  • Page 12: Installing The Motor

    5 Installation 5.2 Installing the motor !" Installation direction The motor can be installed in any direction. !" Installation method Install the motor onto an appropriate flat metal plate having excellent vibration resistance and heat conductivity. When installing the motor, secure it with four bolts (not supplied) through the four mounting holes provided.
  • Page 13: Installing A Load

    5 Installation 5.3 Installing a load When connecting a load to the motor, align the centers of the motor’s output shaft and load shaft. Also, keep the overhang load and thrust load under the permissible values. !" Using a coupling Align the centers of the motor’s output shaft and load shaft in a straight line.
  • Page 14: Permissible Overhung Load And Permissible Thrust Load

    5 Installation 5.4 Permissible overhung load and permissible thrust load The overhung load and the thrust load on the motor’s output shaft must be kept under the permissible values listed below. Failure due to fatigue may occur when the motor bearings and output Note shaft are subject to repeated loading by an overhung or thrust load that is in excess of the permissible limit.
  • Page 15 5 Installation !" Installation method Install the driver on a flat metal plate having excellent vibration resistance and heat conductivity. If the driver’s input power-supply voltage is 48 V or below, the driver can be installed onto a DIN rail using an optional DIN rail mounting plate (sold separately). If vibration is noticeable, however, do not install the driver onto a DIN rail, but install it directly onto a metal plate using the mounting holes provided in the driver.
  • Page 16 5 Installation !" Mounting to DIN rail Use a DIN rail 35 mm (1.38 in.) wide to mount the driver. If the driver’s input power-supply voltage exceeds 48 V, do not install the Note driver onto a DIN rail. Sufficient heat dissipation cannot be achieved and the driver’s overheat protection function may be triggered as a result.
  • Page 17 5 Installation Secure the driver with end plate.
