Product Description
404LXR Positioner
The 404LXR is a slotless, brushless linear servo motor/square rail bearing positioner housed within
a high strength, extruded aluminum body with magnetically retained protective seals. The
positioner is powered by a single rail of high energy rare earth magnets. Load bearing members
provide heavy load and moment capacity, dynamic stiffness and precise straightness and flatness
of travel. The positioner’s integral linear encoder provides high precision, non-contact positional
feedback with selectable resolutions from 0.1 to 5.0 microns. The positioner is also offered with
inductive proximity limit & home sensors, a “Quick Connect”, extended life, and a cable transport
system.
Unpacking
Unpacking
Carefully remove the positioner from the shipping crate and inspect the unit for any evidence of
shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your local authorized distributor. Please save
the shipping crate for damage inspection or future transportation.
Incorrect handling of the positioner may adversely affect the performance of the unit in its
application. Please observe the following guidelines for handling and mounting of your new
positioner.
•
DO NOT allow the positioner to drop onto the mounting surface. Dropping the positioner can generate
impact loads that may result in flat spots on bearing surfaces or misalignment of drive components.
•
DO NOT drill holes into the positioner. Drilling holes into the positioner can generate particles and
machining forces that may effect the operation of the positioner. Daedal will drill holes if necessary;
contact your local authorized distributor.
•
DO NOT subject the unit to impact loads such as hammering, riveting, etc. Impacts loads generated by
hammering or riveting may result in flat spots on bearing surfaces or misalignment of drive components.
•
DO NOT lift the positioner by cables or cable management system. Lifting postioner by cables or cable
management system may effect electrical connections and/or cable management assembly. The unit
should be lifted by the base structure only.
•
DO NOT push in magnetically retained strip seals when removing positioner from shipping crate.
Damaging strip seals may create additional friction during travel and may jeopardize the ability of the
strip seals to protect the interior of the positioner.
•
DO NOT submerge the positioner in liquids.
•
DO NOT disassemble positioner. Unauthorized adjustments may alter the positioner’s specifications and
void the product warranty.
