Installing the Guide Rail
1. Using Assembly Set 8 PS 4-20 Rail (0.0.681.06) to fit a single Rail to one Line 8 groove
Place the Profile Rail upside down on a flat and firm
surface.
Next, press the installation sleeves as far as they will go
into the fastening bores of the Rail.
Swivel the T-Slot Nuts from the Fastening Sets into the
profile groove and spread them out with the relevant
spacing (60 mm).
Place the Rail on the groove, with the sleeves facing
onto the groove. The holes in the Rail should be perfectly
aligned with the holes in the T-Slot Nuts.
Due to internal stresses that can be generated when Rails
are ground to shape, a Rail may not be perfectly straight
when supplied.
However, the installation sleeves ensure that the Rail is in
line with the profile.
If a Rail has to be shortened, it is important to ensure
when subsequently aligning the Rail that the Carriage can
be slotted on at the non-shortened end.
If the Rail is being installed flush to an enclosing construc-
tion, the Carriage must be slotted onto the Rail prior to
assembly.
Profiles in a “light” or “E” variant should not be used as
support profiles.
The permissible load for a linear guide system depends
on the load-carrying capacity of the guiding elements, the
strength of the screw connections and the design of the
profile frame.
