Reducing the length of the supplied motor cable may damage the motor. Do not attempt to shorten the cable without prior confirmation from Nanomotion. Extending the motor cable will not damage the motor, however it will affect its performance. HR8 Motor User Manual...
Introduction About the Motor The HR8 motors are high precision ceramic motors belonging to the Nanomotion LN2000 product line. Designed and manufactured by Nanomotion, Ltd., the HR8 motors, combine unlimited stroke with high resolution in compact dimensions. Among its applications are microscopy, precision motion, robotics, etc.
Be sure that the motor, and specifically the 'finger tips', are not subjected to mechanical shocks. Installation and Servicing It is recommended to follow the installation instructions in this guide, when mounting and installing the motor. The HR8 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. HR8 Motor User Manual...
Preparation For optimal motor performance, it is recommended to use the Ceramic driving plate provided by Nanomotion. These driving plates have been specifically designed to work with Nanomotion motors. Substituting this plate with any other material might reduce motor performance or damage the motor.
For driving plate dimensions please refer to the price list. The four screws securing the motor to the mounting surface will be inserted from its underside. Any protrusion of the screws might interfere with motion on another axis. HR8 Motor User Manual...
The Ceramic driving plate should also be at least 20 mm longer than the stage travel length, otherwise the motor finger tips might be damaged. If the above requirements are not met, limit the stage travel distance using end stops. HR8 Motor User Manual...
Bond the driving plate to the stage surface interfacing with the motor 'finger tips', according to the instructions given in this section. S ta g e C e ra m ic D rivin g P la te Figure 2-2: Bonding the Ceramic Driving Plate HR8 Motor User Manual...

3. Secure the terminal between the two lock washers. 4. Connect the other end of this cable to the electrical network ground. 5. Connect the motor to its driver according to the instructions given in the following section. HR8 Motor User Manual...
This section describes the motor connector pinout and the connections to each of the available drivers. Make sure the driver is set to operate with the HR8 motor series. CAUTIONS: Reducing the length of the supplied motor cable may damage the motor.
Chapter 2. Preparation and Installation For Ultra High Vacuum motor: The HR8 –1-U motor does not have an outlet cable or a connector. Instead, there are 3 TFE jacketed wires extending outside the motor: 1 black wire, 1 red and 1 white wire. The red and white wires are direction 1 and 2 respectively, and the black wire is the common.
When the run–in is completed, carefully clean the ceramic strip with a Q-Tip soaked with IPA, without dismounting the motor. General remarks: 1. The procedure should be repeated if the motor is disconnected and then reinstalled. 2. Do not perform run-in in a vacuum environment. HR8 Motor User Manual 2-12...
