1.1 Objective and Target Audience of this User Manual
This manual contains information on the intended use of the L-509.
It assumes that the reader has a fundamental understanding of basic servo systems as well as
motion control concepts and applicable safety procedures.
The latest versions of the user manuals are available for download (p. 3) on our website.
1.2 Symbols and Typographic Conventions
The following symbols and typographic conventions are used in this user manual:
CAUTION

1.3 Definition
Term Definition
Load capacity Maximum load capacity in the vertical direction when the
stage is mounted horizontally. The contact point of the load is
in the center of the platform.
Max. push/pull
force
Maximum force in the direction of motion. Some stages may
have higher forces but with limited lifetimes. In the case of
vertical mounting, the specified value (p. 47) for models
without a gearhead and brake only applies when the servo
mode is on.
Linear encoder The linear encoder is an incremental sensor for capturing
changes in position. Signals from the sensor are used for axis
position feedback. After switching on the controller a
reference point definition must be performed before absolute
target positions can be commanded and reached.
1.4 Figures
For better understandability, the colors, proportions, and degree of detail in illustrations can
deviate from the actual circumstances. Photographic illustrations may also differ and must not
be seen as guaranteed properties.

2.1 Intended Use
The L-509 is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010. It is intended for indoor use and
use in an environment that is free of dirt, oil and lubricants.
In accordance with its design and realization, the L-509 is intended for single-axis positioning,
adjusting and shifting of loads at different velocities. The L-509 is not intended for applications
in areas in which a failure would present severe risks to human beings or the environment.
The L-509 is intended for horizontal or vertical mounting. For the load limits with vertical
mounting, see "General Notes on Installation" (p. 17).
The intended use of the L-509 is only possible when completely mounted and connected.
The L-509 must be operated with a suitable controller (p. 12). The controller is not included in
the scope of delivery of the L-509.
2.2 General Safety Instructions
The L-509 is built according to state-of-the-art technology and recognized safety standards.
Improper use can result in personal injury and/or damage to the L-509.
Only use the L-509 for its intended purpose, and only use it if it is in a good working
order.
Read the user manual.
Immediately eliminate any faults and malfunctions that are likely to affect safety.
The operator is responsible for the correct installation and operation of the L-509.
