–
Observe the local regulations for the environmentally-friendly disposal of electronic components.
–
Take into account the material specifications (
è
–
Use the product in its original status, without any unauthorised modifications.
–
Take into consideration the ambient conditions at the location of use.
Corrosive elements in the environment (e.g. ozone) will reduce the service life of the product.
–
Compare the limit values specified in these operating instructions with your actual application
(e.g. pressures, forces, torques, temperatures, masses, speeds).
Operation of the product in compliance with the relevant safety regulations depends on adher-
ence to the load limits.
–
Take the tolerance of the tightening torques into account. Unless otherwise specified, the toler-
ance is ±20%.
–
Make sure there is a supply of correctly prepared compressed air (

Installation

Mechanical installation
–
Avoid pressing or suctioning the sealing band.
Damage to the sealing band reduces operating reliability. Jerky movement of the unpressurised
slide can cause negative pressure that sucks the sealing band into the piston chamber.
–
Leave all screws and threaded bolts in their original states, unless you are requested to modify
them in these instructions.
–
Avoid damaging or contaminating the belt system.
Damage reduces safety and the lifecycle of the DGC-HD.
6.1.1
Installing the product
NOTICE!
Tensile loads that are too heavy may cause the screws in the cover to be pulled out.
•
Mount the DGC-HD with profile mountings or slot nuts (
è
Tab. 1 ). It is not possible to mount on
the connection cover/end cap.
–
Ensure an installation without distortions and bends (evenness of the bearing surface ≤ 0.05 %
of the stroke length; max. 0.5 mm). For gantry applications, attention must also be paid to parallel
alignment when aligning the axes. For additional information, please contact your local Festo Ser-
vice.
–
Position the DGC-HD in such a way that its operating elements are accessible.
–
Observe the required support spacing. The diagrams (
è
13 Characteristic curves) give the sup-
port spacing that results dependent on the mounting position and payload. Exceeding the spe-
cified minimum distance requires a functional test in each individual case.
NOTICE!
Unfavourable mounting variants can damage the DGC-HD.
•
Ensure that the mounting components are outside the travel range of the slide.
1. Mount the DGC-HD.
