5 Product overview
5.1 Function
A rotating ball screw drive converts the rotation of a motor into straight-line motion. As a result, the
slide 5 moves backwards and forwards. The slide is ball-bearing guided. The reference position of the
slide can be determined using proximity sensors (è 7.4 Mounting accessories) or by referencing a
fixed stop (retracted end position).

NOTICE!
Unexpected movement of components. The mini slide is unbraked. Without input torque, the slide is
freely movable.
• Secure slide during transport.
• Take product weight into account è 13 Technical data.

7 Assembly
7.1 Preparation
– Do not modify the screws and threaded pins.
Exception: if immediate modification is required based on these operating instructions.
– Select the motor and motor mounting kit from the Festo catalogue èwww.festo.com/catalogue
When using other motors: observe the critical limits for forces, torques and speeds
è 13 Technical data.
– When mounting the motor: follow the assembly instructions for the motor mounting kit.
– Connect motor cables only after the mini slide is mounted.
Fig. 4
NOTICE!
The reference position is lost when the motor is dismounted (e.g., when turning the motor around).
• Start homing è 8 Commissioning.
CAUTION!
With vertical or diagonal mounting position:
When power is off, the slide can travel or fall uncontrolled into the lower end position. Injury due to
impacts or crushing.
• Bring moving parts of the product into a safe end position or secure them against falling.
– Place the product in such a way that the operating elements can be reached.
– Install product without tension or distortion.
– Fasten product to a mounting surface with flatness of 0.05% of the stroke length, but max.
0.5mm.
For gantry applications, attention must also be paid to parallel alignment or product height when
aligning the axes.
For additional information, contact your local Festo Service.

1) Accessoriesèwww.festo.com/catalogue
Tab. 1 Mounting alternatives
1. Select mounting components according to the hole pattern èwww.festo.com/catalogue
2. Mount the mounting components outside the positioning range to avoid collisions.
3. Mount the mini slide.

7.3 Attachment
Requirements
NOTICE!
A warped attachment component bends the slide and shortens the service life of the guide.
• Use an attachment component with an even surface. Evenness: t = 0.01 mm è Fig.5
• Mount only to the mounting surface (B) è Fig.7.
Fig. 5
– Set down rated load in such a way that the tilt moment resulting from the force (parallel to the
axis of movement) and lever arm are kept as small as possible.
– Avoid collisions of the mounting part and payload with other mounting parts è Fig.6.

Mounting
– Fasten the attachment to the slide with screws and centring sleeves. Observe the maximum screw-
in depth D and tightening torque è Tab.3.
For attachment components with their own guide:
– Precisely adjust the additional guide and mini slide or use a connection that enables a tolerance
compensation. In this way, the guide is not overloaded.

7.4 Mounting accessories
To protect the end positions against uncontrolled overtravel:
– Check the necessity of proximity sensors (hardware limit switches).
If proximity sensors are used as limit switches:
– Preferably use proximity sensors with normally closed function.
This protects against excess travel beyond the end position, if the proximity sensor cable is
broken.
If proximity sensors are used as reference switches:
– Use proximity sensors that correspond to the input of the controller being used.

Proximity sensor mounting
Use the proximity sensor with sensor bracket [A] in the slot 9 èAssembly instructions of the
accessories.

Prevention of contamination
Connect sealing air. To do so, remove the filter element 4 from the housing and connect the com-
pressed air. Use the recommended fittings from the Festo accessories èwww.festo.com/catalogue.

8 Commissioning
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to unexpected movement of components.
• Protect the positioning range from unwanted intervention.
• Keep foreign objects out of the positioning range.
• Perform commissioning at low speed.
NOTICE!
Incorrect set values for the braking ramp in STOP statuses
(e.g. EMERGENCY OFF, Quick Stop) result in an overloading of the spindle axis and can destroy it or
drastically reduce its service life.
• Check the settings for all braking ramps in the controller or the higher-order control system (decel-
eration values and jerk).
• Adjust delay values (braking delay, delay times) in such a way that the maximum driving torque,
acceleration or maximum feed force is not exceeded. In the process, take the following into con-
sideration:
– Travel speed
– Moving mass
– Mounting position
• When designing the spindle axis, use the Festo engineering software "PositioningDrives"
èwww.festo.com
NOTICE!
Block-shaped acceleration profiles (without jerk limitation) cause high peaks in the drive force that
can lead to an overloading of the drive. Due to overshooting effects, positions outside of the permiss-
ible range may also occur. A jerk-limited acceleration specification reduces vibrations in the entire sys-
tem and has a positive effect on stress in the mechanical system.
• Check the controller settings and adapt if necessary (e.g. jerk limitation, smoothing of the acceler-
ation profile).
NOTICE!
Axes of the same design may demonstrate different running noises depending on the respective com-
ponent. The following factors may also influence this issue:
• Parameterisation
• Operating mode
• Type of mounting
• Installation situation (e.g. rigidity of the foundation, vibration behaviour, resonance frequencies)
Commissioning

Procedure Purpose Note
1. Control travel Determining the approach direction
of the motor
Even with identical control, motors
of the same design can turn in
opposite directions due to different
wiring.
2. Homing Comparison of real situation to the
image of the controller
Homing takes place:
– Towards the reference switch
– Against an end stop. Comply
with maximum impact energy
è Tab. 5.
Observe additional information
èOperating instructions of the drive
system.
3. Test run Checking the overall behaviour Check the following requirements:
– The slide moves through the
intended positioning cycle com-
pletely.
– Slide stops as soon as a limit
switch is reached.
After a successful test run, the slide
is ready for operation.

9 Service
CAUTION!
Unexpected movement of components.
Injury due to impacts or crushing.
• Before working on the product, switch off the control and secure it to prevent it from being
switched back on accidentally.
Checking wear
– Regularly check the reversing backlash of the slide for spindle nut wear. The wear on the ball
screw will lead to increased noise in the long term and eventually cause the ball screw drive to
block or the spindle nut to break. The maximum permissible reversing backlash is 0.2 mm.

Cleaning
– Clean the mini slide with a soft cloth if necessary. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
10 Disassembly
CAUTION!
Unexpected movement of components.
Injury due to impacts or crushing.
• Before working on the product, switch off the control and secure it to prevent it from being
switched back on accidentally.
• Observe transport information è 6 Transport.
– Remove motor cables and mounting components.
11 Disposal
– Dispose of the packaging and slide at the end of the production service life according to the valid
provisions for environmentally sound recycling.
