L-406 Compact Linear Stage
INFORMATION
The use of locating pins during mounting reduces deviations from the ideal alignment of the L-
406.
If possible, simulate the positioner motions with a mounted load or make suitable
calculations to detect collisions or unfavorable center of gravity constellations.
If necessary, take suitable constructive measures to avoid collisions and instability in
the overall system.
Avoid or mark danger zones that result from the installation of the positioner and the
application, in accordance with the legal regulations.
5.2
Mounting the L-406 onto a Surface
NOTICE
Protruding screw heads!
Protruding screw heads can damage the L-406.
Ensure that the screw heads do not protrude from countersunk holes so that they do not
interfere with the motion.
NOTICE
Warping of the L-406 when mounted on uneven surfaces!
The L-406 could warp if mounted on an uneven surface. Warping reduces the accuracy.
Mount the L-
406 onto an even surface. The recommended flatness of the surface is ≤10
µm.
For applications with large temperature changes:
Mount the L-406 only onto surfaces that have the same or similar thermal expansion
properties as the L-406.
For mounting onto an underlying surface, the L-406 has mounting holes for M4 screws in its
base body. The number depends on the model:
L-406.1xxxxx:
4
mounting holes
L-406.2xxxxx, L-406.4xxxxx:
8
mounting holes
A sufficient number of screws and locating pins is included in the scope of delivery of the L-406.
