VEM three phase motors with squirrel-cage rotors are available in two type series that are both based on IEC 72 with regard to their designs and frame sizes. (See table of motor selection data for type coordination)

The K11R/K21R/K22R/WE1R/WE2R/W21R/W22R/WU1R/WU2R series is conceived as a classic IEC/DIN series, i.e. the fixing dimensions and correspondence of output as specified in DIN 42673/DIN 42677. The K10R/K20R/K25R series have arisen from a progressive coordination of output in comparison with these DIN standards. They offer output up to two stages higher with the same frame size. The type series K25R offers, compared with series K21R, increased output correlated to IEC/DIN mounting dimensions. The type series is avail-able in shaft heights 63 – 280. The variations derived from series with different output coordination can also be supplied as special versions.

Low-voltage three-phase motors are classified as capital goods. Questions of warranty are not specified in the regulation 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25th May 1999. This regulation defines details about guarantee of consumer goods.

Generally VEM supplies the product according to the technical specifications that were agreed by the customer and described in the order confirmation that was sent by VEM to the customer. The customer is obliged to consider the hints in the installation, operation and maintenance manual and to include them when setting the product up for operation and starting it. Only if the customer complies with these requirements VEM accepts a case of warranty. If the content of the manual is not observed, VEM will not accept warranty.

In principle VEM offers a warranty of 12 month after start of operation for its products, at most 18 months after delivery ex works. Basic requirement is the storage, intended use and start of operation.

On customer request it is possible to extend the warranty period to 24 months after start of operation, at most 36 months after delivery ex works. On customer request it is also possible to extend the warranty period to 24 months after start of operation; at most 36 months after delivery ex works (named 24/36 in the following text). This will mean an additional charge of 0.5 % of the merchandise value for each month. The extended warranty 24/36 is not valid for wear parts like radial shaft seals, bearings, grease for bearings. If the customer requests to include the mounted parts, brakes, separately driven fans, encoder, relubrication devices, gears or return stops, in the warranty, VEM will negotiate the conditions with the suppliers. Additional costs from the suppliers will be passed on to the customer.

Maximum warranty by VEM is 36 months after start of operation, max. 60 months after delivery ex works with a correponding additional charge of 0.5 % of the merchandise value for each month will be added. However no warranty will be accepted for wear parts also climate and corrosion protection according to the installation, operation and maintenance manual.

The calculation of the additional charge for extended warranty is based on the specification for delivery ex works.

Besides these basic warranty conditions it is possible to agree the warranty period within the above mentioned time limits for an individual project depending on the customer requirements.
