TL-Series Servo Motor Installation Instructions 5 Before You Install the Motor 1. Remove the motor carefully from its shipping container. 2. Visually inspect the motor for any damage. 3. Examine the motor frame, front output shaft, and mounting pilot for any defects. 4. Notify the carrier of any shipping damage immediately. ATTENTION ! Do not attempt to open and modify the motor. Modifications that can be performed in the field are described in this manual, other changes should not be attempted.
TL-Series Servo Motor Installation Instructions Prolonging Motor Life Thoughtful design and proper maintenance can increase the life of a servo motor. The following are guidelines to maximize the life of a servo motor. • Always provide a drip loop in each cable to carry liquids away from connections. • If design requirements permit, provide shields that protect the motor housing, shaft seals, and their junctions from product contamination and fluids.
TL-Series Servo Motor Installation Instructions 7 Making Mechanical Connection to the Motor Shaft Mechanical connections to the motor shaft, such as couplings and pulleys, require a torsionally rigid coupling or a reinforced timing belt. The high dynamic performance of servo motors can cause couplings, pulleys or belts to loosen or slip over time. A loose or slipping connection will cause system instability and may damage the motor shaft.
TL-Series Servo Motor Installation Instructions Installing Cables Knowledgeable cable routing improves system electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). To install the cables: 1. Keep wire lengths as short as physically possible. 2. Route signal cables (encoder, serial, analog, etc.) away from motor and power wiring. 3. Separate cables by 0.3 m (1 ft) minimum for every 9 m (30 ft) of parallel run. 4.
TL-Series Servo Motor Installation Instructions 9 • Ground all equipment using a single-point parallel ground system that employs ground bus bars or large straps. If necessary, use additional electrical noise reduction techniques to reduce EMI in noisy environments. Using Shaft Seals An additional seal is required on the motor shaft near the motor front bearing, if the shaft is exposed to fluids or significant amounts of fine dust.
TL-Series Servo Motor Installation Instructions Recommendations on Installing TL-Series Motors Observe the following recommendations when installing the motor. ATTENTION TL-Series motors are not for direct connection to an AC power line. ! Servo motors are designed for connection to a servo drive that controls the application of AC power. Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in damage to the motor and equipment. 1.

TL-Series Servo Motor Installation Instructions Removing and Installing a Shaft Key TL shaft keys are constructed of carbon steel. Keys for metric mount motors are toleranced for interference fit (slightly larger than the opening) to ensure a secure and rigid fit for the mating connection. Keys for NEMA mount motors are toleranced for a slightly loose (slip) fit.
TL-Series Servo Motor Installation Instructions 21 Accessories Factory available accessories for the TL motors are described below. Motor Cables Factory manufactured feedback, brake, and power cables are available in standard cable lengths. Transition cables are available to allow connection of a TL-Series motor to existing N-Series or Y-Series power, feedback, and brake cables. Factory cables provide proper shield termination which reduces the potential for EMI.
