Precautions for use

• When conducting the insulation resistance measurement or the
dielectric strength test, be sure to separate the connection between the
motor and the driver.
Conducting the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the
motor and driver connected may result in damage to the product.
• Do not apply a radial load and axial load in excess of the specified
permissible limit
Continuing to operate the motor under a radial load or axial load exceeding the
permissible value may cause damage the bearings (ball bearings) of the motor. Be sure
to operate the motor within the specified permissible value of radial load and axial load.
• Motor surface temperature
The surface temperature on the motor case may exceed 100 °C (212 °F) depending on
operating conditions such as ambient temperature, operating speed, duty cycle and
others. To prevent the bearings (ball bearings) of the motor from reaching its usable
life quickly, use the motor in conditions where the motor surface temperature dose not
exceed 100 °C (212 °F).
• Holding torque at standstill
The motor holding torque is reduced by the current cutback function of the driver at
motor standstill. When selecting the motor, take account of the motor torque drop at the
time of stopping.
y Do not use the product beyond its specifications.
Doing so may result in injury or damage to equipment.
y Keep your fingers and objects out of the openings in the product.
Failure to do so may result in fire or injury.
y Do not touch the product during operation or immediately after
stopping.
The surface is hot, and this may cause a skin burn(s).
y Do not carry the motor by holding the motor output shaft, lead wire or
cable.
Doing so may result in injury.
y Keep the area around the product free of combustible materials.
Failure to do so may result in fire or a skin burn(s).
y Leave nothing around the product that would obstruct ventilation.
Failure to do so may result in damage to equipment.
y Do not touch the rotating part (output shaft) while operating the motor.
Doing so may result in injury.
y Provide a cover over the rotating part (output shaft) of the motor.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
y Use a motor and driver only in the specified combination.
Failure to do so may result in fire.
y Provide an emergency stop device or emergency stop circuit external
to the equipment so that the entire equipment will operate safely in the
event of a system failure or malfunction.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
y When an abnormal condition has occurred, immediately stop operation
to turn off the driver power.
Failure to do so may result in fire or injury.
y The motor surface temperature may exceed 70 °C (158 °F)
even under normal operating conditions. If the operator is
allowed to approach the motor in operation, affix a warning
label shown in the figure on a conspicuous position.
Failure to do so may result in a skin burn(s).
