Trial run
To prevent accidents, collisions and possible errors in the
programming, move the linear unit along the stroke several times at
such a low speed that it can be stopped in good time in case of an
emergency.
The line may be started up once it has been established that there is no
risk of collision when the maximum travel is overrun.

Operation
The drive motor can heat up considerably during operation.
In this case, refer to the operating instructions supplied for the drive
motor.
In addition, hazards can occur due to noise, tilting and falling, failure to
observe ergonomic principles, and the surroundings in which the unit is
used.
Various combinations of hazards are also possible.
These items should be analysed by the manufacturer or operator of the
overall installation in a separate risk assessment.
Risk of damage from harmful environmental influences!
Operate the linear unit only under the ambient conditions approved by
the manufacturers.
Ambient conditions
Operate the linear unit only within the permissible temperature range of
0 … 80 °C.
If the linear unit is operated in moist, abrasive medium, foreign bodies
may penetrate it. To prevent that, the operating company must take
appropriate measures to prevent intrusion of foreign bodies, such as by
installing deflectors, baffle plates or air barriers.
Duty of inspection
The proper functioning of the linear unit must be checked periodically
during operation.
The responsible personnel must check the linear unit and the line for
external signs of damage and defects at least once every shift.
If changes occur which are detrimental to safety, shut down the line
immediately.
Emergency stop
The maximum permissible load values must not be exceeded even
in an emergency stop situation.
As a rule, the category 1 emergency stop strategy (targeted braking
to standstill, then de-energise) is chosen for automation equipment
with moving masses. A simple emergency stop strategy is not
usually effective, as the masses are still moving and can cause
damage.
End position
damping
The end stops and stop buffers installed in our linear modules
protect the unit at low speed (commissioning). They are definitely not
intended to completely protect the unit against damage at high
speed and/or with a large mass.
