Mechanical Installation
7.1
Important notes
l
Protect the servo amplifier from impermissible stresses. In particular, do not let any
components become bent or any insulation distances altered during transport and
handling. Avoid contact with electronic components and contacts.
l
Ensure that there is an adequate flow of cool, filtered air into the bottom of the control
cabinet, or use a heat exchanger. Please refer to page 21.
l
Take care that the servo amplifier and motor are properly grounded.
Do not use painted (i.e. non-conductive) mounting plates.
l
Don't mount devices, which produce magnetic fields, directly beside the servo ampli-
fier. Strong magnetic fields could directly affect internal components. Install devices
which produce magnetic field with distance to the servo amplifiers and/or shield the
magnetic fields.

Guide to mechanical installation
The following notes should help you to carry out the mechanical installation in a sensible
sequence, without overlooking anything important.
Site
In a closed control cabinet. Please refer to page 21.
The site must be free from conductive or corrosive materials.
For the mounting position in the cabinet
ð
Ventilation
Check that the ventilation of the servo amplifier is unimpeded, and
keep within the permitted ambient temperature
ð
p.21. Keep the re-
quired space clear above and below the servo amplifier
ð
Assembly
Assemble the servo amplifier and power supply close together, on the
conductive,
grounded
mounting plate in the cabinet.
Grounding
Shielding
For EMC-compliant shielding and grounding
ð
Ground the mounting plate, motor housing and CNC-GND of the
control system. Notes on connection techniques
