Please read these assembly instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place. These instructions form an integral part of the product Linear Unit with Spindle Drive LES4 – LES5 – LES6, regardless of whether these instructions are supplied/available in the form of an electronic storage medium (as PDF file on a CD, DVD or memory stick) or as a printed version.
In addition, it provides information and important notes for your safety. The isel-linear units LES4 – LES5 – LES6 are linear modules with ballscrew drives, which are ready to install. They are for use mainly in factory automation, handling technology and light machinery construc- tion.
Linear units with spindle drive LES 4, 5, 6 The product is classed as an 'incomplete machine' and not a (complete) machine according to MD 2006/42/EC. 5 / 43 January 2018...
230 V AC/50…60 Hz (1-phase AC power supply). You are advised to use the original mains adapter recommended by isel Germany AG (primary switching power supply: 230 V AC, secondary: 48 V DC) for the stepper motor or servo motor output stage IMD10/IMD20.

If the product malfunctions or you are unclear about its opera- tional status, you should consult the relevant operating instructions/assembly instructions. https://www.isel.com/en/support-downloads/manuals.html Here you will find instructions and information on how to check the functions you require, remove the causes of a possible malfunction or have these removed.
An incomplete machine is only intended to be installed into other machines or other incomplete machines or equipment, or joined together with these to form a machine as defined in this directive.' The linear units LES4 – LES5 – LES6 are intended for installation into a machine or into other incomplete machines.
The linear guide rails made by isel consist of rigid aluminium profiles with precision steel shafts. Isel FS guide slides are based on rolling steel balls on steel inserts and precision shafts guided through aluminium profiles. Four ballscrews are used in each FS guide slide. The recirculating balls are glass-fibre reinforced.

Drive modules Various drive modules with stepper motors, brushed servo motors (BDC) and brushless servo motors (BLDC) are available for the linear units LES4-6 as standard. These can be mounted: directly above a coupling, spacing bracket and adapter flange in extension of the ballscrew spindle sideways or integrated by means of a toothed belt step.

The linear unit is commissioned after mounting the relevant drive modules and any necessary cables. Follow the relevant instructions in the documentation of the motor modules, output stages or controls used. Incorrect assembly (including loading on the axle system), cabling or commissioning increases the risks. https://www.isel.com/en/support-downloads/manuals.html 28 / 43 January 2018...
The deviation tolerance is set down in DIN EN 12020-2. Isel linear units are plane-milled and any deviations generally fall below the tolerances. However, to achieve the desired guide accuracies and running performance, the axle system must either be laid out over an appropriately flat surface or arranged over levelling plates.
Linear units with spindle drive LES 4, 5, 6 Mounting on the guide slides A) Attaching the slides The guide slides have M6 threaded bores for attaching any transport loads. 6h7 centering bores make it possible to position and reproduce the fixing location precisely. The guide slide mounting surface is plane-milled.
