Before You Install the Motor
Before installing or storing the motor:
1. Remove the motor carefully from its shipping container.
2. Visually inspect the motor for any damage.
3. Examine the motor frame, front output shaft, and mounting pilot for
any defects.
4. Notify the carrier of any shipping damage immediately.
Using Shaft Seals
An additional seal is required on the motor shaft near the motor front
bearing, if the shaft is exposed to fluids or significant amounts of fine
dust. This includes lubricating oil from a gearbox. The motor ingress
protection (IP) rating depends on the usage of shaft seals and
environmentally sealed connectors/cables. The additional seal is not
recommended in applications where the motor shaft area is free of liquids
or fine dust. Refer to Shaft Seal Kits on page 14 to find the catalog number
of the seal kit for your F-Series motor.
Using Couplings and Pulleys
Mechanical connections to the motor shaft, such as couplings and pulleys,
require a torsionally rigid coupling or a reinforced timing belt. The high
dynamic performance of servo motors can cause couplings, pulleys or
belts to loosen or slip over time. A loose or slipping connection will cause
ATTENTION
!
Do not open or attempt to open the motor.
Only a qualified Allen-Bradley employee can
service this type of motor.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
