6 Installation instructions

When using a two-track parallel linear guide we recommend the use of a misalignment compensation system: the combination of a V+P/U sliders to compensate for deviations in parallelism or A+P/U sliders to compen sate for deviations in parallelism in two planes. Installation of the self-aligning systems Installation steps (1) For a compensating system, the rail with the guiding slider RV is al ways installed first. This is then used as a reference for the compensating bearing rail. Then proceed as described in the section on installation of a single rail (see pg. CR-37). (2) Install the other bearing rail and only tighten the fixing screws slightly. (3) Insert the sliders in the rails and install the element to be moved, wit hout tightening its screws. (4) Insert the element in the center of the rails and tighten it, use screws class 10.9.

(5) Tighten the center rail fixing screws to the specified torque (see pg.CR-38, tab. 31).

(6) Move the element to one end of the rail and start tightening the rest of the screws in the direction away from the slider.
