Mechanical Installation – Part 2: Mover

─── Version: 1.0XPlanar

9.1.5.2Coupling

The work required for mover coupling should be carried out by two

persons. The weight and dimensions require a second person to

turn and transport the mover coupling.

Mounting example

In this chapter, the mover coupling is described using a 2x2 frame

and four APM4550-0000 movers as an example.

WARNING

Keep the workplace free of metallic and magnetic materials

Make sure that your workplace is free of metallic and magnetic

materials before positioning the mover. Only remove the mover

from the transport securing device if absolutely necessary for as-

sembly work. The transport securing device weakens the mag-

netic field and protects electrical components from magnetic influ-

ences.

If movers are attracted by metallic and magnetic parts, serious in-

juries to the fingers from crushing and in the eyes from splinters

can result.

Movers contain strong permanent magnets

The permanent magnets are arranged in so-called Halbach ar-

rays, which ensure that the magnetic field on the underside of the

mover is significantly stronger than on the upper side of the

mover. The field of the permanent magnets is present even when

the power supply is switched off.

If the movers attract each other and collide, serious injuries to the

fingers from crushing and in the eyes from splinters can result.

Transport the mover with the safety pictogram facing up-

wards

Always transport the movers with the safety pictograms facing

upwards. The underside of the mover must be in the transport se-

curing device. The transport securing device weakens the mag-

netic field of the mover.

Incorrectly inserted movers can attract magnetic objects or other

movers, resulting in serious injuries to fingers from crushing and

to eyes from splinters.

► To safely remove the bumpers, remove the mover[1] from the

transport securing device[2] and turn it by 180°

► Place the mover in the transport securing device[2] with the un-

derside facing upwards
