Chapter 8 Removing and Replacing Components
Cover Installation Follow these directions to install a cover.
1. Start at the end cap nearest the magnetic cautionary label or the MP
motor, and install two M4 x 25 SHCS.
2. Torque the M4 x 25 SCHS to 4 N•m (35 lb•in).
3. Make sure the cover contacts the end cap.
4. On the opposite end install two M4 x 30 SHCS and bottom out the screw.
The cover does not contact the end cap on this side and floats on the screw.
Strip Seal Replacement Follow these directions to replace the strip seals.
1. Remove power from the linear stage, and lock out and tag the power
source.
2. Follow the instructions below on how to measure, mark, and cut new strip
seals.
3. Position the carriage at the midpoint of stage travel.
4. Expose the center metal section of the carriage’s seal strip guide by
loosening the screws securing the end clamps and those at the carriage seal
guide.
5. Thread the new strip seal, point end first, through the seal guides, the
carriage, and then the end clamps.
6. Center and smooth the strip seal against the top cover and the side panel
magnetic strips.
7. By using very light pressure, hold the seal guide against the strip seal, and
then tighten the seal guide.
8. Tighten one end clamp, but do not tighten the clamp on the other end.
ATTENTION: Handle strip seal material with care. The strip seal has sharp edges
that can cause personal injury if mishandled.
1) Mark needed strip length.
2) Mark strip width centerline.
3) Make two 45º marks to centerline.
4) Use tin snips to cut along 45º marks.
