BCSD-34/116 Digital Brushless AC Servo Drive system - Ref. 1809
2.2. Servodrive
BCSD series servodrive is a base-mounted type. Incorrect installation will cause problems. Always observe
the installation instructions described below.
2.2.1. Storage
When the servodrive is not used, store it in the temperature between -20 ºC and 85 ºC with the power
cable disconnected.
2.2.2. Installation Sites
Notes on installation are shown below.
2.2.3. Installation Orientation
Install the servodrive perpendicular to the wall as shown in the figure. The servodrive must be oriented
this way because it is designed to be cooled by natural convection or a cooling fan if required. Firmly
secure the servodrive through two mounting holes.
Situation Notes on installation
When installed in a control
panel.
Design the control panel size, unit layout, and cooling method so that the temperature
around the periphery of the servodrive does not exceed 55 ºC.
When installed near a
heating unit.
Suppress radiation heat from the heating unit and a temperature rise caused by
convection so that the temperature around the periphery of the servodrive does not
exceed 55 ºC.
When installed near a
source of vibration.
Install a vibration isolator underneath the servodrive to prevent it from receving
vibration.
When installed in a location
subject to corrosive gases.
Take appropriate action to prevent corrosive gases. Corrosive gases do not
immediately affect the servodrive, but will eventually cause contactor-related devices
to malfunction.
Others.
Avoid installation in a hot and humid site or where excessive dust or iron powder is
present in the air.
