damage.
(2) When installing the coupler, prevent direct impact to the shaft. This can damage the
encoder mounted on the shaft end at the opposite side of the load.
2-1-4.Orientation
MS series servomotors can be installed either horizontally or vertically.
2-1-5.Handling Oil and Water
Install a protective cover over the servomotor if it is used in a location that is subject to
water or oil mist. Also use a servomotor with an oil seal when needed to seal the
through-shaft section.
2-1-6.Cable Stress
Make sure that the power lines are free from bends and tension. Be especially careful to
wire signal line cables so that they are not subject to stress because the core wires are very
thin, measuring only 0.2 to 0.3mm

2-2.Servo Drivers
The DS2 series servo drivers are base-mounted servo drivers. Incorrect installation will
cause problems. Follow the installation instructions below
2-2-1.Storage Conditions
Store the servo driver within -20~+85 , as long as it is stored with the power cable ℃
disconnected.
2-2-2.Installation Site
The following precautions apply to the installation site.
Situation Installation Precaution
Installation in a Control
Panel
Design the control panel size, unit layout, and cooling method so the
temperature around the servo drivers does not exceed 50°C.
Installation Near a
Heating Unit
Minimize heat radiated from the heating unit as well as any temperature
rise caused by natural convection so the temperature around the servo
drivers does not exceed 50°C.
Installation Near a Source
of Vibration
Install a vibration isolator beneath the servo driver to avoid subjecting it to
vibration.
Installation at a Site
Exposed to Corrosive Gas
Corrosive gas does not have an immediate effect on the servo drivers, but
will eventually cause electronic components and terminals to malfunction.
Take appropriate action to avoid corrosive gas.
Other Situations Do not install the servo driver in hot and humid locations or locations
Through part of the shaft
