Electrical Warnings
To decrease the risk of electrical shock, injury, death, and damage to the equipment, obey the
precautions that follow.
DANGER: Electrical Shock Hazard!
lStage motor phase voltage levels could be hazardous live.
lPersonnel are protected from hazardous voltages unless electrical interconnections,
protective bonding (safety ground), or motor/stage enclosures are compromised.
lDo not connect or disconnect stage/motor interconnections while connected to a live
electrical power source.
lBefore you set up or do maintenance, disconnect electrical power.
lIt is the responsibility of the End User/System Integrator to make sure that stages are
properly connected and grounded per Engineering Standards and applicable safety
requirements.
lIt is the responsibility of the End User/System Integrator to configure the system
drive or controller within the Aerotech motor/stage electrical and mechanical
specifications.

Motor-Related Warnings
Aerotech motors are capable of producing high forces and velocities. Obey all warnings and all
applicable codes and standards when you use or operate a stage or system that incorporates
Aerotech motors.
DANGER: Hot Surface Hazard!
lThe stage/motor frame temperature could exceed 70°C in some applications.
lDo not touch the stage/motor frame while it is in operation.
lWait until the stage/motor has cooled before you touch it.
DANGER:Risk of Explosive Atmosphere!
lStandard Aerotech stage/motors are not rated for applications with explosive
atmospheres such as air-born dust or combustible vapors.
lDo not operate stage/motors outside of Aerotech environmental specifications.
DANGER: Mechanical Hazard!
Personnel must be made aware of the mechanical hazards during set up or when you
do service to the stage.
lWhen the system is not electrically energized (disabled), linear stage/motors can still
allow a stage carriage to move freely. This can create mechanical hazards such as
pinch or crush points.
lUnintentional manual movement into the stage "end-of-travel" stops, could damage
the stage or undo precision alignments.
DANGER: Magnetic Field Hazard!
Aerotech stage/motors contain magnets which can present a Magnetic Field Hazard.
lDo not disassemble a stage motor under any circumstances.
lStrong magnetic fields could interfere with external/internal medical devices.
lStrong magnetic fields could present mechanical hazards such as pinch points.
