Spare parts 10.5 Groups of parts 10.3 Replacing rolling bearings Rolling bearings When ordering rolling bearings, in addition to the bearing identification code, the supplementary specifying code is also necessary for the bearing version. Both of these codes are stamped on the lubricant plate and specified in the motor documentation, or can also be taken from the installed bearings.
• For up to 3 years after the delivery of the original machine, in the event of total machine failure, Siemens will supply a comparable replacement machine with regard to the mounting dimensions and functions; it is possible that this will involve a new series.
