INFORMATION The positive direction of motion is a counterclockwise rotation. INFORMATION The Q-632 can be mounted on an optical stage with the Q-101.AP1 adapter plate. The adapter plate is available (p.
Page 21
5 Installation INFORMATION The contact of the Q-632 with the protective earth conductor is made as follows: Holes that are used for attaching the Q-632: − Four countersunk holes with ∅ 2.2 mm / ∅ 4.2 mm in the base body of the Q-632 ...
Page 22
5 Installation − For applications with large temperature changes: The surface should have the same thermal expansion properties as the Q-632 (e.g., underlying surface made of aluminum). − The surface flatness is ≤2 µm. You have accounted for the space required to route cables according to regulations and without bending them.
5 Installation Fixing the Load to the Q-632 NOTICE Impermissibly high forces and torques! Impermissibly high forces and torques that are applied to the motion platform can damage the Q-632. For fixing type and mass of the load, pay attention to the maximum permissible forces according to the specifications (p.
5 Installation − If you use locating pins for aligning the load: You made two to four locating holes of Ø 1.5 mm H7 in the load for accommodating locating pins. Tools and accessories 4 M2 screws of suitable length (p. 40) ...
