Straight guide rails

When mounting the straight guide rails, ensure that the guide rails are correctly aligned and that the lock is in the correct position:

Straight guide rails 1:

Alignment of the upper guide rails

The guide rail [1] may only protrude on one side of the module. The side of the module with the name plate [2] is used for orientation.

Straight guide rails 2:

Alignment of the lower guide rails

The guide rail [1] may only protrude on one side of the module. The side of the module with the name plate [2] is used for orientation.

Guide rail with lubrication channel

If you have integrated automatic lubrication into your system, you must ensure that you use the correct guide rail during installation.

Straight guide rails 3:

The short guide rail AT9000-0250-0006 [2] must be mounted on a motor module with lubrication channel AT2000-0250-0006 [1], as only this has lubrication channels and recesses [3] for the threaded sockets [4] of the module.

Neither the short guide rail AT9x00-0250 [5] nor long guide rails AT9x00-xxxx [6] may be fitted, as they do not have any lubrication channels or recesses [7] for the threaded sockets [4] of the module.

Position of the lock

The guide rail [1] with pre-mounted lock [2] must always be mounted at the top of the system. The lock must be removed to install the mover and can be replaced by the optional rail on support [+]. Further information can be found in chapter Mover.

►Insert guide rail [1] with lock [2] straight onto the locating pins [3] of the upper modules

Subsequent movement

Beckhoff recommends initially fixing all guide rails hand tight with a screw in the center. This allows you to compensate unequal distances later on.

Notice

Use liquid threadlocker

Use liquid threadlocker on the screw thread to fix the guide rails to the modules.

If you do not use liquid threadlocker, the guide rails can work loose in case of unusual operating conditions such as vibration and lead to damage to other components of the XTS.

Straight guide rails 7:
►Hand-tighten the screw [1] with liquid threadlocker [2] in the center of the guide rail [3]
Straight guide rails 8:
►Insert locating pins [1] into the guide rail [2]
Straight guide rails 9:
►Insert the guide rail [1] straight onto the locating pins [2] of the lower modules and secure against falling out
►Make sure that the guide rail is correctly aligned
Straight guide rails 10:
►Hand-tighten the screw [1] with liquid threadlocker [2] in the center of the guide rail [3]
Straight guide rails 11:
►Insert locating pins [1] into the guide rail [2]
