To Prolong Motor Life
Proper design and maintenance can increase the life of a servo motor. Follow these guidelines to
maximize the life of a servo motor within your environment:
•
Always provide a drip loop in each cable to carry liquids away from the connection to the
motor.
•
If possible, provide shields that protect the motor housing, shaft seals, and their
junctions from contamination by foreign matter or fluids.
ATTENTION: Do not attempt to open or modify this motor beyond changing the connector orientation as
described on
