2. Slide end pieces into the gap between cover strip and guide rail groove at each
end of the guide rail until they stop.
3. Lightly moisten the full guideway surface with the MONORAIL guideway lubricant.
NOTE: In the case of cover strips with a length < 600 mm, secure the strip ends with
a steel bracket instead of the end pieces (see next section "Steel securing bands").
Steel securing bands
In cases of increased mechanical stress, e.g. in an open swarf area, the strip ends
can be secured with a steel bracket in place of the red plastic end pieces. In this
case, the protruding strip ends must be severed straight and burr-free and a threaded
fixing hole introduced into the frontal end of the guide rail. Retrofitting of steel securing
bands is only recommended if the guide rails have been inductively hardened. For
dimensions of the securing bands and the threaded fixing hole, see „12 Appendix"
on page 70.
Steel securing bands are not part of the standard cover strip delivery package
and must be ordered separately.
Disassembly
1. Removing the end pieces:
a) Hook an Allen wrench into the underside of the end piece.
b) Pull the end piece out of the groove, pulling parallel to the guide rail.
