2. Basic safety notices
DANGER!
Danger from strong magnetic fields!
Strong magnetic fields around linear motor systems 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 should maintain a safe distance of at
least 1 m from linear motor systems.
ATTENTION!
Risk of physical damage to watches and magnetic storage media.
Strong magnetic forces may destroy watches and magnetisable data storage media near to the
linear motor system!
 Do not bring watches or magnetisable data storage media into the vicinity (<300 mm) of the
linear motor systems!
2.1 Intended use
The linear motor system is a linear drive and guiding system for the precise positioning of fixed mounted loads, e.g.
system components within an automated system, in terms of time and location.
The LMX and LMAP linear motor systems are designed for installation and operation in horizontal positions and
therefore do not feature parking brakes in their standard versions. In the case of vertical assembly, a parking brake,
weight compensation device or both must be retrofitted. The loads to be moved must either be mounted on to the
forcer or the base.
The linear axes can be mounted on top of one another to create multi-axis systems.
The specified linear motor systems may not be used outdoors or in hazardous areas where there is a risk of
explosions. All linear motor systems may only be used for the stated intended purpose.
● The linear motor system must be operated within its specified performance limits (See Technical Information and
the Approval Drawing).
● Observation of the user manual and compliance with the maintenance and repair regulations are prerequisites
for the intended use of the linear motor systems.
● Any other use of the linear motor system shall be considered as contrary to the intended use.
● Use only genuine spare parts from HIWIN MIKROSYSTEM.
2.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The linear motor systems must not be operated:
● Outdoors
● In potentially explosive atmospheres
2.3 Conversions and modifications
Modifications of the linear motor systems are not permitted! Please contact HIWIN MIKROSYSTEM for special
request.

2.4 Residual risks
Normal operation of the linear motor systems constitutes no residual risks.
Warnings about risks that may arise during maintenance and repair work are provided in the relevant sections.
2.5 Personnel requirements
Only authorized persons may carry out work on the linear motor systems! They must be familiar with the safety
equipment and regulations before starting work (See Table 2.1).

2.6 Protective equipment
2.6.1 Personal protective equipment
ATTENTION!
Risk of noise.
The information below will enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
● Equivalent A-weighted Sound pressure level according to EN ISO 3746: 70.5 dB (A)
● Uncertainty, K in decibels: 4.0 dB (A) according to EN ISO 4871
The emission levels are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a correlation between the emission
and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of the work-force include the characteristics of the work room,
the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent processes, and the length of time
for which an operator is exposed to the noise. Also the permissible exposure level can vary from country to
country.

2.6.2 Protective equipment on the linear motor system
Linear motor systems are fitted with position dampers.
● After every traverse, these position dampers must be tested at the end positions and, if necessary, replaced.
● The machine may not be operated without position dampers or when they are damaged!

3.3.1 Linear motor system
A linear motor system comprises a base with integrated linear guideways These both absorb the forces exerted by
the weights, accelerations, and processes and provide precise guiding for the forcer housing. The axis is driven by
linear motors.
3.3.2 Linear motor
A linear motor consists of two components, the forcer (primary part) with coils and the stator (secondary part) with
permanent magnets. The coils carrying alternating current generate a magnetic field that changes over time and
interacts with the steady magnetic field of the stator. The resulting force is used to generate linear motion. The linear
motor components are supplied as separate parts.
