7.2.4 Installing the optional accessories
Mechanical or inductive limit switches
The technical specifications for limit switches can be found in the catalogue. Ensure that the
wiring is safely laid out during installation. Avoid damage to the wiring, for example by having
radii that are too small, as this can lead to failure of the system. The wiring must not be in the path
travelled by the linear unit.
Mechanical limit switch
The limit switch is installed at its position on the side of the
guidance section of the linear shaft with a support plate. The
groove running in the side of the guidance section is used to
secure the switch at the desired switching point position.
The fixing kit is enclosed with the part.
Inductive limit switch
An inductive proximity switch is used in the groove on the
top of the guidance section. The switching pulse is triggered
by a tapped pin screwed into the guide slide. To install it,
move the switch in the groove until the switching point is
reached. Use a tapped pin to secure the proximity switch in
the groove. Place the limit switch lead in the groove and fix
it with cover sections. The lead will be led to the steering.
Maximum two limit switch connecting cables can be lead
out on each joint and side for mounting the limit switch.
Cables and lines going out of the linear unit must be secured outside the application
using strain relief in compliance with standards.
