LES 4, 5, 6 - 234xxx xxxx Assembly and commissioning Assembly Mounting on the guide profile Free positioning Fig. 15 - linear unit LES 4, 5, 6 for installation as free standing You can place the linear unit on a frame, a work table or any other suitable stable base. Select the installation location so that the product cannot fall down by itself or by an impact or pulling on the cable.
LES 4, 5, 6 - 234xxx xxxx Ensure that the mounting surfaces are sufficiently clean. The used aluminium profiles are extruded profiles which, due to the manufacturing process, showed deviations in terms of straightness and torsion. The tolerance of this deviation is defined in DIN EN 12020-2. linear unit are face milled and therefore these deviations are usually undercut.
LES 4, 5, 6 - 234xxx xxxx Mounting on the guide carriages Carriage mounting Fig. 18 - linear unit LES 4, 5, 6 for mounting the carriage The guide carriages have tapped holes - M6 - for fastening transport loads to the guide carriages. Fitting holes 6h7 enable precise positioning and reproducibility of the mounting position.
LES 4, 5, 6 - 234xxx xxxx Slide plate mounting Fig. 20 - linear unit LES 4, 5, 6 for slide plate mounting - frame Laterally protruding carriage plates enable the guide carriages to be fixed to the frame and thus enable linear movement of the linear guide rail relative to the frame.
LES 4, 5, 6 - 234xxx xxxx Belt drive modules Fig. 22 - Mounting belt drive module The picture above shows the assembly of a belt drive module. The pulleys must have the same pitch as the toothed belt. Both shaft ends and the pulleys should be free of burrs, rust and dirt. As shaft-hub connection, we recommend forceful connections using clamping bushes.

Directive 93/112/EEC and ISO 11014-1 can be requested from the manufacturer. Relubrication For relubrication of linear bearings with shafts, only the special grease of isel Germany AG should be used. Oil lubrication is possible and reduces heating at higher spindle speeds, but the mounting position must be observed and the lubrication intervals are shortened every 40 to 60 operating hours.
Cleaning the linear unit 300 - 700 Operating hours Relubrication guide carriage and ball screw nut with special grease from isel Germany AG monthly - Visual inspection of linear guide rail - wear - Visual inspection of the toothed belt (tension, abrasion...)
LES 4, 5, 6 - 234xxx xxxx Troubleshooting The table below includes some general solutions to potential problems occurring when using the machine; they can be rectified independently by the operator if necessary. Information If the problem can not be solved, please get in touch with the maintenance personnel or contact our service/support department.
LES 4, 5, 6 - 234xxx xxxx Dismantling and disposal Information Only after all work required for decommissioning and after approval by an authorized specialist, the dismantling operations may be started.
