About the Kinetix VP Stainless Steel Servo Motors
Kinetix® VP stainless steel motors (Bulletin VPS) feature a multi-turn high-resolution encoder.
These compact, brushless servo motors meet the unique needs of hygienic manufacturing
environments, such as food, beverage, brewing, dairy, health and beauty, and pharmaceutical
products.
Before You Begin
You are responsible for inspecting the equipment before you accept the shipment from the
freight company. Check the items you receive against your purchase order. Notify the carrier of
shipping damage or missing items immediately.
Store or operate your motor in a clean and dry location within the Environmental Specifications
on page 17.
Before You Install the Motor
Perform these inspection steps 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 shipping damage immediately.
ATTENTION: Do not open and modify the motor.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
Prolonging Motor Life
Thoughtful design and proper maintenance can increase the life of a servo motor. Follow these
guidelines to maximize the life of a servo motor operated within the Environmental
Specifications on page 17.

Kinetix VP Stainless-steel Servo Motor with 130 mm and 165 mm Frame Size 5
Position the motor so that the cable enters from beneath
the motor, and forms a drip loop, as shown here.
The cable lacks a drip loop.
ATT EN TI ON : Do not spray liquids under high pressure directly on the connector, the motor, or the
enclosure joints.
Fluids under high pressure can be forced into the connector, resulting in an electrical short circuit.
Fluids also can be forced around worn seals, and contaminate the motor bearings. Bearing
contamination significantly shortens the life of a servo motor.
The motor connector is not designed to withstand high-pressure washdown, or washdown with
aggressive cleaning compounds. Position the connector away from direct exposure to cleaning
processes, for example, within washdown-rated conduit or junction boxes.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
• Do not install the motor with the shaft pointing upward, as this increases the risk of
contaminant ingress.
• If design requirements permit, provide shields or junction boxes that protect the motor
housing, shaft seals, connector, and their junctions from product contamination, caustic
agents, and high pressure fluids.
• Shaft seals are subject to wear and require periodic inspection and replacement.
Replacement is recommended every 3 months, not to exceed 12 months, depending on
use. Refer to Slinger and Shaft Seal Removal and Installation on page 14 for more
information on shaft seals.
• If desired, seal the motor front flange to the driven equipment with a bead of food-grade
room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone around the periphery of the motor to
equipment joint. Use of a g asket, or non food-grade RTV silicone, on the mating surfaces
can cause misalignment of the shaft and result in damage to the motor and driven
equipment.
• Always provide a drip loop in the single motor cable to carry liquids away from the
connection to the motor.

Using Shaft Seals
A seal is installed on the motor shaft to protect the front bearing from fluids or fine dust that can
contaminate the motor bearing and reduce its lifetime. The IP66, IP67, or IP69K rating for the
motor depends on the shaft seals and the environmental seal on the connector and cable:
• Refer to Sealing Air Accessory Kit on page 18 to find the catalog numbers of seal kits
available for your motor.
• Refer to Environmental Specifications on page 17 for brief descriptions of IP ratings.
Refer to Kinetix Motion Control Selection Guide, publication GMC-SG001
environmentally sealed cables that are compatible with the Bulletin VPS motors.

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 causes
system instability and can damage the motor shaft. All connections between the machine and the
motor shaft must be rigid to achieve acceptable system response. Periodically inspect
connections to verify their rigidity.
When mounting couplings or pulleys to the motor shaft, verify that the connections are properly
aligned and that axial and radial loads are within the specifications of the motor. If you attach a
sealed gearbox to the motor shaft, remove the slinger (see Remove the Slinger
Refer to Motor Load Force Ratings
motor bearing life.
ATTENTION: Damage can occur to the motor bearings and the feedback device if sharp impact is
applied to the shaft during installation of couplings and pulleys. Damage to the feedback device
can r esult f rom app lying l everag e to the motor mo untin g face wh en remo ving de vices m ounted on
the motor shaft.
Do not strike the shaft, couplings, or pulleys with tools during installation or removal. Use a wheel
puller to apply pressure from the user end of the shaft when attempting to remove any device from
the motor shaft.
Failure to observe safety precautions could result in damage to the motor and its components.

on page 14).
A shaft key provides a rigid mechanical connection with the potential for self-alignment, but the
key must be properly installed in the keyway. Refer to these sections for additional information:
• Shaft, Pilot, and Keyway Dimensions, mm (in.) on page 10 for information about the
key and shaft keyway dimensions
• Remove and Install a Shaft Key on page 13 for recommendations on how to remove and
install a shaft key
