12 Installation
Installing the Linear Motor Use the following procedures to install the magnet channel and the motor coil
to create a linear motor.
Mount the Magnet Channel
The required tools are:
• magnet channel alignment tool (supplied).
• aluminum straight edge.
• non-magnetic M4 or M5 hex wrench.
Use M6 SHCS for channel mounting configuration A, or M5 SHCS for
channel mounting configuration B and C see diagram on page 14. See
Specifications and Dimensions starting on page 31 for quantity.
Use the follow steps to safely install your magnet channel on to the mounting
surface.
1. Be sure to the mounting surface is clear of any and all of foreign matter.
If necessary the surface maybe stoned (acetone or methanol may be
used as cleaning agent).
2. Verify the flatness of the surface to which the magnet channel is to be
mounted.
The total indicator reading (TIR) is 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) per 300 mm
(12 in.). TIR or runout, correlates to an overall flatness of a surface.
ATTENTION
To avoid injury or damage from unexpected motion of the
channel caused by the magnetic attraction between channels,
maintain a minimum distance of 1.2 m (5 ft) between the
channel that are being installed and the channels awaiting
installation. Leave protective cardboard and conductive metal
plates in place until the installation is performed.
ATTENTION
Do not use abrasives to clean the surface.
