distributed by Product description A mechanical linear unit converts rotational motion into linear motion and is used to move loads quickly, safely and precisely from one position to another. It consists of an aluminium base profile, a moving carriage supported by a guide element (recirculating ball bearing or roller bearing guidance system) and a drive element (screw or timing belt drive).
distributed by Transportation and storage Transportation and storage The mechanical linear unit is a precision item. Its mechanism may be damaged by heavy jolting, resulting in impairment of its functions. Risk of damage by heavy jolting or bending! Transport the assembled linear unit only with the transit protection fitted.
distributed by Installation and adjustment Installation and adjustment The linear unit can be attached by the following methods: • On mounting rails • By screws inserted into the sliding blocks • By screws inserted into the factory-fitted tapped hole rails ...
distributed by Installation and adjustment Screwing the linear unit into place from below Figure 3: Sliding blocks (1) in the groove on the underside of the base profile Attach the linear unit by the fixing screws from below using the sliding blocks or the tapped hole rails in the aluminium base profile (Figure 3).
distributed by Installation and adjustment Setting maximum travel Serious injury may result if the transport carriers topple over. If the carriage moves to its full extent beyond the safety zone, the transport carrier mounted on it may break away or topple over. The linear unit may be destroyed During setup, observe the specified safety zone and set the limit switches accordingly.
Page 18
distributed by Installation and adjustment The limit switches must switch so that the carriage comes to a stop immediately before the safety zone. The safety zone is factory-marked on the unit by a band (3). Procedure Connect the power to the limit switches. Slacken the limit switch fixing screws.
distributed by Installation and adjustment 6.3.2 Setting the positions of the mechanical limit switches Mechanical safety limit switches (NC contacts) must be used if a hazard is posed to personnel as soon as the electric drive fails to shut down. The drive may only be started up when all limit switches are connected and correctly set! A combination with inductive proximity switches is possible.
Page 20
distributed by Installation and adjustment Procedure Connect the power to the limit switches. Slacken the bracket fixing screw (Figure 5). Run the carriage as far as the safety zone. Move the limit switch until it trips. Tighten the bracket fixing screw. Check the correct position of the limit switch: Move the carriage manually and observe the switching operation.
distributed by Installation and adjustment Mounting a drive unit Make sure the direction of rotation of the external drive unit takes into account the direction of the spindle or timing belt so that the limit switches work correctly.

distributed by Installation and adjustment Procedure Place the motor and the clutch components in mounting position adjacent to the linear unit. Check the direction of rotation of the motor. It must take into account the safety limit switches (Figure 6). Alter the direction of the motor as necessary.
distributed by Start-up Start-up Risk of personal injury or damage to other system components caused by rapid linear motion of the transport carrier, caused by thrown loads. Only authorised specialist personnel may start up the linear unit. Risk of crushing due to incorrect direction of movement of the transport devices.
distributed by Operation Operation The drive motor can heat up considerably during operation. In this case, refer to the operating instructions supplied for the drive motor. In addition, hazards can occur due to noise, tilting and falling, failure to observe ergonomic principles, and the surroundings in which the unit is used.
distributed by Shutdown Shutdown Risk of personal injury or damage to other system components caused by falling system components. Only authorised specialist personnel may disassemble the linear unit. Cut the power to the machine/line. Dismantle the drive from the linear unit. Detach the linear unit from the machine/line.
distributed by Maintenance 10 Maintenance Around all rotating parts, e.g. GX shaft and around the toothed belt (when used without cover band), there is a risk of being pulled in, and of clothing or body parts being caught up and trapped. There is also a risk of crushing around the moving carriage.
