1.2.2 Installing the Servomotor
Servomotors can be installed either horizontally or vertically. If, however, the Servomotor is
installed incorrectly or in an inappropriate location, the service life will be shortened or unex-
pected problems will occur. To prevent this, always follow the installation instructions de-
scribed below and install properly.
Before Installation
The edge of the motor shaft has an anticorrosive coating. Carefully and thoroughly clean
off the anti-corrosive coating using a cloth moistened with thinner before installing the
motor. Make sure that the thinner is completely wiped off.
Anticorrosive coating
Note Do not get thinner on any other parts of the Servomotor when cleaning the shaft.
Storage Temperature
When the Servomotor is to be stored with the power cable disconnected, store it within
the following temperature range.
Between −20 and 60 °C
Installation Site
The Servomotors are designed for indoor use.
Install the Servomotor in an environment which meets the following conditions:
• Free from corrosive and explosive gases
• Well-ventilated and free from dust and moisture
• Ambient temperature of 0 °C to 40 °C
• Relative humidity of 20% to 80% (with no condensation)
• Inspection and cleaning can be performed easily
If the Servomotor is used in a location subject to water or oil mist, install a shield cover
over the Servomotor to prevent water or oil mist from entering the Servomotor.
