Pacemaker / Implanted heart defibrillator
Sliders could affect the functioning of pacemakers and implanted heart defibrillators. For the
duration of a strong approach to a magnetic field, these devices switch into test mode and
will not function properly.
•
If you wear one of those devices keep a minimum distance of 300 mm (12
ʺ) between
the pacemaker / defibrillator and the housing of the linear rotary motor.
•
Inform others who wear these devices to comply with this minimum distance!
Caution - Risk of Electric Shock !
Before working, make sure that there are no high voltages.
Fast-moving machine parts
The sliders of LinMot linear motors are fast-moving machine parts. All necessary
precautions must be taken to prevent persons approaching the moving elements during
operation (provide covers, guards, etc.).
Automatic restart
The motors can start automatically under certain cricumstances!
If necessary, a corresponding warning symbol must be provided and protection against
entering the hazardous area or a suitable safe electronic disconnection must be provided!
Risk of injury due to a defect or fault
For areas where a defect or fault can result in substantial property damage or even serious
personal injury, additional external precautions must be taken or devices must be installed
to ensure safe operation even if a defect or fault occurs (eg. suitable safe electronic
disconnection, mechanical interlocks, barriers, etc.).
Magnetic field
Magnets integrated in the sliders produce a strong magnetic field. They could damage TVs,
laptops, computer hard drives, credit and ATM cards, data storage media, mechanical
watches, hearing aids, and speakers.
•
Keep magnets away from devices and objects that could be damaged by strong
magnetic fields.
•
For the above mentioned objects, keep a minimum distance as described in the
"Pacemaker / implanted defibrillator" section.
•
For non-anti-magnetic watches, keep the double minimum distance.
Burn hazard
The shaft of LinMot linear rotary motors can reach temperatures of 80 °C, which may cause
burns upon contact.
Grounding
All metal parts that are exposed to contact during any user operation or servicing and likely
to become energized shall be reliably connected to the means for grounding.
