2.4 Safety precautions for using motors

The Delta AC servo motor is designed for industrial applications. It is necessary that you fully
2
understand the motor specifications and the content of the operation manual. For your safety
and correct use, read the manual, specifications, and precautions for the motor carefully before
connecting the motor to any equipment.
The safety precautions are as follows:
Handling, mounting, and storage
 When taking out or placing the servo motor, hold the whole motor instead of holding the
cable or only the motor shaft.
 Do not hit the motor shaft. Impact force will damage the shaft and the encoder that is
attached at the rear end of the shaft.
 Keep the axial or radial load on the shaft within the allowable range listed in the
specifications.
 The shaft of the servo motor is not water- or oil-proof. Do not use, install, or store the servo
motor in an environment that contains water, oily liquids, corrosive and inflammable gases,
or is with high humidity.
 The material of the motor shaft is not rustproof. Although rustproof oil has been applied to
the shaft during the manufacturing process, you must check the shaft condition every three
months and apply rustproof oil if storing the motor for more than six months.
 Ensure that the environmental conditions for storing the servo motor conform to the
specifications in the instruction sheet.
 The encoder attached to the motor is easily damaged; take the necessary measures to
avoid electromagnetic interference, vibration, and abnormal temperature changes.
 The magnetic field for placing or installing the motor should be below 10 mT.
