Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Prevention
Signal cables can be affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI). When installing them near high cables or high-current equipment, maintain current equipment, maintain sufficient distance or use shielding to prevent EMI Signal cables can be affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Draft Cable Installation & Management Guide

Avoid Sharp Edges
If there are sharp edges along the cable routing path, protect the cable jacket from damage by using protective tubes, sleeves, or rubber pads.
Maintain Proper Distance
Cable must be secured with sufficient spacing to prevent interference with other equipment or cables. In environments where vibration occurs, ensure that the cables do not rub continuously against other components to avoid damage.
Cable Connection
Cable Lock Nut: After connecting the cable to the connector, be sure to securely tighten the nut.

The nut serves to prevent the cable connector from coming loose. Even when the nut is tightened securely, liquids such as oil or water from the work environment may still enter through the gaps in the connector.
Cable Bending and Movement Management
Observe Minimum Bending Radius
Do not bend the cable excessively or cram it into tight spaces. Overbending the cable can damage or break the internal wires, regardless of the cable’s material or outer diameter. This is an important guideline applicable to all cables.
Draft Cable Installation & Management Guide

The minimum bending radius is 5 times the cable’s outer diameter (O.D.).
For example, if the cable outer diameter is 10mm, the minimum bending radius is 50 \mm.
However, within 300mm from the cable connector (point a), the minimum bending radius should be 15 times the cable’s outer diameter.

Minimize Repeated Bending
Avoid environments where the cable is repeatedly bent or twisted. In areas with continuous bending, use CABLE CHAIN or flexible protective CABLE SLEEVE to reduce cable wear. For processes with frequent driver movement, we recommend using Mountz Durable Cables.

Heavy Duty Cable maintains the minimum bending radius of the connector and protects the cable from stress caused by forces in various directions.

When Securing to a Bracket
When using cables in automated equipment such as cabinet frames or robot arms, ensure there is enough extra length so the cable can bend naturally according to the equipment’s movement.
Use rubber pads or protective tubes to prevent the sharp edges of metal brackets from damaging the cable’s outer cover. When securing the cable, consider the shape of both the bracket and the cable, and secure it loosely enough to prevent interference with the equipment’s movement. When tightening the bracket, make sure the cable retains its original shape and the outer cover is not compressed.
If the cable is fixed too tightly, the fastening pressure and bending stress may concentrate on a single point, which can lead to failure. In such cases, use a strain relief clamp or clip to protect the cable.

The section secured with a clamp must follow the minimum bending radius.

Caution for Use
Manual Review and Installation Preparation
Be sure to read the product manual thoroughly and fully understand the installation procedures before starting. Always turn off all power sources before beginning the installation to ensure safety.
Cable Connection Check
Ensure that the cable connector is properly connected to the appropriate ports on both the controller and the driver. Be careful not to damage the connector pins during this process.
Cable Securing and Length Management
Cable Securing: To prevent cables from getting caught in the work area or causing tripping hazards, secure them in appropriate locations using cable clamps or trays. Maintain Proper Length: Maintain an appropriate cable length within the work area—neither too short nor too long. If the cable is too short, it may restrict driver operation; if too long, it can cause entanglement or snagging, leading to tension. Cable Management: After installation, check that the cables are neatly organized. Bundle any unnecessarily long cables or arrange them using cable ducts.
Driver Drop and Cable Tension Management
To prevent the driver from dropping during operation or the cable from being subjected to excessive tension, attach safety devices such as a spring balancer, safety hook, or driver stand directly to the driver to distribute its weight. Never hang the driver by the cable.

Incorrect Way
Cable Twist Prevention
In manual work environments, cables can get twisted when they are put down again and again after use. Using a twisted cable can damage the wires inside and cause signal problems or breaks, so be careful.

Regular Inspection and Maintenance
Check Insulation Condition: Check the cable for any damaged outer covering. If any damage is found, do not attempt to repair it yourself; replace the cable immediately.
