1INSTALLATION MANUAL FLEXFIT

Product catalog summary

Installation Manual Overview:
This document provides detailed instructions for the installation of FlexFit profiles, carriers, and rubber stops. It includes specifications, materials used, installation procedures, and maintenance recommendations.

Materials Specifications:

Carrier: Made from AISI 304 / 1.4301 stainless steel.
Wheels: Components include hardened AISI 440C / 1.4125 for inner and outer rings and balls, with a PA6.6 ball cage and NSF Class H1 grease.
Profile: Options include AISI 430 / 1.4016 stainless steel and galvanized steel S235JRG2 / 1.0038, resistant to zinc corrosion for up to 96 hours.

Installation Guidelines:

Ensure no pollution, vibration, or shock load during installation.
Center the load correctly to avoid torque issues.
Use dedicated tools for stainless steel profiles to prevent corrosion.
Optimal cutting length and cleaning (deburring) of the profile are essential.
Lubricate the profile-carrier contact with recommended lubricants like TRI lubrication or Cassida GTX2 for optimal performance and longevity.
Clean the profile every 60,000 cycles and renew lubrication.

Fastening Instructions:

Use M5 DIN 7991 bolts, tightening with a torque of 4-5 Nm.
Insert the rubber stop into the profile and secure with bolts.
Note: The rubber stop is designed for misuse situations, absorbing 25 Joules of energy up to 10 times, but not for continuous use as a rail stop over 100,000 cycles.

3. Lubricate profile Rollers are sealed and lubricated for life: no lubrication or maintenance needed. Lubrication of profile-carrier contact is critical for high service life and load capacity. Recommended: TRI lubrication, art no 16901223 (tube 20 gram) Cassida GTX2 (Registered by NSF Class H1, for incidental food contact) Please act according to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet of the used grease. Clean profile each 60.000 cycles and renew lubrication for longer lifetime Amount: Ø1 mm over full length. FLEXFIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
