Installation Conditions
This section describes the installation conditions for the Servo Drive and Linear Motor.
Install the Servo Drives according to the dimensions shown in the following illustration to ensure proper
dispersion of heat from inside the drives and convection inside the panel. If the drives are installed side
by side, install a fan for air circulation to prevent uneven temperatures inside the panel.
•
Drives of 100 V or 200 V with a capacity of 750 W max. can be installed side by side with a 1-mm
clearance (W in above illustration).
To provide electrical continuity, remove any paint from the surface on which you are installing G5-series
Servo Drives.
Also, it is recommended that you apply conductive plating if you are making the mounting bracket
yourself.
Mount the drive perpendicular on the panel so that the model number reads normally.
The environment in which drives are operated must meet the following conditions. Drives may
malfunction if operated under any other conditions.
•
Operating ambient temperature: 0 to 55°C (Take into account the following temperature rises in the
individual drives themselves.)
•
Operating ambient humidity: 20% to 85% max. (with no condensation)
•
Operating ambient atmosphere: No corrosive gases.
•
Altitude: 1,000 m max.
