Open the catalog to page 6ITG Ironcore linear motor manual General Safety Considerations Confirm that the entire setup complies with CE requirements. Magnet plates generate intense magnetic attraction toward ferromagnetic materials (e.g., iron). Maintain a 25 cm clearance from such objects. Always secure magnet plates before removing protective covers, and reattach covers prior to disassembly. Keep sensitive items (e.g., credit cards, medical devices) at least 1 meter away from magnet plates. Precautionary Measures • Grounding: Verify proper grounding of the power supply during installation. • Power Disconnection: Turn...

Open the catalog to page 14ITG Ironcore linear motor manual Individual iron core coils can be paired together. This can be achieved on two separate magnet tracks for gantry-style applications or on a single magnet track to generate greater force. The latter option is particularly advantageous for reducing costs in long-stroke applications. By coupling two coils, a smaller series coil and magnet track can be utilized, which helps lower the overall cost of the magnet track. Magnet length calculation with coil unit length Hr = Required stroke 440mm Lc = IC76-6 Coil unit length 146mm Mpl = Magnet plate length 288mm Required...
Open the catalog to page 15ITG Ironcore linear motor manual Table 3.2 states the location where the effective area of a coil starts and ends. The air gap between the magnet plates and the coil unit can be adjusted to address tolerance issues related to clearance, parallelism, or flatness. Increasing the air gap is often beneficial, especially for large-axis configurations, as it helps mitigate alignment challenges. However, reducing the air gap is not recommended due to the tight mechanical tolerances required, which can increase design complexity and costs. ITG does not specify a nominal air gap because the casted finish...
