Installation method of linear guide rail

1. Before installing the linear guide rail, it is necessary to remove the burrs, dirt, and surface scratches on the mechanical installation surface. Linear sliding rails are coated with anti rust oil before formal installation. Please clean the reference surface with cleaning oil before installation. Usually, after removing the anti rust oil, the reference surface is more prone to rusting, so it is recommended to apply lubricating oil with lower viscosity to the spindle.
2. Gently place the main rail on the bed and use lateral fixing screws or other fixing fixtures to lightly fit the wire rail with the lateral installation surface. Before installation and use, it is necessary to confirm whether the screw holes match. If the base machining holes do not match and the bolts are forcibly locked, it will greatly affect the combination accuracy and quality of use.
3. Tighten the positioning screws of the slide rail slightly from the far end to the near end in order, so that the track is slightly in contact with the vertical installation surface. After slightly tightening the vertical reference plane, strengthen the locking force of the lateral reference plane to ensure that the main rail can truly adhere to the lateral reference plane.
4. Use a torque wrench to slowly tighten the positioning screws of the slide rail according to the locking torque of various materials. When installing the slide rail, please select the locking torque according to the platform material and the type of fixing screw. Please use a torque wrench to slowly tighten the slide rail bolts.
5. Install the secondary rail using the same installation method. Note that after installing the linear slide rail on the slide seat, many accessories cannot be installed due to limited installation space. Therefore, all necessary accessories must be installed together at this stage. (The attachments may include oil nozzles, oil pipe joints, or dust prevention systems, etc.).
6. Gently place the mobile platform onto the sliding seats of the main and auxiliary rails.
7. First, tighten the lateral locking screws on the mobile platform. After installation and positioning, proceed in the following order.
 
Installation of slide rail without lateral positioning assembly surface
1. Firstly, place the guide rail on a flat surface, then gently fix the two endpoints of the guide rail with bolts and place a ruler next to it. Place the ruler parallel to the guide rail, move the dial gauge along the ruler to measure the distance between A1 and A2, and fine tune the guide rail according to the ruler until the dial gauge counts as expected.
2. Tighten the screws from the distal end to the proximal end in sequence, and refer to the torque table values in the previous example for the tightening torque of the screws. After tightening all the bolts, use a dial gauge to slide from one end of the guide rail to the other to ensure parallelism. When there is no lateral positioning assembly surface, if the screw is installed from the middle of the guide rail, it is easy to cause slight deformation of the guide rail due to the friction between the installation bolt and the installation hole. It is recommended to tighten the screw from the far end to the near end in sequence.
3. The guide rail that was completely fixed just now can now be used as the reference rail. Temporarily tighten a screw on each end of the driven guide rail. Then place a dial gauge on the two sliders of the reference rail, move the dial gauge while reading, and lock the bolts of the adjustment rail from one end to the other in sequence.
4. Install the mobile platform onto the slider of the guide rail in the order shown in the diagram, push the platform to see if it is smooth and if there is any jamming. If necessary, adjust the screws of the guide rail slider until it slides smoothly.
