Chapter 2: Assembly and Installation
WARNING: To prevent injury or damage to the equipment, you will need devices in
place that will prevent unexpected motion in the event of an intentional or
unintentional disruption of electrical power. Applications with vertical axes require a
fail-safe brake.
A linear motor consists of two main components, a forcer and a magnet track. Interaction between
the forcer and magnet track produces a force to cause linear motion. The controller, amplifier, and
position feedback devices provide for the correct commutation and position of the motor.
The linear motor can be configured in two different ways. The magnet track can be held stationary
while the forcer moves or the forcer can be held stationary while the magnet track moves.
