6 Installation
This chapter explains the installation location and installation methods of the motor and driver, as well as how to
install a load and external potentiometer. Also covered in this section are the installation and wiring methods that are
in compliance with the relevant EMC Directive.
6.1 Installation location
The motor and driver are designed and manufactured for use as internal components of equipment.
Install the motor and driver in a well-ventilated place where they can be inspected easily and the following conditions
are satised:
•
Inside an enclosure installed indoors (provide a
ventilation hole)
•
Ambient temperature: 0 to +50 °C
(+32 to +122 °F) (non-freezing)
•
Ambient humidity: 85% or less (non-condensing)
•
Area not exposed to direct sun
•
Area free of excessive amount of dust, iron
particles or the like
•
Area free of excessive salt
•
Area that is free of explosive atmosphere or toxic gas
(such as sulfuric gas) or liquid
•
Area not subject to splashing water (rain, water droplets),
oil (oil droplets) or other liquids
•
Area not subject to continuous vibration or excessive
shocks
•
Area free of excessive electromagnetic noise (from
welders, power machinery, etc.)
•
Area free of radioactive materials, magnetic elds or
vacuum
6.2 Installation overview
This section explains an overview of how to install the motor and driver. Refer to each applicable section for details.
Installing the combination parallel shaft gearhead or round shaft type
Install the hexagonal socket head screw in the four mounting holes you
drilled and tighten the nuts until no gaps remain between the motor and
mounting plate.
The combination type parallel shaft gearheads come with a set of hexagonal
socket head screws. Round shaft types do not come with hexagonal socket
head screws. Hexagonal socket head screws must be provided by the
customer if a round shaft type is used.
Refer to p.13 for the machining dimensions of the mounting plate and how to
install/remove the gearhead.

The gures in the table apply when the supplied hexagonal socket head screw
set is used.
Installing the combination type hollow shaft at gearhead
A combination type hollow shaft at gearhead can be installed by using
either its front or rear side as the mounting surface. Install the supplied
hexagonal socket head screw set in the four mounting holes you drilled and
tighten the nuts until no gaps remain between the motor and mounting plate.
Also, attach the supplied safety cover to the hollow output shaft on the end
opposite from the one where the load shaft is installed.
Refer to p.14 for the installation method and how to install/remove the
gearhead.
