LDAT-Series Integrated Linear Thrusters
Rockwell Automation Publication LDAT-IN001B-EN-P - March 2020
Before You Begin
Keep the packaging material on the linear thruster to minimize the possibility of it tipping. Do
not remove any of the corrugated or foam inserts until the linear thruster is at the installation
area. Leave corrugated cardboard tube on slider until the linear thruster has been installed in its
final location. If necessary for accessory installation cut the cardboard sleeve to gain access to the
slider ends.
Overhead lifting is the recommended method for removing the linear thruster from its
container. Eye bolts are supplied with linear thrusters of frame 50 and larger and are taped to one
of the slider protective tubes.
ATTENTION:
To avoid personal injury and structural damage to the linear thruster, never attempt
lift or move the linear thruster by any means other than those listed in this publication.
ATTENTION:
High force magnets are located inside the corrugated cardboard tubes that cover the
sliders. The corrugated tubes reduce, but does not eliminate magnetic attraction forces.
ATTENTION:
Be sure that the load ratings of the lifting device, slings, hooks and shackles have a
lifting capacity rated equal to or greater than the load. Failure to do so may result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage. For your system’s specific weight, refer to the system nameplate label
or shipping weights on the packing slip.
