Can the motor be used underwater or in the presence of cutting fluids or oils?
Maybe and Yes. Our motors have never been used in underwater applications. They are unaffected however by cutting fluids and oils. • Can I used the motor in vertical applications? Yes. Ideally, you will also want to use a counterbalance. Experience has shown the pneumatic counterbalance to provide the best performance. Failsafe linear brakes are also available. • How important is mechanical alignment for optimal motor performance? For ironless motor, it’s not important at all. Trilogy Ironless motors are completely unaffected by misalignment provided the motor coil is not rubbing on the magnet track. We have provided a generous clearance between coil and track, so all you have to do is bolt it down and go. No tweaking is required. This also means that if a coil ever fails, then it can be quickly replaced without regard for any realignment procedures, shims etc. Ironcore motors require that the air gap be maintained at about 0.8-1.0mm. A slightly lesser or greater gap will change the fo
