Iron core linear motor manual version 2. 0 Iron core l inear motor manual -ver. 2.0 INTRODUCTION A linear motor system is part of a speci c machine. Tecnotion’s iron core linear motors are components that can be combined with numerous application devices. This manual is intended for technicians who want to construct a machine that includes a linear motor system. It gives insight in the basic components of a Tecnotion iron core linear motor and additional components to complete the whole motion system. The manual further informs about important design and installation aspects of the linear motors, the important dimensions for designing the construction that will hold the linear motor, the required settings before starting up, and other aspects. Also, it will give insight in the de nition of all speci cations of a Tecnotion linear motor. When installing a linear motor system, one should be familiar with some important safety remarks. In the rst chapter these remarks are made. Please read them carefully.

FAQs

What is the intended use of the Tecnotion iron core linear motor system?

It is intended for wherever linear motion along an axis is required. It is designed as a permanent magnet direct drive motor and must be used only as intended, since other uses are not warranted.

What safety precautions are important before installing the linear motor?

Read the instruction manual carefully and follow the provided requirements. Magnet plates have strong attraction forces and can cause serious jamming danger, so soft magnetic objects must not be brought closer than 25 centimeters.

How should the magnet plates be handled and protected during installation?

Handle components with care both packed and unpacked. Avoid mechanical shocks: never drop a magnet plate or release it uncontrolled. Do not expose magnets to temperatures higher than 70°C to prevent demagnetization.
