• When choosing wheel materials, consider the life expectancy of the wheel material
and the noise level as they move on the guideway (e.g., across the joints in a
straight/curved guideway).
• Off-centered and/or large payloads can affect system performance.
Motors
The MagneMover LITE motors can be mounted either right side up or upside down. Other
orientations may be possible, please contact MMI Technical Support for additional informa-
tion. MM LITE motors do not have a required direction, the upstream and downstream ends
are automatically defined during configuration. Forward vehicle (puck) motion using the MM
LITE motors is from upstream to downstream, however vehicles can move backwards (down-
stream to upstream) if required.
NOTE: If the motor is mounted on an incline or vertically, the motor will not hold a vehicle
(puck) in place during startup, restarts, or if power is lost.
Before designing a MagneMover LITE transport system, review the following information:
• Desired throughput.
• Maximum payload.
• Total transport length.
• Transport topography.
• Move time.
• Vehicle length.
Once these characteristics are known, identify additional requirements:
• Accommodations for track length and topology.
• Refer to Figure 4-1 on page 4-3 through Figure 4-6 on page 4-8 for Magne-
Mover LITE motor mechanical drawings.
• Refer to Figure 4-7 on page 4-9 and Figure 4-8 on page 4-10 for MagneMover
LITE switch mechanical drawings (the MM LITE switches are not available in
railless versions).
• Refer to Figure 4-9 on page 4-11 and Figure 4-10 on page 4-12 for mounting
bracket and stand mechanical drawings.
• Refer to Figure 4-11 on page 4-13 through Figure 4-13 on page 4-15 for puck
mechanical drawings. Refer to Figure 4-14 on page 4-16 through Figure 4-16
on page 4-18 for tandem puck mechanical drawings.
• Refer to Figure 4-17 on page 4-19 and Figure 4-18 on page 4-20 for magnet
array mechanical drawings.
• Refer to Figure 4-24 on page 4-26 through Figure 4-32 on page 4-33 for Preci-
sion Rail option mechanical drawings.
