3. Properly mount and align the motor.
A. Secure the motor to the machine mounting frame. Refer to:
• Mounting Dimensions beginning on page 10 for the bolt hole
pattern of your motor.
• Housing and Output Flange Connections beginning on page 22
for the torque values for connections.
B. Move the output flange so the motor feedback device aligns at its
electronic zero position. Encoder absolute position = 0 occurs when
the dowel pin hole is aligned on the connector side of the motor
and centered on the connectors. Refer to Figure 1 on page 11 for a
visual reference of this alignment.
C. Connect the output flange to the machine’s drive assembly.
Mechanical connections to the motor flange must be rigid, secure,
and properly aligned. Refer to:
• Mounting Dimensions beginning on page 10 for the bolt hole
pattern of your motor.
• Housing and Output Flange Connections beginning on page 22
for the torque values for connections.
• Motor Load Force Ratings beginning on page 23 for guidelines to
achieve 20,000 hours of motor bearing life.
4. Apply a high-temperature, medium-strength threadlock adhesive to the
mounting bolts.
IMPORTANT
Proper alignment and loading of the motor are critical to
achieving reliable operation throughout the lifetime of
the motor.
When mounting the MP-Series Integrated Gear Motor,
ensure that the connections are properly aligned and
that axial and radial loads are within the specifications of
the motor.
