Caution and Matters
8-1
Warnings: In a motor near the end its life, or under
breakdown conditions, short circuits can develop
between commutator segments. Uncontrolled voltage may
then leak into the power source circuit. Motors may
overheat or fail if run continuously with its rotor
locked condition or under excessive loads.
8-2
Destructive atmospheres: Do not use and store the
motor in the corrosive gas atmosphere (H²S, SO², NO²,
Cl², etc.), or substances that can emit toxic gases,
such as organic silicon, cyanide, formalin, or phenol
compounds. The motor may get serious damages.
8-3
Condensation: Condensation on the electrical circuits
can destroy the motor or control circuits. Monitor the
environment and undertake measures to prevent
condensation, such as installing condensation sensors
to cut power when necessary.
8-4
Be aware of the following factors and perform
necessary tests to check a motor’s ability to adopt
with your mechanism and applications: Motor life,
electric noise, mechanical noise, vibration,
static-electrical noise resistance, power-source noise
resistance, drift of rpm, electrical resonance between
control circuit and motor, mechanical resonance
between subassembly and motor malfunction due to motor
noise, electrical magnetic interference, malfunction
due to magnetic flux leakage, destruction due to
lightning-related power surge, grounding.
8-5
Some particular plastic materials can crack and fail
after exposure to motor bearing oil. Perform test the
motor in/on the subassembly to check the influence of
the oiled plastic parts.
8-6
Avoid connecting a serial resistor to the motor if
at all possible, as this can negatively affect
reliability. If this is unavoidable, keep resistance
as low as possible and test thoroughly for reliability
before using.
8-7
When testing for UL, CSA or other safely standards,
apply for approval for the entire subassembly.
8-8
Do not store motors under conditions of extreme
temperatures or high humidity, or for longer than six
months even room conditions. When removing out of
packaging after storage, take precautions to prevent
condensation.
8-9
Connections: Complete soldering operations within
three seconds to prevent damage to leads and
terminals. Make sure that the soldering tip does not
exceed 350°C. Be gentle with terminals; dents or
pressure on them can lock up the motor.
8-10
Please consults us in advance when design
considerations call for forcefully stalling the motor
using a short circuit at the terminal or reverse
voltage. Such operations can shorten product life.
