citly stipulated in these operating instructions.
• Mount the motor onto the axis in accordance with the assembly
instructions for the motor mounting kit recommended in the
catalogue.
5.1.1

Carrying out the product installation

Note
Heavy tensile loads may cause the screws in the cover to be pulled out.
• Do not affix EGC-...-BS-KF to the bearing cap via the foot mountings only; always use
profile mountings or slot nut mountings as well (
EGC-HD...-BS cannot be affixed to the bearing cap.
• Ensure that there is no tension or distortion present
(evenness of mounting surface ≤ 0.05% of the stroke length;
max. 0.5 mm).
For gantry applications, parallel alignment of the axes is addi-
tionally required. For additional information please contact your
local Festo service centre.
• Position the EGC in such a way that its operating elements are accessible.
• Adhere to the specified spacings between supports.
The diagrams ( 13 Characteristic curves) give the specified support spacings, dependent on the
mounting position and effective load.
If the specified support spacings are exceeded, it is imperative to carry out an individual functional
test.
Note
Unsuitable mounting techniques can damage the EGC.
• Make sure that the mounting components are outside the positioning range of the
slide.
