FAQs
To ensure proper installation, verify bore alignment with the RM/8000M actuator, secure mounting with the correct fasteners, and confirm the guide block sits square to the guide rail. Apply a light, consistent lubricant to moving surfaces and torque hardware to manufacturer recommendations to minimize play and maximize repeatability in automation lines.
Expect high-precision guidance with minimized side-load induced play, enabling repeatable positioning across multiple cycles. The 100 mm stroke accommodates typical short-travel automation tasks while maintaining compact cell footprints. This combination supports reliable throughput in pick-and-place and transfer applications with reduced wear over time.
Suitability depends on environmental conditions and enclosure measures. While the guide block provides robust mechanical guidance, ambient dust, moisture, and temperature can affect performance. For harsh environments, consider additional sealing, enclosure protection, or enclosure-grade components, and verify any required IP rating or corrosion resistance for your specific application.
The design promotes easy mounting and straightforward alignment, reducing setup time and downtime during line changes. With longer wear life and fewer misalignments, maintenance intervals extend, spare parts usage decreases, and overall ROI improves as production uptime increases and service intervals become predictable.
Ensure mounting surfaces are clean and flat, align the block with the RM/8000M axis before tightening, and use proper fasteners with correct torque. Maintain a consistent lubrication schedule on moving components, protect the assembly from contamination, and verify travel limits do not exceed the stroke to prevent mechanical binding during operation.
