WARNING
Risk of Injury due to Unexpected Movement of Components
For vertical or slanted mounting position: when power is off, moving parts can
travel or fall uncontrolled into the lower end position.
•Bring moving parts of the product into a safe end position or secure them
against falling.
WARNING
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 with low dynamic response.
Malfunction Possible cause Remedy
Loud running noises,
vibrations or rough
running of the axis.
Coupling distance too
short.
Observe permissible coupling spacings

Torsional stresses –Install axis without tension. Make sure that
the contact surface is flat è 6.4 Mounting
the axis.
–Change the layout of the attachment compo-
nent (e.g. payload).
–Align axes parallel to each another.
Current controller set-
tings.
Optimise controller data (e.g. velocity, accelera-
tion, ...).
Resonance oscillation
of the axis.
Change the travel velocity.

Insufficient lubrication
of guide.
Lubricate the guide è 9.4 Lubrication.
Vibrations at the canti-
lever.
Operation at the reso-
nant frequency of the
axis.
–Change the travel velocity.
–Change the acceleration.
–Increase axis stiffness (e.g. shorter support
distances).
–Change the payload geometry.
Long cantilever oscilla-
tion.
Resonant frequency of
profile and payload too
low.
–Change the payload geometry.
Cantilever or slide
does not move.
Coupling slips. Check the mounting of the shaft-hub connection
è Instruction manual for the motor mounting
kit, è www.festo.com/sp.
Loads too high. Reduce forces and torques. Consider dynamics.
Toothed belt torn. –Contact local Festo Service.
–Replace axis è www.festo.com/catalogue.
Overruns the end posi-
tion.
Sensor does not
switch.
Check sensor, installation and parameterisation.

Wave formation on the
cover strip or alumi-
nium abrasion on the
axis.
Wear on belt reversals. –Retension cover strip è 9.2 Checking axis ele-
ments.

1) Clamping means that the clamping unit fixes the stationary cantilever at its current position.
2) The general assumption B10d = 2 x B10 is not permissible.
3) Emergency braking means braking of the moving mass, e.g. in case of power failure of the system.
