Malfunction
Possible cause
Remedy
Current controller set
tings.
Optimise controller data (e.g. velocity, accelera
tion, ...).
Resonance oscillation
of the axis.
Change the travel velocity.
Wear on bearing or
guide.
–
Contact local Festo Service.
–
Replace axis
è
Toothed belt wear.
–
Contact local Festo Service.
–
Replace axis
è
Loud running noises,
vibrations or rough
running of the axis.
Insufficient lubrication
of guide.
Lubricate the guide
è
Vibrations on the slide.
Operation at the reson
ant frequency of the
axis.
–
Change the travel velocity.
–
Change the acceleration.
–
Increase axis stiffness (e.g. shorter support
distances).
–
Change the payload geometry.
Long oscillations of the
profile.
Resonant frequency of
profile and payload too
low.
–
Increase axis stiffness (e.g. shorter support
distances).
–
Change the payload geometry.
Coupling slips.
Check the mounting of the shafthub connection
è
Instruction manual for the motor mounting
kit, www.festo.com/sp.
Loads too high.
Reduce forces and torques. Consider dynamics.
Screws too long for fix
ing the attachment
component (e.g. pay
load).
Observe the screwin depth

Disassembly
WARNING!
Unexpected movement of components.
Injury due to impacts or crushing.
•
Before working on the product, switch off the control and secure it to prevent
it from being switched back on accidentally.
CAUTION!
For vertical or slanted mounting position: when power is off, moving parts can
travel or fall uncontrolled into the lower end position.
Injury due to impacts or crushing.
•
Bring moving parts of the product into a safe end position or secure them
against falling.
1. Remove electrical installations with accessories.
2. Remove motor and mounting kit.
3. Remove the mounting attachments.
4. Observe transport information
è
