5.9
Replacing magnetic strips on cylinder barrel module (only with feature P9)
Magnetic strips of cantilever axes with a short stroke cannot be replaced.
5.9.1
Removing old magnetic strips
1. Carry out preparatory work (
2. Remove cover strip from the end cap (
3. Push the slide module up to the stop at one end cap.
4. Carefully remove the magnetic strips (2x) up to the slide module, do not use
sharp-edged tools.
5. Use a suitable tool to cut off loose parts of the magnetic strips (2x).
Typical solvents for cleaning surfaces are a 50 / 50 isopropyl-alcohol / water
mixture or heptane.
6. Carefully remove residues of the adhesive tapes (2x) from the cylinder bar-
rel module; do not use sharp-edged tools.
7. Push the slide module up to the stop at the other end cap.
8. Remove remaining pieces of the magnetic strips (2x), do not use sharp-
edged tools.
Typical solvents for cleaning surfaces are a 50 / 50 isopropyl-alcohol / water
mixture or heptane.
9. Carefully remove residues of the adhesive tapes (2x) from the cylinder bar-
rel module; do not use sharp-edged tools.
5.9.2
Sticking on new magnetic strips
Note
–
The substrate must be clean, dry and free from dust, grease, oil as well as other contaminants.
–
The best adhesive bonding temperature lies between + 21 °C and + 38 °C. Bonding is inadvisable if the surfaces to
be bonded are colder than + 10 °C, as in this case the adhesive becomes too solid and thus may make adequate
immediate adhesion hardly achievable. After proper bonding, the bond strength remains even at minus tempera-
tures. From experience, the ultimate adhesion is reached after around 72 hours (at + 21 °C).
1. Stick one adhesive tape (2x) each onto the wide side of the magnetic strips
(2x), do not pull off the protective film of the adhesive tapes (2x).
