8.1.2
Installation Environment
Refer to the specifications for each type of Servomotor for the mechanical specifications, pro-
tective structure, and environmental conditions related to Servomotor installation.
8.1.3
Installation Orientation
You can install the Servomotor either horizontally or vertically.
8.1.4
Using Servomotors with Oil Seals
This section gives the operating conditions for using Servomotors with Oil Seals.
•
Keep the oil surface below the oil seal lip.
•
Use the oil seal in favorably lubricated condition with only splashing of oil.
•
Do not allow oil to collect in the oil seal lip.
•
Do not use the Servomotor where the oil seal would be below the oil surface. If you do, oil will
enter the Servomotor, which may damage the Servomotor.
