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.
