Caution: Handling Instructions for Sliders

LinMot Slider
®
LinMot Linear Motor sliders must be handled with care especially if not assembled within the stator!
Damaging or warping of the slider can result in shortened life and/or failure of the motor. The slider is
essentially a high-precision machine component consisting of neodymium magnets and plastic
materials assembled in a thin steel tube. Do not use sliders who are already damaged on the surface
(scratches, deformation, etc.). This can provide a further damage of the stator! Keep slider away from
unshielded flame or heat. Temperature of more than 120°C will cause demagnetization.
Magnetism
®
LinMot sliders contain neodymium magnets which may disturb or damage magnetic data carriers and
delicate electronic equipment merely by coming close to them. Examples for such equipment are:
television and computer monitors, credit cards and EC-cards, computers, floppy discs and other data
storage medium, video tapes, mechanical watches, hearing devices and loudspeaker. Heart pacemakers
can be disturbed by strong magnets. Keep a minimum distance of 1m.
Crushes
When handling sliders be aware that, due the strong magnetic attraction, serious injury from fingers being
pinched between the slider and nearby steel parts is a very real possibility if caution is not exercised.
No modification of sliders provided by customers is allowed!
Do not modify the slider in any way. Any modification could destroy the included magnets and magnet dust
can be build. Magnet dust is easily inflammable! NdFeB-Magnets are not made of steel. These magnets
are sintered and due to that highly breakable.
