ble and can ignite and burn at high intensity, which creates toxic fumes. Additionally,
machining can cause high heat to develop resulting in demagnetization.
•
Use
– The magnet arrays must never be used to lift any objects. The MagneMotion
magnet arrays must only be used for propulsion with a MagneMotion motor by attach-
ing the array to a vehicle.
•
Storage
– Store magnet arrays in appropriate storage or shipping containers (shielded
with steel or isolated). Never leave magnet arrays unattended outside the storage con-
tainers. If unshielded magnet arrays must be left unattended, the area must be marked
with a Magnetic Hazard Sign in accordance with the applicable facility, local, and
national safety codes for the installation site.
•
Handling
– Appropriate handling is required. Handle only one magnet array at a time.
If an array is attracted to another object, DO NOT attempt to stop it. Wearing gloves
and safety glasses when handling the magnet arrays is recommended. Inspect the area
before handling the magnet arrays and make sure it is free of other magnet arrays or
ferromagnetic materials.
•
Temperature
– If the temperature of the magnet arrays gets over approximately 80° C
[176° F], the magnets begin to lose field strength irreversibly. A maximum operating
temperature of 50° C [122° F] and maximum storage and shipping temperatures of
60° C [140° F] is recommended.
•
Signage
– Make sure that appropriate cautionary signage is in place in all locations
where the magnet arrays are located. Signage must be in accordance with the applica-
ble facility, local, and national safety codes for the installation site.
Shipping Magnet Arrays
Magnet arrays being shipped, for return to MagneMotion or to another facility, must be
shipped per U.S. Department of Transportation and The International Air Transport Associa-
tion (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations.
