Wheeled Puck Wear Surface Maintenance

Inspect the wheeled pucks that are used on the MagneMover LITE transport system to make
sure of even wear on the puck wheels and to make sure that the wear is not excessive. If there
is uneven wear, the pucks may require being rotated to make sure of even wear on the wheels.
Uneven wear is especially likely for pucks that are used in a transport system where all motion
is in one direction, for pucks in a tandem puck configuration, or for pucks that have a cantile-
vered or high inertia payload. For wheeled pucks, if the wear is excessive (typically greater
than 8,000 km travel for the lateral guide wheels and bumpers, and 16,000 km travel for the
suspension wheels) see
NOTE: Rotating the pucks (vehicles) is only done for vehicles where the magnet array is
centered on the vehicle. For vehicles where the magnet array is not centered (for
example, the precision rail vehicle), the design of the vehicle determines if it is pos-
sible to rotate the vehicle.

MAGNETIC FIELD HAZARD: Strong magnets in use.
To avoid severe injury, people with pacemakers and other
medical electronic implants must stay away from the magnet
array on the vehicles (pucks).
PINCH/CRUSH HAZARD: Strong magnets in use.
To avoid injury from strong magnetic attractive forces:
• Handle only one vehicle (puck) or magnet array at a time.
• Do not place any body parts (for example, fingers)
between a magnet array and any ferrous material or
another magnet array.
• Vehicles (pucks) and magnet arrays not being used must
be secured individually in isolated packaging.
Strong magnets in use.
To avoid damage to watches, instruments, electronics, and
magnetic media, keep metal tools, metal objects, magnetic
media (for example, memory disks/chips, credit cards, and
tapes) and electronics away from the magnet arrays.
