Installation
Bosch Rexroth AG R911389762_Edition 04
A stainless-steel cover plate can be installed at the ML3S for protection
against dirt.
If cover plates are used, it must be ensured that the required air
gap between the motor components is maintained. To achieve
this, the installation height must be increased by the thickness of
the cover plate. Please also observe the information provided in
Tab.
6-2.
Tools required for installation:
●
Protective gloves for handling the cover strip
CAUTION
Wear protective gloves when handling the cover plate.
●
Cutter for cutting of the strip
●
Measuring device for testing of the shielding
A cover plate can be installed after removal of the transport and assembly
protection at the ML3S. Make sure that the entire length is clear. Due to the
high magnetic attraction, the cover strip is firmly attached to the magnetic
plates. To position the strip, unroll it. Respectively, roll it up to remove it.
Unrolling and rolling up of the strip should be performed by two
persons.
1. If not already done, remove the transport and assembly protection from
the ML3S.
2. Position the slide at one end of the axis to uncover the majority of the
magnetic strip.
3. Unroll the strip over the free part of the magnetic strip.
