Mount the Motor
Follow these steps to mount the motor.
1. Provide sufficient clearance, heatsink mass, and air flow for the motor so it stays within
the operating temperature range of 0…40 °C (32…104 °F).
Do not enclose the motor unless cooling air is forced across the motor and keep other
heat producing devices away from the motor. Heatsink requirements are listed in a
footnote to the
Specifications on page 22 table.
2. Verify the axial and radial shaft loads of your application do not exceed those listed in the
Motor Load Force Ratings on page 15 .
3. Position the motor on the machine with its connectors pointing downward.
4. Insert and hand-tighten stainless steel fasteners in each of the four mounting holes in the
motor faceplate.
The mounting hole diameter is specified in the Product Dimensions on page 13 table.
5. Align the motor on the machine by using the mounting pilot hole to verify the correct
alignment.
6. Tighten the stainless steel fasteners within the recommended torque range.
7. Rotate the shaft for electrical phasing and encoder alignment.
The index pulse occurs on a single-turn encoder when the shaft key is aligned with the
connectors. Refer to
Product Dimensions on page 13 for a visual reference of this
alignment.
ATTENTION: Damage can occur to the motor bearings and the feedback device if sharp impact to the shaft is
applied during installation of couplings and pulleys.
Do not strike the shaft, couplings, or pulleys with tools during installation or removal.
ATTENTION: Outer surfaces of the motor can reach high temperatures of 125 °C (275 °F) during
operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces. Consider motor surface
temperature when selecting connections and cables to install on a motor.
