The Harmonic Drive® products are intended for industrial or commercial applications. They comply with the relevant parts of
the harmonised EN 60034 standards series.
Typical areas of application are robotics and handling, machine tools, packaging and food machines and similar machines.
The products may only be operated within the operating ranges and environmental conditions shown in the documentation
(altitude, degree of predection, temperature range etc).
Before plant and machinery which have Harmonic Drive® products built into them are commissioned, the compliance must be
established with the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive and EMC guidelines.
Plant and machinery with inverter driven motors must satisfy the predection requirements in the EMC guidelines. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that installation is undertaken correctly.
Signal and power lines must be shielded. The EMC instructions from the inverter manufacturer must be observed in order
that installation meets the EMC regulations.
