Motor Installation
(1) Direction of Motor Installation
Motors may be installed either horizontally or vertically.
■
Horizontal mounting
■
Vertical mounting
(2) Connecting to Other Equipment (Loads)
When connecting motors to another piece of equipment (load), the motor shaft must be centered. When not properly centered,
vibration will result and ball bearing life will be shortened dramatically, causing motor shaft damage.
The alignment of the coupling used, must be within its specification.
Note When attaching couplings, timing pulleys, gears or the like to a motor shaft, be sure not to subject the motor
shaft to impacts. The ball bearings within the motor may become damaged.
