Safety Considerations Chapter 1
Operational Guidelines Please read and follow the guidelines shown here to safely operate
the linear motor created from the these linear motor components.
ATTENTION
Observe maximum safe speed. Linear motors are capable of
very high forces, accelerations, and speeds. The maximum
obtainable acceleration and speed is based on the drive output
(bus voltage and current settings). The allowable maximum
speed is application specific and partly based on the linear
motion mechanics supplied by others.
ATTENTION
Moving parts can cause injury. Before operating the linear
motor, make sure all components are secure and magnet
mounting hardware is below magnet surface. Remove all
unused parts from the motor travel assembly to prevent them
from jamming in the motor air gap and damaging the coil or
flying off and causing bodily injury.
IMPORTANT
You are responsible for making sure the servo control system
safely controls the linear motor with regards to maximum safe
force, acceleration, and speed, including runaway conditions.
A runaway condition can be caused by incorrect motor, hall
effect, and position feedback wiring resulting in violent
uncontrolled motion.
ATTENTION
Keep away from the line of motor travel at all times. Always
have bumpers in place and securely fastened before applying
power to your linear motor.
ATTENTION
High Voltage can kill. Do not operate with exposed wires. Do
not go near electrically live parts.
