Replace Precision Rail Vehicles
Precision Rail vehicles should be replaced if they become damaged or worn. Additionally,
vehicles may be added to, or removed from, the transport system if the quantity of vehicles in
use is not correct. If the transport system does not contain an open end that can be used to
insert or remove the vehicles, use the following procedure to replace the vehicles.
Required Tools and Equipment
•
Open end wrench, 13 mm, thin.
•
Socket wrench, 13 mm.
•
Torque wrench (0.9 - 26 N-m [8 - 230 in-lb] range) with the following socket:
•
13 mm Hex.
Vehicle Orientation
When installing the Precision Rail vehicles they must be installed with the eccentric bearings
on the outside, or stand side, of the rails. This locates the magnet array over the motors and
positions the bearings to allow motion through the curves.
of the bearings on a Precision Rail vehicle in relationship to the track system.
CAUTION
Strong Magnets
To avoid severe injury, people with pacemakers and other
medical electronic implants must stay away from the magnet
array on the vehicles.
To avoid injury from strong magnetic attractive forces:
•
Handle only one vehicle or magnet array at a time.
•
Do not place any body parts, such as fingers, between a
vehicle or magnet array and any ferrous material or
another magnet array.
•
Vehicles or magnet arrays not being used should be
secured individually in isolated packaging.
To avoid damage to watches, instruments, electronics, and
magnetic media, keep metal tools, metal objects, magnetic
media (memory disks/chips, credit cards, and tapes) and elec-
tronics away from the magnet arrays.
