Cable and Motor Orientation
The servomotor can be installed horizontally or vertically with the shaft pointing down.
If the motor is positioned horizontally, rotate the motor so that the cables exit downward.
If the motor is mounted vertically, provide a cable trap to prevent oil or water from
flowing down the cable to the motor.
Prevention Against Fluids
The motor, as a single unit, satisfies the IEC standard for sealing against water as
indicated in the table below.
Table 6: Motor IP Rating
Motor Rating Conditions
P3 IP43
• Protected against solid objects (diameter 1 mm) and
splashing water.
P5 IP55
• Motor shaft seal installed, standard
• Cable with environmental connectors are connected
to motor, standard. The motor is not protected
when cables are not attached.
• Protected against dust – limited ingress (no harmful
deposit) and low pressure jets of water from all
directions – limited ingress permitted.
P2 & P6 IP67
• Motor shaft seal installed, standard
• Cable with environmental connectors are connected
to motor, standard. The motor is not protected
when cables are not attached.
• Protected against dust and effects of immersion.
Since the IEC standard is intended to check performance over a short period of time, the
following measures against fluids are required for actual usage.
Handle the system carefully to prevent damage to cable jackets, which may
deteriorate waterproofing.
Mount the motor with the connectors (lead outlet) pointing downward.
Install a cover, with a gradient, over the motor to prevent oil or water from splashing
directly on the motor.
