4. Installation
Common
DANGER
- Do not use a standard unit in an explosive atmosphere (which is likely to be filled with explosive gas or steam). Under
such conditions, an explosion proof motor should be used; otherwise, electric shock, personal injury, explosion fire, or
damage to the equipment may result.
- In the case of a
Explosion proof motor
, use a motor that has specifications that are appropriate for a dangerous location
(a location where gas or volatile vapor is present); otherwise explosion, ignition, electric shock, injury, fire, or equipment
damage may result.
- Since the inverter itself is not explosion proof,
when a flameproof motor is driven by an inverter
install an inverter in a place
free from explosive gas; otherwise, electric shock, personal injury, explosion fire, or damage to the equipment may result.
CAUTION
- Do not use the products for purposes other than those shown on the nameplate or in the manufacturing specifications;
otherwise, electric shock, personal injury, or damage to the equipment may result.
- Do not place flammable objects around the gearmotor; otherwise, fire may result.
- Do not place any object around the gearmotor or reducer that will hinder ventilation. Insufficient ventilation can cause
excessive heat build-up that may result in burns or fire.
- Do not step on or hang from the gearmotor or reducer; otherwise injury may result.
- Do not touch the shaft end of the gearmotor or reducer, inside keyways, or the edge of the motor cooling fan with
bare hands; otherwise, injury may result.
- When the unit is used in food processing applications, machines for cleanroom and so on, vulnerable to oil
contamination, install an oil pan or other such device to cope with oil leakage due to breakdown or failure; otherwise, oil
leakage may damage products.
- Always drain oil lubricated models before mounting, moving, and transporting. Moving with lubricating oil in the
machine may cause oil to escape from the air vent, etc.

-Mounting in conditions other than the above requires adherence to optional specifications. Please consult with us.
-Drives built to specifications, such as explosion proofing, can be used in the specified mounting environments. However, concerning
the connector to the machine used, implement measures based on the mounting environment.
-Mount in a location that enables easy operation, such as inspection and maintenance.
-Mount on a sufficiently rigid base.

(Except SK series)
Free
Machine types other than
the above
Slow speed shaft is horizontal or vertical (depends on nomenclature. See P5.
Please consult with us for inclined mounting).
Oil lubricated machines
Slow speed shaft is horizontal or vertical (depends on nomenclature. See P5.
Please consult with us for inclined mounting).
For machines built to a specified mounting angle, only use the specified mounting angle.
Do not remove the motor’s eye-bolt. In the rare case that it is removed, insert a bolt or other appropriate material into the screw
hole to prevent water or other substances from entering the motor through the screw hole.
