F a a FFig. 9: Positioning payload
- Position the payload on the slide. Position the centre of gravity of the payload as low as possible.
- Close the one-way flow control valves.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with gears and a screw (no text or symbols)- Open the one-way flow control valves by one revolution.
- Pressurise the drive. Slowly pressurise with an on-off valve.
The slide moves to an end position.
- Start a test run with a moveable mass.
-
Take the following into account in the test run:
-
The speed and the acceleration of the moveable mass
- The end position
- The mass of the payload
- The position of the proximity switches
- Only make changes when the slide is stationary.
- Unscrew the one-way flow control valves until the required speed of the slide is reached.
i
An increased speed when approaching the end position can result in the slide rebounding from the end position.

10.3 Lubrication
i
Note
Check the need for shorter lubrication intervals:
- At high temperatures.
- With excessive dirt accumulation.
-
In the vicinity of grease-dissolving liquids or grease-dissolving vapours.
-
Lubricate the product as required.
-
Lubricate the piston rod and the guide rail.
Use the following lubricant:
Festo LUB-KC1
- Move the slide by hand for even lubrication.
11 Fault clearance
| Fault description Cause Remedy | ||
| The slide moves unevenly. The one-way flow control valves are not installed correctly. | Control the exhaust air flow. | |
| The slide is in initial position despite pressurisation. | The tubing is faulty. Check the tubing. | |
| The slide speed is too low. The air volume is insufficient. -Increase the connection cross-sections.-Check the flow control valve setting.-Connect a volume upstream. | ||
| The slide stops in the end position without cushioning. | The speed is too high. Reduce the speed. | |
| The cushioning is too low. -Re-adjust the shock absorber and the (fixed) stop → 9 Commissioning.-Reduce the speed.-Check the shock absorbers and replace if necessary. | ||
| The air cushion is not present. Pressurise both supply ports simultaneously, then exhaust one side. | ||
| The shock absorbers are faulty. Replace the shock absorbers. | ||
| The payload is too large Reduce the payload. | ||
| The proximity switches have no function. | The slide has been magnetised. Contact Festo → www.festo.com. | |
