High Energy Magnets
Linear thruster magnet tracks contain high energy magnets that attract ferrous metals from a
considerable distance. Precautions must be taken while unpacking, handling, and shipping by air.
Safety Labels
Title
Location
Label Details
Strong Magnets A
The linear thruster slide uses strong magnets over its
entire length. The magnetic field generated can
disrupt the functionality of automatic implantable
cardioverter defibrillators (AICD). People with cardiac
pacemakers should not work near the linear thruster.
The strong magnets of the linear thruster slider will
attract metal objects that up are in its proximity.
During handling and installation maintain distance
between the linear thruster slider and metal
mounting surfaces or structures. Refer to Remove
the Linear Thruster from the Shipping Container on
page 10
Maintenance personnel should avoid the use of
metallic tools and secure items such as badge clips
other personnel effect that could be attracted to the
strong magnetic field.
Strong magnets can erase magnetic media. Never let
credit cards or electronic media contact or come near
the linear thruster.
Pitch Point/ Motion
Hazard B
The linear thruster is capable of sudden and fast
motion. Never stand in the axis of motion when
under power. Do not put fingers inside the slider.
Lock out - tag out if access to the linear thruster is
required during maintenance while the connectors
are installed.
Hot Surface C Indicates that the surface can be hot enough to burn
if touched.
High Voltage D
Do not open linear thruster covers or right angle
connectors while the cables are connected. Lock
out-tag out if access to the linear thruster is required
during maintenance while the connectors are
installed.
Shipping/handling
Set Screw E
When handling the linear thruster during
maintenance or installation the set screw must be
tightened to 2.3 N•m (20 lb•in) to prevent
unexpected movement of the slide and weight shift
of the linear thruster.
After installation, loosen the set screw ed so that the
slider is free to move for normal operation.The set
screw is loose when the head of the screw is flush
with the surface of the stator housing.
WARNING
L
High magnetic eld exerts strong

Unpacking and Handling
Leave protective wrapping, cardboard and flux containment plates in place until linear thruster is
installed. Clear the inspection and repacking area of any ferrous metals that will be attracted to or
attract the linear thruster. If you are working multiple linear thrusters, maintain a distance of
1.5 m (5 ft) between each linear thruster.

Rockwell Automation Publication LDAT-IN001B-EN-P - March 2020
Vertical or Incline Installation
A linear thruster driven system mounted vertically or on an incline will not maintain position
when the power is removed. Under the influence of gravity the motion platform and its payload
will fall to the low end of travel. Design engineers should allow for this by designing in controlled
power down circuits or mechanical controls to prevent the linear thruster driven system and its
payload from being damaged when the power fails.
IMPORTANT Any person that teaches, operates, maintains, or repairs these linear thruster must be
trained and demonstrate the competence to safely perform the assigned task.
ATTENTION: Linear thrusters are capable of high accelerations, sudden and fast motion. Rockwell
Automation is not responsible for misuse, or improper implementation of this equipment.
ATTENTION: Linear thrusters driven systems must have the payload must be secured to the
system such that it will not sheer off in the event of an impact in excess of the bumper ratings.
ATTENTION: The Hall effect module and motor feedback encoder contain an electrostatic
discharge (ESD) sensitive devises. Follow static-control precautions when you install, test, service,
or repair this assembly. If you do not follow ESD control precautions, components can be damaged.
If you are not familiar with static control precautions, refer to Guarding Against Electrostatic
Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2, or any other applicable ESD awareness handbook.
BURN HAZARD: When the linear thruster are running at their maximum rating the temperature
of attached heat sink can reach 100 ºC (212 ºF).
SHOCK HAZARD: An assembled linear thruster will generate power if the coil or magnet track is
moved. Un-terminated power cables present an electrical shock hazard. Never handle flying leads
or touch power pins while moving the motor.

Before You Begin
Keep the packaging material on the linear thruster to minimize the possibility of it tipping. Do
not remove any of the corrugated or foam inserts until the linear thruster is at the installation
area. Leave corrugated cardboard tube on slider until the linear thruster has been installed in its
final location. If necessary for accessory installation cut the cardboard sleeve to gain access to the
slider ends.
Overhead lifting is the recommended method for removing the linear thruster from its
container. Eye bolts are supplied with linear thrusters of frame 50 and larger and are taped to one
of the slider protective tubes.
ATTENTION: To avoid personal injury and structural damage to the linear thruster, never attempt
lift or move the linear thruster by any means other than those listed in this publication.
ATTENTION: High force magnets are located inside the corrugated cardboard tubes that cover the
sliders.The corrugated tubes reduce, but does not eliminate magnetic attraction forces.
ATTENTION: Be sure that the load ratings of the lifting device, slings, hooks and shackles have a
lifting capacity rated equal to or greater than the load. Failure to do so may result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage. For your system’s specific weight, refer to the system nameplate label
or shipping weights on the packing slip.

Remove the Linear Thruster from the Shipping Container
1. Consider the weight of the linear thruster.
Depending on the design, the linear thruster can weigh up to 106.7 kg (235.2 lb).
2. Attach two eye bolts to connector side of the linear thruster.
3. Select or adjust the rigging lengths to compensate for the weight distribution.
The angle between the lifting cables must not exceed 45° angle from vertical as shown.
Maintain the linear thruster in a balanced position.
4. Test lift the linear thruster a minimal amount.
Verify that it is properly secured and balanced before moving it further. The lift points
may not be equidistant from the center of gravity.
5. Lift the linear thruster.
6. Visually inspect the linear thruster for damage.
Closely examine the mounting surface, frame, and slider for defects.
7. Notify the carrier of shipping damage immediately.
ATTENTION: Linear thrusters that exceed 22.7 kg (50.0 lb) require a two man lift.
Do not lift the linear thruster by the slider. Use supplied eye bolts when ever possible.
ATTENTION: Do not pass ropes or cables through the eye bolts. Use hooks or shackles
with load-rated slings.
ATTENTION: Do not loosen the shipping and handling set screw until the linear thruster
is installed in your application.The slider is free to move once the shipping set screw is
loosened. Use additional care when working with the linear thruster after the set screw
is loosened. Unexpected slider movement can cause personal injury.
