Mechanical installation

General installation safety notes

• Never work on the linear system with the power switched on.
• Keep hands clear while the unit is energized.
• Pinch points are present between the end support/motor mount and carriage.
• Failure modes of the linear system should be considered to ensure it does not create harm.

Basic installation considerations

1. Only mount the linear system using the designated mounting holes on the guide rail (CLSH and CLSV) or mounting blocks (CLSR). Check the part number on the product label (section 4.1) and cross reference with the ordering key (section 6.2) to determine which mounting style is used in your assembly.
2. Make sure that the linear system mounting position allows access to the lead wires so that it can be properly connected and powered on.
3. Make sure that there is enough clearance surrounding the carriage to allow it to freely move.

Mounting surface

1. The mounting surface should be flat and free from any dust, dirt or debris.
2. The surface must be straight so that it does not bend, twist or skew the unit (a).
   

Mounting of CLSH and CLSV units

1. The mounting holes are situated in the guide rail. Their exact position and dimensions depend on the size of the profile rail and can be found in the table below.
2. The first mounting hole (Y) on the motor side has a positional tolerance of ± 1.0 mm from the end of the guide rail.
3. The positional tolerance between the rest of the mounting holes (X) are 0.5 mm.
4. When bolting the unit to the surface, first insert screws in the mounting holes and tighten lightly.
   Then Starting from the center of the rail moving outwards, tighten each screw to the recommended tightening torque listed in the table in section 4.4.6.

CLSH/CLSV mounting holes

CLSV| 12A| 25| 10
CLSV| 15A| 40| 15
CLSV| 15F| 60| 20

Mounting of CLSR units

1. The mounting holes are situated in the end supports (Z). Their exact position and dimensions depend on the size of the round rail and motor size and can be found in the table below.
2. When bolting the unit to the surface, first insert screws in the mounting holes and tighten lightly.
   Then tighten each screw to the recommended tightening torque listed in the table in section 4.4.6.

Electrical installation

General notes

• Make sure the leads/cables leading to the motor can handle the maximum motor current.
• Do not exceed the peak current of the motor. Peak current is 1.41 × RMS current.
• An emergency stop is recommended to reduce the chance of a crushing hazard.
• Never work on the linear system or the wiring with the power switched on.

Electrical connections
The linear system motor is always supplied with flying lead wires that are attached to the stepper motor.
These lead wires are used to connect to the stepper motor and drive the carriage. Depending on the configuration, motors have various wire gauge sizes. The standard gauges are outlined in the table below.

Stepper motor control

Driving the stepper motor
There are many possible ways to drive a stepper motor. The most common way is to use a constant current or “chopper” drive. A chopper drive works by limiting the current into the stepper motor and “chopping” the voltage, allowing for maximum torque output from the motor. When using this type of drive, it is important to input the appropriate amount of current to maximize torque output and prevent damage to the motor. Recommended drive currents are determined using the following equations, where RMS current is the motor rated current found in the brochure:

When full stepping:
Drive current = RMS current

When micro stepping:
Drive current = peak current = 1.41 × RMS current

Configuration| Rated RMS motor current [A]| Drive current @ full stepping [A]| Drive current @ micro stepping [A

CLSx14A13| 1.35| 1.35| 1.90
CLSx17A10| 1.00| 1.00| 1.41
CLSx17A15| 1.50| 1.50| 2.12
CLSx17B10| 1.00| 1.00| 1.41
CLSx17B15| 1.50| 1.50| 2.12
CLSx23A15| 1.55| 1.55| 2.19
CLSx23A30| 3.00| 3.00| 4.23
CLSx23B19| 1.90| 1.90| 2.68
CLSx23B39| 3.90| 3.90| 5.50

Power supply voltage
When using a current limiting “chopper” drive, power supply voltage selection is completely dependent on your requirements and/or voltage availability. The voltage input into the motor impacts the performance of the stepper in regards to speed. For example, a stepper motor will usually perform better at higher speeds when a higher voltage is utilized. Typical voltage ranges are 12, 24 and 40 Vdc. All performance diagrams in the Compact Linear Systems brochure are generated with either 24 or 40 Vdc power supplies.
