A mechanical linear unit converts rotational motion into linear motion
and is used to move loads quickly, safely and precisely from one
position to another.
The Beta xx-AxS version consists of a mobile aluminium base profile, a
carriage drive supported by a guide element (recirculating ball bearing
or roller bearing guidance system) and a drive element (rack or timing
belt drive).
The carriage drive is permanently fixed. The base profile carries the
load, and can be moved in and out of the working area like a telescopic
arm.
Optionally, the linear unit can be fitted with electronic limit switches and
electromechanical safety limit switches (see section 6.2).
The effective range can be flexibly configured. Linear units of type Beta
xx-AxS in combination with standard linear units of type Beta xx-ZxS or
-SxS may be arranged two-dimensionally (2 axes) or three-
dimensionally (3 axes.
Driven linear units can be connected to non-driven units of the same
type by a plate, to be able to take large-area loads for example.

Transportation and storage
FM 239 MuW Beta Type Z Rev.01 2020-07-22 13
5 Transportation and storage
The mechanical linear unit is a precision item. Its mechanism may be
damaged by heavy jolting, resulting in impairment of its functions.
Risk of damage by heavy jolting or bending!
Transport the assembled linear unit only with the transit protection
fitted.
To prevent damage during transportation and storage, protect the linear
unit against shaking and sliding as follows:
•Stow it in a box of sufficient size.
•Use packing.
Section 3 lists the unit weights.
Protect the unit against:
•dirt;
•corrosion;
•water;
•and aggressive atmospheres.

Installation and adjustment

6 Installation and adjustment
The carriage drive of the linear unit can be attached by way of the
tapped and through holes on the top and sides of the bearing casing.
Install the linear unit on a flat surface. Unit parallelism < 0.2 mm/
1,000 mm.
6.1 Attaching the load on the linear unit base profile
Attachment options
The load can be attached on the base profile by the following methods
(Figure 3):
•By way of the tapped holes on both front faces
•By way of tapped hole rails
•By way of sliding blocks
•By way of the T-slot on the underside
Sliding blocks

Figure 4: Mounting rails (1)
The recommended maximum spacing between the mounting rails is
700 mm.
Procedure
1. Attach the mounting rails (1) loosely in position (Figure 4).
2. Align the linear unit axially.
3. Tighten the mounting rails (1)
(for tightening torques see section 3).
6.2 Setting maximum travel
Serious injury may result if the transport carriers topple over.
If the base profile moves to its full extent beyond the safety zone, the
transport carrier mounted on it may break away or topple over. The
linear unit may be destroyed
During setup, observe the specified safety zone and set the limit
switches accordingly.
Electrical switches may only be connected by qualified electricians.
To stop the base profile promptly in the event of an emergency
stop, allow for adequate braking distance.

6.2.1 Setting the positions of the inductive limit switches
The function of inductive proximity switches is to shut down the electric
drive before the mechanical end position is reached.
The necessary braking distance (ΔB) depends on the velocity and
deceleration of the carriage. The braking distance must be between the
switching point of the proximity switch and the actual mechanical end
position.

The limit switches must switch so that the base profile comes to a stop
immediately before the safety zone. The safety zone is factory-marked
on the unit by a band (3).
Procedure
1. Connect the power to the limit switches.
2. Slacken the limit switch fixing screws.
3. Run the base profile as far as the braking position.
4. Move the limit switch (NC contact) under the switching cam until it
trips and the LED on the sensor goes out.

6.2.2 Setting the positions of the mechanical limit switches
Mechanical safety limit switches (NC contacts) must be used if a
hazard is posed to personnel as soon as the electric drive fails to shut
down.
The drive may only be started up when all limit switches are connected
and correctly set!
A combination with inductive proximity switches is possible.
External shock-absorbers must be fitted to protect against mechanical
destruction.
The necessary braking distance (ΔB) depends on the velocity and
deceleration of the carriage. The braking distance must be between the
switching point of the limit switch and the actual mechanical end
position (Figure 6).

The limit switches must switch so that the base profile comes to a stop
immediately before the safety zone. The safety zone is factory-marked
on the unit by a band (3).
Procedure
1. Connect the power to the limit switches.
2. Slacken the bracket fixing screw (Figure 6).
3. Run the base profile as far as the safety zone.
4. Move the limit switch until it trips.
5. Tighten the bracket fixing screw.
6. Check the correct position of the limit switch: Move the base profile
manually and observe the switching operation.
If the braking distance is too short, repeat the set-up.
6.3 Mounting a drive unit
Make sure the direction of rotation of the external drive unit takes into
account the direction of the spindle or timing belt so that the limit
switches work correctly.
