2 Safety Instructions

Contusions

Sliders contain neodynium magnets and have a strong attractive force.

Careless handling could cause fingers or skin to become pinched between two sliders.

This may lead to contusions, bruises, and bone fractures.

When handling sliders, wear thick protective gloves and keep a minimum distance between

sliders. Refer to the "Minimum distance from slider" section for minimum distance.

To reduce the risk of injury, never more than one slider should be held or transported by the

same person without packaging.

Pacemaker / Implanted Heart Defibrillator

Sliders could affect the functioning of pacemakers and implanted heart defibrillators. For the

duration of a strong approach to a magnetic field, these devices switch into test mode and

will not function properly.

• If you wear one of those devices keep the following minimum distances between the

pacemaker / defibrillator and slider:

- Min. 250 mm (10ʺ) for slider Ø 27 mm and 28 mm (PL01-27 / 28 / PL10-28)

- Min. 150 mm (6ʺ) for slider Ø 19 mm and 20 mm (PL01-19 / 20)

- Min. 100 mm (4ʺ) for slider Ø 12 mm (PL01-12)

• Inform others who wear these devices to comply with these minimum distances!

Caution - Risk of Electric Shock !

Before working, make sure that there are no high voltages.

Fast-moving Machine Parts

The sliders of LinMot linear motors are fast-moving machine parts. All necessary

precautions must be taken to prevent persons approaching the moving elements during

operation (provide covers, guards, etc.).

Automatic Restart

The motors can start automatically under certain cricumstances!

If necessary, a corresponding warning symbol must be provided and protection against

entering the hazardous area or a suitable safe electronic disconnection must be provided!

Risk of Injury due to a Defect or Fault

For areas where a defect or fault can result in substantial property damage or even serious

personal injury, additional external precautions must be taken or devices must be installed

to ensure safe operation even if a defect or fault occurs (eg. suitable safe electronic

disconnection, mechanical interlocks, barriers, etc.).

Magnetic Field

Magnets integrated in the sliders produce a strong magnetic field. They could damage TVs,

laptops, computer hard drives, credit and ATM cards, data storage media, mechanical

watches, hearing aids, and speakers.

• Keep magnets away from devices and objects that could be damaged by strong

magnetic fields.

• For the above mentioned objects, keep a minimum distance as described in the

"Pacemaker / implanted defibrillator" section.

• For non-anti-magnetic watches, keep the double minimum distance.

Installation Guide Linear Modules ENG

NTI AG / LinMot SM02-37 / SM02-48 Seite 7 / 67

Combustibility

When machining magnets, the drilling dust could easily ignite.

Machining the sliders and the magnets they contain is not permitted.

Burn Hazard

During operation the slider can become hotter than 100 °C, which can cause burns if

touched. All necessary precautions (e.g. covers, casing, etc.) must be taken to prevent

contact with persons in the vicinity of the slider during operation.

Grounding

All metal parts that are exposed to contact during any user operation or servicing and likely

to become energized shall be reliably connected to the means for grounding.

Mechanical Handling

Neodymium magnets are brittle and heat-sensitive.

Machining the sliders and the magnets they contain is not permitted.

• Colliding magnets could crack. Sharp splinters could be catapulted for several meters

and cause eye injury.

• By machining the sliders, heat would result which demagnetizes the magnets.

Slider

Linear motor sliders consist of a high-precision, thin-walled stainless steel tube in which the

neodymium magnets are housed. The LinMot sliders should be handled with care.

Avoid contact with other sliders or iron parts as this can damage the magnets and the slider

surface. Do not grip the sliders with pliers, as this can also damage the surface. Do not use

sliders which are already damaged on the surface (scratches, deformation, etc.). This can

cause further damage to the stator.

Effects on People

According to the current level of knowledge, magnetic fields of permanent magnets do not

have a measurable positive or negative effect on people. It is unlikely that permanent

magnets constitute a health risk, but it cannot be ruled out entirely.

• For your own safety, avoid constant contact with magnets.

• Store large magnets at least one meter away from your body.

Temperature Resistance

Keep slider away from unshielded flame or heat.

Temperature above 120°C will cause demagnetization.

3 Operating Instructions

3.1 Operating Conditions

• The ambient temperature limit is enclosed: 0 °C1)…80 °C

• The maximum sensor temperature is enclosed: 120 °C

• Max. set up altitude:

The maximum installation altitude is 4'000 m above sea level. From 1'000 m upwards, a

derating of 1 °C per 100 m must be taken into account for air cooling.

1) Lower temperatures possible upon request.

3.2 Dynamic Properties

SM02 modules with plain bearings, in contrast to guide systems with rolling elements (< 50 m/s2), have no

restrictions with regard to the permitted acceleration values. In principle, any speed can also be used.

However, it should be noted that the service life of the plain bearings corresponds approximately to the

product of "speed x bearing contact force". Speeds of more than 1 m/s should not be used, especially in dry

operation.

3.3 Guide Accuracy

In contrast to a bearing based on rolling elements (linear ball bearings), the functional principle of plain

bearings is based on a sufficiently large bearing clearance. This is in the order of magnitude of approx. 0.1

mm and can increase accordingly during the service life of the bearing. The accuracy of a bearing system

with plain bearings is therefore inevitably lower than that of a comparable bearing system based on

preloaded roller bearings.

The load-dependent deflection of the guide rods must be taken into account in the application. In addition, it

should be noted that a change in load direction also causes a displacement based on the height of the

bearing clearance.

4 Installation Instructions

4.1 Minimum Distances to adjacent Parts

When installing linear modules with metallic parts in the immediate vicinity of the rotor, undesirable forces

can occur due to magnetic attraction or eddy currents. These usually manifest themselves in a backward

positioning or reduced dynamics of the linear module. To prevent this, minimum distances must be taken into

account when designing with metallic materials in the immediate vicinity of the slider.

4.2 Mounting the Linear Module

Always observe the safety instructions in chapter 2 during installation!

The end plates of the linear module are used for mounting the linear module. For mounting, 2 threaded holes

are available on each of the side surfaces (transverse and upright) and 4 threaded holes on the end surface

of the end plate, thus offering a variety of mounting options. Unused threads can be closed and sealed with

screws.

In the next sections you will find 3 common mounting options for the SM02 linear modules.

The SM02 modules consist of several elements that are assembled and tested according to

precise specifications. The parallelism of the end plates is ensured with the help of a granite

block and must continue to be ensured even when installed. Fastening the end panels on

non-parallel planes can lead to distortion when tightening the screws at the fastening points.

During installation, the ease of movement of the carrier must be checked manually. If

increased friction is detected or the module is warped in a certain direction, the parallelism

of the two end plates must be ensured by mechanical fine adjustment or by compensating

elements.

Mechanical torsion due to the fastening must be avoided !

4.2.1 Set Up Mounting

For upright mounting, the module is mounted upright using the threaded holes provided (see chapter

"Dimensions") and the moving mounting plate is thus positioned vertically. For this type of mounting, the

module is screwed onto a flat surface from below.

Avoid torsion!

Installation Guide Linear Modules ENG

Seite 10 / 67 SM02-37 / SM02-48 NTI AG / LinMot

4.2.2 Lateral Mounting

For side mounting, the module is fixed to the outside of the end plates using the threaded holes provided

(see chapter "Dimensions"). The mounting plate of the linear module is vertical after mounting.

In order for the linear module to be mounted flat with the mounting plates, 3 recesses must

be provided for the screw heads protruding from the end plates.

4.2.3 Flat Mounting

For flat mounting, the module is fixed from below using the threaded holes provided (see chapter

"Dimensions"). After mounting, the mounting plate of the linear module is parallel to the mounted surface.

To prevent collisions between the moving connector outlet and adjacent parts, a distance of

at least 2.5 cm (see illustration below) must be provided.

4.3 Mounting the Load

The load is mounted on the moving mounting plate of the SM02 linear modules. For this purpose, threaded

holes and fits for dowel pins are machined into the plate.

Installation Guide Linear Modules ENG

NTI AG / LinMot SM02-37 / SM02-48 Seite 11 / 67

The complete dimensions of the moving mounting plate as well as the positions and specifications of the

threaded holes and fits can be found in chapter 12.

The centre of gravity of the mounted load mass should be centred and the load should be placed as close as

possible to the mounting plate. This ensures an even distribution of the mass and minimises the maximum

load on the linear module.

The holes provided must be used for mounting the load. Mechanical processing of the stator

is prohibited and all mechanical processing of the mounting plate is not recommended.

4.4 Mounting Cable Fixing Aids

With the SM02 modules, the drive moves together with the cable outlet. The cable must therefore be guided

so as not to fall below the permitted bending radii. The specification of the bending radii can be found in the

section "Motor cable". For the installation of cable fastening aids, threads are incorporated on the guide

elements as well as on the end plates.

Mounting plate

Installation Guide Linear Modules ENG

Seite 12 / 67 SM02-37 / SM02-48 NTI AG / LinMot

Cable drag chains can be mounted, for example, with the help of an angle element. The threaded holes on

the end plates are suitable for fastening the angle element.

The illustration above is an example of a mounting option. Depending on the installation

situation and the ambient conditions, the applicable rules must be observed. The angle

profile shown in the picture is not included in the scope of delivery or available. For self-

drainage of liquids, a minimum angle of 3° inclination must be planned for the horizontal

surface.

4.6 Combinations

4.6.1 Dual Module

The SM02 linear module can be combined with linear modules of the SM01 series. The moving mounting

plate is provided with the appropriate holes for this purpose. In the combination SM01 with SM02, mounting

with direction upright or flat is possible.

If the SM02 linear module is used upright, the SM01 linear module should preferably be

used with a MagSpring.

4.6.2 Gantry Module

A gantry module consists of two parallel SM02 linear modules. The modules are connected via the moving

mounting plates and thus provide the basis for many possible applications.

4.6.3 Gantry Portal

The formation of three horizontal axes and one or more Z-axes is called 3D Gantry Portal. This arrangement

makes it possible to move to any point on the surface covered. This gantry can be created with the SM01

and SM02 linear modules.

Installation Guide Linear Modules ENG

NTI AG / LinMot SM02-37 / SM02-48 Seite 15 / 67

4.6.4 Multi Axis Module

To be able to realise a multi-axis application, LinMot offers a suitable module. The SM02 multi-axis module

consists of several freely selectable carriages. Each carriage can be moved independently or synchronously.

The modules are available as ball bearing or plain bearing variants and are pre-assembled under a specific

item number. Each module is pre-programmed as plug & play.

• The stroke of a single carriage is reduced by additional carriages. The maximum stroke

with a number of n carriages is calculated as follows:

Stroke - ((n-1) * carriage length)

Carriage length SM02-37: 180 mm

Carriage length SM02-48x150G: 227 mm

Carriage length SM02-48x240F: 317 mm

• The maximum number of carriages is:

SM02-37: max. 6 carriages

SM02-48: max. 4 carriages

• If there are several carriages (number = n), the following elements are extended

accordingly:

n * motor cables

n * servo drives

Power supply dimensioning (according to design)

In the designation of the linear module, the abbreviation "nCS" indicates how many carriages are integrated.

See the following examples:

5 Electrical Connection

5.1 Motor Cable

Do not connect or disconnect motor when there is power on the servo drive.

Use only double-shielded original LinMot cable. Cables from other sources must be

checked precisely before commissioning.

Incorrect connections can destroy the drive and stator.

The stator is connected to protective earth via the motor cable. The screw connections of R

/ C connector must be tightened up to the stop.

Two types of cables are available for linear motors. Since the SM02 linear modules are

used exclusively with moving cables, the user needs either a high-flex cable (suitable for

trailing chains) or a robot cable.

5.2.3 Pin Assignment Linear Modules

Do not connect or disconnect motor when there is power on the servo drive.

Use only double-shielded original LinMot cable. Cables from other sources must be

checked precisely before commissioning.

Incorrect connections can destroy the drive and stator.

6 Start-up

6.1 Plug and Play

LinMot SM02 linear modules are "Plug and Play" capable (see motor label "PnP"). This means that they log

on to the drive independently. The module- and motor-specific parameters are automatically stored in the

drive, and the motor is ready for operation.

If the motor file is not automatically found in the installation directory of the software, the file can be reloaded

via the LinMot-Talk software as shown below.

6.2 Setting Motor Parameters

To configure the linear module, use the LinMot-Talk software from version 6.9. The software

and the corresponding detailed user manual can be downloaded from

https://linmot.com/download/linmot-talk-drive-configuration/ can be downloaded.

6.2.1 Application-specific Parameters

The various application-specific parameters, such as cable length, load mass, PID control settings, etc. are

set on the drive side via the Motor Wizard in the LinMot-Talk configuration program.

For this purpose, the LinMot-Talk software should be started first. Then the Motor Wizard can be opened.

To open it, please select the "Motor Wizard" icon in the task bar.

The Motor Wizard now guides the user step by step through the menu. The application parameters should

be entered as accurately as possible to ensure the best possible motor control.

6.2.2 Referencing the Linear Module

The built-in linear motor has a position detection system which must be referenced. Various modes are

available to the user for this purpose. Depending on the selected mode, the linear motor searches for a

mechanical stop and/or an electronic switch, for example.

Figure: Selection of reference run linear module

During homing, a metallic sounding noise may occur at the guide, depending on the

ambient temperature. This behaviour has no influence on the service life.

7 Spare Parts

7.1 Linear Ball Bearings

The SM02 linear modules are available with linear ball bearings or plain bearings. Both bearing types can be

exchanged. The linear ball bearings are greased at the factory with the food-grade lubricant LU02 (food-

grade: UH1 approval). The replacement interval of the bearings is determined by the function test of the

linear guide. See chapter 10.1.

7.1.1 Ordering Information

All 4 linear ball bearings with the 4 associated seals should be replaced per linear module.
