4 W-Series Motor Installation Instructions
Guidelines for Installation and Maintenance
The following sections provide general installation and maintenance
information. The information should assist you to correctly install and to
provide maintenance that will prolong the lifetime of your W-Series servo
motor.
Prolonging Washdown Motor Life
Thoughtful design and proper maintenance can increase the life of a
washdown motor. The following are guidelines to maximize the life of a
servo motor in a washdown environment:
• Avoid spraying liquids under high pressure directly on the junction of
the motor shaft and housing. Fluids under high pressure can be forced
around worn seals, and contaminate the motor bearings. Bearing
contamination will significantly shorten the life of a servo motor.
If design requirements permit, provide shields that protect the motor
housing, shaft, seals and their junctions from product contamination
and high pressure fluids.
• Always use watertight cord grips (cable glands) to seal the encoder and
power cable openings, and provide a drip loop in each cable.
• If conduit encloses the power or encoder cables:
– Ensure that conduit lines do not have a negative pressure (vacuum)
that may draw water into the conduit line or motor enclosure.
– Install a short section of flexible conduit between the motor and the
rigid conduit to prevent machine vibration or constant pressure from
causing cable abrasion or motor misalignment.
• Replace the shaft seal at or before its expected lifetime.
– Teflon seals have an expected lifetime of 3 to 6 months.
– Viton seals have an expected lifetime of 12 months or greater.
Refer to Shaft Seals on page 18 for more information on shaft seals.
• Inspect the motor and seals for damage or wear on a regular basis. If
damage or adverse wear is suspected, replace the item.
Publication 1398-IN520A-EN-P — May 2001
W-Series Motor Installation Instructions 5
ATTENTION
!
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 17 for guidelines on how to achieve 20,000 hours of motor bearing
life.
Damage may occur to the motor bearings and the
feedback device if sharp impact to the shaft is applied
during installation of couplings and pulleys. Damage to
the feedback device may result by applying leverage
from the motor mounting face to remove devices
mounted on the motor shaft.
Do not strike the shaft, couplings, or pulleys with tools
during installation or removal. Use a wheel puller
applying pressure from the user end of the shaft to
remove any friction fit or stuck device from the motor
shaft.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result
in damage to the motor and its components.

!
Building and Installing Cables
Knowledgeable cable routing and careful cable construction improves
system ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Refer to Installing Your
Motor on page 9 for suggested feedback and power cable trim lengths,
and for cable shield grounding at the motor frame.
To build and install cables, perform the following steps:
1. Keep wire lengths as short as physically possible.
2. Route signal cables (encoder, serial, analog) away from motor and
power wiring.
3. Separate cables by 0.3 m (1 ft) minimum for every 9 m (30 ft) of parallel
run.
4. Ground both ends of the cable shield and twist the signal wire pairs to
prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other equipment.
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 damage to equipment.
Publication 1398-IN520A-EN-P — May 2001
W-Series Motor Installation Instructions 7
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:
• 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.
• 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-IN520A-EN-P — May 2001
8 W-Series Motor Installation Instructions
Using Shaft Seals
A seal is required on the motor shaft near the motor front bearing to
reduce exposure to fluids or fine dust that could contaminate the motor
bearing and reduce its lifetime. Refer to Motor Catalog Number
Identification on page 2 to identify the Frame Size and Shaft Seal type for
a particular motor. Refer to Shaft Seals on page 18 for usage information.

W-Series Motor Installation Instructions 9
ATTENTION
!
Installing Your Motor
W-Series motors include a mounting pilot for aligning the motor on a
machine. Preferred fasteners are stainless steel. The installation must
comply with all local regulations and use of equipment and installation
practices that promote electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety.
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.
Allow sufficient clearances in the area of the motor for it to stay within its
specified operating temperature range, 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F). 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.
Refer to Mounting Dimensions on page 14 to determine the mounting
dimensions of your motor.

10 W-Series Motor Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT
To install your motor:
1. Remove the endplate (back cover) of the motor by loosening the
screws securing it to the motor housing.
Use care when removing or installing the endplate to
avoid damaging the seal.
2. External feedback and power cables must be stripped to a specified
length to provide effective electrical contact with the connector without
exposing excessive bare wire. Refer to the table on page 12 for
recommended wire strip lengths for Feedback and Power cables.
• trim length for the cable jacket
• shield and strip lengths for wire exposure
• location and length of shield to expose for ground clamp contact
Note that power cable strip lengths differ for the W-3000 or W-4000
servo motors. Refer to Interconnect Cables on page 20 for factory
available feedback and power cables.
3. Route the external power and feedback cables through the plastic cord
grips (cable glands) in the motor endplate. The opening of the strain
relief extension may be increased by turning it counterclockwise.
4. Connect the power and feedback cables to the motor as shown in
Figure 1 or Figure 2 on page 13 and described below:
a. Connect the ground clamps to the power and feedback cables
where the shield wire is exposed. Refer to the figures on page 12.
b. Connect the ground clamps to the motor.
c. Route and connect the individual feedback and power wires to their
respective terminals. Connector Data on page 16 lists the signal
terminals, screw torque values, and acceptable wire sizes.
Note: The top terminal bar on the feedback connector is removable.
Removing it improves access to the power cable terminals in addition to
providing clear access to the feedback cable terminals and screws.

ATTENTION
!
5. Seal the motor housing by performing the following sequential steps:
a. Position the endplate on the motor while ensuring the cable lengths
and routing internal to the motor remain proper.
b. Torque the screws securing the endplate to 3.4 Nm (30 in-lb) to seal
the motor.
c. Turn clockwise the strain relief extension on the plastic cord grips
(cable glands) to seal the encoder and power cable openings.
6. Properly mount and align the motor. Refer to Mounting Dimensions on
page 14 as necessary.
7. After the motor is mounted, ensure that all power and encoder cables
have a drip loop in the cable to keep liquids flowing away from the
motor.
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 damage to equipment.

IMPORTANT
Shaft Seals
Shaft seals that provide environmental sealing of W-Series motors are
available from Allen-Bradley. They provide an additional barrier to
moisture and particle intrusion to the motor bearings. W-Series motors are
shipped with either a Teflon or a Viton shaft seal installed.
Using Shaft Seals
Teflon shaft seals are primarily for applications above a foodline. As such,
Teflon shaft seals are not lubricated and are typically replaced at 3 to 6
month intervals.
Viton shaft seals may be lubricated and should only be used in
applications below a foodline. Viton shaft seals are typically replaced at
12 month or greater intervals when lubricated. Lubricant is supplied with
Viton shaft seal kits.
Removal and Installation of Shaft Seals
Damage to the motor surface where shaft seals make
contact can cause excessive wear and early failure of the
shaft seal.
Use care to prevent scratching or damaging the surface
of the motor.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in
damage to equipment.
Teflon seals may be removed by carefully lifting with a small, flat-bladed
screwdriver around the outside edge of the seal.
Viton seals are mounted on a steel carrier. They may be removed by
carefully forcing a small, flat-bladed screwdriver between the seal and the
end cap periphery. This deforms the metal inward until there is sufficient
room to grasp the deformed steel with a needle-nose pliers and remove
the seal.
Publication 1398-IN520A-EN-P — May 2001
W-Series Motor Installation Instructions 19
To install a new shaft seal:
1. Remove shaft key, if provided.
2. Check the motor shaft and faceplate. Remove nicks and burrs.
3. Protect the seal lip from the sharp edges of the keyway. If necessary,
place masking tape over the keyway.
4. Position the seal on the shaft with the sealing lips positioned and
slanting outward as shown in Figure 5. If using a Viton shaft seal,
lubricant may be applied prior to seating the shaft seal. Do not use
lubricant with a Teflon shaft seal.
5. Use proper tooling to seat the shaft seal. Do not hammer directly on
shaft seal. Apply force evenly around the outer edge with a soft face
tool, arbor press, or a work piece made from soft wood.
6. Push shaft seal into motor just far enough so outer diameter of the seal
is flush with the front surface of the motor. This leaves a slight
clearance between the shaft seal and the motor bearing.
