2.3 Mounting the electric axes
When mounting the electric axes, read and keep in mind the
documentation for the axis used and the additional compo-
nents.
Warning
If an axis is mounted in a sloping or vertical position, fal-
ling work loads could cause injuries.
• Use the motor unit preferably with self-locking or self-
braking spindle drives. This prevents the work load
sliding down suddenly if there is a power failure.
• With DMES-...: check whether additional external safety
measures against spindle nut fracture are necessary
(e. g. toothed latches or moving bolts).
Make sure that:
• The drive is mounted securely and is correctly aligned.
• The working space in which the axis moves is of sufficient
size for operation with a work load.
• The work load does not collide with any component of the
drive when the slide moves into the end position.
• Make sure that you observe the maximum safe values for
the following variables. The point of reference for forces
and torques is the centre of the shaft (L3 see Tab. 2/1).
