1 Safety
1.1 Protective equipment
Always wear suitable safety clothing and equipment for your personal protection.
1.2 Rotor with rare earth magnets
In B&R motors, rotors are installed with rare earth magnets with high magnetic energy densities.
Warning!
Personal injury and damage to property due to rare earth magnets!
The motors are not permitted to be disassembled into individual parts.
A magnetized rotor is not permitted to be transported or delivered outside the stator under any cir-
cumstances!
•
Due to the surrounding magnetic fields, the functionality of a pacemaker can be impaired in
such a way that it can lead to bodily harm or even death of the carrier.
•
The surrounding magnetic fields can affect or destroy electronic and mechanical measuring
instruments.
•
The strong magnetic attractive force can lead to uncontrolled movements of the magnet or the
attraction of other objects. Personal injury due to impacts or trapping is possible. If magnets
are splintered during collision, personal injury cannot be ruled out.
•
In potentially explosive atmospheres, a spark generated by magnets can lead to serious explo-
sions and cause personal injury and damage to property.
