Safety

2.1

Safety instructions

Observe labelling on the product.

Prior to assembly, installation and maintenance work: Switch off power sup-
ply, ensure that it is off and secure it against being switched back on.

Store the product in a cool, dry, UV-protected and corrosion-protected envir-
onment. Ensure that storage times are kept to a minimum.

Observe tightening torques. Unless otherwise specified, the tolerance
is ± 20 %. 

2.2

Intended Use

The electric cylinder unit EPCS-BS is intended for linear movement of payloads or
as a drive when external guides are used between two end positions.

Scope of Delivery

The following components are included in the scope of delivery:

Electric cylinder unit EPCS-BS

4.2

Function

The electric cylinder unit converts the rotary motion of the mounted motor into a
linear motion of the non-rotating piston rod. The lead screw converts the torque of
the motor into a feed force. The linear movement of the piston rod is guided by
the guide in the guide ring.

Assembly

WARNING!

Risk of injury due to unexpected movement of components.

The drive can move freely in the voltage-free state. This can cause unexpected
movements of the connected mechanics and crush parts of the body.

Bring moving parts of the mechanical system into a safe position.

Installation

WARNING!

Risk of injury due to electric shock.

For the electrical power supply with extra-low voltages, use only SELV circuits
that ensure a reliable separation from the mains network.

Observe IEC 60204-1/EN 60204-1.
