of the filter requires intervention. In this case, there is
great risk of putting the protected machine out of order.
Whenever in exceptional cases, for example during maintenance, or for replacement, it must be calibrated, follow the instructions
below.
Attention!
If in doubt always consult the SICMEMOTORI Client Assistance Service.
Instruments : Analogue Tester or Digital Tester
Modality :
• Place the tester on the ohmic capacity
• Position the push rods on the ends of the pressure switch contacts identified with numbers 1 and 3 (fig 5.p).
• Tighten differential adjustment screw “A” completely (screws not sealed).
• Check movement of the tester indicator (contact closed).
• Slowly loosen screw “A” until the ’tester indicator returns to the rest position (contacts open).
• Loosen screw “A” further by 1/4 of a turn.
• Loosen adjustment screw “B” until the tester indicator moves (contacts closed).
• Tighten screw “B” slowly until the tester indicator returns to the rest position (contacts open).
• Tighten screw “B” by another 1/2 turn.
• Activate ventilation and check that the tester indicator moves (contacts closed).
• Disconnect ventilation and check that the tester indicator returns to the rest position (contacts open).
By deactivating and activating ventilation the two commutations must occur.
FIG. 5.p
5.20 Tachogenerator
Refer to the Manufacturer's Maintenance Standards
Attention: before mounting and/or connecting the tachogenerator carefully read the instructions. The warranty is jeopardised
immediately if these instructions are not respected or if the dynamo is tampered with and/or repaired by unauthorised staff.
Mounting and/or connection of the tachogenerator must be carried out by qualified staff If in doubt always consult the
SICMEMOTORI Client Assistance Service.
5.21 Impulse generator (encoder)

Before mounting and/or connecting the encoder carefully read the instructions. The warranty is jeopardised immediately if
these instructions are not respected or if the encoder is tampered with and/or repaired by unauthorised staff
Mounting and/or connection of the encoder must be carried out by qualified staff. If in doubt always consult the
SICMEMOTORI Client Assistance Service.
Operations that must NOT be carried out using the tachogenerator (dynamo and/or encoder)
MECHANICAL
Do not disassemble the machine otherwise the warranty will be jeopardised; repairs are accepted under guarantee only for equipment
sent free of carriage to Sicme Motori
DO NOT connect the small shaft to moving parts with rigid joints, but exclusively those with flexible joints. Incorrect mounting drastically
reduces bearing life and excludes any form of warranty.
DO NOT strike the instrument: it is possible to break internal parts, excluding any form of warranty. In particular, pay attention when
mounting coupling parts to the motor shaft to which the tachogenerator is coupled: NEVER use mallets or other means to fit
transmission gears!
DO NOT carry out any interventions on the shaft; this may cause the disk to break, deterioration of the bearings and loss of the
warranty.
DO NOT apply abnormal pressure, bend or twist the instrument’s shaft.
NON not mount differently from that envisioned.
During re-mounting of the flexible joint pay attention not to close the dowels with the joint itself compressed or extended, as
it would obstruct its extension adjustment function owing to heating of the motor shaft.
ELECTRICAL
DO NOT use power sources with an autotransformer that does not assure galvanic insulation from the network power supply.
DO NOT run the cable near to/parallel to the high voltage lines or to the power supply line, nor join cables in the same track. This
precaution must be observed scrupulously, to prevent malfunctioning due to inductive interference.
DO NOT use cables that are longer than necessary. Try to maintain the length of the cable as short as possible, so as to prevent the
influx of electrical disturbance.
DO NOT carry out connections if you have any doubts (see the connection diagram n the instruments label). Incorrect connections may
cause the instrument’s internal circuits to break.
DO NOT connect the instrument’s cable shield to a 0 Volt circuit
The cable shield MUST BE connected to earth (GND). DO NOT leave it disconnected! The shield must be connected to earth only from
the motor power supply side. In some cases, depending on the type of plant, it may happen that the shield must be connected both
from the power supply side and from the instrument side female connector.
DO NOT opt for NPN or PNP electronics with connections greater than 6 m. In this case the use of the line-driver output is
recommended, or subsidiary. To extend cables, use twisted shield cabling and a line-receiver compatible with RS422A in the receiving
circuit.
DO NOT opt for a power supply voltage of 24 Vdc if a high frequency reply is received. Orientate onto a voltage of about 5 Vdc and an
electronic line-driver.

6. DISASSEMBLY AND RE-ASSEMBLY OF THE MACHINE

For particulars and nomenclature refer to paragraph 10 – “demonstration diagrams and nomenclature”.
DANGER!
6.1 Operations preliminary to disassembly

After mechanical uncoupling (opening of the joint or equivalent operation, see point 6.2)), remove the screws that block the feet and/or the
flange and remove the reference plugs. Moreover:
- PVA-BPVA-BPVAB machines: remove the screws, hatches if present and the electric fan from the outlets.
- CNVC-CBARH-CBARO machines: remove the cooling unit from the motor.
6.2 Disassembly. Similar operations for all machines.

Disconnect the machine from all electric cables.
Extract the half-coupling with relevant tool when cold if the end of the shaft has the key (see fig.6.a) or refer to the Manufacturer's
instructions for the transmission part if the end of the shaft is smooth. Remove the tachogenerator (see fig. 6.b and following
instructions) and/or other accessories, remove the hatches or the lateral drive end and commutator end closures.
Disconnect the connection cables from the respective brush-holders by removing the screw and nut fasteners.
Slide the brushes out from their respective brush-holder boxes.
For frame sizes with grease-guards, remove screws 4.8 that fix the drive end 4.17 and commutator end 4.7 internal grease-guards.
Fig. 6.a – Cold extraction of a half-coupling
Fig. 6.b – Disassembly of the tachogenerator
Remove the cap in 5.11 from the support 5.1 to enter joint 5.2.
Unscrew the threaded dowel 5.20 from the tachogenerator side half-coupling and screws 5.30, and then remove the tachogenerator
5.3.
If the commutator end shaft end must be made accessible, the following operations must be carried out:
- remove support 5.1 by loosening screws 5.10;
- unscrew screws 5.40 and remove the shank 5.4 together with flexible joint 5.2
At this point the end of the commutator end main shaft is accessible.
During re-mounting the flexible joint pay attention not to close the dowels with the joint itself compressed or extended, as it
would obstruct its extension adjustment function owing to heating of the motor shaft.

Fig. 6.c – Disassembly of the rotor
6.3 Disassembly of the shields (motors 80-630)

80÷200, remove the screw fasteners from the shields, slightly beat the drive end and commutator end shields on the corners with a
plastic or lead mallet to favour removal of the stator centring, then slide the drive end and commutator end shield out. During the
operation keep the rotor raised with the correct pull, and insert strips of cardboard with a thickness of 0.5-1 mm into the lower part,
between the rotor and main poles, to prevent the magnetic parts from being damaged if they come into contact.
For frame sizes 225÷630 disassembly of the shields is carried out using two of the 3.12 or 3.13 screws, applied in the threaded holes
especially envisioned on the shields. These screws are tightened until unfixing, then loosened. During the following extraction of the
shields the rotor must be raised with correct pull. After the shields have been removed, insert strips of cardboard with a thickness of
0.5-1 mm in the air gap between rotor 1 and main poles 2.2, to prevent contact from damaging them.
Fig. 6.d – Removal of a

6.3.1 Disassembly of the end shields (motors 710-800)

Remove the Seeger rings from the drive end and commutator end shaft 3.19. Remove the commutator end and drive end grease
valve rings 4.10 and 4.14 with the aid of a threaded tension rod and relative tool. Remove screws 3.12 and 3.13 that fix the end
shields 3.1 and 3.4 to the shell 2.1. Disassembly of the end shields (3.1 drive end and 3.4 commutator end) is carried out using two of
the screws 3.12 or 3.13 applied in the envisioned threaded holes. They are tightened until release has taken place, then they are
loosened. During successive extraction of the end shields, the rotor must be raised with correct pull; after the end shields have been
removed, insert pieces of card with thickness measuring 0.5- 1 mm into the air gap between the rotor 1 and main poles 2.2 to prevent
contact from damaging them.
6.4 Disassembly of the rotor

Once the shields have been removed, slide the rotor (rotor) out, clean and repair, if necessary. Follow the instructions for
disassembly in figure 6.c.
6.5 Bearing replacement (80-630 motors)

Disassembly and mounting of bearings must always be carried out with great care, paying particular attention not to ruin the bearing
seat on the shaft.
The worn bearings must be removed using the relevant extractor (fig. 6.d). The new bearings must be the same type as the worn
ones: particular attention to play, which normally is C3 (increased), apart from different indications on the machine plate.
To mount new bearings proceed as follows:
Clean the bearings, relative seats and the internal grease-guard chamber well. Heat the bearing to 80-100°C by induction, by placing
it in the oven or immerging it in an oil bath. Fix it onto the shaft and hold it against the shoulder for 60-90 seconds.
Eliminate the applied pressure and check that the internal ring does not rotate on the shaft.
The first lubrication of the new bearing must be carried out taking the following into consideration:
a) frame sizes 80÷180 – ball bearings with double screen. No lubricant;
b) frame sizes 132÷180 - with drive end roller bearing. No lubricant for the commutator end bearing with double screen. Fill the
internal grease-guard chamber up to 2/3, and the drive end roller bearing seat up to 1/3 + 2/3, with suitable grease;
c) frame size 200 – ball bearing with one screen. Fill the bearing seat by 1/3 + 2/3 with suitable grease;
d) frame size 200 - drive end roller bearing. Perform that stated in c) for the commutator end ball bearing. Perform that stated in b) for
the drive end roller bearing.
e) frame sizes 225÷630 – Fill the internal grease-guard chamber by 2/3, and by 1/3 + 2/3 the bearing seat, both drive end and
commuter end, with suitable grease.
Refer to tables 5.m – 5.n in point 5.14 regarding the types of grease to be used.
6.6 Bearing replacement (710-800 motors)

The bearings must be disassembled when cold using a relevant manual or hydraulic extractor. The applied roller bearings are NU-
type, made up of an internal ring fixed onto the shaft, and external ring with small borders and relative cage fixed into the end shield.
The ball bearing applied jointly from the drive end is radial with a row of ball bearings.
Disassembly procedure:
(FIG. 10.4 – 10.5 – 6e and 6f)
-Drive end fig. 6.e. use a manual or hydraulic extractor positioned behind the internal grease-guard 4.17, sliding the internal ring 3.22,
the spacer 4.16 and the ball bearing 3.3 out at the same time.
Fig. 6.e – Removal of a drive

end bearing
• -Commutator end fig. 6.f. Use a manual or hydraulic extractor positioned behind the internal ring 3.22 of the roller bearing
and slide the internal ring out
Fig. 6.f – Removal of a

commutator end bearing
Successively extract the external bearing ring 3.23 from end shields 3.1 and 3.4.
• Drive end shield: remove screws 4.8, remove the external grease-guard 4.9 and the ball bearing-holder bush 4.15 using the
relevant threaded extraction holes and two screws 4.8.
• Commutator end shield: remove the external grease-guard 4.9 using the relevant threaded extraction holes and two screws
4.8 tightening until unfixed.
Continue by extracting the roller bearing external ring from both end shields 3.1 drive end and 3.4 commutator end 3.23.
Using a lead or iron mallet, strike a soft-material extractor (iron rod or equivalent in copper, aluminium or soft iron) distributing the
blows on the circumference of the external ring in opposite symmetrical points to ease removal without seizure; do not strike the cage
so as not to damage the rollers.
6.6.1 Mounting new bearings (710-800 motors)

Before mounting, clean the bearings and relative seats on the shaft and on end shield 3.1 or 3.4 using a suitable solvent (petrol or
other). Do not use abrasive tools.
Fig. 6.g – Keying DE

bearings
6.6.2 Mounting the bearing internal ring on the shaft (motors 710-800)
Refer to figs. 10.4, 10.5 and 6.g.
a) Drive end bearing. Manually insert the grease-guard when cold 4.17 onto the shaft. Fill the grease-guard chamber up to 1/3 with
suitable grease (tab. 5.m - 5.n paragraph 5.14). Heat the ball bearing 3.3 and the ring inside the roller bearing 3.22 to 90-100°C (by
induction, by placing it in an oven or hot oil bath). Fix the ball bearing 3.3 onto the shaft and hold it against the shoulder for 60-90
seconds. Eliminate the pressure applied and check that the internal ring does not turn on the shaft.
Fill the bearing seat up to 1/2 2/3 with suitable grease (tab. 5.m-5.n paragraph 5.14).
Manually insert the spacer 4.16 onto the shaft when cold until it hits the ball bearing 3.3. Fix the internal ring to rollers 3.22 on the shaft
and hold it against the spacer shoulder for 60-90 seconds. Eliminate the pressure applied and check that the internal ring does not
turn on the shaft b) Commutator end bearing. Manually insert the grease-guard 4.7 onto the shaft when cold.
Fill the grease-guard chamber up to 1/3 with suitable grease, (tab. 5.m – 5.n paragraph5.14). Heat the roller bearing internal ring 3.22
to 90-100°C (by induction, by placing it in an oven or in a bath of hot oil). Fix the internal ring to rollers 3.22 on the shaft and hold
against the shaft shoulder for 60-90 seconds. Eliminate the pressure applied and check that the internal ring does not turn on the
shaft c) Warnings of risks from heat. Wear clean protective gloves when handling heated bearings. If shrinking is not possible keying
must be carried out.
It is possible to proceed in two ways:
• by using a lead or iron mallet, strike a soft-material pipe (copper, aluminium or soft iron) to distributor the stress on the entire
circumference of the internal ring.
• Using a pipe with adequate diameter and length, a pressure ring and a tie-rod to screw into the hole on the end of the shaft as in fig. 6.g
(the latter system is preferable).
6.6.3 Mounting the bearing external ring in the end shield (sizes 710-800)
Refer to figs. 10.4 and 10.5.
Drive end and commutator end bearing: apply the ball bearing-holder bush 4.15 inside the end shield 3.1 and take it into stroke using
two screws 4.8.
Perform the operations for both end shields 3.1 and 3.4.
Position the external ring 3.23 in the end shield, then using a wooden or resin mallet. Fix it by distributing the blows around the
circumference of the external ring. Avoid striking the cage so as not to damage the rollers.
It is advised to heat the end shields for this operation pos. 3.1 o 3.4 in an oven at 50-60°C and inse rt the bearing ring 3.using slight
pressure.
Lubricate by filling the bearing seat by 1/2-2/3 with suitable grease, see tables 5.m – 5.n in paragraph 5.14. Insert the end shields
onto the shaft
6.7 Disassembly of the poles

If the winding poles must be completely disassembled, firstly disconnect the connection terminals of internal connections and terminal
connections. Remove screws 2.6 to disassemble the complete main poles or screws 2.7 to disassemble complete auxiliary poles and
relative air gap correction sheets.
6.8 Re-mounting the machine

Proceed in the opposite way to disassembly, paying attention, whenever it is necessary to disassemble poles, to replace the isolation
and correction thicknesses in their original positions. If during disassembly the
brush-holder ray moves and the position of the “neutral area” has not been
marked, they must be restored as follows:
• power the independent field with alternating voltage and industrial
frequency (the effective value should possibly be of the same size as
the nominal direct voltage of the field, but different values are accepted)
• measure the voltage between two rows of brushes with opposite
polarities using a Voltmeter with central and max. and min. values of
±1.5 V (indicative value), while the brush-holder arc is turned slowly.
• The neutral area is reached when the indication on the Voltmeter tends
to zero itself (rough control).
• Finally repeat the operation with another Voltmeter with reduced scale,
approximately ±60 V (precision adjustment).
The neutral area must be restored if the rotor is replaced.
The operations described above give a good result if the surface of the brushes is adequately shaped. If the brushes are new, it is a
good idea to carry out the rough control with a Voltmeter with a wider scale and wait for the surface of the brushes to be shaped to
carry out precision adjustment with a Voltmeter with reduced scale.
Complete the operation by tightening the screws that block the brush-holder ray.
6.9 Moving the terminals box (motors 132÷ ÷315)

If for particular installation requirements it is necessary to position the terminal box on a different side to that originally envisioned,
and when it is not possible for this operation to be carried out by SICMEMOTORI or an authorised workshop, it is possible to proceed
as follows (nomenclature and particulars as in figure 10.2 and 10.5):
• Remove the cooling units if present (see point 6.1).
• Remove any accessories (tachogenerator, etc.) (point 6.2).
• Disconnect the connection cables between the stator and brush-holder ray unit (screws 3.17) taking care to mark the
terminals
• Remove the shields 3.1 and 3.4 as described in point 6.3, turn them by 90 or 180° according to the po sition you wish to
realise.
• Restore the electric connections with particular attention to the polarities. The polarities must be inverted with respect to
the initial polarities
Before blocking the shield screws they must be aligned by resting the motor on a surface. Successively block the screws and restore
any reference plugs.
ATTENTION: whenever the brush-holder ring has been moved from its original position and the neutral area has not been marked,
proceed as indicated in 6.8.
The operation is over. Proceed with start-up controls (points 4.3 and 4.4).
6.9.1 Moving the terminal box (motors 355÷ ÷450)

For this machine it is not possible to move the terminal box by rotating the end shields. Therefore the box must be disassembled and
mounted on the opposite side.
For this reason, the stator has two cable outlet holes on the two opposite sides. The terminal box 3.10 is fixed on one hole (normally
at D considering DE) using screws 3.18; a lid is fixed to the other.
To move the terminal box proceed as follows:
- open the terminal box (remove lid 3.20 by unscrewing screws 3.14)
- disconnect all cables that from inside the machine arrive at bars 3.11, by loosening nuts 3.15. If necessary, also remove external
power supply cables
- detach the box from the body of the stator, by loosening screws 3.18
- pass the internal connection cables between windings and terminal board, inside the machine and in the lower part, until they
correspond with the cable outlet to be used.
- fix the terminal box in the new position, by tightening screws 3.18
- attach the internal cables to the terminal board bars; pay attention to respect polarities. Attach the external power supply cables, if
they have been disconnected, and close the box by fixing the lid 3.20 using screws 3.14
- close the free cable outlet hole using the relevant cover.
The operation has ended. Carry out start-up controls (points 4.3 and 4.4).
N.B.- It may occur that some internal connection cables are too short. They must be extended using a cable of equal section and
equal insulation. For the particulars regarding the choice of the cable, the joint and insulation, contact SICMEMOTORI.
6.9.2 Moving the terminals box (motors 500-800)

If for particular installation requirements the terminal box must be positioned on a different side from that established initially, this
operation must be carried out by SICMEMOTORI or an authorised workshop.
6.10 Disposition and staggering of the brush-holders on the commutator

This operation can be carried out for sizes 500-800.
Wear of the commutator caused by brushes with opposite polarities is not uniform. To reduce the formation of surface grooves the
brushes must be staggered axially on the surface of the commutator.
It is important that staggering is carried out in a way that the same amount of positive and negative brushes pass over every track.
This result is obtained by staggering couples of brush-holders.
a) Staggering: staggering must be slightly more than the distance between adjacent brushes to eliminate the formation of crests.
If the machine in question is 8 mm.
b) Brush-holder distancing: the brush-holders must be equally distributed in circumference with ±0.6 mm tolerance measured on the
surface of the commutator.
c) Brush-holder alignment: all brush-holders in the same support must be parallel and aligned with the commutator thin blades with
±6 mm tolerance. The disposition and staggering diagram depending on the number of brush-holders per support is shown in fig. 6.h
for machines with 6 poles and in fig. 6.i for machines with 8 poles.

7.3 Commutation and brush anomalies

Good commutation depends on many factors, such as the humidity in the air, the presence of gas or dust in the air, temperature of the
cooling air too low, vibrations and low loads for a long period of time.
The choice of the direct type of brush for every type of service is indispensable to obtain good commutation and reduced consumption
of the brushes themselves. In spite the fact that SICMEMOTORI has great experience in this sense, unexpected factors may intervene
and worsen brush performance. In this case please contact SICMEMOTORI.
When commutation problems are detected and the SICMEMOTORI After-sales Service is contacted, the following information must be
supplied:
- Type of motor and serial number (to be found on the motor’s plate);
- Type and quantity of the brushes mounted, their aspect (rounded corners, surface with the commutator grooved, etc..)
- Description of the eye-check of the commutator surface (colour, if a film exists, presence of grooves, etc.)
- Armature current: average value absorbed by the motor and, if possible, an oscillogramme of armature current
- Type of environment (humidity, etc.)
7.3.1 Sparks
Light sparks are acceptable and in certain cases normal, until they reach the intensity such to leave traces of burning on the
commutator and the corners of the brushes.
It may also happen that some blades (generally at regular intervals) show a different colour, or that the film is not distributed evenly on
the blade. Normally this is not dangerous, but sometimes the situation can degenerate quickly and lead to serious problems with the
commutator.
Sparks caused by quick variations of current and speed are not generally dangerous.
In each case, even sparkling that at the start does not appear to be dangerous may, with the passing of time, and very quickly, become
extremely dangerous for the motor; therefore, it is recommended to inspect the surface of the commutator regularly, so that an increase
of sparks is detected immediately.
Main causes of sparks or commutation anomalies
1 Sparks may be caused by an increase in friction between the brushes and brush-holders, caused for example by dirt. In this case,
the pressure of the spring is no longer sufficient to ensure good contact between the brush and the commutator. The solution lies in
cleaning the brush-holder. The power supply must be interrupted before carrying out this cleaning operation.
2 When the motor starts to spark without apparent reason, it is very probable that there is a fault in the power supply (e.g. a burned
thyristor or control defect).
3 Another cause of sparks with production of burns on the contact surface of the commutator is incorrect contact between brush and
commutator. This could be due to:
- One or more blocked brushes or ruined spring. If this happens on just one brush, the problem may not be very important,
but if it happens on a lot of brushes, the other brushes are overloaded and the sparks become dangerous.
- Worn brushes. If one or more consumed brushes are not replaced immediately, the commutator contact surface may be
damaged by the brush unsheathed cables, with consequent motor sparks.
- Presence of oil on the commutator. In this case, the oil forms an isolating film on the surface of the commutator,
preventing good contact between commutator and brush. Small arches are formed that cause burning on the commutator
(burned oil)
- Presence of dust. Dust is deposited on the commutator and the rubbing of the brushes causes grooves in the
commutator, and therefore sparks.
4 Vibrations. The vibrations, caused, for example, by an unbalanced joint, by incorrect alignment or induced by the operative
machine, may cause an increase in sparks. Generally these types of sparks are present with problems on brush corners.
5 Humidity. If the air is too dry (below 6g/m3) the film does not form on the commutator. If the air is too humid (above 15g/m3) the film
becomes too thick. In both cases sparks are created.
6 Under loading. If a direct current machine functions for long periods of time with low current, it is recommended to decrease the
number of brushes, to obtain a current density in the brushes that guarantees good heating of the brush itself and, therefore, the
creation of the film on the commutator.
A commutator with homogenous film, with a colour that is not too intense, will guarantee optimum commutation and therefore long life
of the commutator itself and as a consequence also of the motor. Therefore a commutator with a good film must never be lathed or
cleaned with pumice stone.
DANGER!
The operations described below must only be carried out by trained and expert staff.
Necessary protective measures must be taken and the motor must be disconnected from the
network.
Some minor problems may be resolved with the use of a pumice stone, which, even if removing the film does not alter the profile of the
commutator.
If damage to the commutator is deep, the commutator must be rectified. This is an operation that requires highly qualified staff.
In extreme cases it may be necessary to disassemble and lathe the commutator.

b.2 Casing
The casing 2.0 guards and encloses filter 3.0, the cooling battery with pipe bundle 4.0 and the electric fan 5.0 for the circulation of
cooling air inside the machine 1.0. It is mounted onto the machine using attachment flanges with two air inlet and outlet openings
(mouths), for circulation in a closed circuit. It is connected to the motor using screws 2.1 with the interposition of a frame 2.3 for quick
removal, connected to the exchanger with screws 2.2. The chloroprene rubber seals 2.4 supply a sufficient hold.
b.3 Air Filter

The internal air filter 3.0 is mounted on the entry of the pipe bundle in the internal ventilation circuit. It can be extracted, regenerated
and is self-extinguishing.
b.3.1 Filter extraction

Loosen nuts 3.1 and remove the cover of the filtering unit; extract the filter using the relevant extraction holes.
b.3.2 Regeneration of the filter cloth

The filter cloth 3.2 can be regenerated and does not require replacement if not only after a certain number of washes. The filter is
cleaned by using compressed air, beating or suction devices, or by rinsing in warm water up to 40°C wi th soap if required. In extreme
cases petrol can be used. Do not wring after washing. If the filter is washed it must be allowed to dry before re-mounting. When the
operation has been carried out re-introduce the filter into the casing and tighten the nuts 3.1 on the cover. The filter must be controlled
periodically, to prevent excessive load losses in the ventilation circuit if the pressure switch 5.5 (see point b.8) is calibrated incorrectly
or broken.
b.4 Cooling battery

The battery 4.0 is made up of a bundle realised with expanding aluminium pipes on longitudinal perforated plates. It is treated with
resins to ensure hold.
b.4.1 Cleaning the pipe bundle

Release the hook closure levers 8.0 that block the cooling circuit unit outside casing 2.0 and raise this unit to expose the pipe entry.
Clean the pipe bundle by blowing clean, dry compressed air (2-3 bar).
b.5 Internal circuit electric fan

The internal circulation of air in a closed circuit for cooling the direct current machine takes place using an electric fan, made up of a
three-phase asynchronous motor 5.2 and high-pressure rotor 5.3. After filtering the hot air returns into the cycle, cooling down during
passage through the pipe bundle. The correct direction of rotation of the fan is indicated by an arrow. It is important that the rotor is
kept clean, because the presence of dirt or deposits may cause unbalance, with consequent vibrations.
b.5.1 Cleaning of internal air circuit rotor

Loosen nuts 5.1 that block the electric fan unit to the casing 2.0 and slide the motor-rotor unit out of the casing. Clean the blades with a
jet of compressed air and if necessary, by brushing or washing. Re-mount the electric fan and tighten nuts 5.1.
b.6. External circuit electric fan

Environmental air is made to circulate inside the cooling battery pipes. Circulation of the air takes place by means of the electric fan 6.0
that sucks air from below upwards using the axial fan 6.3 activated by the three-phase asynchronous motor 6.2. The correct direction of
rotation of the fan is indicated by an arrow.
b.6.1 Cleaning of external air circuit rotor

To check the cleanliness of the rotor release the hook closure levers 8.0 that block the unit 2.0 to the casing, and lift it for access to the
fan. Clean with a jet of compressed air and if necessary, by brushing or washing. Re-mount by re-attaching the hook closure levers 8.0.
b.7 Air-air heat exchanger terminal box

The exchanger has a terminal box 7.0 for connection of all control devices and to power asynchronous motors.
b.8 Control equipment (see diagram in fig. 5)

The heat exchanger has two pressure switches 5.5 and 6.4 to signal the development of any faults (excessive drop in pressure) in the
internal or external air circuits. A thermostat 5.6 is also envisioned in the internal circuit, to signal any excessive temperature of the air
entering the machine. The pressure switch 5.5 and thermostat 5.6 are mounted inside the terminal box 7.0.
DANGER!
Before carrying out any maintenance operations, ensure that the electric machine and the heat
exchanger fans have been disconnected from the network.

b.10 Calibration of control equipment
-Internal air pressure switch:

The pressure switch is calibrated in our test room. In case of replacement or anomalous functioning of the pressure switch, refer to the
following instructions for calibration.
1) Position the control knob in proximity of the minimum calibration value.

2) Activate ventilation.
3) Turn the control knob slowly in a clockwise direction until commutation of the contact.
4) Turn the control knob again in an anti-clockwise direction by a few millimetres (≅ 0.2 - 0.3 mbar).
5) Disconnect ventilation and check, much earlier that the fan is at a complete standstill, and the contact returns to the rest
position.
-Internal air thermostat:

The internal air thermostat is calibrated in our test rooms. In case of replacement or anomalous functioning of the thermostat, follow the
instructions below for new calibration
1) Turn the relevant control knob in proximity of the environmental temperature.

2) Check commutation of the contact.
3) Turn the control knob again, setting it in proximity of the temperature of 45/55°C. If the machine is installed in a place with
different environmental temperature from –20°C ÷ +4 0°C consult SICMEMOTORI.
4) Check return of the contact to the rest position.

cases petrol can be used. Do not wring after washing. If the filter is washed it must be allowed to dry before re-mounting. Re-mount
and tighten the nuts 3.1. The filter must be controlled periodically, to prevent excessive load losses in the ventilation circuit
c.4 Cooling battery

The 4.0 battery is made up of a copper pipe bundle within a pack of thin aluminium sheet. Water passes through these pipes. The air
brushes against the thin aluminium sheet, which subtract heat and transmit it for conduction to the pipes. Attention to water features:
except for different agreements, the heat exchangers are envisioned for industrial or rural water, without suspended substances and
dimensioned for water entering at a maximum temperature of 26°C, with max. pressure of 7 bar. The pipe bundle ends with a
normalised flange 4.4 and 4.5 for attachment to the delivery pipes and discharge of water. Drainage tap 4.2 is mounted on the delivery
pipes. Tap 4.3 is mounted on the water return for relief.
c.4.1 Cleaning inside pipes

Close the slide valve (not supplied), positioned upstream from the delivery flange to interrupt the supply of water. Remove lid 4.2 on the
delivery pipe to remove all water completely from the battery. Remove lid 4.3 and then introduce a jet of compressed air into the copper
pipes to eliminate dirt and deposits. If necessary wash with de-scaling agents. Use suitable detergents periodically to reduce the
formation of deposits inside the pipes.
c.4.2 Cleaning the outside of the pipe bundle

Loosen screws 4.1 that block the battery to the casing. Slide the battery out of the casing and clean the pipe bundle with a jet of
pressurised air or by washing to eliminate and dust deposits. Re-mount the battery and tighten screws 4.1.
c.5 Electric fan

The electric fan 5.0 makes air circulate in the closed machine-exchanger circuit; it is made up of a three-phase asynchronous motor 5.2
and rotor 5.3. The correct direction of rotation is indicated by an arrow.
c. 5.1 Cleaning of the fan rotor

To check if the rotor is clean loosen screws 5.1 that block the electric fan unit to the casing and slide the motor/rotor unit out of the
casing. Deposits on the rotor may cause unbalancing, with consequent vibrations. Clean with a jet of pressurised air, by brushing or
washing. Re-mount the electric fan and tighten screws 5.1.
c.6 Air-water heat exchanger terminal box

The exchanger is supplied with a terminal box 6.0 for connection of all control equipment e and for the power supply of the
asynchronous motor.
DANGER!
Before carrying out any maintenance operation, ensure that any electric machine and its fan
are disconnected from the network.
Also ensure that the cooling water slide valves are closed.
