Linear units with spindle drive LES 4, 5, 6

Mounting the gas pressure spring attachment kit (accessories)
The gas pressure spring serves to compensate the weight in vertical
linear units.
The gas pressure spring attachment kit can be mounted subsequently
as an accessory.
The force of the gas pressure spring remains constant across its entire hub.
Two sizes with different hubs and
spring forces are available.
Note the maximum permissible speed of the gas pressure spring
since safe guidance is not guaranteed if this is exceeded.

The adjacent explosion diagram shows mounting the gas pressure spring attachment kit
to the linear unit LES 5.
Note that the connecting plate VP2 (4) is already mounted or must be mounted on the guide
slide (accessories - slide plates).
Remove the bottom cover (10)
of the linear unit with the lens head screws (9).
Push the mounting block (1) with the double glide nut (5) and
cylinder screws M6 x 25 (6) into the lateral nut from below and attach
this only loosely.
Take the connecting plate (4) right to the bottom and attach
the mounting block (2) to it with the lens head screw M6 x 22 (8).
The cylinder screw M6 x 30 (7) goes through the connecting plate (4)
and makes it possible to disassemble the whole of the linear unit, without
removing the gas pressure spring attachment kit.
Insert the gas pressure spring (3) loosely into the top mounting block (1)
and attach the piston rod with the thread
to the bottom mounting block (2). Make sure that the piston
rod is screwed in only approx. ½ a turn before screwing tightly,
to prevent tilting.
Lower the top mounting block (1) onto the gas pressure
spring (3) and attach it with the cylinder screws M6 x 25 (6).
