Handling with Linearmotor-axis
5.1
Carriage
The linear motor axis should always be transported in a
horizontal orientation, since the carriage of the linear
motor is not self-locking in a vertical orientation.
For linear motors with cover (Lxe) is a risk to bend the
steel cover plate. It is to be careful not to carry the linear
motor on the cover plate.
5.2
Measuring system
Incorrect handling of the linear motor axes with a
magnetic measuring system could erase parts of the
magnetic measuring tape. Prevent magnets, e.g. from
other motors, and measuring tape from colliding.
Incorrect handling of the linear motor axes with optical
measuring system can scratch the glass scale and thus
lead to errors. Keep it clean and do not touch it directly
with your hand. To clean the optical measuring system,
use a lint-free cloth and cleaning spirit.
