Figure 10 - Tee Nut Mounting
Tee nuts are used to mount the linear stage from underneath. Insert the Tee nuts
every 120 mm (4.72 in.) in both T-slots on the bottom of the linear stage. Secure
the Tee nuts by using M6 SHCS as shown in Figure 10.
Mount the Linear Stage
Follow these steps to install a linear stage on its mounting surface.
1. Be sure the mounting surface is clear of any and all foreign material.
If necessary, stone the mounting surface (acetone or methanol can be
applied as cleaning agent).
2. Verify the flatness of the mounting surface.
The total indicator reading (TIR) is 0.0254 mm (0.001 in.) per 300 mm
(12 in.). TIR or runout, correlates to an overall flatness of a surface .
IMPORTANT Do not use abrasives to clean the surface.
