2 Method of operation and use
The intermediate position module belongs to
the intermediate position set of pneumatic
slide unit type SLG−... . This also consists of:
 cushioning support type SLG−D−...,
 fastening rail type SLG−S−... and
 intermediate position module type
SLG−Z−... .
The stop lever 2 of the intermediate position
module swivels in and out when the pneu
matic connections are
pressurized. When it
swivels out, the slide of a linear drive (e.g.
slide unit SLG−...) knocks against the stop on
the stop lever and is therefore in an intermedi
ate position.
A magnet is fastened to the internal double
piston of the intermediate position module.
The position of the piston and thereby the
position
of the stop lever (swivelled in or out)
can be scanned by means of proximity
switches in the groove 3 of the intermediate
position module.
The intermediate position module has been
designed for cushioning mass forces in a posi
tion between the end positions of linear
drives (e.g. in conjunction with the intermedi
ate
position sets with a slide unit type
SLG−...). Within the permitted loading limits,
the intermediate position module also func
tions as a stop.
