Safety notes for mechanical mounting
WARNING
Danger to life from permanent magnet fields
Torque motor rotors are equipped with strong permanent magnets. This is the reason that
when the motors are open there are strong magnetic fields and high magnetic forces of
attraction. The permanent magnets in the motors represents a danger for people with active
medical implants, who come close to the motors. This is also the case when the motor is
switched off. Examples of active implants include: Heart pacemakers, metal implants,
insulin pumps. Further, people that have magnetic or electrically conductive implants are at
risk.
•
If you are such a person (with heart pacemaker or implant) then keep a minimum
distance of 300 mm from an opened motor.
WARNING
Danger to life when incorrectly mounting the motor
If you incorrectly mount the motor then there is a risk of severe injury and material damage.
•
Only carry out mounting and maintenance work at the motor if you are appropriately
qualified to do so.
•
Only work on the motor when the plant/system is in a no-voltage condition.
•
Use the cable slings provided when transporting the motors.
•
Thoroughly clean the connection flange of corrosion protection agent. Use commercially
available solvents to do this.
•
Rotate the output elements by hand. Remove the cause of possible grinding noise or
contact the manufacturer.
•
Use only spare parts approved by the manufacturer.
•
Ensure that the conditions at the installation site match the permissible ambient
conditions (e.g. temperature, installation altitude).
•
It is forbidden to use motors in hazardous zones unless they are explicitly designed for
these zones.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock
As a result of the permanent magnets in the rotor, when the motors rotate a voltage is
induced. If you use defective cable ports, you could suffer an electric shock.
•
Do not touch the cable ports.
•
Connect the motor cable ports correctly, or insulate them properly.
