N-Series Motor Installation Instructions 3
Before You Install the Motor
Before installing or storing 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 open or attempt to open the motor.
Only a qualified Allen-Bradley employee can
service this type of motor.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Using Couplings and Pulleys
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. All connections
between the system and the servo motor shaft must be rigid to achieve
acceptable response from the system. Periodically inspect connections to
verify their rigidity.
When mounting couplings or pulleys to the motor shaft, ensure that the
connections are properly aligned and that axial and radial loads are within
the specifications of the motor. Refer to Motor Load Force Ratings on page 11 for
guidelines on how to achieve 20,000 hours of motor bearing life.

4N-Series Motor Installation Instructions
Preventing Electrical Noise
ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI), commonly called noise, may
adversely impact motor performance by inducing stray signals. Effective
techniques to counter EMI include filtering the AC power, shielding and
separating signal carrying lines, and practicing good grounding
techniques.
Effective AC power filtering can be achieved by using isolated AC power
transformers or properly installed AC line filters.
To help avoid EMI:
1. Physically separate signal lines from motor cabling and power wiring.
Do not route signal wires with motor and power wires, or over the vent
openings of servo drives.
2. 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.
Publication 1398-IN519A-EN-P — March 2001
N-Series Motor Installation Instructions 5
Building and Installing Cables
Knowledgeable cable routing and careful cable construction improves
system ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
To build and install cables, perform the following steps:
1. Keep wire lengths as short as possible.
2. Route signal cables (encoder, serial, analog) away from motor and
power wiring.
3. Separate cables by a minimum of 0.3 m (1 ft) for every 9 m (30 ft) of
parallel run.
4. Ground both ends of the encoder cable shield, and twist the signal wire
pairs to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other
equipment.
ATTENTION
!
High voltage can be present on the shield of a
power cable if the shield is not grounded.
Ensure there is a connection to ground for any
power cable shield.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.

6N-Series Motor Installation Instructions
Installing Your Motor
The installation must comply with all local regulations and use of
equipment and installation practices that promote electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and safety. Preferred fasteners are stainless steel.
ATTENTION
!
Unmounted motors, disconnected mechanical
couplings, and/or disconnected cables are
dangerous if power is applied.
Disassembled equipment should be appropriately
identified (tagged-out) and access to electrical
power restricted (locked-out).
Failure to observe these safety procedures could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.

N-Series Motor Installation Instructions 7
Guidelines for Installation
Observe the following for installing the motor:
1. Allow sufficient clearance around the motor to keep it within its
specified operating temperature range. Refer to Receiving and Maintenance Information on page 2 for operating range. Do not enclose the motor unless
forced air is blown across the motor for cooling. A fan blowing air across the
motor will improve its performance. Keep other heat-producing devices away
from the motor.
2. Refer to Mounting Dimensions on page 8 to determine the mounting dimensions
of your motor.
3. Place the motor with connectors pointing downward.
4. Properly mount and align the motor.
5. Attach all power and encoder cables after the motor is mounted, and
use a drip loop in the cable to keep liquids flowing away from the
connectors.
ATTENTION
!
Outer surfaces of motor can reach high
temperatures, 100° C (212° F) during motor
operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with
hot surfaces. Consider motor surface temperature
when selecting motor mating connections and
cables.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
