In the case of Monorail MR 100, a metal transport rail is used.
This must be replaced prior to installation using an assembly rail, in accordance with
the following procedure:
• The transport rail must be pushed out of the carriage using the assembly rail.
• Removal of the transport rail without replacement with an assembly rail may result
in the loss of rolling elements.
When fastening a connecting structure to a carriage, tighten the screws in accordance
with the following steps:
• Tighten the screws with 50 % of the nominal torque. See numbering for sequence.
• Tighten the screws with 100 % of the nominal torque. See numbering for sequence.
Ensure prior to installation that the guide rails, machine bed, mounting plate, and
fastening screws are all at the same temperature.
Always brace the locating surface of the guide rails against the locating surface
of the machine bed. The locating surface of the guide rails is the surface on the op-
posite side of the Schneeberger logo and part numbering.
For optimal screwing force, proceed as follows:
1. Lubricate the screw head rests and threads of the fastening screws with grease
containing MoS2.
2. Tighten the fastening screws in accordance with the figure on the left.
3. Always tighten fastening screws using a torque wrench (for tightening torques,
see „12.2 Screw tightening torques" on page 73).
