Guidelines for Installing
Your Motor Observe the following for installing your motor:
•
Allow sufficient clearance in the area of the motor for it to stay
within its specified operating temperature as well as protected
from direct splash or spray of cutting fluids or lubricating oils.
Refer to Before Mounting Your Motor for additional information.
•
Refer to Using Belted Drives and Coupled Drives to determine
proper installation in regard to using belted and coupled drives.
•
Mount your motor on a rigid, solid base, or foundation. Poor base
construction may cause resonances in the motor/base assembly,
which can result in bearing failure and other motor damage. Use
the correct grade of hold down bolts for the type of mounting.
Refer to Specifications for recommended bolt torque values.
•
Determine that you have properly constructed cables available for
your application. Refer to the 8720MC High Performance Drive
Installation Manual (publication 8720MC-IN001x-EN-P) for
information regarding cable construction.
