6.2.1 Marking of the Leads
HV (high vacuum) and UHV (ultra high vacuum) stepper motor wires are the same colour
and are identified by coloured PTFE tubes:

In case of motors with built-in type K thermal elements, the minus pole is magnetic.

HV stepper motors
The tubes can remain on the wires if desired.

UHV stepper motors
- The PTFE tubes can remain on the wires, if the motor is only oper-
ated in the temperature range up to +200 °C or 10
4
rad radiation.
When temperature or radiation is higher, the tubes have to be re-
moved
.
- Before mounting the motor: Do not remove the PTFE tubes!
The wires can only be identified by their markings.
- Connecting the wires: Only remove the PTFE tube from the wire
being connected. Be careful not to mix up the wires. The start and
end of a winding in an 8-lead stepper motor cannot be determined
by measurement.
- Recommendation: Keep the PTFE tubes! If disconnecting the
stepper motor, the markings should be reattached.
