4 HPK-Series Asynchronous Servo Motors

Publication HPK-IN001C-EN-P - June 2010

Before You Begin

Before unpacking the product, inspect the shipping carton for damage. If damage is visible,
immediately contact the shipper and request assistance. Otherwise, proceed with unpacking.

Remove the motor carefully from its shipping container, and visually inspect the motor for any
damage. Carefully examine the motor frame, front output shaft, and mounting pilot for any
defects.

Motors are shipped with wooden blocking to prevent axial movement of the shaft during
shipment. Remove the blocking and bolts securing it and verify that the motor shaft turns freely.
If motor is to be shipped or placed in long-term storage, blocking of the bearing is recommended.

Keep the original packing material in case you need to return the product for repair or to
transport it to another location. Use both the inner and outer packing cartons to provide
adequate protection for a unit returned for service.

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines

The guidelines in this section provide you with information about installing servo motor so it
provides safe and reliable service.

Handling

Exercise care when lifting the motor. Always lift in the direction intended in the design of the
lifting mechanism, and lift using all of the eyebolts or lifting lugs provided.

The angle of lift formed by a lifting rope or chain must be greater than 45 degrees from
horizontal. Diagrams are provided that show proper rigging and lift practices.

ATTENTION: Do not attempt to open and modify the motor. Modifications that
can be performed in the field are described in this manual; other changes
should not be attempted.

Only a qualified Allen-Bradley employee can service this type of motor.

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

ATTENTION: Eyebolts or lifting lugs are intended for lifting only the motor and
factory mounted accessories.

Do not mount additional equipment before lifting and securing the motor.

Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
