Air gap

A track section cannot be moved without an air gap between the motor modules of a fixed and a moving section.

An air gap [1] on both sides between moving track sections [2] and fixed track sections [3] is required. The nominal air gap is 1 mm and must not be larger than 3.0 mm.

The encoder system is extended so that a continuous position of the mover is defined in the air gap between the modules.
