Assembly Instructions
These instructions explain how to build one half of a single stage lift. Each REV Robotics 15mm Linear Motion Kit
contains enough hardware to create a 2-stage lift.
Step 1
Required Components:
Slider Plate
–
x1
M3 x 8mm Hex Cap Bolts
–
x2
M3 Nylon Locknuts
–
x2
Make sure the bolts are not fully tightened down so that
the whole assembly can be slid onto a piece of extrusion
later.
Step 2
Required Components:
Double Sided Slider
–
x1
M3 x 8mm Low Profile Socket Cap Bolts
–
x1
M3 Nut
–
x1
Be sure that you insert the bolt from the correct side
because the double-side slider is not completely
symmetric. The bolt head should be on the side with the
round cutout.
Step 3
When assembling the double-sided slider, only tighten the
nut so that it is flush with the bottom of the slider when
the bolt head is all the way down. There should be
clearance between the top of the nut and the slider as
shown.
Step 4
Insert the double-sided slider into the extrusion channel.
You may have to slightly loosen or tighten the nut so that
it will align with the channel.
Once the slider is fully inserted into the channel, tighten
the bolts just until snug,
OVERTIGHTENING MAY CAUSE
SLIDER DEFORMATION AND BINDING.
