Water proof/Dust proof type
Note) IP65 is not available for underwater or high water pressured condition.
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, fire, explosion, or damage to the equipment may
result.
4. Installation
CAUTION
Do not use the cyclo gearmotor for purposes other than those shown on the rating plate 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; that will hinder ventilation; otherwise,
excessive heat may build-up and cause burns or even fire.
Do not step on or hang from the gearmotor; otherwise injury may result.
Do not touch the shaft end of the gearmotor, 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 vulnerable to oil contamination,
install an oil pan or other such device to cope with oil leakage due to failure or breakdown;
otherwise, oil leakage may damage products.
4–1) Installation Location
Ambient temperature: -10°C to +40°C
Ambient humidity: 85% max.
Altitude: 1000 m max.
Ambient atmosphere: There should be no corrosive gas, explosive gas, or steam.
The location should be well ventilated without dust.
Installation location: Indoors, with minimal dust and no water contact.
IP65: The IP indication that represents dust-proofing and water-proofing grades is prescribed
by IEC529 and IEC34-5. "6" of IP65 represents a "perfect dust-proofing structure" that
is the highest-grade protection from contact or entry of solids, while "5" represents
protection from water, ensuring protection from water jets in all directions.
The motor has a structure that permits motor operation without any trouble even if it is
exposed to water jets in all directions from a nozzle.
Test conditions: A nozzle of 6.3 mm in I.D. is placed at a distance of 3 m from the test piece
and water jetted out of the nozzle under pressure of 30 kPa at the flow rate
of 12.5 l/min is directed at the test piece in all directions for three minutes.
After that, there should be no abnormality. The motor cannot be used
underwater or in places exposed to high-pressure water jets.
