It is recommended to set the connector section downward if the rotary servo motor is mounted horizontally. Examine the cable
clamping method, and give a gentle slack to the connection cable, to prevent excessive load from being applied to the
connector and cable connection part.
Rotary servo motor with an electromagnetic brake
The rotary servo motor with an electromagnetic brake can also be mounted in the same directions as the one without an
electromagnetic brake. When the servo motor with an electromagnetic brake is mounted with the shaft end upward, the brake
plate may generate sliding sound but it is not a fault.
Geared servo motor
The installing direction of the geared servo motor varies depending on the type of the gear reducer. Be sure to install the
geared servo motor in the specified direction. For details, refer to chapters 6 and 7.
