5.1.1

Mounting the axis

Requirements
• Position the product in such a way that its control sections are accessible (e.g. relubrication open­
ings).
• Make sure that the mounting components are outside the travel range of the slide.
• Install product without tension or distortion.
• Attach the product to a mounting surface with an evenness of
0.05 % of the stoke length.
• Take the required support clearances into consideration
(è 12 Characteristic curves).
If the ELFA guide axis is used in conjunction with am ELGA drive
axis:
• Use mounting surfaces with identical evenness for both axes.
Use the same support clearances on the drive axis as on the guide axis.
In this way you will prevent tension due to uneven flexing.
• Perform cushioning preferably on the axis with the larger payload and coordinate it on both axes.
In the case of gantry structures, attention must also be paid to parallel alignment or product height in
the alignment of the axes. For additional information, contact your local Festo Service.
• Attach the ELFA (èTab. 1).
