2. Basic safety notices
Danger from strong magnetic fields!
Strong magnetic fields around linear motor components pose a health risk to persons with implants (e.g.
cardiac pacemakers) that are affected by magnetic fields.
Persons with implants that are affected by magnetic fields must maintain a safe distance of at least 1m
from linear motor components!
WARNING!
Risk of material damage!
Strong magnetic forces may destroy watches and magnetisable data storage media near to the linear motor
components.
Do not bring watches or magnetisable data storage media into the vicinity (
<
300mm) of the linear motors
components!
ATTENTION!
2.1 Intended use
The linear motor components are designed exclusively for installation in commercial and industrial machines. Linear motor
components are parts of a linear drive system for the precise positioning in terms of time and location of fixed mounted
loads, e.g. system components, within an automated system.
Linear motors are designed for installation and operation in any position. The loads being moved must be firmly attached.
For the safe operation of linear motors, suitable safety precautions must be taken to protect the motor against overload.
The linear motor components may not be used outdoors or in hazardous areas where there is a risk of explosions.
All linear motor components may only be used for the stated intended purpose.
|The linear motors must be operated within its specified performance limits (see catalogue “Positioning systems”).
|Observation of the assembly instructions and compliance with the maintenance and repair regulations are prerequi-
sites for the intended use of the linear motors.
|Any other use of the linear motor components shall be considered as contrary to the intended use.
|Use only genuine spare parts from HIWIN GmbH.
2.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
Linear motors must not be operated:
Outdoors
In potentially explosive atmospheres
2.3 Conversions and modifications
Conversions or modifications of the linear motors are not permitted!
2.4 Residual risks
Normal operation of the linear motors constitutes no residual risks.
Warnings about risks that may arise during commissioning, maintenance and repair work are provided in the relevant sec-
tions.
2.5 Personnel requirements
Only trained personnel or trained specialist personnel may carry out work on the linear motors! They must be familiar with
the safety equipment and regulations before starting work (see Table 2.1).
