Installation Precautions

NGER
The Magnetic Way of a Linear Servomotor uses a strong permanent magnet. To ensure safety
and prevent accidents, observe the following precautions when you install the Linear Servomo-
tor.
If you have a heart pacemaker or any other electronic medical device, do not go near the location of
or near a machine where the Magnetic Way of a Linear Servomotor is being used. The influence of
the magnetism may cause the medical device to malfunction or fail.

UTION
Make sure that there are no magnetic substances, such pieces of iron, near the worksite before
you unpack or install the Magnetic Way.
There is a risk of injury or damage to the magnets in the Magnetic Way due to the magnetic attrac-
tion of the Magnetic Way.
Securely mount the Servomotor to the machine.
If the Servomotor is not mounted securely, it may come off the machine during operation.
Use all of the mounting screw holes on the Linear Servomotor to mount the Servomotor to the
machine.
There is a risk of damage or injury if the Servomotor is not mounted correctly.
Do not use the mounting screw holes on a Linear Servomotor for any other purpose.
There is a risk of damage or injury if the Servomotor is not mounted correctly.
The Magnetic Way of a Linear Servomotor uses a strong permanent magnet. To ensure safety
and prevent accidents, observe the following precautions when you install the Linear Servomo-
tor.
•
Do not bring magnetic substances (including Moving Coils and tools) near the Magnetic Way. There
is a risk of serious injury (such as pinching your hand) due to the large magnetic attraction exerted by
the magnetic side of the Magnetic Way. Pay sufficient attention to the worksite and surrounding area
to prevent magnetic substances from approaching the Magnetic Way.
•
Use only nonmagnetic tools for all work.
Install the Servomotor or SERVOPACK in a way that will support the mass given in technical
documents.
Install SERVOPACKs, Servomotors, regenerative resistors, and External Dynamic Brake Resis-
tors on nonflammable materials.
Installation directly onto or near flammable materials may result in fire.
Do not step on or place a heavy object on the product.
There is a risk of failure, damage, or injury.
Do not allow any foreign matter to enter the SERVOPACK or Servomotor.
There is a risk of failure or fire.
When you remove the dummy plates for reducing magnetic force from the Magnetic Way of an
SGLF Linear Motor, be careful of the magnetic attraction of the Magnetic Way. Do not place the
dummy plates close to the Magnetic Way after you remove them.
There is a risk of injury, damage to the magnets in the Magnetic Way, or damage to the magnet pro-
tective cover.
Implement safety measures, such as installing a cover so that the Linear Servomotor cannot be
touched accidentally during operation.
