5.3 Installing the V-273 in a Mechanical Mounting
NOTICE
Damage and reduced performance due to torque at the rod!
An excessive torque at the rod of the V-273 can damage the drive or reduce the
performance of the drive.
Make sure that the rod can be easily moved over the entire travel range.
NOTICE
Increased friction due to lateral forces on the rod!
Lateral forces that act on the rod of the V-273 increase the friction between the rod
and internal drive components. Increased friction impairs the motion of the rod and
increases the wear of the drive components.
Avoid lateral forces on the rod of the V-273.
NOTICE
Screws that are too long!
Screws that are inserted too deeply damage the V-273.
Observe the maximum screw-in depth for the mounting holes (p. 37).
Only use screws of the correct length for the respective mounting holes.
NOTICE
Warping of the V-273 due to mounting on uneven surfaces!
Mounting the V-273 on an uneven surface can warp the V-273. Warping reduces the
accuracy.
Mount the V-273 on an even surface. The recommended evenness of the
surface is ≤20 µm.
For applications with great temperature changes:
Only mount the V-273 on surfaces that have the same or similar thermal
expansion properties as the V-273 (e.g. surfaces made of aluminum).
