Linear Axes HM-S and HT-S

7.2 Cleaning the linear axis
Thanks to their layout and optional cover strips, HM-S/HT-S linear axes are insensitive to penetration by contaminants and
foreign particles. Nevertheless, the linear axis must be examined and its outside cleaned at regular intervals.
Note the following points when cleaning:
Do not use compressed air.
The surface is anodised and therefore only partially resistant to alkaline cleaning agents. Only neutral cleaning agents
may be used for cleaning.
Regularly remove coarse particles from the surface. Ideal is a moistened, soft, and lint free cleaning cloth.
The cover strip is exposed to friction and therefore abrasion. Remove the abrasion particles regularly.
7.3 Replacing the cover strip
7.3.1 Replacing the cover strip for linear modules HM-S
The cover strip must be changed as soon as there are any signs of rippling and it can no longer be held in position by the
magnetic strips. In this case, a sufficient sealing is no longer guaranteed.
Undo the clamping screw of the cover strip clamp at both ends of the axis as shown in Fig. 7.10.
Undo the carriage end piece screws. Remove the end pieces from both ends of all carriages (see Fig. 7.8).
Undo the cover strip deflection screws. Remove the cover strip deflection from both ends of all carriages (see Fig. 7.6).
Now remove the cover strip and the slide film by pulling them both out of the carriage profile.
Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt from the cover strip clamp, carriage end piece, cover strip deflection
and slide film.
Cut the new cover strip to the same length as the one that you have removed.
Insert the cover strip through the upper opening in the carriage profile as shown in Fig. 7.4.
Thread the cover strip deflection onto the cover strip at both ends of the carriage. Make sure that the cover strip deflec-
tion is correctly oriented as shown in Fig. 7.5.
Hand-tighten the cover strip deflection screws.
Push the slide film through the upper opening in the cover strip deflection as shown in Fig. 7.7 and align it centrally in
the longitudinal direction.
Place the carriage end pieces on the cover strip deflection as shown in Fig. 7.8 and hand-tighten the mounting screws.
Push the ends of the cover strip under the cover strip clamp on both sides. Make sure that the cover strip is aligned
centrally with the axis profile and that it is in contact with the magnetic strips across the entire length. Hand-tighten
the clamping screws of the cover strip clamp (see Fig. 7.9 and Fig. 7.10).
Move the carriages to both end positions and check that the cover strip is seated correctly. If necessary, loosen the
cover strip clamp screws again, realign the cover strip and then retighten the screws.
The new cover strip has been mounted.
Danger of cutting injuries!
Installing or removing the cover strip may cause cutting injuries.
Only qualified personnel wearing appropriate protective equipment (gloves, goggles) may be assigned to
commissioning and setup!
WARNING!
Warning! Health and environmental hazards!
Contact with lubricants may cause irritation, poisoning, allergic reactions, and damage to the environment.
Use only suitable, non-hazardous agents. Note the manufacturer’s safety data sheets!
Ensure proper disposal!
ATTENTION!
