7.10.2 Safety precautions for linear and torque motors
Comply strictly with the warnings and safety precautions printed in this
chapter. They help to avoid accidents and to prevent damage to material
through improper handling!
Linear and torque motors are equipped with strong magnets and exercise
strong magnetic forces of attraction!
This can endanger health directly (e.g. for people with pacemakers), or
indirectly (e.g. through fast motor movements and high thrust force).
Please comply with all safety regulations of the motor
manufacturer!
Never put your hands in the traverse range of a machine that is
switched on.
Always switch off the machine before working within the traverse range
(machine must be free of potential).
Ensure free traverse for the axis.
Before switch-on, check the commutation.
Monitor the end positions.
Keep the motor area free of chips.
Watch out for unusual noises.
Ensure proper function of the motor coolant system.
Check at regular intervals the primary and secondary surfaces on the side
toward the air gap.
Check for mechanical stability. The integrated buffers must be able to
absorb the energy at Vmax in case of a fault.
