Mount the Kinetix 5500 Drive
Follow these steps to mount the drive in single-axis configurations.
1. Observe these clearance requirements when mounting a single drive to the panel:
• Additional clearance is required for cables and wires connected to the top of the
drive.
• Additional clearance left and right of the drive is required when mounted adjacent to
noise sensitive equipment or clean wire ways.
• The recommended minimum cabinet depth is 300 mm (11.81 in.).
In multi-axis shared-bus configurations, drives must be spaced by aligning the zero-stack
tab and cutout. For mounting, sizing, and configuring shared-bus configurations, refer to
the Kinetix 5500 Servo Drives User Manual, publication 2198-UM001
.
2. Mount the Kinetix 5500 drive to the cabinet subpanel with M4 (#8-32) steel machine
screws torqued to 2.0 N•m (17.7 lb•in), max.
IMPORTANT
Mount the drive in an upright position as shown. Do not mount the drive on its side.
