2 Safety instructions
Contusions
Sliders contain neodynium magnets and have a strong attractive force.
Careless handling could cause fingers or skin to become pinched between two sliders.
This may lead to contusions, bruises, and bone fractures.
When handling sliders, wear thick protective gloves and keep a minimum distance between
sliders. Refer to the "Minimum distance from slider" section for minimum distance.
To reduce the risk of injury, never more than one slider should be held or transported by the
same person without packaging.
Pacemaker / Implanted heart defibrillator
Sliders could affect the functioning of pacemakers and implanted heart defibrillators. For the
duration of a strong approach to a magnetic field, these devices switch into test mode and
will not function properly.
•
If you wear one of those devices keep the following minimum distances between the
pacemaker / defibrillator and slider:
-
Min. 250 mm (10ʺ) for slider Ø 27 mm and 28 mm (PL01-27 / 28 / PL10-28)
-
Min. 150 mm (6ʺ) for slider Ø 19 mm and 20 mm (PL01-19 / 20)
-
Min. 100 mm (4ʺ) for slider Ø 12 mm (PL01-12)
•
Inform others who wear these devices to comply with these minimum distances!
Caution - Risk of Electric Shock !
Before working, make sure that there are no high voltages.
Fast-moving machine parts
The sliders of LinMot linear motors are fast-moving machine parts. All necessary
precautions must be taken to prevent access during operation (provide covers, guards,
etc.).
Automatic restart
The motors can start automatically under certain cricumstances!
If necessary, a corresponding warning symbol must be provided and protection against
entering the hazardous area or a suitable safe electronic disconnection must be provided!
Risk of injury due to a defect or fault
For areas where a defect or fault can result in substantial property damage or even serious
personal injury, additional external precautions must be taken or devices must be installed
to ensure safe operation even if a defect or fault occurs (eg. suitable safe electronic
disconnection, mechanical interlocks, barriers, etc.).
Magnetic field
Magnets integrated in the sliders produce a strong magnetic field. They could damage TVs,
laptops, computer hard drives, credit and ATM cards, data storage media, mechanical
watches, hearing aids, and speakers.
•
Keep magnets away from devices and objects that could be damaged by strong
magnetic fields.
•
For the above mentioned objects, keep a minimum distance as described in the
"Pacemaker / implanted defibrillator" section.
•
For non-anti-magnetic watches, keep the double minimum distance.
