Overall mounting height

You can increase the overall mounting height and the associated air gap in case of tolerance deviations. Tolerance deviations can result from:

Be aware of performance losses with increased air gap

Increasing the overall mounting height or the air gap may have performance implications. These follow a non-linear function. Please refer to the diagram in Chapter: Dependencies.

Avoid reducing the air gap

Reducing the air gap increases the forces of magnetic attraction between the coil part and the magnetic track. This requires larger guides and a stiffer design of the machine or system.
