guide 6 a movement in a vertical and horiĆ
zontal direction is forced (y−z path). Spring
clamping elements
8 fitted to the end stops

accuracy in positioning. Self−adjusting hyĆ
draulic shock absorbers

tions cushion the movement. The end posiĆ
tions can be scanned with proximity switches
SME/SMT−8 The switching status of the proxĆ
imity switches can be observed through the
viewing window when the protective cover is fitted on.
The stroke range for both end positions (receive and release positions) is set
separately depending on the installation position:
