Third-party movers

Third-party movers 1:

Only mount third-party movers on parallel guide rail system

Third-party movers may only be mounted on a parallel guide rail system. If the NCT electronics AT8200-2000 is mounted on a mover from a third-party manufacturer, the air gap between the mounted NCT electronics and motor module must be set as small as possible in order to utilize the maximum available energy. The NCT electronics must have an air gap to the modules at every point and must not touch the modules.

Example of a parallel guide rail system

This chapter provides information on setting the air gap between the NCT electronics and the motor modules. The illustration is based on the example of a parallel guide rail system from a third-party manufacturer with motor modules and NCT electronics from Beckhoff Automation. Third-party components are shaded gray in the figures.

Third-party movers 3:

The NCT electronics are mounted on the third-party mover with a screw. The air gap between the mounted NCT electronics [1] and the motor module [2] must be set to the smallest possible value that is possible for your system depending on the tolerance. The air gap must be at least 0.85 mm and must not exceed 1.3 mm.

Notice

Do not combine 180° curved segments with option for additional cooling and modules with NCT functionality

Modules with NCT functionality and movers with NCT electronics must not be used together with 180° curved segments with the option for additional cooling.

If you use movers with NCT electronics and 180° curved segments with option for additional cooling, the modules, movers and NCT electronics will be damaged.

  • Do not mount 180° curved segments with option for additional cooling and modules with NCT functionality together in one system.

Further information can be found in chapter Curved segments.
