Positioning Set 8 40 contradirectional

Positioning Set 8 40 – run in a Profile 8 groove – provides a modular means of creating a simple feed screw adjustment. This can be done by feeding in a single direction or using contradirectional feed elements. Positioning Set 8 40 is ideal for precise positional adjustment of feed devices, measurement attachments, proximity switches and devices at manual work benches.

The basic components for an adjustment device include the Positioning Set 8 40 (1), the associated Feed Screw M6-LH (2) and the Handwheel D50 (3). Attachments are secured to the positioning slide using either anti-torsion positive locking in a groove of Line 8 or a screw connection (M6). Setscrews can be accessed from the side and are used to adjust the vertical play of the slide in the guide groove. The maximum pressure loading F x in the direction of movement is 200 N; perpendicular to the groove, a compressive force of 100 N and a tensile force of 50 N (F z direction) may act on the slides.

The optional Digital Position Indicators (4) (mechanical or electronic counter) enable precise positional adjustment of the Positioning Set. The mechanical position indicator provides a digital indication of the positioning distance (one revolution of the handwheel corresponds to a distance of 1 mm, resolution 0.1 mm). The electronic position indicator has a measuring accuracy of 0.01 mm. It can be calibrated by the user and provides a simple means of measuring the absolute value and incremental dimensions. N.B.: The Positioning Set combined with the position indicator is not a measuring device! It is used instead for setting predefined positions for e.g. repeat assembly operations.

The length of Feed Screw L S is determined as a function of the adjustment distance H and the accessory components: L S = H+130 mm (with Digital Position Indicator) L S = H+90 mm (without Digital Position Indicator) The length of the contradirectional Feed Screw is: L SG = H+67 mm

Adding a Positioning Set 8 40 contradirectional and a Feed Screw M6 (contradirectional) produces a positioning device that acts in both directions. Turning the Handwheel in clockwise direction moves the positioning slide away from the user (the contradirectional additional slide moves towards the positioning slide).
