Installing the LDL-Series Linear Motor
Introduction
The following section shows you how to safely unpack and install
your linear motor components.
Unpacking and Inspection
Inspect motor assemblies for damage that may have occurred in
shipment. 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
immediately for further advise.
• Compare the purchase order with the packing slip.
• Check the quantity of magnet channels 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 channels do not allow the channels to come in
contact with each other. Do not disassemble the magnet
channels. The forces between channels are very powerful and
can cause bodily injury. Persons with pacemakers or Automatic
Implantable Cardioverter 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) feet must be maintained between
magnet assemblies and other magnetic or ferrous composite
materials. Use only non-metallic instrumentation when
verifying assembly dimension prior to installation
