for Selection, Installation and Use of Electric Motors and Generators.

 The National Electrical Code
 Local codes and practices

Limited Warranty

1. Baldor Electric motors are warranted for a period of one (1) year, from date of shipment from the factory or factory
warehouse against defects in material and workmanship. To allow for stocking and/or fabrication period and to
provide one year of actual service, the warranty period is extended for an additional period of six (6) months for a
total of eighteen (18) months from the original date of shipment from the factory or factory warehouse stock. In no
case will the warranty period be extended for a longer period. Baldor extends this limited warranty to each buyer
of the electric motor for the purpose of resale and to the original purchaser for use.

2. Baldor will, at its option repair or replace a motor which fails due to defects in material or workmanship during the
warranty period if:

a. the purchaser presents the defective motor at or ships it prepaid to, the Baldor plant in Fort Smith, Arkansas

or one of the Baldor Authorized Service Centers and

b. the purchaser gives written notification concerning the motor and the claimed defect including the date

purchased, the task performed by the Baldor motor and the problem encountered.

3. Baldor will not pay the cost of removal of any electric motor from any equipment, the cost of delivery to Fort Smith,
Arkansas or a Baldor Authorized Service Center, or the cost of any incidental or consequential damages resulting
from the claimed defects. (Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.) Any implied warranty given by laws shall be limited to
the duration of the warranty period hereunder. (Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.)

4. Baldor Authorized Service Centers, when convinced to their satisfaction that a Baldor motor developed defects in
material or workmanship within the warranty period, are authorized to proceed with the required repairs to fulfill
Baldor’s warranty when the cost of such repairs to be paid by Baldor does not exceed Baldor’s warranty repair
allowance. Baldor will not pay overtime premium repair charges without prior written authorization.

5. The cost of warranty repairs made by centers other than Baldor Authorized Service Centers WILL NOT
unless first authorized in writing by Baldor.

6. Claims by a purchaser that a motor is defective even when a failure results within one hour after being placed into
service are not always justified. Therefore, Baldor Authorized Service Centers must determine from the condition
of the motor as delivered to the center whether or not the motor is defective. If in the opinion of a Baldor
Authorized Service Center, a motor did not fail as a result of defects in material or workmanship, the center is to
proceed with repairs only if the purchaser agrees to pay for such repairs. If the decision is in dispute, the
purchaser should still pay for the repairs and submit the paid invoice and the Authorized Service Center’s signed
service report to Baldor for further consideration.

7. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

1-2 General Information MN1800

Receiving Each Baldor motor is thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for

shipment. When you receive your motor, there are several things you should do
immediately.

1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage
immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your motor.

2. Verify that the part number of the motor you received is the same as the part
number listed on your purchase order.

Storage If the parts are not put into service immediately, store them in a clean, dry and warm

location. If the storage location is damp or humid, the exposed metal surface of the
motors and windings must be protected from moisture. If the ambient temperature
decreases suddenly, condensation may form. Protect all parts from moisture.

Unpacking Each Baldor motor is packaged for ease of handling and to prevent entry of

contaminants.

1. To avoid condensation inside the motor, do not unpack until the motor has
reached room temperature. (Room temperature is the temperature of the room
in which it will be installed). The packing provides insulation from temperature
changes during transportation.

2. When the motor has reached room temperature, remove all protective wrapping
material from the motor.

3. The magnet track sections may come packaged in one or more boxes. Do not
flip any magnet track sections inside the box. Unpack the magnet track
sections one piece at a time. Place each section on a clean non–magnetic
surface away from other magnet track sections and any other ferrous material.

4. Always keep the magnet track sections at a safe distance from each other. If
the assemblies are to be left unattended for any period of time, precautions
should be taken to prevent accidents due to the strength of the magnets (it is
best to leave them in their packing material to prevent injury due to magnetic
attraction). Persons who will come in contact with this assembly while
receiving, transporting, storing, installing, disassembling or at any other time,
must be made aware of this danger.

Handling Be extremely careful. Keep in mind:

1. The magnetic attraction between the motor and the magnet assembly is
extremely high. Keep fingers and other body parts away from these objects to
avoid injury by this magnetic attraction.

2. Use proper care and procedures that are safe during handling, lifting, installing,
operating and maintaining operations.
Improper methods may cause muscle strain or other harm.

Section 2
Installation & Operation

Overview Installation should conform to the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and

practices. When other devices are coupled to the motor, be sure to install protective
devices to prevent accidents. Machinery that is accessible to personnel should provide
protection in the form of guard rails, screening, warning signs etc.

Location The motor should be installed in an area that is protected from direct sunlight, corrosives,

harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, welding spatters and vibration.
Exposure to these can reduce the operating life and degrade performance. Be sure to
allow clearance for ventilation and access for cleaning, repair, service and inspections.
Ventilation is extremely important. Be sure the area for ventilation is not obstructed.
Obstructions limit the free passage of air. Motors get warm and the heat must be
dissipated to prevent damage.

These motors are not designed for atmospheric conditions that require explosion proof
operation. They must NOT
or dust.

Clean Room Stages prepared for Class 10, 100 and 10,000 clean room requirements can be ordered

as an option to our standard products. Materials must be suitable for the specified
environment. The customer must perform the final cleaning due to contamination during
shipping and handling.

The most common changes to the stages include the replacement of the bellows,
installation of special greases, elimination of bearing shields and the removal of other
non–critical components that may contribute to particle generation.

Mounting a Stage to the Machine Base and Payload To Stage

S Your stage is provided with mounting holes to attach the stage to a machine base. If

your stage is supplied with bellows, you must remove the bellows to access the
mounting holes. The mounting holes are typically non–threaded, counter–bored
holes that accommodate a variety of screw sizes. It is recommended that a
hardened machine screw be used. Refer to the mechanical drawings provided with
your stage for mounting screw size and hole locations.

S The flatness of your mounting surface will greatly influence the flatness and

straightness specification of your stage. The stage structure will tend to mirror the
flatness of the mounting surface. For the stage to maintain its specification, it must
be mounted to a surface that is flat (maximum error of 0.0005 inches per foot). A
maximum of 0.010 inches per foot is the maximum mounting surface flatness error
allowable for operation of the stage. However, at 0.010 inches per foot mounting
base flatness, the stage flatness and straightness specification will be degraded.

S The mounting surface must be clean and free of particles that could affect flatness

(particles that come between the stage and the mounting surface) . It is also
recommended that the base of the stage be cleaned to remove contamination.
Cleaning with alcohol or acetone is suggested, however avoid submersion or
contamination of the internal components.

S When mounting the payload to the slide assembly, use the same precautions

mentioned for the stage. Refer to the stage outline drawing for hole locations and
specifications.

S When pinning is required, Baldor recommends that the stage be machined and

assembled at the factory.

Note: It is strongly recommended that a thread locking compound be used when

mounting the stage to the base and when mounting the payload to the slide
assembly.

LMAC Linear Induction Motor

General Description: Single or three phase, linear AC induction motor primary.
Construction: Epoxy encapsulated and steel laminated coil assembly (motor primary) Motor secondary

(customer supplied) must conform to the following specifications: 1/8–inch aluminum or
copper plate backed by a
be at least the with of the motor coil assembly.

Maintenance: Motor should be kept dry and relatively free of contamination. This motor is water

resistant, not water proof. Avoid submersion. Avoid contact with petroleum–based
solvents. Alcohol or soapy water can be used to remove contaminants.

Motor specifications: Refer to catalog or outline drawing supplied with motor for mechanical dimensions and

electrical specifications.

Motor Mounting: Your motor may be supplied with either base or foot mounting, refer to catalog or outline

drawing supplied with motor for mounting details and hole dimensions. It is
recommended that all available coil assembly mounting holes be utilized to properly
secure the coil assembly. If the coil is in motion, the motor wires must be strain relieved.
We recommend that the motor secondary be secured with 1/4inch fasteners on the left
and right sides of the secondary, every four to six inches of its length. An air–gap of 1/8
inch is recommended. Refer to linear induction motor duty cycle–force–current curves in
this booklet for information regarding the affects of air–cap size on motor performance.

Electrical Connections For voltage and current specifications, refer to Catalog BR1800 or to documentation

enclosed for custom motors. The 10 foot flying leads can be cut to remove excess length
if required. Connectors are available; contact a Baldor representative for more
information.

For single phase motors, refer to the table supplied with this booklet for capacitor
selection.

Mounting The motor primary must be aligned (parallel) to the equipment guide ways within 0.005″

(0.127mm) on each end. Use gauge blocks and shims as necessary. Precise parallel
alignment of the motor to the equipment guideways is required. Align the stationary half
of the motor to the guideways. Then align the moving half with the stationary half.

When securing the primary to the equipment base do not allow the screws to penetrate
the motor more than .25″ deep (to prevent damage to the motor windings).

To mount the motor secondary, slide the table over the secondary and align the mounting
holes. The secondary is to be secured to the moving table with screws after the proper
amount of shims are added to maintain an air gap of .015″ min. to .020″ max. (unless
otherwise specified) between the secondary and the primary. This is achieved by
ensuring that the plastic shim provided does not bind anywhere over the length of the
primary when moving the table top with secondary back and forth by hand.

The plastic shim between the primary and the secondary can now be removed. Be sure
that the secondary is centered and runs parallel to the commutator to within .005″ at each
end.

Electrical Check: With an ohmmeter across input terminals, verify that the resistance reading does not drop

to zero when the secondary / commutator assembly is moved over the entire length of the
stationary primary. If a zero reading is observed, inspect the connections between the
commutator brushes and the power input wires. In addition, inspect the connections
between the motor windings and the commutator bar.

Motor Removal: Insert the plastic shim between the primary and secondary to maintain the air gap. First,

disconnect the power input wires. Next, remove the screws between the secondary and
the moving table as this allows the secondary to sit on the primary. Then remove the
mounting screws between the primary and the base. Finally, the complete motor
assembly can be removed and placed on a level, flat surface.

Secondary Removal: If just the secondary must be removed,slide the table with the secondary attached, to one

end of the primary. Insert a .015″ minimum plastic shim between the secondary and the
primary to maintain the air gap. Remove the screws between the secondary and the
sliding table. Move the table out of the way and slide the secondary out using extreme
caution so as to not damage the brushes. If brushes are worn out, contact Northern
Magnetics for replacement.

Secondary Reinstallation: Place .015″ minimum plastic shim on primary face. Next place .015″ min fiberglass shims

on the brush assembly and completely depress the brushes into their holders. With the
brushes toward the commutator bars, slide the secondary onto the primary face (with the
shim in place). When the secondary is in place, gently remove the shim from between
the brushes and commutator bars.

Note: Ensure that the shim between commutator and brushes has rounded ends

and that they do not cut the leads to the commutator bars.

Refer to “Mounting” instructions to reinstall.

Positioning Stages

Unpacking Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to

the commercial carrier that delivered your stage. Carefully remove the positioning stage
from the shipping crate or box. Inspect the stage and report any evidence of damage to
your local Baldor sales office or authorized distributor. Save the shipping container for
future transportation.

Handling and General Guidelines Be sure to observe the following guidelines:

1. Carefully set the positing stage in place. Do not drop a positioning stage onto
the mounting surface or machine base as this can result in internal damage to
bearing and drive components.

2. Do not drill holes in a positing stage. Contact Baldor if holes must be added.

3. Avoid impact loads such as hammering and punching which may cause internal
damage to bearing and drive components.

4. Avoid submersion in liquids of all types.

5. Do not disassemble the positioning stage as this may void the product warranty.

Stage Specifications Disclaimer

Positioning stage specifications are dependant on the three following variables:
Temperature: Catalog specifications are measured at 25 degrees Celsius.

Measurements of performance at other temperatures may yield different measurements.
Minimum ambient operating temperature: 5 degrees Celsius. Maximum ambient
operating temperature: 75 degrees Celsius. The positioning stage can be modified by
Baldor to allow the unit to be operated at temperatures outside of this range. Contact
Baldor for more information.

Point of measurement: Catalog specifications are measured 25mm above the slide

Bearing Maintenance

Recirculating Bearing Rail And Block

Lubrication type: For grease lubrication, a lithium–soap base grease (consistency

No. 2 of JIS) is most frequently used. For linear guides operating under a heavy load, a
grease containing extreme pressure additive is recommended.

Maintenance procedure: Clean rails with clean cloth. Apply a thin film of grease onto
the rail. Manually pass the bearing block down the rail and allow the grease to pass
through the wipers on the leading and trailing edges of the bearing block. Wipe away any
excess grease. Avoid excess grease to achieve the lowest friction resistance.

Some bearings are supplied with special grease fittings. Contact Baldor for specific
instructions for these fittings.

Frequency of maintenance: Recirculating bearing rails are lubricated by Baldor prior to
shipment of the positioning stage. Inspect the rails frequently and apply grease at least
once each year. Frequency of maintenance depends on factors including duty cycle and
environment. Inspect for contamination, damage, corrosion, etc.

Note: Do not mix synthetic greases with petroleum based greases. For special

Cross Roller Type Bearing

Lubrication type: Usually these bearings do not require additional lubrication. However,

in applications where the duty cycle is high with rapid motion, lubrication with lithium, non
paraffin base bearing grease is recommended. A mineral based grease with a viscosity
of 15 to 30 is recommended

Maintenance procedure: Apply a thin film of grease into the “V” surface of the bearing
rail. Avoid excess grease to achieve the lowest friction resistance.

Frequency of maintenance: Cross roller bearing assemblies are designed to provide
long, trouble free working life and require minimal maintenance. Cross roller bearing rails
are lubricated by Baldor prior to shipment of the positioning stage. We recommend that
you inspect the rails frequently and apply grease at least once each year. Frequency of
maintenance depends on factors including duty cycle and environment. Inspect for
contamination, damage, corrosion, etc.

requirements lubrication, consult Baldor.

Encoder Maintenance

RSF Series MSA6x Enclosed Type

Technical Data: Linear encoders measure the position of linear axis without mechanical

translation components. This reduces the potential error due to thermal behavior of the
linear motor and backlash from mechanical translation.

Encoder type: Non contact optical, sealed type. Sealed linear encoders are used in
harsh environments in such applications as milling machines, drilling machines, grinding
machines, lathes, electrical discharge machines, and welding machines.

Mechanical design: Glass scale, optical scanning unit, high flex twisted shielded cable.
Encoder scale, optical scanning unit and guide–way are protected from chips, swarf, dirt
and fluids by an aluminum housing and flexible rubber type seals. The optical scanning
unit travels on a low friction guide within the encoder enclosure.

Maintenance: The exterior of the encoder should be inspected and cleaned. An alcohol
or soapy water saturated cloth is usually effective for removing external contamination. If
the internal components are contaminated, please consult with Baldor or an authorized
distributor for assistance. (DO NOT attempt to dissemble the encoder enclosure).

RSF Series MS6x Open Type Glass Scale

Encoder type: Non contact optical, glass scale, open type. Open scale linear encoders

are used primarily where environmental conditions are clean, dry and free of oils. Due to
the fragile nature of the encoder scale, extra care should be taken to prevent physical
damage from impact or abrasion.

Mechanical design: Glass scale, optical scanning unit, high flex twisted shielded cable.
Encoder is adhered to stage surface with a two part, releasable bonding agent. (DO NOT
attempt to remove the scale from the stage surface, for this will permanently damage the
encoder scale. Contact Baldor or an authorized distributor for assistance)

Maintenance: The encoder scale can be cleaned with alcohol. Avoid chemicals such as
acetone, MEK, and other solvents and soaps that can damage the scale or leave a film.
The encoder optical scanning unit should be treated with great care as not to scratch or
mar the external read head surface. If cleaning is required, the encoder read head
surface can be cleaned with alcohol. (Avoid submersion). Using a cotton swab, lightly
wipe clean the contaminated surfaces. If removal of the encoder optical read head is
required, consult with Baldor or an authorized distributor.

ELGO Mix 4 series Magnetic Type

Encoder type: Non contact, magnetic, open type. Open scale linear encoders are used

primarily where environmental conditions are clean, dry and free of oils. The magnetic
encoder scale is susceptible to damage from magnetic fields. Great care should be taken
to isolate the magnetic scale from magnets, static electricity, and electrical current.

Mechanical design: Magnetic scale with stainless steel protective cover, magnetic
sensor unit, high flex twisted shielded cable. The magnetic linear encoder system
features an integrated sensor and translator with a one shot marker pulse output (Elgo
Mix 4). With the one shot marker pulse, the encoder can send a marker pulse once after
power–up when it passes the marker tape (maximum speed 0.1 m/second). Encoder is
bonded to the stage surface with a double sided industrial adhesive tape. (DO NOT
attempt to remove the scale from the stage surface, for this will permanently damage the
encoder scale. Contact Baldor or an authorized distributor for assistance).

Maintenance: The encoder scale can be cleaned with soapy water or alcohol. Avoid
chemicals such as acetone, MEK, and other solvents. The encoder magnetic scanning
unit should be treated with great care as not to scratch or mar the external read head
surface. If cleaning is required, the encoder read head surface can be cleaned with

Cables and Cable Chain Procedures

If your positioning stage is supplied with a cable chain, follow these recommendations
regarding its use:

S Your stage is supplied with high flex cables that are designed to withstand

S The cable chain must never be more than 80% filled. Additional cables,

S If your stage was provided with flying leads, Baldor recommends that the cables

S To install additional cables and pneumatic hoses you must open one side of the

S Baldor recommends that you inspect the cables and pneumatic hoses during

Note: If your cable chain is not large enough to accommodate your cables and

millions of bend cycles. In addition, the internal conductors of the cable are
twisted and shielded. A twisted, shielded cable reduces the problems
associated with EMI and EFI noise. Using other types of cable may cause
difficultly during servo tune procedure. Baldor recommends that any additional
cables installed into the cable chain conform to this standard.

pneumatic hoses, etc. contained by the cable chain require enough space to
freely bend and conform to the cable chain without kinking or cork screwing as
the stage cycles. The cables and pneumatic hoses must be installed without
twists and should never be put on top of one another in high velocity and high
cycle applications.

be strain relieved, i.e. clamp the cables as they exit the cable chain to relieve
tensile loads. Be sure not to pull the cables out of the cable chain making them
“taut” inside the chain. Allow the cables to freely lay within the cable chain and
find their natural position.

cable chain. Typically the side of the cable chain facing the cable chain tray is
the side that opens. Gently pull one end of the removable side toward the
opposite end of the cable chain. Slowly pull the removable side loose,
detaching the plastic segments. The segments are loosely attached to each
other and may become separated. Be careful that the segments are not lost.
To re–install the cable chain segments, it is recommended that a section of
three or four segments be done at a time. Once a section is installed,
additional sections can be easily assembled into place.
