The clamping screws built into the sleeve may only be actuated when the bore and outside surface of the compression sleeve are covered by the connecting components. Otherwise the clamping sleeves could be destroyed as a result of plastic deformation.
Before mounting, all parts belonging to the round guide must be carefully cleaned and wet slightly using low-viscosity machine oil without additives.
Assembly:
Insert the guide bushing and ring piston into the housing borehole without exerting force.
Mount the flange cover loosely without the shim ring.
Insert the sleeve.
Tighten the clampiong screws at the flange cover evenly crosswise until loss of play is indicated by stiffer sliding action of the sleeve.
Precisely gauge the mounting gap for the shim ring, remove the cover.
Adjust the high of the shim ring. Recommendation: Measured mounting gap + approx. 0,02 mm for contact surface compression.
Mount the flange cover and the underneath shim ring, tighten the screws crosswise.
Check the guide play. If necessary, correct by reworking the shim ring (reducing guide play) or the flange cover (increasing guide play).
Clamping:
In order to obtain complete freedom from play between the sleeve and housing, the guide bushing once adjusted for optimum guide play is hydraulically clamped by the ring piston.
For further arrangements with mechanical or hydraulic clamping, see the assembly examples.
