Mounting

WARNING

Keep the workplace free of metallic and magnetic materials

Make sure that your workplace is free of metallic and magnetic materials before positioning the mover. The permanent magnets of the movers can attract tools used to replace the magnetic plates.

If movers are attracted by metallic and magnetic parts, serious injuries to the fingers from crushing and in the eyes from splinters can result.

Risk of injury during mounting of the magnetic plates

Permanent magnets are installed in the magnetic plate sets of the movers. Be careful when mounting the magnetic plate sets. Make sure that the magnetic plate sets do not magnetically attract one another with your hands in-between.

If you don't take care during the mounting, opposite magnetic plate sets may attract each other without warning and injure your hands.

The magnetic plates are supplied with a plastic spacer between the magnetic poles.

Mounting 1:

The distance between the magnetic plates [1] and [2] and to other magnetic objects must be at least 50 mm. The spacer [3] is 50 mm long and can be used to maintain and check the distances.

Mounting 2:
Carefully remove the magnetic plate [1] and spacer [2]
Observe the distance between the magnetic plates and other magnetic objects

The distance must be at least 50 mm.

Notice

Use liquid threadlocker

Use liquid threadlocker on the screw thread to fix the magnetic plates to the movers.

If you do not use liquid threadlocker, the magnetic plates may loosen due to vibration under unusual operating conditions and cause damage to the mover and other components of the XTS.
