6. Grease nipple for relubricating the drive screw
4.4.1 Base Body
The base body is the basis of the positioner. The L-412.xx9232 is mounted onto a surface via
the base body (p. 13).
The base body comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
Drive screw
The drive screw converts the rotary motion of the drive to linear motion of the motion
platform.
Limit switches
The limit switches are sensors at each end of the travel range that enable the electronics to
abort motion in order to prevent the motion platform from colliding with the mechanical
hard stop.
4.4.2 Drive
The drive generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.
The drive comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
Motor
The motor generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.
Rotary encoder
The rotary encoder measures the motor shaft's angle of rotation. This signal can be used by
suitable electronics for commutating the motor and for calculating the position of the motion
platform after a reference move .
4.4.3 Purge Air System
The purge air system protects the drive and guides of the L-412.xx9232 against surrounding
dust.
The purge air system comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION L412M0006EN ‒ 3/14/2019
10 MOTION | POSITIONING

Passive dust protection
The passive dust protection consists of covering strips that seal the openings on the side of
the L-412.xx9232's base body and therefore reduces the amount of dust that can penetrate.
Active dust protection
The active dust protection consists of a purge air connector on the base body of the
L-412.xx9232, which creates a slight overpressure in the L-412.xx9232 and therefore reduces
the amount of dust that can penetrate.

►If the protective earth conductor has to be removed temporarily (e.g., for modifications),
reconnect the L-412.xx9232 to the protective earth conductor before restarting.
CAUTION
Risk of crushing by moving parts!
Risk of minor injuries from crushing between the moving parts of the L-412.xx9232 or the
load and a fixed part or obstacle.
►Use safeguards to protect limbs in areas where they could be caught by moving parts.
►Maintain the safety distances according to DIN EN ISO 13857 when installing protective
structures.
CAUTION
Burning due to hot surface!
The drive of the L-412.xx9232 and the surroundings can heat up during operation. Touching
the drive and surrounding parts can result in minor injuries from burning.
►Make sure that the hot drive and the surrounding parts cannot be touched.
NOTICE
Operating voltage excessively high or incorrectly connected!
Operating voltages that are too high or incorrectly connected can cause damage to the
L-412.xx9232.
►Pay attention to the operating voltage range (p. 28), which is specified for the
L-412.xx9232.
►Pay attention to correct pin assignment (p. 32).
7 STARTUP / OPERATION L412M0006EN ‒ 3/14/2019
19 MOTION | POSITIONING

NOTICE
Unintentional change in position due to missing self-locking!
The drive of the L-412.xx9232 does not have self-locking. The L-412.xx9232 can therefore
move unintentionally when the controller is switched off, e.g., when deactivating the servo
mode or switching the electronics off. Unintentional changes in position can damage the
L-412.xx9232, the load to be moved, and the surroundings.
►If you want to operate the positioner with a vertically aligned or inclined motion axis:
Attach suitable gravity compensation or a holding brake (not in the scope of delivery).
►Before switching off the controller, take suitable measures to ensure that unintentional
changes in the position of the motion platform are not possible.
NOTICE
Damage due to collisions!
Collisions can damage the L-412.xx9232, the load to be moved, and the surroundings.
►Stop the motion immediately if an electronics malfunction occurs.
►If possible, adapt the travel range limits of your mechanical system in the software that
you use for commanding the motion.
NOTICE
Uncontrolled oscillation!
Oscillation can cause irreparable damage to the L-412.xx9232. Oscillation is indicated by a
humming noise and can result from the following causes:
■The load and/or dynamics during operation differ considerably to the calibration settings.
■The L-412.xx9232 is operated near to its resonant frequency.
►If you notice oscillation, stop the L-412.xx9232 immediately.
Starting and Operating the L-412.xx9232
1. Start the electronics (see the user manual for the electronics).
2. Configure the electronics for the L-412.xx9232 during startup:
■If you are using a digital controller from PI: In the PC software, select the entry in the
positioner database that matches the L-412.xx9232 exactly.
■If you are using electronics from another manufacturer: Configure the electronics
according to the parameters of the L-412.xx9232.
3. Start a few motion cycles for testing purposes (see the user manual for the electronics).
