Motor-Related Warnings

Aerotech motors are capable of producing high forces and velocities. Obey all warnings and all
applicable codes and standards when you operate a system that incorporates Aerotech motors.
DANGER: Mechanical Hazard!
Personnel must be made aware of the mechanical hazards during set up or when you
do service to the stage.
When the system is not electrically energized (disabled), linear stage/motors can still
l
allow a stage carriage to move freely. This can create mechanical hazards such as
pinch or crush points.
Unintentional manual movement into the stage "end-of-travel" stops, could damage
l
the stage or undo precision alignments.
Stage movement could create pinch points, entanglement hazards, or rotational
l
mechanical hazards.
DANGER: Hot Surface Hazard!
The stage/motor frame temperature could exceed 70°C in some applications.
l
Do not touch the stage/motor frame while it is in operation.
l
Wait until the stage/motor has cooled before you touch it.
l
DANGER: Risk of Explosive Atmosphere!
Standard Aerotech stage/motors are not rated for applications with explosive
l
atmospheres such as airborne dust or combustible vapors.
Do not operate stage/motors outside of Aerotech environmental specifications.
l
DANGER: Magnetic Field Hazard!
Aerotech stage/motors contain magnets which can present a Magnetic Field Hazard.
Do not disassemble a stage motor under any circumstances.
l
Strong magnetic fields could interfere with external/internal medical devices.
l
Strong magnetic fields could present mechanical hazards such as pinch points.
