4.2.3 Magnet mounting
Mounting the U-magnet
The U-magnet is removable and can be used for profile- and rod-style
sensors. Using a non-magnetizable mounting device is mandatory.
The magnet must not rub against the measuring rod. Alignment errors
are compensated via the air gap.
– Max. surface pressure: 40 N/mm

– Max. tightening torque for M4 screws: 1 Nm;
use washer, if necessary

NOTICE
A maximum permissible air gap of 3 ±1mm (0.12 in.) must not be
exceeded.

4.2.2 Installation of RP
The position sensor can be installed in any position. Normally,
the sensor is firmly installed and the position magnet is fastened
to the mobile machine part. Thus it can travel along the measuring
rod contactlessly.
The sensor is fitted on a flat machine surface using the mounting
clamps (fig. 7). A length-dependent number of these clamps are
delivered with the sensor and must be distributed over the profile
at regular distances.
For fastening, we recommend using M5×20 screws to DIN 6912
that shout be tightened with a maximum torque of 5 Nm.

Alternative: If only limited space is available, the profile sensor can be mounted also via
the T-rail in the profile bottom using an M5 T-slot nut or a sliding block (fig. 8).

NOTICE
Don’t mount the sensors in the area of strong magnetic or electric
noise fields. Take care to mount the sensor in an axially parallel
position to avoid damaging the carriage, magnet and measuring rod.
The sensor is isolated from the machine ground. For this reason,
earthing via the flat-pin connector on the sensor electronics housing
is indispensable (fig. 9).
