1. Allow sufficient clearances in the area of the motor for it to stay within its specified
operating temperature range.
Do not install the motor in an area with restricted airflow. Keep other heat producing
devices away from the motor.
Obtain the specified motor thermal rating by mounting the motor on a surface with heat
dissipation equivalent to a 304.8 x 304.8 x 12.7 mm (12 x 12 x 0.5 in.) aluminum
heatsink.
Refer to
Environmental Specifications on page 17
for the operating range.
2. Determine the radial and axial shaft load limitations of your motor by referring to
3. Position the motor with the cable connections beneath the motor.
Refer to
Create a Drip Loop on page 5
for a visual reference of correct motor and cable
positioning.
4. Properly mount and align the motor.
The index pulse occurs on the encoder when the shaft key is aligned with the connector.
Refer to
for a visual reference of this alignment.
5. Attach the single motor cable that transmits the power and digital encoder signals as
described below.
a. Carefully align the cable connector with the motor cable connector.
b. Align the flat surface on the top of the motor cable connector with the flat surfaces
on the cable connector.
c. Hand-tighten the knurled collar one-quarter turn to fully seat the cable connector.
d. Verify that the cable is properly shielded.
.
e. Form a drip loop in the cable to carry liquids away from the connector. See
Create a
Drip Loop on page 5
.
BURN HAZARD: Outer surfaces of the motor can reach high temperatures, 125 °C (275 °F), during
motor operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces. Consider motor surface
temperature when selecting motor mating connections and cables.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: Verify proper alignment and then hand-tighten the keyed connector.
Do not use tools, or apply excessive force, when mating the cable to the motor connector. If the
connectors do not go together with light hand force, realign and try again.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and cable, and their
components.
