Installation

Vacuum installation
For installation of vacuum motors special instructions are required, these
instructions can be found in the vacuum appendix.
Before installing the Linear Motor components, the installation of the
mounting frame should be completed. The slide should be provided with
bearings, dampers, linear probe and required cabling in such a way that
a smooth, save and well positioned transport of the slide over the stroke
is established. The ruler should be properly positioned and fixed to the
frame. The operation of bearings and dampers should be tested as well as
the guidance of the moving cables.
The correct installation order is for electrical safety reasons:
1. Mount the magnet yokes to the mounting surface of the machine.
2. Mount the coil unit to the involved machine parts
3. Connect the wiring to the coil unit.
From a magnetic point of view the installation order of the mechanics is
not critical, because no attraction is present between the coil unit and
magnet yokes.
The de-installation order is:
1. Disconnect the wiring from the coil unit.
2. Dismount the coil unit from the machine parts.
3. Dismount the magnet yokes from the machine's mounting surface
Before mounting the Linear Motor, special attention must be paid tot the
mounting surface of the motor.
