RKLF end clamps
The end clamp kit is designed to be used with Renishaw RKLF scale to ensure the scale is mastered
to the substrate. Alternative narrow 6mm wide end clamps (A-9523-4111) are also available.

1. Clean ends of scale and the area where end clamps are to be tted using Renishaw scale
wipes or one of the recommended solvents (see ‘Storage and handling’ on page 8).
2. Thoroughly mix up a sachet of RGG-2 two part epoxy adhesive and apply a small amount
to the underside of the end clamp.
4. Remove the backing tape from either side. Immediately position end clamp over the end of
the scale and push down to ensure complete adhesion. Allow 24hours at 20°C for full cure.

3. The end clamp features two small regions ofcontact adhesive. These will temporarily hold the
end clamp in position while the epoxycures.

To ensure scale end movement of typically <1µm, stabilise the system at least 5°C higher
than the maximum customer application temperature for a minimum of 8hours. For example:
Customerapplication = 23°C axis temperature. Stabilise the system at 28°C for a minimum of 8hours.
CAUTION: Ensure that excess epoxy iswipedaway
from scale as it may affect thereadhead signal level.
NOTE: End clamps can be mounted before or after readhead installation.
