Safety

General safety instructions

The device is built according to current state-of-the-art technology and applicable regulations. The device
complies with the EU machinery directive, harmonised standards, European standards or the applicable
national standards. This is confirmed with a manufacturer's declaration.
Relevant accident prevention regulations, generally accepted safety-related rules, EU guidelines, other
applicable standards and country-specific regulations are also applicable.
Because linear units can be used in such a wide range of applications, the ultimate responsibility and liability
for appropriate use lies with the end user.
This device creates an unavoidable residual risk for personal injury and material damage. For this reason,
every individual who works on this device associated with the transport, assembly, operating, maintenance
and repair of the device, must receive instruction and understand the potential dangers. The operating
instructions must be understood and observed.
In addition, actuating equipment poses a risk of injury due to rotating or otherwise moving components. Due
to moving carriages, operational linear axes particularly pose an increased crushing hazard, especially in
connection with end position dampers and limit switches. The user must make these residual risks known
with signs or written codes of conduct. Alternative, the user can eliminate or exclude these residual risks to
the greatest extent possible by employing appropriate constructive measures.
The noise level can increase at high speeds, special applications and at accumulation of more noise sources.
The user must take the appropriate protective measures.
Linear unit start-up is prohibited until it can be established that the machine or system in which it is mounted
conforms to EU machinery directives, harmonised standards, European standards or applicable national
standards.

Intended use

NTN-SNR linear axes and NTN-SNR linear tables are fundamentally designated for linear movement as
occurs during positioning, synchronisation, transport, palletising, loading, unloading, clamping, tightening,
testing, measuring, handling and manipulating components or tools. Type-specific load data from the
relevant catalogue documentation and/or NTN-SNR supplementary technical calculations must be observed.
Furthermore, an operating temperature between –10°C to +40°C must be adhered to.
Alternative or excessive use is considered improper use. The manufacturer assumes no liability for resulting
damages. The user bears sole responsibility for all risks.
The linear axis may only be operated and serviced by individuals familiar with the axis and who have been
instructed in the dangers.
Special provisions can be made for applications (as example food industry, clean room etc.) which deviate
from the standard modifications.
