YASKAWA SGM Series Safety Precautions page 21

• Wire the Servomotor so that force is not applied to the cables and connectors.
• An absolute encoder has a magnetic sensor attached to it. Do not install
equipment that exerts a strong magnetic force near the Servomotor (i.e., a
magnetic force of 0.01 tesla or 100 gauss or higher when measured at the
encoder cover).
Protective Structure of Servomotors
The protection class of a Servomotor depends on the model and option specifi-
cations of the Servomotor.
Confirm the protection class of your Servomotor in the Servomotor manual or
catalog, or on Yaskawa's product and technical information website (http://
www.emechatronics.com/).
Observe the following precautions in reference to the protective structure (pro-
tection class).
• The protection class indicates the degree of protection against the entry of
water.
• If you use oils, coolants, or other liquids with high permeability, protect the
Servomotor with a cover or other device so that the liquid does not come into
direct contact with the Servomotor.
• The protective structure of the Servomotor does not apply to the shaft open-
ing. Also, you must use the specified connectors for the Servomotor.
