However, to allow 5.2 Bearings evaluation of the vibration generated by the electrical machine itself in a way to allow reproducibility of the tests and W22 motors are supplied with deep groove ball bearings as the obtaining of comparative measurements, it is necessary standard (figure 23). Optionally, for frame sizes 160 and to perform such measurements with the machine uncoupled, above, NU series roller bearings can be fitted to motors under controlled test conditions. The test conditions and intended for heavy duty applications where high radial loads vibration limits described here are those found in IEC 60034-14. may occur e.g. pulley and belt drives. The severity of vibration is the maximum value of vibration found among all the recommended measurement points and directions. Table 7, below, indicates the recommended admissible values of vibration severity under IEC standard 60034-14 for the frames IEC 56 to 400, for degrees of vibration A and B. W22 motors (> frame 80, 2P and > frame 71, 4P and up) are dynamically balanced with half key and the standard version meets the vibration levels of Grade A (without special vibration requirements) described in IEC 60034-14 Standard.

The radial force value Fr usually results from information recommended in the catalogues of pulley / belt manufacturers. When this information is not available, the force Fr, under operation, can be calculated based on the output power, on Fr coupling design characteristics with pulleys and belts and on the type of application. So we have: Fa 19,1 x 106 x Pn Fr = x ka (N) nn x dp L/2 Where: L Fr is the radial force caused by pulley and belt coupling [N]; Figure 24 - Radial and axial thrust on motor shaft Pn is the motor rated power [kW]; nn is the motor rated speed per minute [rpm]; 5.2.1 Permissible Loads dp is the pitch diameter of the drive pulley [mm]; ka is a factor that depends on belt tension and type of Radial Thrust - Ball Bearings application (table 8).
