5.3 Mounting the P-616
NOTICE
Warping the P-616 when mounting onto uneven surfaces!
The P-616 could warp if mounted on an uneven surface. Warping reduces the accuracy.

Mount the P-616 onto a flat surface. The recommended flatness of the surface is ≤100 µm.

For applications with large temperature changes:
Mount the P-616 only onto surfaces that have the same or similar thermal expansion
properties as the P-616.
NOTICE
Protruding screw heads!
Protruding screw heads can damage the P-616.

Ensure that the screw heads do not protrude from countersunk holes so that they do not
interfere with the motion.
NOTICE
Cable break due to pull forces and bending of the cable!
Pull forces on the connecting cable and bending the cable can damage the P-616.

Avoid pull forces on the connecting cable.

Install the P-616 so that the cable is not bent or crushed too strongly.
