10 MP-Series Low-inertia Servo Motor with 100 mm to 165 mm Frame Size
Mount the Motor
Follow these steps to mount the motor.
ATTENTION: Damage can occur to the motor bearings and the feedback device if sharp impact to
the shaft is applied during installation of couplings and pulleys.
Do not strike the shaft, couplings, or pulleys with tools during installation or removal.
1. Provide sufficient clearance, heatsink mass, and airflow for the motor so it stays within
the operating temperature range of 0...40 °C (32...104 °F).
Do not enclose the motor unless forced air is blown across the motor for cooling. Keep
other heat producing devices away from the motor. Heatsink requirements are listed in a
footnote to the
2. Verify the axial and radial shaft loads of your application do not exceed those listed in
the Motor Load Force Ratings on page
3. Place the motor with the connector housing pointing downward.
4. Mount and align the motor.
Electronic zero (index pulse or Stegmann ABS = 0) occurs when the shaft key or dimple
is aligned with the connectors.

ATTENTION: Outer surfaces of the motor can reach high temperatures of 125 °C (257 °F)
during operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces. Consider motor surface
temperature when selecting motor mating connections and cables.
