2.3.3 Attachment of the Transported Object
• There are tapped holes on the top face of the slider. Affix the transported object here.
• There are two reamed holes on the top face of the slider. When repeatability in re-attaching is
required after it is detached, utilize these reamed holes. Also, use only one reamed hole on the slider
when fine-tuning such as perpendicularity is required.

Caution: Avoid applying moment loads in the Mb or Mc directions during an operation, and
make sure the load is distributed evenly on the slider.
There is a bushing made of a special plastic on the guide.
Applying a moment load may cause not only a twist or vibration on the slider, but
also shorten the life of the guide or drop in the speed due to the increase of sliding
resistance.
Tightening screws
• Use hexagonal socket head bolts for the male threads for installing the base.
• Use of high–tension bolts meeting at least ISO 10.9 is recommended.
• For the effective engagement length between the bolt and female thread, provide at least the
applicable value specified below:
Female thread is made of steel material ĺ Same length as the nominal diameter
Female thread is made of aluminum ĺ 2 times of nominal diameter
Caution: Pay attention when selecting the screw length. Use of a screw with inappropriate
length may destroy a tapped hole or cause a lack in the attachment strength of the
transported object, which may result in a cause of an unexpected accident.
