9.1.5Mover coupling
Two, four or six movers can be coupled with a frame. Regardless of
the mover design, the following requirements must be met for the
coupling:
• 240mm center distance between movers
• Rectangular arrangement of the movers
• Use the same mover version, e.g. only APM4550-0000
The center distance ensures an almost linear increase in payload.
The total payload can be calculated by multiplying the number of
movers by the maximum payload of a mover minus the frame
weight:
A x B C = D ‒
Variable Explanation
A Number of movers
B Maximum load of a mover
C Frame weight
D Total payload
For further information on mover coupling, please contact your local
Beckhoff office or support@beckhoff.com.
