Checkpoint 1:
Check if the clearance between the top face of the stainless sheet and the back of
the clearance-checking tool falls within the specified range along the entire stroke.
Slider body
Stainless sheet
Clearances between stainless
sheet edges and slider body
Checkpoint 2:
Look through the peripheral openings and confirm that the
stainless sheet edges do not contact the slider body.
Move the slider back and forth at least three times over the
entire stroke to ensure the edges do not contact the slider.
The sheet may move during the slider strokes, but slight
movement is acceptable as long as the offset does not
increase and the sheet does not contact the slider.
If the stainless sheet contacts the slider, repeat the
adjustment from [1].
The stainless sheet is not perfectly straight, but it bends to
right and left slightly.
It is impossible to adjust the right and left clearances
perfectly uniform.
Slight variation in clearance in the stroke direction or
between right and left is acceptable, as long as the stainless
sheet edges do not contact the slider body over the entire
stroke.
Apply additional torque to the screws on both ends until the
stainless sheet no longer moves.
Tightening torque: 87.2 N�cm (8.90 kgf�cm) [Reference value]
[3] Move the slider and check the tension of the stainless sheet along the entire stroke.
If the conditions in Checkpoints 1 and 2 are not satisfied, loosen the screws and readjust the
position and tension of the stainless sheet again from [1].
Note) If the condition in Checkpoint 2 cannot be met after the readjustment, try installing the stainless sheet in
the reverse direction or placing it upside down. If the stainless sheet is still not adjusted properly, replace
it with a new sheet.
[4] When proper clearances are obtained between the slider body and stainless sheet and an absence of
contact between the two is confirmed, tighten the two screws on the loose end alternately, and then finally
tighten all screws to a uniform torque to securely affix the stainless sheet. If the screws are not tightened
uniformly, the sheet may meander or lift.
[5] Remove the clearance-checking tool and install the slider covers.
Note) Again, pay attention not to lose the coil springs and spacers.
