Notes on operating the Linear-Rotary Motor
Running in the mechanical end stop may damage the motor
During operation the linear motor must not be allowed to strike the upper or lower internal stops, as this can cause
damage to the Linear-Rotary motor. The internal stops can be used for homing purposes, but the homing speed
must not exceed the value of 0.01 m/s. Specially by using a MagSpring for the weight balancing and no payload is
attached, the MagSpring may shoot the unit into the internal stop and damage the unit! Use an external stop ring
attached to the rod to prevent this situation

Strategy for the linear and rotating movement
The Linear-Rotary motor is designed to execute linear and rotary motions simultaneously. This means that the
rotary and linear motions can be executed simultaneously and completely independent of one another. If the
application permits, however, the following guidelines should be followed for physical technical reasons:
Rotary motions should be performed with the linear axis retracted if possible, as this can reduce vibrations and
mechanical loads due to asymmetrical load mass. Execute rotary and linear motions sequentially, which makes the
load on the electrical power source more uniform and thus leads to greater energy efficiency.
