Lifting primary sections

NOTICE
Damage to the primary section when incorrectly lifted
Improper use of lifting equipment and slings can lead to permanent deformation and
damage to the primary section.
• Always ensure the primary section is horizontal when lifting and transporting it.
• To fasten the suspension ropes for lifting the primary section, use
• To lift and transport in a horizontal position, screw in the eye bolts in diagonally
• If the unit must be lifted and transported in a vertical position, you must screw in the eye
• The locating surfaces of the eye bolts must positioned flat and over the whole surface
• Observe the specifications for thread depths and screw-in depths in the primary section
• All of the suspension ropes must be the same length.
• Two suspension ropes and two eyebolts are sufficient to lift and transport the primary
• If you use four suspension ropes and four eye bolts, the load is optimally distributed,
• The positioning of the primary section with suspension ropes on the provided installation

(Specifications for mounting linear motors (Page 140)).
The values cited in this chapter also apply to the eye bolts.
If the threaded pins of the eye bolts are too long, you must ensure that the maximum
screw-in depth is adhered to, using washers if necessary.
When lifting and transporting in a horizontal position, the taut suspension ropes must
form an angle of at least 50° between the rope and the primary section. The center of
gravity of the primary section must be centered between the threaded holes that are
used and lie vertically under the hook of the crane.
