MINISLIDE MSQscale Product Overview Product range of MINISLIDE MSQscale Demanding applications demand special guideways. This extraordinary innovation combines guiding and measuring functions in a highly integrated design. MINISLIDE MSQscale makes the most compact applications possible and significantly simplifies assembly and installation. Thus, the MINISLIDE MSQscale is an extremely economical solution that meets stringent technical requirements. The MINISLIDE MSQscale is based on our MINISLIDE MSQ guideways. MINISLIDE MSQ embodies the latest generation of miniature guideways for very demanding...

SCHNEEBERGER UNEAR TECHNCXOGY MINISLIDE MSQscale Product Overview Highly integrated, compact design • The sensor is perfectly integrated into the carriage and sealed • The dimensional scale is marked directly on the guideway Minimal design planning • Extra space for a separate distance measuring system is not required • More compact designs can be implemented Quick and easy mounting • The MSQscale is ready to install upon delivery • No need for additional components and special mounting (as would be required for a glass scale, for example) • No need to adjust the read head separately • No need...

SCHNEEBERGER UNEAJt TECHNOLOGY MINISLIDE MSQscale Product Overview (1) The standard lubrication covers a temperature range from -20° C to +80° C. Lubricants for other temperatures are available upon request from SCHNEEBERGER (see chapter 4.4). (2) The suitability for a vacuum depends on the materials used. In order to use MSQscale in a vacuum, the fastening screws and front plates must be removed. There are also restrictions on the use of sensor accessories. Use in a vacuum requires a special lubricant available from SCHNEEBERGER. Please contact your SCHNEEBERGER representative for details on...

SCHNEEBERGER UNEAR TECHNCXOGY MINISLIDE MSQscale Product Characteristics The range includes rail widths of 7, 9, 12 and 15 mm, that are available, depending on type, in four or five different lengths and strokes. 2.1 High Speed and Acceleration High-acceleration applications demand well thought-out solutions. The unique MINISLIDE MSQscale design with integrated cage control fulfills the requirements of the most advanced drive technologies and enables speeds up to 3 m/s and an acceleration of up to 300 m/s 2. 2.2 High Process Reliability thanks to Cage Control In applications without cage control...

SCHNEEBERGER UNEAR TECHNOLOGY MINISLIDE MSQscale Product Characteristics 2.3 Maximum Rigidity and Load Capacities MINISLIDE MSQ products have four tracks with a circular arc profile. Their arrangement in the shape of an O ensures large inner spacings. In combination with the tracks offset by 90 degrees, a high level of evenly distributed force from all directions is achieved, as well as torque rigidity. MINISLIDE products are preloaded with zero backlash. Combined with the high number of rolling elements, a high level of system rigidity and therefore the highest precision are guaranteed. The...

Tolerance of the Total Height MINISLIDE MSQscale Product Characteristics B2 Tolerance of the total height Push Force and Preload The push force is influenced by the preload and the lubricant used. MINISLIDE MSQscale guideways are delivered with zero backlash and slightly preloaded as standard. Friction and Smoothness SCHNEEBERGER places high value on smoothness during manufacturing. The accuracy of the surfaces and materials is of the highest priority. This also applies with respect to the rolling elements used, which must satisfy the most stringent quality demands. Under normal operating conditions...

MINISLIDE MSQscale Working Method and Components The MINISLIDE MSQscale is an optical, incremental measuring system made up of the MINISLIDE MSQ micro frictionless table and the following additional components: B Components of MINISLIDE MSQscale Dimensional scale on the guide rail Optical sensor integrated into the carriage Flexible sensor print (must not be exposed to dynamic loads) Interface module The control cable E must be supplied by the customer and must be a flexible cable where necessary. There are various structural types of interface modules available. These are described in section...

MINISLIDE MSQscale Working Method and Components Reference Marks Incremental measuring systems cannot determine the exact position when switched on. For this reason the reference track is added alongside the incremental track. One or multiple reference points can be marked on the reference track. Reference marks Reference track Incremental track Guideway with dimensional scale Standard version The following reference positions are defined as standard: • All sizes of the MSQS 7, size MSQS 9-50.42 and MSQS 9-60.50: within 4 mm of rail center point Rail center Position of the reference mark at all...
