2. Basic safety notices
DANGER!
Danger from strong magnetic fields!
Strong magnetic fields around linear motor systems pose a health risk to persons with implants (e.g.
cardiac pacemakers) that are affected by magnetic fields.
Persons with implants that are affected by magnetic fields should maintain a safe distance of at
least 1 m from linear motor systems.
ATTENTION!
Risk of physical damage to watches and magnetic storage media.
Strong magnetic forces may destroy watches and magnetisable data storage media near to the
linear motor system!
Do not bring watches or magnetisable data storage media into the vicinity (<300 mm) of the
linear motor systems!
2.1 Intended use
The linear motor system is a linear drive and guiding system for the precise positioning of fixed mounted loads, e.g.
system components within an automated system, in terms of time and location.
The LMX and LMAP linear motor systems are designed for installation and operation in horizontal positions and
therefore do not feature parking brakes in their standard versions. In the case of vertical assembly, a parking brake,
weight compensation device or both must be retrofitted. The loads to be moved must either be mounted on to the
forcer or the base.
The linear axes can be mounted on top of one another to create multi-axis systems.
The specified linear motor systems may not be used outdoors or in hazardous areas where there is a risk of
explosions. All linear motor systems may only be used for the stated intended purpose.
●
The linear motor system must be operated within its specified performance limits (See Technical Information and
the Approval Drawing).
●
Observation of the user manual and compliance with the maintenance and repair regulations are prerequisites
for the intended use of the linear motor systems.
●
Any other use of the linear motor system shall be considered as contrary to the intended use.
●
Use only genuine spare parts from HIWIN MIKROSYSTEM.
2.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The linear motor systems must not be operated:
●
Outdoors
●
In potentially explosive atmospheres
2.3 Conversions and modifications
Modifications of the linear motor systems are not permitted! Please contact HIWIN MIKROSYSTEM for special
request.
