TL-Series Servo Motor Installation Instructions 9

Publication TL-IN001C-EN-P — March 2005

• Ground all equipment using a single-point parallel ground system that employs

ground bus bars or large straps. If necessary, use additional electrical noise
reduction techniques to reduce EMI in noisy environments.

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.

An IP65 rating for the motor, exclusive of flying leads, requires the use of shaft
seals.

Refer to Environmental Ratings on page 2 for brief descriptions of IP ratings.
Refer to Shaft Seal Kits on page 21 or the Motion Control Selection Guide

(publication GMC-SG001x-EN-P) to find the catalog numbers of seal kits
available for your motor.

Installing the TL-Series Motor

All TL-Series motors include a mounting pilot for aligning the motor on a
machine. Preferred fasteners are stainless steel. The installation must comply with
all local regulations and use of equipment and installation practices that promote
electromagnetic compatibility and safety.

!

ATTENTION

Unmounted motors, disconnected mechanical couplings, loose
shaft keys, and disconnected cables are dangerous if power is
applied.

Disassembled equipment should be appropriately identified
(tagged-out) and access to electrical power restricted
(locked-out).

Before applying power to the motor, remove the shaft key and
other mechanical couplings which could be thrown from the
shaft.

Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in
personal injury.
