Rockwell Automation LC-Series Linear Motor - Manual (Page 21)

Item Number 814036 - Rev C
Installation 2-15
Motor Storage Motor storage area should be clean, dry, vibration free and have a relatively
constant temperature. The coil resistance measurement checks explained in
this manual should be done at time of storage. If a motor is stored on
equipment, it should be protected from the weather. All motor surfaces
subject to corrosion should be protected by applying a corrosion resistant
coating.
Mounting Motor Air Gap
Maintaining the air gap is a critical aspect that affects the linear motor
installation and operation. Referring to Coil and Cooling Plate drawing for
your specific motor. By maintaining installation envelope dimension in your
design the required air gap will be met. Figure 2.13 Typical Mounting Side
View shows a typical mounting measurement.

Motor Mechanical Installation Procedure
Linear motor components come with standard mounting holes. Use the
guidelines found in the following steps to maximize motor performance and
minimize the chance of motor damage.
ATTENTION
!
To avoid damage due to the magnetic attraction between
plates, maintain a minimum distance of five feet between
the magnet plates that are being installed and magnet plates
awaiting installation. Ensure that the supplied protective
devices (i.e. cardboard and metal plate) remain in place
until the installation processes is performed.
