15.4 Set-up shim method
When using this method, remove the alignment
brackets (see
section 15.3
on page 31) just
prior to installation.
Where access to the readhead from either side
is restricted in the installation position, a set-up
shim can be used instead of the alignment
brackets to ensure correct positioning of the
readhead relative to the extrusion. The shim
is easily inserted between the readhead and
encoder extrusion.
15.4.1 Front setting shim procedure
1
Place the set-up shim between the readhead and the extrusion.
Push the readhead lightly against the shim to set the rideheight and
align the readhead mounting holes.
2
Whilst maintaining light pressure on the readhead, secure the
readhead with 2 × M4 screws. Tighten screws to 2.5 Nm to complete
the installation.
NOTE: Secure fastenings with Loctite 243.
Remove the setting shim.
