Base Body
The base body is the basis of the positioner. The L-417.xx9232B is mounted onto a surface via
the base body (p. 15).
The base body comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
Drive screw
The drive screw converts the rotary motion of the drive to linear motion of the motion
platform.
Limit switches
The limit switches are sensors at each end of the travel range that enable the electronics to
abort motion in order to prevent the motion platform from colliding with the mechanical
hard stop.
Drive
The drive generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.

4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The drive comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):
Motor
The motor generates the torque required for the dynamics of the motion platform.
Rotary encoder
The rotary encoder measures the motor shaft's angle of rotation. This signal can be used by
suitable electronics for commutating the motor and for calculating the position of the motion
platform after a reference move .

Holding brake
The holding brake blocks the drivetrain at rest.
The holding brake is designed for holding only and is not suitable for continuous braking
during operation.
The holding brake blocks in a zero voltage state.
Purge Air System
The purge air system protects the drive and guides of the L-417.xx9232B against surrounding
dust.
The purge air system comprises the following subassembly (subassemblies):

Passive dust protection
The passive dust protection consists of covering strips that seal the openings on the side of
the L-417.xx9232B's base body and therefore reduces the amount of dust that can penetrate.
L417M0010EN ‒ 7/9/2019
Active dust protection
The active dust protection consists of a purge air connector on the base body of the
L-417.xx9232B, which creates a slight overpressure in the L-417.xx9232B and therefore
reduces the amount of dust that can penetrate.

7 STARTUP / OPERATION
NOTICE
Operating voltage excessively high or incorrectly connected!
Operating voltages that are too high or incorrectly connected can cause damage to the
L-417.xx9232B.
► Pay attention to the operating voltage range (p. 30), which is specified for the
L-417.xx9232B.
► Pay attention to correct pin assignment (p. 34).
NOTICE
Damage due to collisions!
Collisions can damage the L-417.xx9232B, the load to be moved, and the surroundings.
► Stop the motion immediately if an electronics malfunction occurs.
► If possible, adapt the travel range limits of your mechanical system in the software that
you use for commanding the motion.
NOTICE
Uncontrolled oscillation!
Oscillation can cause irreparable damage to the L-417.xx9232B. Oscillation is indicated by a
humming noise and can be caused by the following:
■ The load and/or dynamics during operation differ considerably from the calibration
settings.
► If you notice oscillation, stop the L-417.xx9232B immediately.
L417M0010EN ‒ 7/9/2019

opposite end of the travel range (see manual for the electronics).
b) If necessary: Command the L-417.xx9232B to a position, where the load can be
mounted onto the motion platform again and mount the load back onto the
L-417.xx9232B (p. 18).
8.2Relubricating

Glossary
Backlash
Position error caused by mechanical play in that drivetrain that occurs when changing the
direction. Backlash is caused by mechanical play in drivetrain components such as
gearheads, bearings or by friction in the guides. In contrast to hysteresis, backlash can lead
to instability in position-controlled systems because it causes dead time in the servo loop.
Backlash depends on the temperature, acceleration, load, leadscrew position, positioning
direction, wear etc. Backlash is suppressed by preloading the drivetrain. A position
measuring method that can detect the position of the platform directly, eliminates all errors
in the drivetrain (direct measuring). The data table shows typical measured values. Data for
vacuum versions can differ.
Design Resolution
The theoretical minimum movement that can be made. Design resolution must not be
confused with minimum incremental motion. In indirect position measurement methods,
values for drive screw pitch, gear ratio, motor or sensor/encoder resolution, for example, are
included in the calculation of the resolution. Normally, the design resolution is considerably
below the minimum incremental motion of the mechanics. In direct measurement methods,
the resolution of the sensor system is specified.
L417M0010EN
‒ 7/9/2019
Lateral Force
Also: lateral load capacity
Maximum permissible force orthogonally to the positioning direction. This value is valid
directly for the motion platform and is reduced when the force acts above the platform.
Limit Switch
Each limit switch sends its signal to the controller on a dedicated line. The controller then
interrupts the motion avoiding that the positioner moves until the hard stop and gets
damaged. PI positioners have mechanical, noncontact optical or Hall-effect limit switches.
Load Capacity
Maximum load in the vertical direction when the L-417.xx9232B is mounted horizontally. The
contact point of the load is at the center of the motion platform.
Reference Switch
Many of the positioners are equipped with a direction sensing reference switch positioned
approx. in the middle of the travel range. It is recommended to approach the reference
switch always from the same direction to obtain best position repeatability.
Function: Optical, magnetic
39
Sensor resolution
The sensor can be the critical element of position resolution so it may be necessary to
specify the sensor resolution separately. Rotary encoder: Impulses per screw rotation. Linear
encoder: Smallest motion still detected by the sensor system.

L417M0010EN ‒ 7/9/2019
Travel range
The maximum possible travel range is limited by the length of the drive screw. A possible
gap between the limit switches determines the travel range.
