s-2
B-65272EN/04 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.2 WARNING

WARNING
- Be safely dressed when handling a motor.
Wear safety shoes or gloves when handling a motor as you may get
hurt on any edge or protrusion on it or electric shocks.

- Use a crane or lift to move a motor from one place to another.

A motor is heavy. If you lift the motor by hand, you may get a
backache, or you may be seriously injured when you drop the motor.
A suitable crane or lift must be used to move the motor. (For the
weight of motors, refer to this manual.)
When moving a motor using a crane or lift, use a hanging bolt if the
motor has a corresponding tapped hole, or textile rope if it has no
tapped hole. If a motor is attached with a machine or any other heavy
stuff, do not use a hanging bolt to move the motor as the hanging bolt
and/or motor may get broken.

- Before starting to connect a motor to electric wires, make sure they are isolated
from an electric power source.
A failure to observe this caution is vary dangerous because you may
get electric shocks.

- Be sure to secure power wires.

If operation is performed with a terminal loose, the terminal block
may become abnormally hot, possibly causing a fire. Also, the
terminal may become disconnected, causing a ground fault or short-
circuit, and possibly giving you electric shocks. See the section in this
manual that gives the tightening torque for attaching power wires and
short-bars to the terminal block.

- Be sure to ground a motor frame.

To avoid electric shocks, be sure to connect the grounding terminal in
the terminal box to the grounding terminal of the machine.

- Do not ground a motor power wire terminal or short-circuit it to another power

wire terminal.
A failure to observe this caution may cause electric shocks or a
burned wiring.
* Some motors require a special connection such as a winding
switching. Refer to their respective motor specification manuals
for details.

- Do not supply the power to the motor while any terminal is exposed.
A failure to observe this caution is very dangerous because you may
get electric shocks if your body or any conductive stuff touches an
exposed terminal.

s-3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-65272EN/04

WARNING
- Do not bring any dangerous stuff near a motor.
Motors are connected to a power line, and may get hot. If a flammable
is placed near a motor, it may be ignited, catch fire, or explode.

- Do not get close to a rotary section of a motor when it is rotating.

You may get your clothes or fingers caught in a rotary section, and
may be injured. Before starting a motor, ensure that there is no stuff
that can fly away (such as a key) on the motor.

- Do not touch a motor with a wet hand.

A failure to observe this caution is vary dangerous because you may
get electric shocks.

- Before touching a motor, shut off the power to it.

Even if a motor is not rotating, there may be a voltage across the
terminals of the motor.
Especially before touching a power supply connection, take sufficient
precautions.
Otherwise you may get electric shocks.

- Do not touch any terminal of a motor for a while (at least 5 minutes) after the
power to the motor is shut off.
High voltage remains across power line terminals of a motor for a
while after the power to the motor is shut off. So, do not touch any
terminal or connect it to any other equipment. Otherwise, you may get
electric shocks or the motor and/or equipment may get damaged.

- To drive a motor, use a specified amplifier and parameters.

An incorrect combination of a motor, amplifier, and parameters may
cause the motor to behave unexpectedly. This is dangerous, and the
motor may get damaged.

- Before driving a motor, be sure to secure it.

If a motor is drove without being secured, it may roll over during
acceleration or deceleration, injuring the user.

s-4
B-65272EN/04 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.3 CAUTION

CAUTION
- Do not touch a motor when it is running or immediately after it stops.
A motor may get hot when it is running. Do not touch the motor
before it gets cool enough. Otherwise, you may get burned.

- Be careful not get your hair or cloths caught in a fan.

Be careful especially for a fan used to generate an inward air flow.
Be careful also for a fan even when the motor is stopped, because it
continues to rotate while the amplifier is turned on.

- Ensure that motors and related components are mounted securely.

If a motor or its component slips out of place or comes off when the
motor is running, it is very dangerous.

- FANUC motors are designed for use with machines. Do not use them for any other
purpose.
If a FANUC motor is used for an unintended purpose, it may cause an
unexpected symptom or trouble. If you want to use a motor for an
unintended purpose, previously consult with FANUC.

- Ensure that a base or frame on which a motor is mounted is strong enough.

Motors are heavy. If a base or frame on which a motor is mounted is
not strong enough, it is impossible to achieve the required precision.

- Be sure to connect motor cables correctly.

An incorrect connection of a cable cause abnormal heat generation,
equipment malfunction, or failure. Always use a cable with an
appropriate current carrying capacity (or thickness). For how to
connect cables to motors, refer to their
respective specification manuals.

- Ensure that motors are cooled if they are those that require forcible cooling.
If a motor that requires forcible cooling is not cooled normally, it may
cause a failure or trouble. For a fan-cooled motor, ensure that it is not
clogged or blocked with dust and dirt. For a liquid-cooled motor,
ensure that the amount of the liquid is appropriate and that the liquid
piping is not clogged. For both types, perform regular cleaning and
inspection.

- When attaching a component having inertia, such as a pulley, to a motor, ensure

that any imbalance between the motor and component is minimized.
If there is a large imbalance, the motor may vibrates abnormally,
resulting in the motor being broken.

s-5
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-65272EN/04

CAUTION
- Be sure to attach a key to a motor with a keyed shaft.
If a motor with a keyed shaft runs with no key attached, it may impair
torque transmission or cause imbalance, resulting in the motor being
broken.With the αi series, a shaft with no key is used as standard.

s-6
B-65272EN/04 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.4 NOTE

NOTE
- Do not step or sit on a motor.
If you step or sit on a motor, it may get deformed or broken. Do not
put a motor on another unless they are in packages.

- When storing a motor, put it in a dry (non-condensing) place at room temperature

(0 to 40 °C).
If a motor is stored in a humid or hot place, its components may get
damaged or deteriorated. In addition, keep a motor in such a position
that its shaft is held horizontal and its terminal box is at the top.

- Do not remove a nameplate from a motor.

If a nameplate comes off, be careful not to lose it. If the nameplate is
lost, the motor becomes unidentifiable, resulting in maintenance
becoming impossible. For a nameplate for a built-in spindle motor,
keep the nameplate with the spindle.

- Do not apply shocks to a motor or cause scratches to it.

If a motor is subjected to shocks or is scratched, its components may
be adversely affected, resulting in normal operation being impaired.
Be very careful when handling plastic portions, sensors, and windings,
because they are very liable to break. Especially, avoid lifting a motor
by pulling its plastic portion, winding, or power cable.

- Do not conduct dielectric strength or insulation test for a sensor.

Such a test can damage elements in the sensor.

- When testing the winding or insulation resistance of a motor, satisfy the

conditions stipulated in IEC34.
Testing a motor under a condition severer than those specified in
IEC34 may damage the motor.

- Do not disassemble a motor.

Disassembling a motor may cause a failure or trouble in it.
If disassembly is in need because of maintenance or repair, please
contact a service representative of FANUC.

- Do not modify a motor.

Do not modify a motor unless directed by FANUC. Modifying a
motor may cause a failure or trouble in it.

- Use a motor under an appropriate environmental condition.

Using a motor in an adverse environment may cause a failure or
trouble in it. Refer to their respective specification manuals for details
of the operating and environmental conditions for motors.

s-7
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-65272EN/04

NOTE
- Do not apply a commercial power source voltage directly to a motor.
Applying a commercial power source voltage directly to a motor may
result in its windings being burned. Be sure to use a specified
amplifier for supplying voltage to the motor.

- For a motor with a terminal box, make a conduit hole for the terminal box in a
specified position.
When making a conduit hole, be careful not to break or damage
unspecified portions. Refer to an applicable specification manual.

- Before using a motor, measure its winding and insulation resistances, and make
sure they are normal.
Especially for a motor that has been stored for a prolonged period of
time, conduct these checks. A motor may deteriorate depending on the
condition under which it is stored or the time during which it is stored.
For the winding resistances of motors, refer to their respective
specification manuals, or ask FANUC. For insulation resistances, see
the following table.

- To use a motor as long as possible, perform periodic maintenance and inspection

for it, and check its winding and insulation resistances.
Note that extremely severe inspections (such as dielectric strength
tests) of a motor may damage its windings. For the winding
resistances of motors, refer to their respective specification manuals,
or ask FANUC. For insulation resistances, see the following table.

MOTOR INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT

Measure an insulation resistance between each winding and
motor frame using an insulation resistance meter (500 VDC).
Judge the measurements according to the following table.

Insulation
Judgment
resistance
100 MΩ or higher Acceptable
The winding has begun deteriorating. There is no
10 to 100 MΩ problem with the performance at present. Be
sure to perform periodic inspection.
The winding has considerably deteriorated.
1 to 10 MΩ Special care is in need. Be sure to perform
periodic inspection.
Lower than 1 MΩ Unacceptable. Replace the motor.

I. DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE αi SERIES
B-65272EN/04 SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES 1.GENERAL

1 GENERAL
As motors for driving the spindle of a CNC machine tool, the FANUC
AC Spindle Motor αi series has incorporated accumulated
technologies and employs the latest design and manufacturing
techniques to provide the features listed below.

Features
- The series provides a lineup of motors that satisfy various
spindle driving structures such as gear driving, belt driving, and
direct motor connection. So, the user can choose an optimal
motor that meets the spindle driving structure of the user.
- By employing winding switching, a wider rated output range
required for the spindle driving motor of a machine tool is
achieved. With the αi series, a high-speed winding is used to
remarkably increase the output level in the high-speed area, thus
reducing acceleration/deceleration time. With the αiP series, a
low-speed winding is used to increase the torque by a factor of
1.5.
- An up-to-date stator cooling method is employed for direct air-
cooling of the electromagnetic steel plate. So, a high power and
high torque are achieved with a compact size.
- By precision rotor aluminum casting and accurate rotor balance
correction, vibration grade V3 (option) is achieved even at high
speed.
- The user can select a motor fan exhaust direction: forward
direction or backward direction. An exhaust direction that
subjects the machine to less heat deformation can be selected.
With the αi series, the cooling air path is optimized to further
improve cooling performance.
- Two types of speed sensors built into the motor are available: Mi
sensor based on the A/B-phase signal and MZi sensor based on
the A/B-phase signal and one-rotation signal. The user can
choose between the two types according to the spindle
configuration and spindle function.
- This series employ waterproof and pressure-proof design
conforming to the international standard (IEC).

4.1 COMMON

Be sure to observe the following, regardless of the connection method

of the motor:
WARNING
When connecting a metallic conduit to a plastic terminal box, connect
the conduit to ground on the power magnetics cabinet side.

CAUTION
1 Mount the motor so that the output shaft points in a direction
ranging within 45° degrees above the horizontal to vertically
downwards.

2 When the motor needs to be pointed to more than 45° degrees

above the horizontal, consult you FANUC representative.

-8-
B-65272EN/04 SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES 4.NOTES ON INSTALLATION

3 Use the eyebolt of the motor to lift only a single motor, (gear and
pulley may be attached).

4 Place a cover over an air-cooled motor to prevent the motor from

being exposed to coolant or lubricant.

5 Limit the vibration acceleration at the rear bracket of the motor

to 0.5 G (4.9 m/s2) to ensure the long-term reliability of each part
of the motor.
In particular, to limit the acceleration in the case of direct
connection to 0.5 G, carefully perform centering with the mating
spindle and make the motor shaft parallel with the spindle.

6 Dynamic balance
During high-speed operation, a small imbalance may cause a
large vibration, resulting in an unusual sound, premature bearing
damage, or some other abnormality.
Therefore, reduce the amount of the imbalance with the dynamic
balance of the other rotation shafts, as well as the gear and
pulley mounted on the output shaft of the motor, as much as
possible.

- Balance correction
With the αi series, a shaft with no key is used as standard to
facilitate the balance correction of a pulley, gear, and
coupling attached to the shaft. Use a completely symmetric
pulley, gear, or coupling, and use a backlash-less tightening
part such as a SPANN ELEMENTE to secure a pulley, gear,
or coupling to the shaft. When attaching a pulley to a shaft,
for example, adjust the periphery vibration to within 20 µm.
This basically eliminates the need for balance correction.
To further reduce the vibration level, make a field balance
correction, for example, by tightening a screw into the
tapped hole for balance correction provided on a
component such as a pulley.

NOTE
When a shaft with a key is required, contact your
FANUC sales representative.

B-65272EN/04 SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES 4.NOTES ON INSTALLATION

7 Output shaft seal

To prevent cutting lubricant or dust from penetrating inside the
motor, one of the following output shaft seals is provided on the
output shaft. (For the use and applicable motors, see Chapter 3,
"MOTOR TYPES.")

For those models with an oil seal, ensure that the surface of the
lubricant is below the lip of the oil seal.
If a simple labyrinth is used as the output shaft seal (high-speed
model) or if no seal is provided (foot mounting type), ensure that
lubricant does not splash onto the flange surface. (If such a
motor is directly mounted on a gear box, the lubricant may
gradually penetrate inside the motor even when no lubricant
splashes on flange surface, thus resulting in motor failure.
Therefore, do not mount such a motor on a gear box directly.

- 11 -
4.NOTES ON INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES B-65272EN/04

8 The lid of the terminal box is provided with rubber gasket to

make it waterproof.
Check that the lid has this gasket, then mount it on the terminal
box.
9 The edge of the fauset joint to mount the flange mounting type
motor should be chamfered about C1.

10 Please space 30 mm or more between the fan cover and the

partition to keep the cooling ability well.
We recommend to take a structure such as you can clean air
holes and the fan cover easily.

- 12 -
B-65272EN/04 SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES 4.NOTES ON INSTALLATION

11 If much oil mist, dust, or other foreign matter settles on the

motor, the cooling performance is degraded, resulting in
degraded performance of the motor. Design the machine such
that only clean cooling air is drawn into the motor.
Example)
When a duct with a filter is installed on a flange mounting
type motor with a rear exhaust (The filter requires periodic
cleaning.)

- 13 -
4.NOTES ON INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES B-65272EN/04

NOTE
1 A foot mounting type motor has no oil seal. When an oil seal is
required, add #0002 to the drawing number of the motor. An oil
seal cannot be attached to any high-speed model, however. For
details, refer to "Order List" (B-65271EN).
Example)
Model α12/7000i (foot mounting type, with no key,
rearward exhaust)
A06B-1408-B200
A06B-1408-B200#0002 (with oil seal)

2 When the oil seal is not exposed to lubricant, remove the coil
spring of the oil seal to decrease the friction between the lip and
shaft.
There is no problem with dry dust sealing.
If the motor is turned at high speed with the contact section
between the oil seal and shaft being dry, the contact section can
make an abnormal sound (interfering sound), or the lip can be
damaged.

3 Cable wiring
Follow the procedure below to install the cable.
(1) Use a hammer to strike the portion for the cable hole on the
terminal box and open the hole.
This time, pay attention not to break the other place except
hole. (In some models, it is not necessary to make a hole.)
(2) Thread the cable through a conduit. Connect the conduit
with the connector. (*1)
(3) Tighten the connector at the cable hole of the terminal box
using a nut. (*2, *3)
(4) Connect each terminal appropriately in the terminal box
with screws.

When a hole once made is not used, purchase the following

rubber bushing and mount it at the hole.
Do not open a hole where it is not required.

4.2 POWER LEAD CONNECTION

WARNING
To attach the power leads and jumpers, follow the procedure
described in this section to make connections with specified torque.
Driving a motor with terminals loosened could result in the terminal
board overheating and causing a fire. In addition, it may remove
terminal to cause a ground fault, short circuit, or electric shock.

CAUTION
1. When attaching the power leads and jumpers to the terminal
board of a motor, tighten the screws with torque specified in the
table. For the terminal size of a terminal board, refer to Chapter
4, "CONNECTIONS" in the manual of the corresponding series.

Tightening torque
Terminal size
[N⋅⋅m]
M4 1.1 to 1.5
M5 2.0 to 2.5
M6 3.5 to 4.5
M8 8 to 10
M10 15 to 16

2. To maintain the required isolation distance, observe the

following:
• When attaching a crimp terminal at the end of a power lead,
cover the crimped portion of the crimp terminal with
insulating tube.
• If the terminal board is provided with an insulating cover,
fasten the power leads with the screws, and then put back
the insulating cover in place.

3. If you want to energize an output switching type motor only with

the low- or high-speed winding rather than switching its output,
jumper the low- or high-speed winding, whichever is applicable,
and then connect three power leads (the U-, V-, and W-phase
wires) to the motor (except for the α15/12000iT and αiL series
motors).

The output switching type motors in the αi series, αiP series, and
α(HV)iP series come standard with jumpers in the terminal box.
If you want to any other output switching type motor, place an
order for jumpers according to the following list.

Use a flat-blade screwdriver with a blade size of 3.5 × 0.5 mm.
(210-120J (standard type), 210-350J (short type) manufactured
by WAGO)

<3> Connection procedure

Screwdriver <1> Insert the tip of the screwdriver into the screwdriver insertion

slot (small rectangular hole) until the tip touches the spring. Next,
<1> while tilting the screwdriver toward the inside of the terminal
<2> block, push the screwdriver until it butts the conductive plate. In
this state, the spring is opened completely, and the screwdriver is
held in the terminal block. Ensure that the screwdriver is secured.
Otherwise, the next step (wire insertion) cannot be conducted
easily.
<2> Check the peel-off length (8 to 9 mm), then insert the wire into
the wire insertion slot (large rectangular hole) until it stops, by
sliding the wire along the outer side of the hole slowly so that
the conductor does not become loose. Be careful not to push a
thin wire excessively.
<3> While holding down the inserted wire by one hand, extract the
Conductor
screwdriver. The spring is closed to make a connection.
Spring
<4> By slightly pulling the wire, check that the wire is connected
Conductive plate firmly. The wire need not be pulled intensely.

Cautions
- Only one wire must be connected to one spring.
- A wire, which may be a stranded wire or single conductor, can
be directly connected without performing terminal processing if
its sheath is peeled off. A wire after ferrule processing can also
be connected.

4.4 WHEN A MOTOR IS CONNECTED TO A SPINDLE VIA A

BELT

CAUTION
1 Mounting the pulley
- The gap between the inner surface of the motor pulley and
output shaft should be 10µm to 15µm.
- If the gap is large when the high-speed rotation (4500 min-1),
fretting produced at the gap causes a large vibration,
resulting in damage to the motor bearing.
- As the vibration is intensified, fretting occurs in the gap
mentioned above, and the pulley and shaft can stick to each
other.
- To secure a pulley, use a friction-tightening part such as a
SPANN ELEMENTE or clamping sleeve.

NOTE
The SPANN ELEMENTE RfN8006 is manufactured
by RINGFEDER.
The clamping sleeve DSM is manufactured by
SPIETH.

Example 1 Two sets of SPANN ELEMENTE RfN8006 are used.

The collar is pinched at two points by the two sets.

SPANN ELEMENTE

Example 2 Clamping sleeve DSM is used.

SPANN ELEMENTE

2 After attaching a pulley to the motor, adjust the vibration of the

belt groove to within 20 µm (T.I.R).

5 Before the belt is looped, FANUC recommends that the dynamic

balance (field balance) be corrected.
- 27 -
4.NOTES ON INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES B-65272EN/04

4 Limit the radial load applied to the motor output shaft by the
tension of the belt to the allowable value described in the manual
for each series. If the allowable value is exceeded, the bearing or
shaft may fail prematurely.

5 The tension of the belt is reduced as a result of abrasion during

the initial several hours of operation. To transfer torque normally
after this reduction in tension, the initial tension before operation
should be set to a value 1.3 times the actually required tension T.

Recommended belts:
Ribace manufactured by BANDO.
Ribstar manufactured by MITSUBOSHI.

- 28 -
B-65272EN/04 SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES 4.NOTES ON INSTALLATION

6 Use an appropriate tension gage to tension the belt.

Examples
Sonic type:
U-305 series manufactured by UNITTA.
Mechanical type:
BT-33-73F manufactured by KENT-MOORE of the
United States
A mechanical type tension gage may give a false reading
depending on the belt's number of peaks and length. To
overcome this problem, hang an object of a known weight on the
belt, read the tension value, then adjust the tension gage.

4.5 WHEN A MOTOR IS CONNECTED TO A SPINDLE VIA A

GEAR

CAUTION
1 Do not use a helical gear which applies a load in the motor axial
direction.
2 To prevent unusual gear sounds, apply the following
precautions:
(1) The deviation of the gear tooth surface should indicate the
proper value.
(Tip) Measuring the deviation of a gear tooth surface

(2) The correct backlash should be provided.

(3) The perpendicularity of the motor flange mounting surface
to the machine shaft should indicate the proper value.
3 Mount the motor on the machine so that the vibration
acceleration is 0.5 G or less when it is measured using the
method described in CAUTION 4 of Section 4.1.

B-65272EN/04 SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES 4.NOTES ON INSTALLATION

4.6 WHEN A MOTOR IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO A

SPINDLE VIA A COUPLING

CAUTION
1 Use a coupling which can absorb thermal expansion in the axial
direction of the motor mating shaft so that no load is applied in
the motor axial direction.
(Examples)
- Diaphragm coupling (EAGLE INDUSTRY CO., LTD.)
- Oldham's coupling
- Gear coupling

2 Set the torsional rigidity of the coupling to an appropriate high

value. If the torsional rigidity is low, vibration may be produced
during orientation.

3 It is important to perform centering and obtain parallelism to

avoid having to recourse to the flexibility of the coupling.
At high speeds, any eccentricity may cause the bearing to fail
prematurely.

4 Check all machines before shipping to confirm that the vibration

acceleration is 0.5 G or less when measured using the method
described in CAUTION 4 of Section 4.1.

5.NOTES ON OPERATION SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE αi SERIES B-65272EN/04

5 WARNING
NOTES ON OPERATION

1 When supplying voltage to the spindle motor or the fan motor,

ensure that the earth cable is connected to the earth terminal and
secure that the spindle motor is put to earth certainly.

CAUTION
1 After a continuous and long operation, the temperature of model
α0.5i may rise higher than other motors because they have no
fan motor. So please treat them carefully.

2 Sound and vibration

Check that there is no abnormal sound or vibration.

3 Cooling
Clean off dust from the cooling air inlet and outlet of the stator
every year, and check the flow of air carefully.

NOTE
1 To increase the operating lifetime of a motor of these series,
break in the motor. As a guideline, increase the speed of the
motor from 1000 min-1 to its maximum speed in 1000 min-1
increments, and operate the motor at each speed for about 5
minutes.

voltage is high, or the impedance of the power is high, the time
required for deceleration may not be made equal to that for
acceleration.

To obtain the value GD2 [kgf⋅m2] for cylinder, get the value of G from
its weight in kilograms and use the following equation to get the value
of D2.

- Solid cylinder

Use the following equiation to convert GD2 [kgf⋅m2] to J [kgf⋅cm⋅sec2]

J[kgf⋅cm⋅sec2] = GD2 [kgf⋅m2]/4/g×100
= GD2 [kgf⋅m2]/4/9.8×100
= GD2 [kgf⋅m2] ×2.55

Reference 3
Note the following relationship between the value of inertia I [kg⋅m2]
in SI units and the value of GD2 [kgf⋅m2]:
I[kg⋅m2]=GD2 [kgf⋅m2]/4
Therefore, to convert I [kg⋅m2] to J [kgf⋅cm⋅sec2], use the following
equation:
J[kgf⋅cm⋅sec2] = GD2 [kgf⋅m2]/4/g×100
= I [kg⋅m2]/g×100
= I [kg⋅m2]/9.80×100
= I [kg⋅m2] ×10.2

NOTE
g indicates the acceleration of gravity:
9.80 [m/sec2].

Reference 4

- Difference of inertia
Calculate the inertia of the solid steel cylinder shown in the following
figure.

10 [cm]

20 [cm]

(1) Calculating J [kgf⋅cm⋅sec2]

J = πγ /(32×980) ×Q4×L
= π×7.8×10-3/(32×980) ×104×20
= 0.156[kgf⋅cm⋅sec2]

(2) Calculating GD2 [kgf⋅m2]

G = π/4×102×20×γ
= π/4×102×20×7.8×10-3
= 12.25[kgf]
D2 = D02/2
= 0.12/2
= 0.005[m2]
GD2 = 12.25×0.005
= 0.0613[kgf⋅m2]

OUTPUT/TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Calculation for torque

Torque T can be obtained by the following equation.

T[N⋅m]=P[kW]×1000/0.1047/N[min-1]
P[kW]: Motor output
N[min-1]: Motor speed

When the unit of T is [kgf⋅m],

T[kgf⋅m]=P[kW]×1000/1.0269/N[min-1]

NOTE
1 When using a belt, adjust the tension so the
allowable loads indicated above are not exceeded.
If an excessive load is applied, consider the use of
a support bearing on the machine side to maintain
the long-term reliability of the motor. (If an
excessive load is applied, it is possible that an
abnormal sound may occur.)
2 When the belt tension is maximized at a point
outside the output shaft end, the allowable loads
are less than those at the output shaft end.
3 If a thrust load is applied when a helical gear is
used, the shaft moves in the direction of the thrust.
So, as a general rule, never apply a thrust load.

III. FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR αiP SERIES
B-65272EN/04 FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR αiP SERIES 1.GENERAL

1 GENERAL
FANUC AC spindle motor αiP series is suitable for structural
simplification by eliminating the machine spindle gear box.

Features
- As the rated output range is wide from 1:10 to 1:16 , a gear box
structure for speed change is not required, thereby allowing the
structure of the machine to be simplified.
Accordingly, vibration and noise caused by the gear box
structure is also eliminated.
- Improvement in efficiency of construction equipment
Unnecessary use of time is reduced because it is not necessary to
stop the spindle when switching the gear.
- Despite a compact configuration, a large low-speed torque can
be obtained.
- The method of fan exhaust can be selected from either a exhaust
front type or exhaust rear type, thus preventing heat deformation
of the machine.
- Waterproof and pressure-proof design conforming to the
international standard (IEC) is employed to improve reliability
and make it resistant to most environments.

OUTPUT/TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Calculation for torque

Torque T can be obtained by the following equation.

T[N⋅m]=P[kW]×1000/0.1047/N[min-1]
P[kW]: Motor output
N[min-1]: Motor speed

When the unit of T is [kgf⋅m],

T[kgf⋅m]=P[kW]×1000/1.0269/N[min-1]

NOTE
1 When using a belt, adjust the tension so the
allowable loads indicated above are not exceeded.
If an excessive load is applied, consider the use of
a support bearing on the machine side to maintain
the long-term reliability of the motor. (If an
excessive load is applied, it is possible that an
abnormal sound may occur.)
2 When the belt tension is maximized at a point
outside the output shaft end, the allowable loads
are less than those at the output shaft end.
3 If a thrust load is applied when a helical gear is
used, the shaft moves in the direction of the thrust.
So, as a general rule, never apply a thrust load.

Features
GENERAL

By directly connecting the spindle with a spindle motor (hollow shaft),

higher-speed spindle rotation and highly efficient center-through
coolant machining are enabled. A spindle of direct motor connection
type is connected with a motor by using a coupling, so that this type
of spindle has several advantages. For example, transfer of heat
produced by the motor to the spindle is minimized, and each of the
motor and spindle can be maintained separately.

<3> Each of the motor and spindle can be maintained separately.

1.GENERAL FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR αiT SERIES B-65272EN/04

Important
(1) For attachment of this type of motor to a spindle, only coupling-
based direct connection with the spindle is allowed. When a
spindle of direct motor connection type is used, fretting can
occur with the motor shaft in a short-time operation, or the
bearing of the spindle or motor can be damaged if the spindle
and motor are not aligned precisely. As the method of
quantitatively determining whether a spindle and motor are
aligned precisely, FANUC recommends the user to measure the
vibration (acceleration G) of the motor after being connected
with the spindle. For details, see Section 9.3, "CHECKING
MOTOR VIBRATION" in this manual.

(2) Do not apply a thrust load onto the motor shaft. Select a coupling
that does not apply a thrust load onto the motor shaft for a cause
such as coolant pressure when the temperature rises or cutting is
performed.

(*10)When assembling a motor with the machine, align the motor
shaft with the spindle so that the vibration acceleration of the
motor does not exceed 0.5 G (at maximum speed).
(Before shipping machines, check that the vibration acceleration
is 0.5 G or less for all motors.)
(*11)Select a coupling that does not apply a thrust load onto the
motor shaft for a cause such as coolant pressure when the
temperature rises.
Note that in the direction in which the motor shaft is pushed
toward the inside of the motor, the allowable load is 0 kgf.
(If a gear coupling or Oldham coupling is used, the motor shaft
can be left pushed into the inside of the motor when the motor
shaft is inserted into the spindle. So, measure the distance
between the mounting face for a rotation joint support housing
and the flinger rear end face before and after insertion, and check
that the two measured values are identical.
For details, see Section 9.4 "COUPLING SELECTION".)
(*12)These values are to be used only as guidance for selecting a
power supply module and are not guaranteed.
(*13)Switching methods of power lead are two types (Y-∆ switching
and Y-Y switching).
Required are the CNC software option related to the output
switching function and the switching magnetic connection unit.
Refer to FANUC SERVO AMPLIFIER αi series
DESCRIPTIONS (B-65282EN) for output switching control.
(*14)The protection grade (IEC34-5) is IP40. However, the grade is
IP54 when the labyrinth seal on the front side of the output axis
and the flinger seal on the rear side are excluded.
Ensure that the labyrinth seal and flinger seal are not directly
exposed to coolant and mist.

OUTPUT/TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Calculation for torque

Torque T can be obtained by the following equation.

T[N⋅m]=P[kW]×1000/0.1047/N[min-1]
P[kW]: Motor output
N[min-1]: Motor speed

When the unit of T is [kgf⋅m],

T[kgf⋅m]=P[kW]×1000/1.0269/N[min-1]

8 POINTS ABOUT DIRECT CONNECTION

STRUCTURE
If the motor shaft and spindle are not centered precisely when the
spindle motor is directly connected to the spindle, fretting can occur
with the motor shaft in a short-time operation, or the bearing of the
motor can be damaged because of vibration occurring at the joint.
Six important points for high-speed rotation with low vibration in a

9.1 HIGHER-PRECISION MOUNTING FLANGE AND SHAFT

With the αiT series, a mounting flange and shaft are assembled with
higher precision for direct connection with the spindle. For details,
see Chapter 6, "ASSEMBLY PRECISION".

9.2 CENTERING USING CENTERING PLATES

When connecting the spindle with the motor shaft, make centering
with a target concentricity of 5µm. If centering accuracy measurement
is difficult, it is recommended to use centering plates between the
spindle head and motor.

Prepare two centering plates: one for the motor and the other for the
spindle head. Mate the socket and spigot joint of the plate for the
motor with the socket and spigot joint of the plate for the spindle head
(with a target of no gap). After centering of the plate for the motor
with the motor, center the plate for the spindle head with the spindle
head. Then, attach the motor with the plate to the plate for the spindle
head. (For plate centering, the user should prepare a stand and orient
the spindle upward.)

This centering structure allows high-precision installation even in the case of motor replacement in the field.

9.3 CHECKING MOTOR VIBRATION (TO SEE WHETHER

CENTERING IS SUCCESSFUL)

To check whether the spindle is centered with the motor successfully,

measure the vibration acceleration of the motor.
Center the motor shaft with the spindle so that the vibration
acceleration of the motor does not exceed 0.5 G (at maximum speed).
(Frequency range: 10 to 1000 Hz)
Before shipping machines, check that the vibration acceleration is 0.5
G or less for all motors.

Method of motor vibration measurement

Motor body

Pickup

Vibration-meter

(Recommended vibration-meter) Use the following vibration-meter or

an equivalent:

Name: Anavibro
Model: VM-3304
Manufacturer: IMV Corporation (TEL : 03-3262-6311)
Features: Since a pickup of moving-coil (velocity) type is
employed, the need for complicate setting is
eliminated to allow an easy measurement.
The frequency range is 10 to 1000 Hz, so that this
vibration-meter is suitable for measurement of motor
rotation components.

* FANUC does not recommend a charge vibration-meter using a

piezoelectric acceleration type pickup because it requires
complicate setting for use.

9.4 COUPLING SELECTION

Select a coupling that does not apply a thrust load onto the motor
shaft for a cause such as coolant pressure when the temperature rises
or cutting is performed. When attaching a coupling to the motor shaft,
do not strike the coupling so that no shock load is applied to the
bearing.

(Example of using a disk coupling)

NOTE
If a gear coupling or Oldham coupling is used, the
motor shaft can be left pushed into the inside of the
motor when the motor shaft is inserted into the
spindle. So, measure the distance (L in the figure
below) between the mounting face for a rotation joint
support housing and the flinger rear end face before
and after insertion, and check that the two measured
values are identical. Particularly when a gear
coupling is used, the gear section (closed section)
needs to have an air vent.

torque(*1) 3.6 times greater than the S3 rated torque
to protect against slippage in intermittent cutting.
With the models α1.5/15000iT and α2/15000iT,
however, the motor shaft to which a SPANN
ELEMENTE is fastened is thin. So, select SPANN
ELEMENTE and a fastening method so that the
stress applied to the motor shaft does not exceed the
yield point of the motor shaft (490 N/mm2). As shown
below, provide a space of L mm or more between the
SPANN ELEMENTE and the tip of the motor shaft.
*1 With the high-acceleration type models
α1.5/15000iT, α2/15000iT, α8/15000iT, and
α15/12000iT, select SPANN ELEMENTE that can
withstand a torque 3 times greater than the
maximum torque at acceleration time.

[Example of selection]
Condition 1: Two sets of SPANN ELEMENTE RfN8006 22 × 26 (inner diameter × outer diameter) are used.
Condition 2: Four M5 bolts (strength class: 12.9) are tightened by a tightening torque of 10.0 [N⋅m].

Surface pressure P (170.7 [N/mm ]) is produced on the motor shaft, and torque T (128.2 [N⋅m]) becomes transferable.

Checking transferable torque T

[Check]: Transferable torque T ≥ 3 times maximum torque at motor acceleration time
(*2)
The maximum torque at acceleration time of the model α2/15000iT is 34.8 [N⋅m] . Accordingly, the following
transferable torque is obtained:
128.2 ≥ 3 × 34.8

From the produced surface pressure P and the transferable torque T, check stress σ applied onto the motor shaft.
2
[Check]: Stress σ applied onto the motor shaft ≤ Motor shaft yield point (490 [N/mm ])
2
From the produced surface pressure P (170.7 [N/mm ]) and the transferable torque (128.2 [N⋅m]), stress σ applied onto
2
the motor shaft is calculated as σ = 453.1 [N/mm ]. Accordingly, the following is obtained:
453.1 ≤ 490

*2 This data is calculated from a maximum output at acceleration

time used as a guideline for power supply module selection and
from the motor base speed, and is not a guaranteed value.

9.5 ROTATION JOINT

When coolant is flown through the through hole of the motor shaft, a
coolant pressure acts on the end face of the coolant joint attached to
the shaft front end, thus producing a thrust load that pushes the motor
shaft backward. (See Section 9.6.)
If a rotation joint of separate external support type is attached to the
motor shaft rear end, a coolant pressure acts also on the rotation joint
to push the motor shaft forward, and therefore the thrust load can be
canceled.
The αiT series is designed assuming that a rotation joint indicated in
the table below is attached to the shaft rear end:

<1> When spindle-through coolant is used, a thrust load acts at

the motor and rotation joint. By setting a thrust load at position
B slightly higher than a thrust load at position A, the operation
of the motor can be made stable relative to the pulsation of the
coolant pump.
<2> When a rotation joint described in Section 9.5 is used, the
pressure reception diameter on the rotation joint side is
φ12.9(Deublin) or φ12.6(Rix). So, ensure that the pressure

* Before attaching a coolant joint, apply screw locking

adhesive. Be sure to use a motor shaft tip screw when
attaching a coolant joint.

<3> Method of calculating a thrust load imposed on the motor when a

coolant pressure of 70 kgf/cm2 is applied
(Example)
When the pressure reception diameter (d) of a coolant joint
is φ12 and rotation joint is Deublin.
The pressure reception areas are calculated as follows:
Position A : 1.13cm2(φ12)-0.28cm2(φ6)=0.85cm2
Position B : 1.31cm2 (φ12.9)-0.28cm2(φ6)=1.03cm2
So, the thrust load imposed on position A is 59.5 kgf, and
the thrust load imposed on position B is 72.1 kgf.
Accordingly, the thrust load 12.6 kgf (72.1 kgf - 59.5 kgf)
acts in the direction for pushing the motor shaft forward.
When pressure reception diameter d = φ12.5, a similar
calculation can be made to find a thrust load of 5.6 kgf.

9.7 ROTATION JOINT SUPPORT HOUSING

The machine tool builder is to prepare a rotation joint support housing.

To secure a housing, use a socket and spigot joint and six M5 tapped
holes at the motor rear end. Prepare six M5 bolts to secure a housing.
When a rotation joint of separate external support type is used,
coolant leaks from the sealing section (contact section between the
stationary side and rotation side). So, be sure to provide a drain on the
housing for the rotation joint. A drain of PT3/8 or more is required,
and a hose with an inner diameter of φ12 mm or more is required.
(To determine the final figure of a drain, be sure to contact the
manufacturer of a rotation joint.)
A housing of labyrinth structure for preventing coolant from
penetrating into the inside of the motor is required. Particularly when
the motor is oriented downward vertically, enhance drainage by
means such as air purging.
When the rotation joint is damaged, a large amount of coolant can
leak. So, provide many notches on the housing. Moreover, attach a
flow rate sensor to the drain to perform periodic flow rate
management. For details, refer to the specifications of each rotation
joint.

B-65272EN/04 FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR αiL SERIES 1.GENERAL

1 GENERAL
The FANUC AC spindle motor αiL series is liquid-cooled motors.
They feature low temperature rise, high-speed, high torque at low
speed, and low vibration.
Coupling an αiL series motor directly to the spindle of a machining
center makes it possible to realize gear-less, high-precision operation.
The motor shaft has a through hole, through which center-through
coolant can be passed.
Features
(1) Thermal conduction to the spindle head and heat radiation to the
machine column are reduced by cooling the front flange and
motor case with a unique conduit structure (granted Japanese
patent No. 2105-445 and US patent No. 5,084,642).

(2) A high torque at low rotation speed is realized by achieving

high-efficient cooling based on liquid coolant and employing an
output switching function (Y-Y switching).

(3) High-speed rotation is supported with grease-based lubrication.

(4) A vibration class of V3 (rotation component) is attained by strict

rotor balance adjustments.

(5) The motor shaft is provided with a through hole for center-
through coolant.

(6) The MZi sensor signal incorporated in the motor can be used in
performing orientation and rigid tapping, so there is no need to
mount a detector on the machine tool.

• See descriptions about the αiT series for the features of the
spindle coupled directly to the motor, the points of the direct
coupling structure, and cautions for mounting the motor.

Note that in the direction in which the motor shaft is pushed
toward the inside of the motor, the allowable load is 0 kgf.
(If a gear coupling or Oldham coupling is used, the motor shaft
can be left pushed into the inside of the motor when the motor
shaft is inserted into the spindle. So, measure the distance
between the mounting face for a rotation joint support housing
and the flinger rear end face before and after insertion, and check
that the two measured values are identical.

B-65272EN/04 FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR α(HV)i SERIES 1.GENERAL

1 GENERAL
The FANUC AC Spindle Motor α(HV)i series includes standard
spindle motors for CNC machine tool spindles, which can be driven
by 400 to 480VAC without a step-down transformer(*1).
(*1) For models α1HVi, α1.5HVi, α2HVi, and α3HVi, however, a
single-phase step-down transformer for fan motors is required
when 480VAC is applied.

Features
- The motor is compact, light-weight and furnished with digital
control for much higher performance.
- The motor inertia of the AC spindle motor is made smaller to
shorten the acceleration/deceleration speed. Further, optimum
control enables highly efficient cutting.
- The built-in Mi sensor or MZi sensor enables synchronous
spindle and Z-axis feed and rigid tapping.
- Improvement in machining of the motor housing enhances the
accuracy of the mounting part.
- Waterproof and pressure-proof design conforming to the
international standard (IEC) is employed to improve reliability
and make it resistant to most environments.

α100/4000HVi Direct connection to the spindle

NOTE
1 When using a belt, adjust the tension so the
allowable loads indicated above are not exceeded.
If an excessive load is applied, consider the use of
a support bearing on the machine side to maintain
the long-term reliability of the motor. (If an
excessive load is applied, it is possible that an
abnormal sound may occur.)
2 When the belt tension is maximized at a point
outside the output shaft end, the allowable loads
are less than those at the output shaft end.
3 If a thrust load is applied when a helical gear is
used, the shaft moves in the direction of the thrust.
So, as a general rule, never apply a thrust load.

B-65272EN/04 FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR α(HV)iP SERIES 1.GENERAL

1 GENERAL
FANUC AC spindle motor α(HV)iP series is suitable for structural
simplification by eliminating the machine spindle gear box.

Features
- As the rated output range is wide from 1:10 to 1:16 , a gear box
structure for speed change is not required, thereby allowing the
structure of the machine to be simplified.
Accordingly, vibration and noise caused by the gear box
structure is also eliminated.
- Improvement in efficiency of construction equipment
Unnecessary use of time is reduced because it is not necessary to
stop the spindle when switching the gear.
- Despite a compact configuration, a large low-speed torque can
be obtained.
- The method of fan exhaust can be selected from either a exhaust
front type or exhaust rear type, thus preventing heat deformation
of the machine.
- Waterproof and pressure-proof design conforming to the
international standard (IEC) is employed to improve reliability
and make it resistant to most environments.

5 ALLOWABLE RADIAL LOAD

Use the motor output shaft below the allowable radial loads shown in
the table below.

Allowable radial load (kgf)

Model At output shaft At output shaft
end center
α15/6000HViP 2940N (300kgf) 3410N (348kgf)
α22/6000HViP 4410N (450kgf) 4988N (509kgf)
α40/6000HViP, α50/6000HViP 5390N (550kgf) 6134N (626kgf)
α60/4500HViP - 19600N (2000kgf)

NOTE
1 When using a belt, adjust the tension so the
allowable loads indicated above are not exceeded.
If an excessive load is applied, consider the use of
a support bearing on the machine side to maintain
the long-term reliability of the motor. (If an
excessive load is applied, it is possible that an
abnormal sound may occur.)
2 When the belt tension is maximized at a point
outside the output shaft end, the allowable loads
are less than those at the output shaft end.
3 If a thrust load is applied when a helical gear is
used, the shaft moves in the direction of the thrust.
So, as a general rule, never apply a thrust load.

VIII. FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR α(HV)iT SERIES
B-65272EN/04 FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR α(HV)iT SERIES 1.GENERAL

1 GENERAL
The FANUC AC Spindle Motor α(HV)iT series includes spindle
motors (hollow shaft), which can be driven by 400 to 480VAC
without a step-down transformer(*1).
(*1) For models α1.5HViT, α2HViT, and α3HViT, however, a single-
phase step-down transformer for fan motors is required when
480VAC is applied.

Features
- For features of a spindle that is directly connected to a motor,
see the αiT series section.

Cautions and limitations

(*1) The rated output is guaranteed at the rated voltage.
(Amplifier input: 400/480VAC +10%, -15%, 50/60Hz±1Hz)
If the input voltage fluctuates, it is possible that the rated output
cannot be obtained even when such fluctuations are within the
allowable fluctuation range.
(*2) The output for α1.5/15000HViT and α2/15000HViT is 15 min
rated.
(*3) 40% for α1.5/15000HViT, α2/15000HViT, and α22/10000HViT
(*4) The cycle time is 10 minutes, S3 60%: ON 6 minutes, OFF 4
minutes and S3 40%: ON 4 minutes, OFF 6 minutes
(*5) The rated current is the maximum current for each rated output.
(*6) IC code conforms to IEC 34-6.
(*7) IM code conforms to IEC 34-7.
(*8) This is not a guaranteed value but a guideline for the maximum
motor output at a rated supply voltage.
(*9) Type conforms to IEC 34-11.
(*10)When assembling a motor with the machine, align the motor
shaft with the spindle so that the vibration acceleration of the
motor does not exceed 0.5 G (at maximum speed).
(Before shipping machines, check that the vibration acceleration
is 0.5 G or less for all motors.)
(*11)Select a coupling that does not apply a thrust load onto the
motor shaft for a cause such as coolant pressure when the
temperature rises.
Note that in the direction in which the motor shaft is pushed
toward the inside of the motor, the allowable load is 0 kgf.
(If a gear coupling or Oldham coupling is used, the motor shaft
can be left pushed into the inside of the motor when the motor
shaft is inserted into the spindle. So, measure the distance
between the mounting face for a rotation joint support housing
and the flinger rear end face before and after insertion, and check
that the two measured values are identical.
For details, see Section V-9.4 "COUPLING SELECTION".)
(*12)These values are to be used only as guidance for selecting a
power supply module and are not guaranteed.
(*13)Switching method of power lead is Y-∆ switching.
Required are the CNC software option related to the output
switching function and the switching magnetic connection unit.
Refer to FANUC SERVO AMPLIFIER αi series
DESCRIPTIONS (B-65282EN) for output switching control.
(*14)The protection grade (IEC34-5) is IP40. However, the grade is
IP54 when the labyrinth seal on the front side of the output axis
and the flinger seal on the rear side are excluded.
Ensure that the labyrinth seal and flinger seal are not directly
exposed to coolant and mist.
(*15)The input power requirements of the fan motor for
α1.5/15000HViT, α2/15000HViT, or α3/15000HViT are:
200/230VAC +10% -15%, single-phase, and 50/60 Hz±1Hz.

OUTPUT/TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Calculation for torque

Torque T can be obtained by the following equation.

T[N⋅m]=P[kW]×1000/0.1047/N[min-1]
P[kW]: Motor output
N[min-1]: Motor speed

When the unit of T is [kgf⋅m],

T[kgf⋅m]=P[kW]×1000/1.0269/N[min-1]

IX. FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR α(HV)iL SERIES
B-65272EN/04 FANUC AC SPINDLE MOTOR α(HV)iL SERIES 1.GENERAL

1 GENERAL
The FANUC AC spindle motor α(HV)iL series is liquid-cooled
motors that can be energized at 400 to 480 V without using a step-
down transformer. They feature low temperature rise, high-speed,
high torque at low speed, and low vibration.
Coupling an α(HV)iL series motor directly to the spindle of a
machining center makes it possible to realize gear-less, high-precision
operation.
The motor shaft has a through hole, through which center-through
coolant can be passed.
Features
(1) Thermal conduction to the spindle head and heat radiation to the
machine column are reduced by cooling the front flange and
motor case with a unique conduit structure (granted Japanese
patent No. 2105-445 and US patent No. 5,084,642).

(2) A high torque at low rotation speed is realized by achieving

high-efficient cooling based on liquid coolant and employing an
output switching function (Y-∆ switching).

(3) High-speed rotation is supported with grease-based lubrication.

(4) A vibration class of V3 (rotation component) is attained by strict

rotor balance adjustments.

(5) The motor shaft is provided with a through hole for center-
through coolant.

(6) The MZi sensor signal incorporated in the motor can be used in
performing orientation and rigid tapping, so there is no need to
mount a detector on the machine tool.

• See descriptions about the αiT series for the features of the
spindle coupled directly to the motor, the points of the direct
coupling structure, and cautions for mounting the motor.

* See Page 352 for Cautions and limitations.

Cautions and limitations
(*1) The power wire switching method is Y-∆ switching. Refer to
FANUC SERVO AMPLIFIER αi series DESCRIPTIONS (B-
65282EN) for explanations about output switching control.
(*2) The rated output is guaranteed at the rated voltage.
(Amplifier input:400/480VAC+10%-15%, 50/60Hz±1Hz)
If the input voltage fluctuates, it is possible that the rated output
cannot be obtained even when such fluctuations are within the
allowable fluctuation range.
(*3) The cycle time is 10 minutes, S3 60%: ON 6 minutes, OFF 4
minutes, S3 40%: ON 4 minutes, OFF 6 minutes, S3 25%: ON
2.5 minutes, OFF 7.5 minutes
(*4) The rated current is the maximum current for each rated output.
(*5) IC code conforms to IEC 34-6. Apply cooling conditions
stipulated elsewhere.
(*6) IM code conforms to IEC 34-7.
(*7) This is not a guaranteed value but a guideline for the maximum
motor output at a rated supply voltage.
(*8) Type conforms to IEC 34-11.
(*9) When assembling a motor with the machine, align the motor
shaft with the spindle so that the vibration acceleration of the
motor does not exceed 0.5 G (at maximum speed).
(Before shipping machines, check that the vibration acceleration
is 0.5 G or less for all motors.)
(*10)Select a coupling that does not apply a thrust load onto the
motor shaft for a cause such as coolant pressure when the
temperature rises.
Note that in the direction in which the motor shaft is pushed
toward the inside of the motor, the allowable load is 0 kgf.
(If a gear coupling or Oldham coupling is used, the motor shaft
can be left pushed into the inside of the motor when the motor
shaft is inserted into the spindle. So, measure the distance
between the mounting face for a rotation joint support housing
and the flinger rear end face before and after insertion, and check
that the two measured values are identical.
For details, see Section 9.4 "COUPLING SELECTION" in Part
IV.)
(*11)These values are to be used only as guidance for selecting a
power supply module and are not guaranteed.
(*12)The protection grade (IEC34-5) is IP40. However, the grade is
IP54 when the labyrinth seal on the front side of the output axis
and the flinger seal on the rear side are excluded.
Ensure that the labyrinth seal and flinger seal are not directly
exposed to coolant and mist.
