The protection category is defined with the letters IP (International
Protection) and two digits for the protection category.
The first digit denotes the protection level against contact and
penetration of extrinsic objects
The second digit denotes the protection level against water.
First digit Degree of protection
6 Protection against penetration of dust (dustproof); complete
contact protection
Second digit Degree of protection
5 Protection against a jet of water from a nozzle that is aimed
from all directions against the housing (hoseproof)
Fig. 12-5: IP protection classes
Note: The second digit assumes the use of fresh water. If cleaning
procedures with high pressure and/or solvents, cooling
lubricants or creep oils are used, a higher protection class may
be required.
WARNING
Danger to personnel or damage to equipment!
Due to improper power and encoder connections,
persons may be endangered or the motor may be
damaged!
Þ Ensure that the power and encoder connections are
connected properly.
Þ Use the MKE motors only in environments for which
the provided protection class is sufficient.
