The LE linear module consists of the basic unit (1) and the cantilever arm (2). The primary part (7) of the linear motor, the measuring head (5) and the motor or encoder connector (11) are integrated in the slide. The cantilever arm (2) consists of an alu- minium profile (2) with the mounted-on linear guide (6), secondary parts (8) and measuring tape (4).
2.1.3 Installation, Connection WARNING The LE linear modules are moved by the electric control. If the linear modules cannot move freely there is danger of injuries and bruises near the add-ons. If add-ons at the LE linear modules could cause danger in con- nection with the moving slide or superstructures a safe opera- tion must be ensured.
2.1.4 Installation and mounting options The LE linear modules are designed for cantilever operation. They can however also be used as gantry version. Cantilever operation Gantry application Movable cantilever Firmly mounted cantilever Firmly mounted slide Movable slide Useful load on the cantilever arm Useful load on the slide NOTE Please note:...
The mounting grids and the mounting threads are shown on the dimensional draw- ings in chapter 3.5, page 19 of these Montage Instructions. (Further accessories can be found in the technical catalogue or on the website www.afag.com Use the centering bushings included in the scope of supply to determine the position and insert these bushings in the opposite borings of the mounting grid.
2.1.5 Installation into a system The series of the LE linear modules is used for the linear, smooth movement of rigid- ly mounted loads under the ambient and Installation conditions defined for this mod- ule, see Technical data in chapter 3.5 of these Installation Instructions. DANGER The LE linear modules must not be used in an explosion- hazardous environment.

Modifications on the module that are not described in this Montage In- structions or have not been approved in writing by Afag are not permitted. In case of improper changes or assembly, installation, operation, maintenance or repairs, Afag AG rejects all liability.
3.1.4 Noise emissions NOTE The LE linear module generates 72 dB(A) in full-load operation. De- pending on the add-ons, the environment and the resonance of the protective device these values may be exceeded and result in a dis- turbing higher noise level. CAUTION It is the responsibility of the system manufacturer to ensure that the permitted noise limit values are complied with.
Observe the Montage Instructions of the control system used. 3.1.6 Preparation for commissioning The LE linear module is designed for being operated with the Afag SE-Power control system. It can also be operated with other controller types. Operation of the SE-Power control system is described in the separate operating in- structions.
3.1.7 Commissioning CAUTION The commissioning of the axle system should be set-up or Step operation done. Incorrect programming can uncontrolled movement of the axle system trigger. Fast or unintentional movements of the system can cause injury or death, property damage, and you cause. Ensure that off when working on the control axle system and is switched on again.
WARNING It is the responsibility of the system manufacturer that persons perform their work properly when adjusting the LE linear mod- ule in an open system so that an uncontrolled start-up of the axis is prevented. 3.1.8 Set conversion WARNING The LE linear modules are moved by the electric control.
3.1.9 Normal operation WARNING The LE linear modules are moved by the electric control. If the LE linear module cannot move freely there is danger of injuries and bruises near the add-ons. If add-ons at the LE linear module could cause danger in con- nection with the moving slide a safe operation must be ensured.
4.0.0 Maintenance Instructions 4.1.0 Maintenance DANGER The strong magnetic fields of the LE may interfere with and im- pair the function of electronic devices, such as pacemakers, even when the module is switched off. Persons with a pacemaker must keep a safety distance of at least 50 cm.
4.1.1 Regular maintenance DANGER The strong magnetic fields of the LE may interfere with and im- pair the function of electronic devices, such as pacemakers, even when the module is switched off. Strong magnetic fields Persons with a pacemaker must keep a safety distance of at least 50 cm.
WARNING Lubricants with additives such as MoS , graphite or PTFE may not be used to service the linear guide.
