  • Page 5: Function

    A cover strip covers the slot in the profile. Note The DMES is self-braking: When the input torque is not applied, the slide will be braked. The slide, however, can move slowly if – the DMES is mounted vertically, –...
  • Page 6: Transport And Storage

    DMES Transport and storage • Consider the weight of the product. The DMES weighs up to 85 kg depending on the design. • The following should be observed with regard to storage: – Short storage times – Cool, dry, shaded and corrosion-resistant locations.

  • Page 10 DMES For payloads with their own guide: • Adjust the guides of the payload and DMES so that they are exactly parallel. You will then avoid overloading the guide (wear). For hard and stiff payloads (steel): Note If the aluminium slide is bent against a curved payload, the service life of the guide will be re­...

    If proximity sensors are used as limit switches: • Use proximity sensors with normally-closed function. These protect a DMES with a fractured proximity sensor cable from overrunning the end position. If proximity sensors are used as reference switches: • Use proximity sensors that correspond to the input of the controller being used.

    – there are no foreign objects in the path of the moving components. It should not be possible to touch the DMES until the load has come to a complete standstill. Note Incorrect specification values for the braking ramp in STOP statuses (e.g. EMERGENCY OFF, Quick Stop) result in an overloading of the linear axis and can destroy it or drastic­...
  • Page 13 In spite of equal control, even motors of the same type sometimes turn in the opposite direction due to the circuitry. The spindle of the DMES turns in a clockwise direction. When the drive trunnion is turned clockwise, the slide moves in the direction of the motor.

    Warning Injury to people and material damage! In the event of a spindle nut fracture (e.g. due to wear) inside the DMES, the work load will slide down. • Check whether additional external safety measures to protect against spindle nut fracture are necessary (e.g.

    1.5 mm If the maximum permitted axial play is exceeded: Warning If a worn spindle nut breaks on a vertical or sloping DMES, the work load will fall. Uncontrolled payloads can cause personal injury and material damage (risk of crushing).
