1.6 Mechanical Installation
Dimensions overview see (➜ # 212). For dimension drawings and cabinet mounting refer to
the Installation Manual.
1.6.1 Important Notes
Risk of electrical shock, if drive (or motor) is not properly EMC-grounded.
Protect the drive from impermissible stresses. In particular, do not let any components
become bent or any insulation distances altered during transport and handling. Avoid con-
tact with electronic components and contacts.
The drive will switch itself off in case of overheating. Ensure that there is an adequate flow
of cool, filtered air into the bottom of the control cabinet, or use a heat exchanger.
Do not mount devices that produce magnetic fields directly beside the drive. Strong mag-
netic fields can directly affect internal components. Install devices which produce magnetic
field with distance to the drives and/or shield the magnetic fields.
1.6.2 Guide to Mechanical Installation
The following tools are required (at a minimum) to install the AKD; your specific installation
may require additional tools:
Dimensions and mounting hole positions depend on the drive variant.
Install the drive unit as follows:
1. Prepare the site.
2. Check ventilation.
3. Check cooling system.
4. Mount the drive.
5. Ground the drive.

CAUTION
High EMC Voltage Level!
Do not use painted (i.e. non-conductive) mounting plates.
Observe the hints in chapter "Recommendations for EMI noise reduction"in the AKD
Installation Manual
M4 hexagon socket-cap screws (ISO 4762)
3 mm T-handle Allen key
No. 2 Phillips head screwdriver
Small slotted screwdriver
Mount the drive in a closed control cabinet (➜ # 14). The site must be free from con-
ductive or corrosive materials. For the mounting position in the cabinet see Installation
Manual.
Check that the ventilation of the drive is unimpeded, and keep within the permitted ambi-
ent temperature (➜ # 14). Keep the required space clearance above and below the drive.
If cooling systems are used for the control cabinet, position the cooling system so that
condensation water cannot drip onto the drive or peripheral devices.
Assemble the drive and power supply near each other on the conductive, grounded mount-
ing plate in the cabinet.
For EMC-compliant shielding and grounding see Installation Manual. Ground the mounting
plate, motor housing and CNC-GND of the control system.
