Install the LX-Series Linear Motor
Introduction In this section you will unpack, inspect, and install your linear motor components
by creating your own linear motor.
Unpacking and Inspection Read the following guidelines to handle magnet tracks carefully.
Inspect motor components and verify they are damage free. Any damage or
suspected damage should be immediately documented. Claims for damage due to
shipment are usually made against the transportation company. Contact
Rockwell Automation for further advice:
• Compare the purchase order with the packing slip.
• Check the quantity of magnet tracks received matches your job
requirements.
• Identify the options that came with your linear motor.
• Inspect the assemblies and confirm the presence of specified options.

ATTENTION: Linear motors contain powerful permanent magnets
which require extreme caution during handling. When handing
multiple magnet tracks do not allow the tracks to come in contact
with each other. Do not disassemble the magnet tracks. The forces
between tracks are very powerful and can cause bodily injury.
Persons with pacemakers or Automatic Implantable Cardiac
Defibrillator (AICD) should maintain a minimum distance of 0.33 m
(1 ft) from magnet assemblies. Additionally, unless absolutely
unavoidable, a minimum distance of 1.5 m (5 ft) must be
maintained between magnet assemblies and other magnetic/
ferrous composite materials. Use only non-metallic
instrumentation when verifying assembly dimension prior to
installation.
