Recommendations on Installing TL-Series Motors
Observe the following recommendations when installing the motor.
1. Allow sufficient clearance around motor to keep it from exceeding its maximum
operating temperature range. Refer to Receiving and Storage on page 2 for the
operating range. Do not install the motor in an area with restricted airflow. Keep
other heat producing devices away from the motor.
To obtain the specified motor thermal rating, mount the motor on a surface
with heat dissipation equivalent to an aluminum heatsink of the following
dimensions:
!
ATTENTION
TL-Series motors are not for direct connection to an AC power
line.
Servo motors are designed for connection to a servo drive that
controls the application of AC power. Failure to observe these
safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and
equipment.

ATTENTION
Outer surfaces of motor can reach high temperatures, 125° C
(257° F) during motor operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with hot
surfaces. Locate the motor and route cable connections to avoid
contact with hot surfaces.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in
personal injury or damage to equipment.
