2 Safety Instructions
Pacemaker / Implanted heart defibrillator
Sliders could affect the functioning of pacemakers and implanted heart defibrillators. For the
duration of a strong approach to a magnetic field, these devices switch into test mode and
will not function properly.
•If you wear one of those devices keep a minimum distance of 300 mm (12ʺ) between
the pacemaker / defibrillator and the housing of the linear rotary motor.
•Inform others who wear these devices to comply with this minimum distance!
Caution - Risk of Electric Shock !
Before working, make sure that there are no high voltages.
Fast-moving machine parts
The sliders of LinMot linear motors are fast-moving machine parts. All necessary
precautions must be taken to prevent persons approaching the moving elements during
operation (provide covers, guards, etc.).
Automatic restart
The motors can start automatically under certain cricumstances!
If necessary, a corresponding warning symbol must be provided and protection against
entering the hazardous area or a suitable safe electronic disconnection must be provided!
Risk of injury due to a defect or fault
For areas where a defect or fault can result in substantial property damage or even serious
personal injury, additional external precautions must be taken or devices must be installed
to ensure safe operation even if a defect or fault occurs (eg. suitable safe electronic
disconnection, mechanical interlocks, barriers, etc.).
Magnetic field
Magnets integrated in the sliders produce a strong magnetic field. They could damage TVs,
laptops, computer hard drives, credit and ATM cards, data storage media, mechanical
watches, hearing aids, and speakers.
•Keep magnets away from devices and objects that could be damaged by strong
magnetic fields.
•For the above mentioned objects, keep a minimum distance as described in the
"Pacemaker / implanted defibrillator" section.
•For non-anti-magnetic watches, keep the double minimum distance.
Burn hazard
The shaft of LinMot linear rotary motors can reach temperatures of 80 °C, which may cause
burns upon contact.
Grounding
All metal parts that are exposed to contact during any user operation or servicing and likely
to become energized shall be reliably connected to the means for grounding.

Installation Guide Linear Rotary Motors ENG
NTI AG / LinMot PR01-52 Page 7 / 48
Effects on people
According to the current level of knowledge, magnetic fields of permanent magnets do not
have a measurable positive or negative effect on people. It is unlikely that permanent
magnets constitute a health risk, but it cannot be ruled out entirely.
•For your own safety, avoid constant contact with magnets.
•Store large magnets at least one meter away from your body.
Temperature resistance
Keep motors away from unshielded flame or heat.
Temperature above 120°C will cause demagnetization.

3 Intended Use
3.1 Linear Rotary Motor
1: Linear rotary shaft
2: Stator (rotary motor)
3: Stator (linear motor)
4: Wiper
5: Slider linear motor
The PR01 linear rotary motors are electric direct drives for use in industrial and commercial installations. For
correct handling, observe the warnings listed in chapter 2.
The PR01 linear rotary motor is designed for simultaneous linear and rotating movements. This means that
the rotary and linear movements can be performed simultaneously and completely independently of each
other. If the application allows it, it is recommended to perform the rotary motion with the linear rotary shaft
retracted. The rotary and linear movements should also be carried out one after the other. This reduces the
bearing loads and increases the service life of the bearings.
3.2 Internal Mechanical Stops
Do not drive into the internal mechanical stops!
It must be ensured that the linear motor does not move to the lower or upper internal stop
during operation, as otherwise the linear motor may be damaged! The internal stops may
only be used for homing purposes. The homing speed must not exceed the value of 0.01
m/s.
3.3 Max. Speed
The mechanically maximum permissible speed of 1500 rpm must not be exceeded.

Installation Guide Linear Rotary Motors ENG
NTI AG / LinMot PR01-52 Page 9 / 48
3.4 Pneumatic Brake
As an option, a brake can be attached to the linear motor. The pneumatic brake is controlled by the servo
drive. To open and close the brake, an additional electric solenoid valve is required. The brake acts on the
shaft arranged parallel to the rotor and is released by compressed air.
•The brake has a purely holding function and is not designed to slow down or stop
dynamic movements.
•Not to be used for safety devices!
•Not approved as a safety element!
4 Installation Instructions
4.1 Operating Conditions
Maximum ambient temperature limits:
•-10 °C…80 °C
Internal temperature sensor error occurs at:
•90 °C
Max. Installation altitude
•The maximum installation altitude is 4,000 m above sea level.
From 1,000 m upwards, a derating of 1 °C per 100 m must be taken into account for air
cooling.
4.2 Installation Options
The PR01 linear rotary motors have a centric fit on the front side, so that an exact alignment of the rotation
axis is possible.
Mounting only via the front screws is generally not sufficient (vibrations, transverse load) and must be
supplemented by an additional support. For vibration reasons, a support as far back as possible is
preferable. See the mounting examples in the following chapter. Please note that a tolerance compensation
(see next chapter) must be provided so that the motor is not installed in the machine under tension. The
detailed mounting dimensions can be found in chapter 10 "Dimensions". The corresponding CAD files are
available in the LinMot eCatalog https://shop.linmot.com/

4.2.1 Vertical Installation
Support via lateral surface on the rotary motor
In order to avoid overdetermination of
the different motor bearings, the
support must have a minimum
clearance. This compensates for any
tolerances in the linear rotary motor.
Support via angle and cooling flange of the
linear motor
In order to avoid overdetermination of
the different motor bearings, the
support must have a minimum
clearance. This compensates for any
tolerances in the linear rotary motor.
Support via lateral bracing on the cooling flange
of the linear motor
In order to avoid overdetermination of
the different motor bearings, the
support must have a minimum
clearance. This compensates for any
tolerances in the linear rotary motor.

Installation Guide Linear Rotary Motors ENG
NTI AG / LinMot PR01-52 Page 11 / 48
Support via lateral bracing at the end of the
linear motor
In order to avoid overdetermination of
the different motor bearings, the
support must have a minimum
clearance. This compensates for any
tolerances in the linear rotary motor.
Support via lateral bracing on the multi-function
flange
In order to avoid overdetermination of
the different motor bearings, the
support must have a minimum
clearance. This compensates for any
tolerances in the linear rotary motor.
4.2.2 Horizontal installation
Mounting via lateral surfaces on the rotary
motor
If the lower mounting holes are used, tolerance
compensation with a washer should be provided.

5.4 Connecting the Drive to the Motor
The following diagram shows the connection of the linear motor with the LinMot Drive.
5.5 Pneumatic Air Connection
All linear rotary motors of the size PR01-52 are optionally available in a hollow shaft L-version. This motor
type has a through bore of Ø 2.5 mm, which passes through the rotor and the rotary shaft. This enables the
user to implement pneumatic applications with an operating pressure of max. 6 bar. In the case of a vacuum
application, it is recommended to use a unit with sufficient power, since experience has shown that any air
coupling points generate minor losses.
The specifications of the connections are shown in the drawing above.

6 Start-up
6.1 Linear Motor and Rotary Motor
Linear motor and rotary motor are electrically independent units. The commissioning of the linear motor can
therefore be performed sequentially. It does not matter which motor (linear motor or rotary motor) is
commissioned first.
The various parameters for the linear motor and the rotary motor are set on the drive side via the Motor
Wizard in the LinMot Talk configuration program.
Do not drive into the internal mechanical stops!
It must be ensured that the linear motor does not move to the internal stop during operation
under any circumstances, as otherwise the linear motor may be damaged! The internal
stops may be used for the purpose of homing, but the homing speed must not exceed 0.01
m/s.
6.2 Default Values of the Coordinate System
6.2.1 Angle of Rotation
Looking into the shaft, the positive
counterclockwise counting direction of the angle of
rotation is defined.
6.2.2 Position
With regard to the motor, the positive counting
direction of the position is defined by retracting the
stroke rotary shaft.
To invert the coordinate system you will find detailed information in chapter 6.4.3.
6.3 Plug and Play Function for Linear Rotary Motors
LinMot linear rotary motors of the latest generation are Plug and Play capable (see motor label "PnP"). This
means that they register with the drive independently. The module- and motor-specific parameters are
automatically stored in the drive and the motor is ready for operation.
Application-specific parameters, such as cable length, load mass, PID control settings etc. can be entered by
the user using the Motor Wizard.
To do this, click on the Motor Wizard symbol in the task bar of the LinMot-Talk software.
Then follow the sequence of steps from chapter 6.4.2.

Installation Guide Linear Rotary Motors ENG
NTI AG / LinMot PR01-52 Page 17 / 48
6.4 Setting Motor Parameters
The various parameters for the linear motor and the rotary motor are set via the corresponding motor wizard
in the LinMot Talk configuration program. To open the wizard, select the "Motor Wizard" icon in the task bar.
6.4.1 Selection of the Motor Data Files
If the connected motor is a module with plug and play functionality, the following step can be skipped.
If no "PnP" symbol is printed on the motor nameplate, the module and motor-specific parameters must be
loaded manually via the Motor Wizard. So-called motor data files are available for this purpose. The motor
data file corresponding to the module (*.adf or *.adp) must be selected in the first step of the Motor Wizard.
The linear rotary motors are located in the installation directory of the LinMot-Talk software (download at
www.linmot.com) in the folder "Motors\LinMot Linear Rotary Motors\...".
Please contact support if the motor data files are not available.
6.4.2 Application-specific Parameters
Application-specific parameters, such as cable length, load mass, PID control settings, etc. can be entered
by the user using the Motor Wizard. The Motor Wizard must be started for this purpose. Once the Motor
Datafile has been selected (according to the previous chapter), the Motor Wizard guides you through the
menu step by step.
Application parameters should be entered as accurately as possible to ensure the best possible motor
control.
6.4.3 Inverting the Coordinate System
Starting with LinMot-Talk version 6.8 the direction of the coordinate system can be selected.
Default value for rotary motors: Positive counting direction = counterclockwise (see figure chapter 6.2.1)
Default value for linear motors: Positive direction of movement = Regular (see figure in chapter 6.2.2)
If the coordinate system is reversed, this has an influence on the current and the
force/torque of the motor. In case of any uncertainties, the LinMot support should definitely
be contacted.

6.4.4 Selection of the Linear and Rotary Unit System
In step 4 of the Motor Wizard the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of the LinMot-Talk software can be set. This
setting only affects the display of the LinMot-Talk software. The resolution and scaling of the transmission
data (raw data) to the higher-level PLC are retained.
Figure: Selection of the units to be displayed in the LinMot-Talk software
6.4.5 Referencing the Linear Motor
The built-in linear motor has a position detection system which must be referenced. Various modes are
available to the user for this purpose. Depending on the selected mode, the linear motor searches for a
mechanical stop and/or an electronic switch, for example.
Figure: Selection of reference run linear motor

Installation Guide Linear Rotary Motors ENG
Page 20 / 48 PR01-52 NTI AG / LinMot
6.4.6 Referencing the Rotary Motor
The rotary motor has an integrated single-turn absolute encoder. This means that the rotary motor knows its
position without any reference run after the drive is started up.
Figure: Activate the absolute encoder for rotary motors by selecting "LmComm And In Sensor Period"
(default value). With parameter "Home Position" an offset to the start position can be set.
If a reference run is necessary due to mechanical events, e.g. an external gear, it is recommended to
reference an external sensor. A number of options for homing are available to the user under Parameter ->
Motion Control SW -> State Machine Setup -> Homing.
