2.3.3 Attachment of the Transported Object

• There are tapped holes on the top face of the slider. Affix the transported object here.

• There are two reamed holes on the top face of the slider. When repeatability in re-attaching is

required after it is detached, utilize these reamed holes. Also, use only one reamed hole on the slider

when fine-tuning such as perpendicularity is required.

Caution: Avoid applying moment loads in the Mb or Mc directions during an operation, and

make sure the load is distributed evenly on the slider.

There is a bushing made of a special plastic on the guide.

Applying a moment load may cause not only a twist or vibration on the slider, but

also shorten the life of the guide or drop in the speed due to the increase of sliding

resistance.

Tightening screws

• Use hexagonal socket head bolts for the male threads for installing the base.

• Use of high–tension bolts meeting at least ISO 10.9 is recommended.

• For the effective engagement length between the bolt and female thread, provide at least the

applicable value specified below:

Female thread is made of steel material ĺ Same length as the nominal diameter

Female thread is made of aluminum ĺ 2 times of nominal diameter

Caution: Pay attention when selecting the screw length. Use of a screw with inappropriate

length may destroy a tapped hole or cause a lack in the attachment strength of the

transported object, which may result in a cause of an unexpected accident.
