Publication RDB-IN002A-EN-P — October 2009
Install the Motor
All motors include a mounting pilot for aligning the motor on the machine.
Preferred fasteners are hardened steel. The installation must comply with all local
regulations and use equipment and installation practices that promote safety and
electromagnetic compatibility.
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
that could be thrown from the shaft.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in personal injury.
ATTENTION
Servo drive power must be turned off before connecting or disconnecting the cables to the
motor, and if a cable is left disconnected at the motor end.
Arcing or unexpected motion could occur if the feedback, power, or brake cables are
connected or disconnected while power is applied to the servo drive.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury or damage to the
motor and equipment.
ATTENTION
Do not attempt to open or modify this motor.
