■ How to Install
The following points must be followed for servo motor installation.
● Mounting direction
Servo motor can be installed both in horizontal and vertical direction.
• For installation with upward shaft end, cable trap must be designed to prevent oil and water from entering servo
motor.
• For installation with downward shaft end, be sure to take measures to prevent oil or water from entering servo motor
from the shaft connecting part.
● Installation regulation
When servo motor is covered by device frame or a heating unit is installed around servo motor, the following
measures must be taken.
• To lower the load ratio.
• To check the heat dissipation condition of servo motor.
• To perform forced cooling for servo motor by installing cooling fan.
• Use condition for SV-005/010/020/040/075.
Ratings of servo motor (rated output, rated torque, rated rotation speed) refer to the continuous permissible values
under the condition that heat sink is mounted and ambient temperature is 40°C.
Sufficient heat dissipation area must be ensured to prevent the temperature of servo motor from rising when servo
motor is installed on a small device. Heat sink must be installed or derating must be considered when temperature
rise needs to be controlled within a suitable range.
The relationship between heat sink and derating is shown as follows.
• Use condition for SV-100A/150A/200A/300A/500A
