Finally, install and set the limit switches for condition monitoring. To this end, change
the control to the different respective switching statuses and choose the screw-in depth
such that the one monitoring diode lights up in sequence with the other.
The switch close to the air connection must be activated in the clamped condition, the
switch furthest away from the air connection must activated when open. Secure with
the counter nut. Check the correct setting.
Guide values for screw-in depth: PClamp 63: 19 mm, PClamp 80: 22 mm, PClamp 125: 27 mm.
Do not screw in the limit switch significantly deeper; stop when resistance is felt, continuing
to screw the component in may result in defects being caused.
On types with ventilation connection: screw in a corresponding pneumatic connection:
Size 63 M5, Sizes 80 and 125: G1/8, attach connection to air hose; position the hose so
that it ends at a clean and dry place. This will prevent dirt, moisture and foreign bodies
from being sucked in.
14. Commisioning
Install the control valve close to the clamping element, connect with appropriate hose.
Important! Connections with high flow resistances (long, thin, tight radii, bends) may
affect response times.
Once it has been installed properly, check the PClamp for operational readiness.
Check ease of movement by manually moving the linear unit.
The clamping process must be checked; it may no longer be possible to manually move
the round rod.
All pneumatic connections must be checked for leaks after pressure has been applied to
the PClamp.
Take precautions for the event that the retaining forces are insufficient due to errors.
Throttle movement and set stop buffers to a high load.
Check that all fastening bolts have been tightened using the specified tightening torque.
Owing to the paired fits configured for the PClamp and the round rod at the factory,
readjustments are not required after proper installation.
Start a test run while observing the applicable regulations and execute 500 test cycles.
B10d values: PClamp, all types
2,000,000 cycles
