Mechanical Handling
Neodymium magnets are brittle, heat-sensitive and oxidize easily. If two
magnets attract and collide, they can crack causing sharp splinters to be
catapulted for several meters, which can lead to eye injuries. The magnet
could also crack when drilling or sawing with improper tools. The arising heat
may cause the magnet to demagnetize, which in turn will cause the magnet
to disintegrate due to the damaged coating. Processing the sliders and the
therein contained magnets is not permitted.
Linear Motor Sliders
The sliders consist of highly precise, thin-walled stainless steel tubes, which
contain the magnets and are to be handled with extreme care. Prevent
contact to other sliders or iron parts, since this can cause damage to the
surface of the slider. Sliders with a damaged surface (scratches,
deformation, etc.) should not be used, due to the fact that they can cause
damage to the stator.
Effects on People
Based on current scientific knowledge, magnetic fields of permanent
magnets do not have a measurable positive or negative effects on people. It
is unlikely that permanent magnets constitute a health risk, but it cannot be
entirely ruled out. For your own safety, avoid constant contact with magnets
and store large magnets at least one meter away from your body.
Temperature Resistance
Keep sliders away from unshielded flames or heat.
Temperatures above 120°C will cause demagnetization.
