9. Move the carriage by hand through the complete range of travel and make
sure the strip seal seats smoothly against the cover and side panel magnet
strips.
Pulling against the tightened end clamp helps to smooth the seal.
10. Once the seal lays flat and smooth against the top cover and side panel,
tighten the second end clamp.
11. With the outside edge of the end clamps as a guide, use tin snips to cut and
remove excess strip seal material.
12. Position the carriage at the far ends of travel.
13. Adjust the seal guide by inserting a 0.8 mm (0.03 in.) shim between the
seal guide and the strip seal.
14. Return the linear stage to service.
Side Cover Installation Follow these directions to install a side cover.
1. Insert a side cover into the base of the linear stage by holding it with the
top slightly tilted outward and hooking the bottom of the side cover in the
channel near the bottom of the base.
2. Starting at the end cap adjacent to the ground screw, install one M4 SHCS
and torque it to 4 N•m (35 lb•in).
3. On the opposite end, install one M3 SHCS and torque it to 2.5 N•m
(20 lb•in).
