1.4 Liability NTI AG (as manufacturer of LinMot and MagSpring products) excludes all liability for damages and expenses caused by incorrect use of the products. This also applies to false applications, which are caused by NTI AG's own data and notes, for example in the course of sales, support or application activities.
Before working, make sure that there are no high voltages. Fast-moving Machine Parts The sliders of LinMot linear motors are fast-moving machine parts. All necessary precautions must be taken to prevent persons approaching the moving elements during operation (provide covers, guards, etc.).
Page 6
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.
Module type 3.2 FM01 Linear Module LinMot FM01 linear modules are moving stator applications with tubular linear motors for use in industrial and commercial installations. The mechanical construction is based on a special aluminium profile to which a high- precision profile rail guide is attached. Use of ball bearings in the carriages guarantee a reliable and smooth operation, support of external forces, torques and bending moments.

MD01 = Carriage with fixed stator (standard for stroke < 1000 mm) • MD02 = Carriage with flexible stator (standard for stroke > 1000 mm) Variant "BE01": The carriage of the linear module is equipped with 1 bearing on the profile rail. NTI AG / LinMot FM01-37 Page 9 / 63...
(see illustration). 3.6 Option external sensor Next to the LinMot linear stator’s own integrated position sensors, both incremental and absolute external encoders are available as an option for the FM01 moduls. Together with a magnetic band, the external sensors provide a high-resolution linear measurement system.
