Align and Secure Motors and Switches
Once all motors and switches are properly located, either after initial installation or after
maintenance or replacement, the rails on the motors must be aligned from motor to motor (or
switch). When aligning and securing the ends of the rails together, a V-brace is attached over
the alignment blocks on both rails on each motor.
NOTE:
To align and secure railless motors, refer to
Align and Secure Railless Motors
.

1.
Loosen the M6 bolt securing the motor to the motor mount for all motors or switches
being adjusted if necessary.
2.
For aluminum rails, install the V-braces at all guide rail joints using M6 x 12 mm
screws and tighten finger-tight to pull the rails together.
NOTE:
The guide rail joints on the aluminum rails contain locking inserts, which
will limit the depth of insertion when finger tightening.
For stainless steel rails, install the V-braces at all guide rail joints using M6 x 12 mm
screws with Loctite 243 and tighten finger-tight to pull the rails together.
3.
Using fingers, align the rails at the motor joints as shown in
. Tighten the
two M6 x 12 mm screws on each V-brace at that motor joint to 3.4 N-m [30 in-lb]
using a T30 Torx bit.
