Safety Procedures and Warnings
DANGER: Hot surfaces. The case temperature could exceed 70°C.
Do not touch the motor while it is in operation.
l
Wait until the motor has cooled before you touch it.
l
DANGER: The motor is not rated for use in explosive atmospheres. Do not operate the
motor in the presence of potentially explosive mixtures of air-borne dust or combustible
vapors.
IMPORTANT: Equipment grounds must be in place and maintained to reduce the risk of
serious or potentially fatal injury from electric shock.
DANGER: Strong Magnets / Electromagnetic Fields
Motors and their associated drive, cables, and components are sources of elec-
l
tromagnetic fields. Persons with implanted medical devices need to evaluate the risks
associated with these devices before they can enter an area where the devices are in use.
Strong rare-earth magnets are present in the motor. Interaction with metallic objects
l
(tools, watches, or keys, for example) could produce pinch injuries or damage to the
equipment.
Use non-magnetic tools when you do service to the motor.
l
DANGER: System travel can cause crush, shear, or pinch injuries. Restrict access to all
motor and stage parts while your system is connected to a power source.
Do not put yourself in the travel path of machinery.
l
Motors are capable of very high speeds and acceleration rates.
