System Stands
The MagneMover LITE transport system stand consists of the leg assemblies and the beams
the motors are mounted on. The legs are available in different lengths, which provide different
system heights as shown in Figure 3-47. The legs are also available in different configura-
tions, which support different numbers of parallel motors as shown in Figure 3-47, which
shows a 550 mm 3-motor wide stand.
Legs should be located every two motor joints or 1.5 m, whichever is less (Figure 3-48 shows
a typical leg installation for a small system). Use tighter leg spacing as required by the system.
Use spanning legs that support multiple parallel motors where possible (see Figure 3-48) since
they increase system stability. If it is not possible to use spanning legs because there is equip-
ment in the middle of the system, use a single leg for each beam instead of the spanning leg.
Minimize the use of single legs since they only provide vertical support and do not provide
any lateral support. Single legs cannot be located at motor joints since they attached directly to
the bottom of the beam and there is no attachment point at that location. Use single legs to
support the ends of a loop as shown in Figure 3-48.
