3.2.3 Handling – Transportation
Observe relevant transport regulations during
transportation.
When the shipment is received, immediately check that no
damage has been done during transportation. If not, imme-
diately inform the shipping company and Ewellix. If the ship-
ment has been damaged, do not commission it.
Use suitable load suspension devices for transport and
assembly.
Weights of cylinder and any gear and motor are indicated on
corresponding nameplates. If not, please read the technical
documentation of the corresponding manufacturer.
In case of a problem, please contact your local Ewellix
representative.
NOTE
During actuator handling, please take care not to damage the
limit switches and home switch (if these options have been
taken).
3.2.4 General recommendations for
installation
1. When mounting the cylinder, check that all parts to
which it is fixed are correctly aligned. This should be
done throughout the complete stroke. Note: Poor align-
ment will reduce the life of the cylinder.
2. Radial load or bending torque must not be applied to the
cylinder pushing tube. Otherwise cylinder lifetime might
be drastically reduced.
3. Avoid shocks on the pushing tube. Do not hit it with a
hammer.
4. Check that cylinder can move freely and there is no ob-
struction over the full stroke.
5. Do not modify any part of cylinder
6. Do not add any part/component on cylinder
NOTE
If actuator has no anti-rotation on the force tube, it is possible to
extend or retract by turning force tube by hand.
3.3 Electrical installation
3.3.1 Motor
Generally, please read the technical documentation from
the motor manufacturer to know how to properly install the
motor. The details concerning the motor can be found on its
nameplate.
If the motor manufacturer doesn’t supply paper documenta-
tion or documentation CD-ROM, it means that a user man-
ual can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s web site.
In case of a problem and if motor has been sold by Ewellix,
please contact your local Ewellix representative. Otherwise,
please contact motor supplier.
DANGER
During and after operation, some parts of the cylinder carry
dangerous voltages. Electric shock hazard. Risk of serious or
fatal injuries.
Strictly observe the safety instructions in this manual and
the safety instructions of manuals associated with each
commissioned equipment (motor, servoamplifier, etc).
Do not unplug motor connectors before switching off the power
supply of the corresponding servoamplifier. First unplug the
signal connector and then the power connector.
Motor rotation can create voltage. Do not touch connector pins.
3.3.2 Cables for motor
If motor cables are included in Ewellix supply, please read
the motor technical documentation or servoamplifier techni-
cal documentation to find the technical description and con-
nection drawing of supplied cables. Cable reference is writ-
ten on the cable itself or on its packaging.
In case of a problem, please contact your Ewellix local
representative.
