11.2.1 Precautions for installing linear motors

The Delta linear motor is designed for industrial applications. It is necessary that you fully read
11
the motor specifications and operation manual. For your safety and correct use of the linear
motor, read the precautions carefully before connecting the motor to any equipment.
The safety precautions are as follows:
Handling, mounting, and storage
 When removing or placing the coil assembly of the linear motor, do not drag the cable.
 Do not hit the coil assembly. Impact force will damage the coil assembly and the wiring ends.
 Do not remove or place the magnet shaft of the linear motor near any magnetic objects;
otherwise, the magnet shaft may be demagnetized. Make sure the assembly procedure for
the magnet shaft is complete before you proceed to the next assembly step.
 Do not hit the magnet shaft. Impact force will damage the magnets.
The mover of the flat type linear motor is iron core. During installation, keep a distance of

at least 30 cm (11.8 inches) between the iron core mover and the magnet shaft to avoid
attractions, which may cause personnel injury.
 Do not touch the linear motor during operation because its temperature is high. If you need
to disassemble the linear motor, power off the motor and wait for the motor to cool down
before disassembling.
 The magnet shaft has ferromagnetism, so avoid using tools or screws that are magnetic;
otherwise, it may cause personnel injury when the magnet shaft attracts the tools or screws.
 Use a torque wrench when fastening the screws and set the tightening torque based on
the screw size.
 The coil assembly and magnet shaft of the linear motor are neither waterproof nor oilproof.
Do not store, install, or use the linear motor in an environment that contains water, oil
liquids, corrosive and inflammable gases, or is with high humidity.
The material of the coil assembly is not rustproof. Although rustproof oil has been applied

to the coil assembly during the manufacturing process, you must check the coil assembly
condition and apply rustproof oil every three months if storing the motor for more than
six months.
 Ensure that the environmental conditions for storing the linear motor conform to the
specifications in the instruction sheet.
