Removing/Mounting Jig
When assembling the guide, whenever possible, do not remove the LM block from the LM rail. If
LM block removal is inevitable because of the plate cover specifications or the assembly
procedure, be sure to use the removing/mounting jig.
Mounting the LM block without using the removing/mounting jig may cause rolling elements to
fall from the LM block due to contamination by foreign material, damage to internal components,
or slight inclination. Mounting the LM block with some of the rolling elements missing may cause
early damage.
When using the removing/mounting jig, do not incline the jig and be sure to match the ends of
both LM rails.
The removing/mounting jig may not support certain model numbers. If so, address this by using
an extra LM rail. Contact THK for details.
If any of the rolling elements falls from the LM block, discontinue use and contact THK.
Note that the removing/mounting jig is not included in the LM Guide package as standard. When
desiring to use it, contact THK.
