Installation Guide Linear Modules
Combustibility
When machining magnets, the drilling dust could easily ignite.
Machining the sliders and the magnets they contain is not permitted.
Burn Hazard
During operation the slider can become hotter than 100 °C, which can cause burns if
touched. All necessary precautions (e.g. covers, casing, etc.) must be taken to prevent
contact with persons in the vicinity of the slider during operation.
Grounding
All metal parts that are exposed to contact during any user operation or servicing and likely
to become energized shall be reliably connected to the means for grounding.
Mechanical Handling
Neodymium magnets are brittle and heat-sensitive.
Machining the sliders and the magnets they contain is not permitted.
•
Colliding magnets could crack. Sharp splinters could be catapulted for several meters
and cause eye injury.
•
By machining the sliders, heat would result which demagnetizes the magnets.
Slider
Linear motor sliders consist of a high-precision, thin-walled stainless steel tube in which the
neodymium magnets are housed. The LinMot sliders should be handled with care.
Avoid contact with other sliders or iron parts as this can damage the magnets and the slider
surface. Do not grip the sliders with pliers, as this can also damage the surface. Do not use
sliders which are already damaged on the surface (scratches, deformation, etc.). This can
cause further damage to the stator.
Effects on People
According to the current level of knowledge, magnetic fields of permanent magnets do not
have a measurable positive or negative effect on people. It is unlikely that permanent
magnets constitute a health risk, but it cannot be ruled out entirely.
•
For your own safety, avoid constant contact with magnets.
•
Store large magnets at least one meter away from your body.
Temperature Resistance
Keep slider away from unshielded flame or heat.
Temperature above 120°C will cause demagnetization.
