9.8 Replacing/Adjusting the Stainless Sheet
[Items Required for Replacement]
• Replacement stainless sheet
• Clearance-checking tool (a regular slider cover with holes)
(This tool is available from IAI’s Sales Engineering Section. If you are replacing the stainless sheet, please
contact us to make a rental arrangement or purchase the tool.)
• Allen wrench set • Phillips screwdriver • Scale
[Note on Stainless Sheet Tension]
Deterioration and wear of the stainless sheet is affected by its tension.
If the stainless sheet is too tight, excessive clearances will be created between the sheet and slider covers and
the sheet may undergo a fatigue failure.
If the stainless sheet is too loose, the sheet will contact the back of the slider covers and generate shaving.
Therefore, use a dedicated adjustment tool to properly adjust the tension of the stainless sheet so that the
clearances between the stainless sheet and slider covers conform to the specified dimension.
