Checking the work carried out

Risk of electric shock
Voltage is induced at the power connections of the primary section each time a primary section
moves with respect to a secondary section - and vice versa. If you touch the power connections
you may suffer an electric shock.
• Do not touch the power connections.
• Connect the motor cable ports correctly, or insulate them properly.
5.4.1

Smooth running of the slide

Checking the smooth running of the slide
The motor installation must be specially checked for the smooth running of the slide.
• Remove all tools and objects from the traversing range.
• Clean the magnetic surface with a cloth before moving the slide.
If the guidance system is precisely aligned, it must be possible to move the moving part
of the motor with a force that remains constant over the entire traversing range. A slight
fluctuation in force is permissible. The force fluctuation results from the system-related
cogging force of the linear motor.
• If excessive sluggishness results locally, check the installation height and the alignment of
the guide system.
Note
Increased shifting force or force ripple
When checking the smooth running of the slide, ensure that the power connections of the motor
cable are not connected to the drive. In addition, the power connections must not be "short-
circuited". In these cases, a greater shifting force or force ripple occurs.
