Connecting the Kinetix 5500 Drive System
Apply the Motor Power/brake Shield Clamp
The power/brake cable shield attaches to the drive cable clamp. A clamp spacer is
included with the kit for cable diameters that are too small for a tight fit within
the drive clamp alone.
•
Routing the conductors with service loops provides stress relief to the
motor power and brake conductors.
•
Make sure the cable clamp tightens around the cable shield and provides a
good bond between the cable shield and the drive chassis.

IMPORTANT
If the power/brake cable shield has a loose fit inside the shield clamp, insert
the clamp spacer between the shield clamp and the drive to reduce the
clamp diameter. When the clamp screws are tight, 2.0 N•m (17.7 lb•in), the
result must be a high-frequency bond between the cable shield and the
drive chassis.
