7Mechanical Installation

7.1 Important notes

lProtect the servo amplifier from impermissible stresses. In particular, do not let any
components become bent or any insulation distances altered during transport and handling.
Avoid contact with electronic components and contacts.
lEnsure that there is an adequate flow of cool, filtered air into the bottom of the switchgear cabi-
net or use heat exchangers. Observe page19 .
lTake care that the servo amplifier and motor are earthed (grounded) properly. Donot use
painted (non-conductive) mounting plates.
lDon'tmount devices, which produce magnetic fields, directly beside the servo amplifier. Strong
magnetic fields could directly affect internal components. Install devices which produce mag-
netic field with distance to the servo amplifiers and/or shield the magnetic fields.

7.2 Guide to mechanical installation

The following notes should assist you to carry out the mechanical installation in a sensible
sequence, without overlooking anything important.
Site
In a closed switchgear cabinet. Observe page19 .
The site must be free from conductive or corrosive materials.
For the mounting position in the cabinetðp. 36
Ventilation
Check that the ventilation of the servo amplifier is unimpeded
and keep within the permitted ambient temperatureðp. 19 .
Keep the required space clear above and below the servo amplifierðp36.
Assembly Assemble the servo amplifier and power supply, filter and choke close
together on the conductive,grounded mounting plate in the cabinet.
Grounding
Shielding
EMC-compliant (EMI) shielding and grounding (ðp.47)
Earth (ground) the mounting plate, motor housing and CNC-GND of the controls.
