9.2 Inspection and maintenance
Performing maintenance work on the motor
Note
It is essential that you observe the safety information provided in this documentation.
As a result of their inherent principle of operation, linear motors are always wear-free.
To ensure that the motor functions properly and remains free of wear, the following
maintenance work needs to be carried out:
• Regularly check that the traversing paths are free
• Regularly clean the motor space and remove foreign bodies (e.g. chips)
• Regularly check the condition of the motor components.
• Check the current consumption in the dened test cycle (compare with values of the
reference travel)
Intervals between maintenance
Since operating conditions dier greatly, it is not possible to specify intervals between
maintenance work.
Indications that maintenance work is required
• Dirt in the motor cabinet
• Distinctive changes in the behavior of the machine
• Unusual sounds emitted by the machine
• Problems with positioning accuracy
• Higher current consumption
