6 MP-Series Integrated Gear Motor Installation Instructions
Publication MP-IN003C-EN-P — April 2003
Guidelines for Installation
Observe the following guidelines when installing the motor.
1. Allow sufficient clearances in the area of the motor for it to stay within
its specified operating temperature range 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F).
Do not enclose the motor unless forced air is blown across the motor
for cooling. A fan blowing air across the motor will improve its
performance. Keep other heat producing devices away from the motor.
2. Always position the motor with the connector housing pointing
downward.
Note: Gearbox input and output rotations are in identical directions.
ATTENTION
!
Damage may occur to the motor bearings, gearing, and
the feedback device if sharp impact to the shaft is
applied during installation or removal of the motor.
Do not strike the MP gear motor with tools during
installation or removal.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in
damage to the motor and its components.
ATTENTION
!
Outer surfaces of motor can reach high temperatures,
125° C (275° F), during motor operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with hot
surfaces. Consider motor surface temperature when
selecting motor mating connections and cables.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in
personal injury or damage to equipment.
