5. Store product in a cool, dry, shaded and corrosion protected environment.
6. Store product in ambient conditions without oils, greases and degreasing
vapours.
7. Ensure short storage times.

Mounting
7.1
Safety
CAUTION!
For vertical or slanted mounting position: when power is off, moving parts can
travel or fall uncontrolled into the lower end position.
Injury due to impacts or crushing.
•
Bring moving parts of the product into a safe end position or secure them
against falling.
7.2
Unpack product
1. Open the packaging.
2. Remove all transport materials (e.g . foils, caps, cardboard boxes).
3. Remove the axis from the packaging and place it on the mounting surface.
Comply with maximum permitted support clearances when attaching trans
portation aids
è
4. Dispose of packaging and transport materials
è
7.3
Mounting the motor
Fig. 4 Motor mounting
Only loosen screws or threaded pins that are described in the directions in the
instruction manual.
1. Select the motor and motor mounting kit from
Festo
è
When using other motors: observe the critical limits for forces, torques and
velocities.
2. Fasten motor mounting kit, observe instructions
è
3. Fasten the motor without tension. Support large and heavy motors.
Connect motor cables only on completion of mounting.
7.4
Mounting axis
High mechanical loads on the mounting connections
If the mounting position of the motor and the mounting component simultan
eously cause high rectified torques around the longitudinal axis, this leads to high
mechanical loads at the mounting interfaces.
•
The foot mounting HPE should only be used in combination with the profile
mounting MUE or the slot nuts NST.
Requirement
–
No collision in the movement space of the attachment component with motor,
mounting and sensor components.
–
Sufficient space to reach maintenance interfaces.
–
Flatness of the mounting surface of 0.05% of the stroke length or max.
0.5 mm over the stroke length of the bearing surface.
–
Required support points lie within the specified support
distances
è
–
No distortion or bending when installing the product.
1. Select mounting attachments
è
2. Place the mounting attachments on the support points.
3. Tighten retaining screws.
Observe max. tightening torque and max. screwin depth.
For area and 3dimensional gantries, pay attention to parallelism, product height
and alignment of the axes.
For additional information, contact your local Festo Service.

Tab. 3 Requirement for attachment component
Requirement
–
No collision in the movement space of the attachment component with motor,
mounting and sensor components.
–
Flatness of the mounting surface of the mounting component of 0.01 mm
above the slide surface.
–
Position of the centre of gravity and tilting moment (force F parallel to the axis
of motion) of the attachment component centrally on the slide and close to
the slide surface (short lever arm a).
–
The maximum screwin depth of the retaining screws is not exceeded.
1. Select accessories
è
2. Place centring components in centring holes.
3. Position the attachment component on the slide.
4. Tighten retaining screws.
Observe max. tightening torque and max. screwin depth.
When using an additional external guide, ensure exact parallelism and alignment
of the axes and guide.
Recommendation: use guide fixings with tolerance compensation.
