End clamps
The end clamp kit is designed to be used with Renishaw RKLC20‑S scale. Alternative, narrow 6 mm wide end clamps (A‑9523‑4111), are also available.
NOTE: End clamps can be mounted before or after readhead installation.

Thoroughly mix up a sachet of RGG-2 two part epoxy adheisve and apply a small amount to the
underside of the end clamp.

To ensure scale end movement of typically < 1 μm, stabilise the system at least 5 °C higher than the maximum customer application temperature for a minimum of 8 hours.
For example: Customer application = 23 °C axis temperature. Stabilise the system at 28 °C for a minimum of 8 hours.

The end clamp features two small regions of contact adhesive. These will temporarily hold the end
clamp in position while the adhesive cures. Remove the backing tape from either side.
4.
Immediately position end clamp over the end of the scale and push down to ensure complete
adhesion. Allow 24 hours at 20 °C for full cure. *
CAUTION: Ensure that excess adhesive is wiped away from scale as it may affect the readhead
signal level.
