Curviline Technical Information Preload Curviline from Automotion Components Setting the Preload Slider Type Tightening Torque Nm L1978.C16 7 L1978.C23 12 If the Curviline system is delivered as a system, the sliders are already set with no clearance. In this case xing screws are secured with Loctite at the factory. If delivered separately, or if the sliders should be installed in another track, the eccentric rollers must be re-adjusted. Important: Loctite must be applied to the roller xing screws to prevent loosening. Wipe the raceways clean. Increase preload Reduce preload Lock to tightening torque Slightly loosen the xing screws of the rollers. The eccentric rollers are marked on the bottom of the bearing. Position the slider(s) at the ends of the rail. Insert the at spanner (provided) onto the hexagonal nut at the top of the roller. By turning the spanner clockwise the roller is pressed against the raceway and thus reduces the clearance. Please note that with increasing preload, the friction is also increased and thus the service life is reduced. Hold the roller with the spanner in the desired position and carefully tighten the xing screw. The exact tightening torque will be checked later. Move the slider on the rail and check the preload over the entire length of the rail. It should move easily and the slider should have no play at any point of the rail. Now tighten the xing screws to the speci ed tightening torque, whilst securing the roller bearing with the spanner. A special thread in the roller secures the set position.
