Precautions for use
•
When conducting the insulation resistance measurement or the
dielectric strength test, be sure to separate the connection between the
motor and the driver.
Conducting the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the
motor and driver connected may result in damage to the product.
•
Do not apply a radial load and axial load in excess of the specified
permissible limit
Operating the motor under an excessive radial load or axial load may damage the
bearings (ball bearings). Be sure to operate the motor within the specified permissible
limit of radial load and axial load.
•
Motor surface temperature
The motor surface temperature may exceed 100 °C (212 °F) under certain conditions
(operating ambient temperature, operating speed, duty cycle, etc.). To prevent the
bearings (ball bearings) from reaching its usable life quickly, use the motor in conditions
where the surface temperature does not exceed 100 °C (212 °F).
Use the geared motor in a condition where the gear case temperature does not exceed
70 °C (158 °F), in order to prevent deterioration of grease and parts in the gear case.
•
Rotation direction of output flange of Harmonic geared type
The output flange of the Harmonic geared type rotates in the opposite direction to the
rotation direction of the motor output shaft.
