Carefully read the precautions before use and use the motor properly and safely.

Safety precautions are divided into "warning"and "precautions."

WarningWarning
Due to mishandling, a dangerous condition might occur and there is a possibility of death or serious injury.
PrecautionsPrecautions
Due to mishandling, a dangerous condition might occur and there is possibility of medium human disorder or material disorder.
There might be cases where there are heavy damages.

Warning Warning

  • Do not use in an explosive atmosphere, flammable atmosphere and locations where water falls onto. It might cause a fire, injury or electric shock.
  • Installation, wiring connection, inspection, etc. should be done by a person with professional knowledge. You might get an electric shock or be injured.
  • Do not move, wire or inspect the motor when applying current. You might get an electric shock or be injured.
  • Do not pull out or push in the lead wire when applying current. You might get an electric shock.
  • Do not touch the connection terminals, etc. when applying current. You will get an electric shock.
  • Shut off the power supply of your product when an electric power failure occurred. The motor and your product may start running suddenly when the electric power is back and you might get injured.

Precautions Precautions

  • If the motor is used in a equipment that has large social and public effects, please prepare equipment protection measures in case the motor stops.
  • Do not touch the rotating or moving parts during operation. You might get injured.
  • Static electricity causes motor and equipment failures. Take appropriate measures against static electricity during installation of motor.
  • Do not hold the lead wire part because it might cause an electric current disorder or injury due to falling motor.
  • Make sure you receive the right motor at receipt. Installation of wrong motors to your product might cause a fire, injury or electric shock.
  • Pay attention to following things when you assemble the motor to your product, centering, belt tension, chain tension, parallelism of pulley and etc. In case of a direct coupling, make sure its accuracy is kept. If in use of the belt or chain, make sure its correct tension is kept. Make sure the bolt to fix the pulley, coupling is tightened before running. It might cause an injury and breakage of your product brought by airborne fragment.
  • Make sure the direction of motor rotation is correct. Wrong rotation might cause a fire and a breakage of your product, moreover, you might get injured.
  • Shut down the operation of your product and motor when extraordinally happenings occurred. It might cause a fire, injury or electric shock.
  • Do not expose motors to rain, water drop, corrosive gas and liquid. It might cause an electric leakage and breakage.

Warning Other precautions

  • Do not disassemble motor to avoid motor performance change.
  • Hold motor body, not lead wire exit to avoid external force to lead wire exit.
  • Hold connector housing when plugging or unplugging connector not to apply external force to connector pin.
  • Be careful not to apply abnormal force to bearing, shaft, etc. when putting pulley, gear, etc. on to motor shaft.
  • Do not use any motors that were accidentally dropped.
  • Prior to usage of our motor, assemble it to your product and verify its life, noise and vibration which are to be determined by the type and operation condition of your product.
  • Do not use motor in environment generating noxious gas that affects motor performance.
  • Ensure that motor are stored at the temperature and humidity range defined in the specification and at no dew condition.
  • Ensure that motor coil does not exceed 130℃ when mounted on your product unless otherwise specified.
  • In case of usage at high temperature, take safety measures, such as designing not to expose motor to touch human body or sticking a warning label.
  • Provide fuse, protection circuit, etc. to assure safety against injuries to human body or fires that may arise from accidental failure of motor or circuit.
  • Do not bring a magnetic card, a watch etc. close. They may stop function.
  • Do not use our motor for any applications related to military, aircraft or nuclear energy.
  • Our motors are not designed and manufactured for any applications relating to medical equipment. Please use our motors in a design which would not lead to any problem on human life even if an accidental failure occurred in the motors. We cannot take responsibility for any troubles or problems which cause threat on human life; however, we will cooperate on investigations after such troubles or problems happen, if requested.
  • We do not take any responsibility of converted motors.
  • モーターから銘板を取り外さないで下さい。
    Do not remove the name plate on the motor.
  • Do not use the same connector as motor side for the connection to your product because it might cause a faulty interconnection.
  • In case you apply the same motor to an other product, please let us know in advance.
