Store Packaging Material

Keep the carton and packing materials in case the linear stage needs to be
returned for warranty service or stored for an extended period of time.

1. Tape screws and clamp hardware to the plywood board brace.
2. Put the end caps in their original positions on the center cover and place all

packing material inside the carton.

3. Lightly tape carton closed and store in a dry place.

Linear Stage Storage

The linear stage storage area must be clean, dry, vibration free, and have a
relatively constant temperature. Refer to Environmental Specifications for MP-
Series Linear Stages in the Kinetix Linear Motion Specifications Technical Data

GMC-TD002

for more detailed information.

Mounting the Linear Stage

This section discusses mounting methods and procedures for both linear stage
types.

Before You Begin the Mechanical Installation

The machine designer is the best person to determine the number and type of
fasteners to use when mounting your linear stage The following information is
supplied to assist in your decision-making.

Determine the Number of Fasteners Required

The length of the linear stage determines the number of mounting fasteners that
are required.

Use one of the following equations to calculate the required mounting hardware.
