2 Device Description
2.1 Features
The PSx3xxPL positioning system, an intelligent, compact, complete solution for
positioning auxiliary and positioning axes, consists of an EC motor, gear power
amplifier, control electronics, absolute measuring system and EtherCAT interface.
The integrated absolute measuring system eliminates the need for a time-consuming
reference run. Connecting to a bus system simplifies the wiring. A hollow shaft with
adjustable collar makes assembly quite simple. The positioning system is especially
suitable for automatically setting tools, stops or spindles for wood-processing
equipment, packing lines, printing equipment, filling units and other types of special
machines.
PSx3xxPL positioning systems convert a digital positioning signal into an angle of
rotation.
If the device names are given without the diameter of the output shaft (-8, -
14), the relevant information is valid for all offered output shafts (applies
throughout the document).
‘x’ in the device name stands for a number in the range 0..9. ‘xx’ in the
device name stands for a number in the range 10..999.
2.2 Installation
Hollow shaft:
The PSx3xxPL is mounted onto the machine by sliding the hollow shaft of the
positioning gear onto the axis to be driven and then securing it with an adjustable
collar (recommended axis diameter 8h9 resp. 14h9; wrench torque for screw: 1.5Nm).
The adjustable collar should be tightened only just to the point where it can no longer
rotate freely.
Securing the pin under the hollow shaft into an appropriate bore will prevent further
rotation (if required, consider drawing on the website).
