General Notes on Installing
NOTICE
Increased friction due to lateral forces on the rod!
Lateral forces acting on the rod of the linear drive increase the friction between the
rod and other components of the drive. Increased friction interferes with the
motion of the rod and increases wear on the drive components.
Avoid lateral forces on the rod of the linear drive.
Align the base body, rod and guiding exactly to each other over the entire travel
range.
If possible, use high-quality linear guidings that were specially designed for
high-precision applications (e.g., crossed roller bearings or roller bearings).
Avoid moving the rod of the N-422 by hand.
NOTICE
Damage from pulling or moving out the rod!
Completely pulling or moving the rod out from the base body will destroy the N-
422.
Do
not
pull or move the rod out from the base body of the N-422.
Design the positioning system so that the free end of the rod still protrudes
from the base body of the N-422 even when the travel range is used
completely.
Limit the travel range in a suitable way, i.e. with a mechanical hard stop in the
positioning system.
