1-1-1 Notice
1-1-2 Safety Information
Intended audience
1-1-3 General Precautions
Safety precautions
Powerful magnetic induction may cause irreversible heart damage to persons using
pacemakers.
Make sure to keep any kind of magnetically sensitive devices away from the linear system
or its individual components.
Do not approach the system with ferromagnetic tools.
Moving parts of the system can crush hands, fingers and other extremities.
Magnetic components must be handled carefully and kept far away from any kind of metal
parts and other magnet tracks.
Do not attempt to dismantle the unit do not touch any of the internal parts while power is
being supplied or the system is in motion.
Failsafe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the event of incorrect,
missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines, momentary power interruptions
or other causes. Failure to do so may result in serious accidents.

Emergency stop circuits or devices, interlock circuits or devices and similar safety
measures must be provided by the customer as external circuits or devices. Failure to do so
may result in serious accidents.
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any linear systems. Any attempt to do so
may result in malfunction, electrical shock, fire or reduced product lifetime.
Pay careful attention to polarity (+/-) when wiring the power supply. An incorrect connection
may cause malfunctioning of the system.
Application precautions
Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated voltage and
frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the power supply is unstable.
An incorrect power supply may result in malfunction.
Do not apply voltage to the input units in excess of the rated input voltage. Excess voltage
may result in burning.
Be sure that all mounting screws, cover screws, mounting plate screws are tightened to the
torque specified in this users manual. Incorrect tightening torque may result in malfunction.
Do not pull on or bend the cables beyond their natural limit. Doing so may break the cables.

1-2 Transportation / Handling / Storage
The following instructions must be followed during transportation and handling:
• OMRON EUROPE B.V. linear axes must be transported and stored always in its original shipping box
• Make sure to read and understand all stickers been attached outside of the wooden shipping box or been placed
inside
• If for any reason, the linear system needs to be shipped back to OMRON EUROPE B.V. or being shipped to
some other place, make sure to always and exclusively use original shipping box provided by OMRON EUROPE
B.V.
Pay attention to the stickers applied outside and inside the wooden shipping box.
If a customs inspection is required, please try to have this inspection carried out within your company. It is very
probable that the protective foil wrapping of the linear system inside the wooden box can become damaged during
the customs inspection. Thereafter, the system could be exposed to adverse weather conditions that may cause
malfunctioning or reduced lifetime of the system.
The whole shipment must be stored in a dry and (if available and necessary) heated environment. It is forbidden to
store the shipment outdoors.
Additionally make sure to keep rain and direct sunlight and/or heat radiation away from shipment or the linear sys-
tem itself.
Please make sure to check the shipment thoroughly in presence of the carrier during receipt.
Compare your order form with the supplied goods, if a difference is noticed please contact your local OMRON
EUROPE B.V. representative.
1-2-1 Transport
1-2-2 After Receiving
Check all shock indicators for their status. If one of these indicates poor treatment of the
transported item, please proceed as follows:
• Do not refuse shipment
• State and confirm that the shock indicators have been triggered on the delivery slip
• Inspect the whole shipment on every side for possible damage to the wooden box
• Immediately contact your local OMRON EUROPE B.V. representative

Storage

Remove the system from its shipping box carefully. If you use cutting tools, you could scratch the outer surface of
the linear slider or even damage cables.
The cover of the wooden transportation box is fastened to the box itself using wood screws. All screws are indi-
cated by black arrow labels as shown below.
Inside the transportation box, the linear axis is mounted onto at least two blank aluminum bars. The standard slider
mounting drill pattern is used to attach the slider to these bars. Each aluminum bar is firmly attached to the bottom
of the box to securely fasten the slider during transportation.
Detach all the aluminum bars together with the slider from the transportation box by removing the nuts underneath
the wooden box.
Now you can place the linear slider on a solid surface outside the box. The next steps will show you how to remove
all the aluminum bars.
1-2-3 Handling
Please handle the linear axis carefully and safely. Treat the wrapping foil with care while
opening it. Do not cause scratches or cut cables by using cutting tools to open the foil.
It is forbidden to use the connector box as lifting handle. Lifting the slider by the cable chain
or even by the cables can cause malfunctioning.

Please, follow the next steps:
• Remove the cover of the slider. Remove the three M3 screws on each side from each front plate on the left and
right hand side of the slider.
• Sliders with a very short stroke, it may be necessary to also disassemble the mounting plate before you are able
to remove the cover.
• You can use the same pattern inside the slider to attach/detach all the aluminum bars as you use to install the
slider in your machine frame.
• Now assemble the slider with the cover and if possible wrap it in the transportation foil again in order to store for
a lengthy period before installation in the machine.

• Keep the storage area clean from any ferromagnetic objects, especially tools or screws
• Inform all persons and workers with pacemakers or other sensitive body issues to keep
out of the storage area
• Only store the linear system on fully supported bases. To avoid any malfunction, keep
the system in storage until it is installed

*1. 22 variants, stroke from 110 to 2126 mm, every 96 mm.
*2. 21 variants, stroke from 158 to 2078 mm, every 96 mm.
In case of repair or any other issues or problems with the linear axis it is important to contact your local OMRON
representative with the parameters of the product on hand.
For this purpose you will find a product identification label on the far left hand end of the base profile as seen from
in front of the linear axis with the cable chain between you and the axis.
Please, see the below picture to easily identify the tag:
Please have the following information on hand when you contact your OMRON representative:
