APPLICATION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Main intended use

Linear motion systems using balls or rollers as rolling elements are a combination of linear guides and carriages for absorbing forces in all transverse directions and torques of all axes.

Ball and roller linear motion systems are designed solely to provide guidance and positioning in machine tools and equipment used in various industry segments.

It is assumed that the General Safety Instructions section has been read in its entirety and that the intended use of the products, as defined by their intended purpose, is understood.

Misuse

Any other use other than that described in the intended use is not intended use and is therefore unacceptable.

If unsuitable products are used in safety-critical production processes, unexpected operating conditions may occur that could pose a hazard to personnel or cause material damage.

The product may be used in technological production processes only if such use is permitted in the documentation.

The manufacturer bears no liability for damage arising from improper use.

Risks arising from improper use are the sole responsibility of the user.

Other non-targeted uses of the product include, for example, transporting people.

General safety instructions
  • The current regulations for accident prevention and environmental protection must be observed;
  • The product should only be used if it is in good condition;
  • The product shall only be put into operation when it has been established that the end product (e.g. the machine or installation in which the product is used) complies with the regulations, safety provisions and standards for use;
  • Ball and roller linear motion systems are not permitted to be used in hazardous areas;
  • Ball and roller linear motion systems are prohibited from being altered or modified, and the product is prohibited from being disassembled;
  • At high travel speeds, some noise from the equipment is generated. If necessary, appropriate noise control measures should be taken;
  • Special safety requirements for certain industries (e.g. crane manufacturing, food processing technology and food processing equipment) contained in laws, directives and standards must be observed;
  • The safety regulations and requirements of the country in which the product is used must be observed.
