Grounding of the machine beds
The ground connection must be made with the largest possible cross-section, with a low impedance, over a large area and via a short connection to large conductive fastenings. Beckhoff recommends the use of wide connections with large contact surfaces, for example wide ground straps.
Suitable connectors
Suitable for grounding machine beds:
- Copper rails [1]
- Ground straps with cable lugs [2]
- Cable with cable lugs [3]

Risk of injury through electric shock There must be an optimally conductive connection for the protective conductor at the connection point. The machine bed must be grounded in accordance with the statutory regulations. Carefully remove paint, dirt, corrosion and all insulating components. Use galvanized stud bolts and washers. |
