Transport

Note

Short-circuit due to moisture in the AL2xxx linear motors!

Condensation may form when transporting in cold weather or in the case of extreme temperature differences:

Make sure that no moisture condenses inside the linear motor packaging (bedewing). Equalize the room temperature slowly. Only switch the linear motor on when it is completely dry.

Despite the sturdy construction, the components are sensitive to strong vibrations and impacts.

During transport, protect the product against:

high mechanical stress
large temperature fluctuations (max. 20 K/hour)
excessively high humidity (max. relative humidity 95%, non-condensing)

For the dispatch, use proper packaging that meets the requirements specified in this chapter for the transport of the linear motors. This could also be the manufacturer's original packaging.

Since linear motors contain electrostatically sensitive components that can be damaged by improper treatment:

Avoid electrostatic charging before you touch the device or components directly.
Avoid contact with highly insulating materials (synthetic fibers, plastic film etc.).
Place the servo drive on a conductive surface.
If the packaging is damaged, inspect the linear motor and any accessories for visible damage. Inform the transport company and, if necessary, the manufacturer.
