2.2 Servo Motor Installation

2.2.1 Installation conditions

Installation conditions may affect the lifespan of a motor

Please keep away from corrosive fluid and combustibles.

If dusty working environment is unavoidable, please use motors with oil seal.

Please keep away from heat source.

If motor is used in enclosed environment without heat dissipation, motor lifespan will
be short.

Please check and clean the installation spot before installation.

2.2.2 Precautions during installation

Installation method
Install horizontal to ground
Make sure power cable and encoder cable is facing downwards to make sure fluid doesn't
leak into the ports.
Install vertical to ground
Please use a motor with oil seal when paired with a reducer to prevent reducer oil from
leaking into the motor.
Oil- and waterproofing

Do not submerge motor/cable under oil/water

Please use a motor with oil seal when paired with a reducer to prevent reducer oil
from leaking into the motor.

If there is an unavoidable fluid leakage near the motor, please use motor with better
IP ratings.

Make sure power cable and encoder cable is facing downwards to make sure fluid
doesn't leak into the ports.

Avoid the usage of motor in water/oil leaking prone environment.
Cable under stress

Do not the bend the cable especially at each ends of the connectors.

Make sure to not let the cables be too tight and under tremendous stress especially
thinner cables such as signal cables.
Connectors

Please to remove any conductive foreign objects from the connectors before
installation

The connectors are made of resin. May not withstand impact.

Please hold the driver during transportation, not the cables.

Leave enough "bend" on the connector cables to ensure less stress upon installation.
