Mounting

 Select mounting components 

è

 www.festo.com/catalogue.

 Mount the mounting components outside the positioning range

to avoid collisions.

 Fasten axis to the profile (e.g. with profile mounting EAHF-L2).

 Tighten screws evenly.

Attachment

Prerequisites

Note

A warped attachment component bends the slide

and shortens the service life of the guide.

 Use an attachment component with an even

surface.

Evenness: t = 0.01 mm

Fig. 5

t

 Place rated load in such a way that the break-down torque res­

ulting from force F (parallel to the axis of motion) and lever arm

“a” are kept as small as possible 

è

 Avoid collisions of the mounting part and payload with other

mounting parts

a

 F

Fig. 6

Mounting

 Fasten the attachment to the slide with screws and centring

sleeves. Observe screw-in depth D and tightening torque

è

 Tab. 1.

For attachment components with their own guide:

 Adjust the guide and axis so that they are exactly parallel, or use

a connection that permits tolerance compensation. In this way,

the guide is not overloaded.
