Guide rails, 180° curved segment
The curved segments must be prepared for mounting on the modules. Further information can be found in chapter Guide rails, 180° curved segment.
 | Simplified mounting Beckhoff recommends applying a small amount of lubricant to the connecting surfaces and the inner running surfaces of the 180° curved segments before mounting. Greasing the curved segments facilitates mounting on the straight guide rails. |
Beckhoff recommends the following lubricants:
- Petrolatum when using movers without spring-loaded rollers
- Food grade grease NSF-H1 when using movers with spring-loaded rollers
