NOTICE!
The unit may only be operated if the machine in which the unit is installed
complies with the relevant provisions of the Machinery Directive 2006-42-EC.
CAUTION!
Before carrying out assembly, alteration, maintenance or adjustment, remove the
power supply and carry out the necessary work outside the danger zone.
The MEK-PM Energy Coupling series has been designed to operate pneumatic and / or electrical
equipment. The module is intended for installation in a machine. The requirements of the applicable
instructions must be considered and adhered to. The unit may only be used in the context of its technical
specifications.
Everyone who is responsible for assembly, commissioning and maintenance must read and
understand the complete operating instructions. Improper use, which affects the function und
operational safety of the MEK Energy Coupling, is prohibited.
The upper assembly of the MEK is mounted on the upper assembly of the MGW or SWS, the lower
assembly of the MEK corresponding to the lower assembly. The mechanical connection of two
components by means of a change system is extended by the MEK, now the pneumatic and electrical
lines are coupled or decoupled parallel. Time-intensive disconnection of cables and hoses is no longer
necessary.
Pneumatic and electrical connectors are integrated in both halves, which are specially designed for
frequent plug connections and low joining forces. The MEK are graded in sizes according to the GRIP
change systems. On the MEK-PM variant, the pneumatic feedthroughs are radially outgoing, equipped
with metric threaded connections.
This symbol indicates possible hazards to persons or the MEK-
PM Energy Coupling.
Use this unit only in dry and splash-proof environments at room temperature as well as within the
application parameters defined in the technical specifications. If this is not the case, warranty
cannot be accepted. Exceptions are units designed especially for the respective conditions.
