We have people ask about best practices for working with Fanuc motors<\/a> all the time, so here are some Fanuc Motor Safety Procedures and Tips. For more info you can check out\u00a0 all of our Fanuc products<\/a>\u00a0or email us at\u00a0sales@mroelectric.com<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When working with servo motors:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u2022NEVER pick up or carry the motor by the cables or the shaft. (Always carry by the frame.) Use a crane or lift to move the motor when necessary.<\/div>\n
\u2022NEVER drop or subject the motor to impact. The servo motor is a precision device.<\/div>\n
\u2022NEVER set heavy or sharp objects on the motor or cables. Do not step or sit on the motor or cables.<\/div>\n
\u2022NEVER use a metal hammer on any part of the motor. If it is absolutely necessary to use a hammer, use a plastic hammer.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Keep the motor properly secured and away from the edge of the work area when servicing the motor, as a dropped motor could<\/div>\n

cause personal injury or destroy the motor<\/p>\n

Basic Motor Safety, Procedures, and Best Practices<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u2022 Be safely dressed when handling a motor.<\/div>\n
Wear safety shoes and gloves. Avoid loose clothing which can get caught<\/div>\n
on the motor. Be careful not to let hair get caught in the rotary section of the motor. Do not handle the motor with wet hands.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Shut off the power before working on a motor. Wait at least 5 minutes after the motor is shut off before touching any<\/div>\n
power terminals.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Always use the correct cables. Centroid cables are shown in the motor compatibility table. Wiring diagrams and pin outs<\/div>\n
for motors are provided in Appendix B.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Ensure that the motor and motor related components are mounted securely. Ensure that the base or frame to which the<\/div>\n
motor is mounted to is strong enough.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Do not touch the rotary section of the motor when it is running unless instructed to.<\/div>\n
\u2022 When attaching a component having inertia to the motor, ensure any imbalance between the motor and component is minimized.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Be sure to attach a key to a motor with a keyed shaft.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Use the motor in appropriate environmental conditions. Do not store flammables in close proximity to the motor. When<\/div>\n
not in use, store the motor in a dry location between 0\u00b0 to 40\u00b0 C.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Do not remove the nameplate from a motor<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
