Linear Axes HM-S and HT-S
HMS_HTS-01-0-EN-1905-MA
6.1 Assembling the linear axes
The HM-S/HT-S linear axes can be installed in any position. Fasteners must be applied to the axis’ aluminium profile. The HS
axis systems cannot just be installed in any position.
The axes can be secured to the mounting surface by means of clamping profiles (side grooves) or T nuts (grooves at bottom).
Bear in mind that, depending on the installation position, the linear axis weight acts as an additional load and that the actu-
ally induced forces and torques must remain within the permitted range (see catalogue “Linear Axes and Axis Systems HX”).
The axis’ aluminium profile has been extruded in compliance with EN 12020-2.
NOTE
If higher running precision is required, the axis must be aligned and secured to a precision reference edge.
NOTE
Please note the support spacing for each of the axis sizes (see Section 6.1.1, “Maximum support spacing for
linear axes HM-S and HT-S in self-supporting applications”).
Not only the end blocks may lie on the mounting surface.
The bolts must be secured to prevent them coming loose.
NOTE
NOTE
Warning! Electric shock or burns by contact with live parts!
Contact with live parts can result in injuries.
If the customer installs cables incorrectly, the constant motion inside the energy chain can cause chafing
and expose the electrical contact points.
Controller design complying with DIN EN 12100. No start after
