Furthermore, it applies for the intended use:
The ETH can be used in defined explosive atmospheres (see page 11).
The shortened lubrication intervals applicable for ATEX are mandatory.
In short-stroke applications (stroke shorter than 2.5 times the screw lead), the
specified lubricating runs must be performed as described in the
operating/mounting instructions.
The cylinders must be replaced after 90 % of the attainable service life.
The permitted maximum lateral force on the thrust rod = 0.
No additional thermal effect due to a mechanical connection of the thrust rod
with a workpiece fixture or such, which might lead to a heating of the screw nut.
The product is designed for professional use and is not intended for private use.
Operational safety of the ETH is only guaranteed with intended use.
When installing the ETX ATEX please make sure that the ambient temperature
of 40 °C is not exceeded (enough convection, ...).
The heat input by the drive (motor, gearhead) shall not exceed 135 °C. We
recommend to use a motor or gearhead with temperature class T4 or higher.
Only Ex certified devices (e.g. motors, gearboxes, limit sensor or force sensors)
which adhere to potentially explosive environments are allowed to be mounted on
the ETH ATEX. In the case of ETH ATEX this would be equipment category 2G
(for Area1), explosion area IIB resp. IIC and temperature class T4.
The rule for this is always the lowest ATEX Classification of the EX devices used.
If the customer installs and operates the ETH ATEX with e.g. motor, gearbox,
sensors, etc., the user must ensure that no new sources of ignition are created by
assembling and operating the ETH ATEX with other EX devices. Please observe
the proper use of the individual EX devices.
Depending on the data operating the ETH ATEX and the ambient temperature,
the surface of the electro cylinder can heat up to maximum 80°C due to its inside
losses. Please consider this when dimensioning the drive options (motors resp.
motor-gearhead combination).
1.10 Packaging, storage, transport
First check
Check the packaging for damages.
Remove all items from the packaging.
Do not discard the packaging; it is strongly recommended to use the original
packaging material for return deliveries.
Depending on the storage location, metal surfaces may have a temperature of
0 °C or below. Please provide appropriate worker protection (e.g. protective
gloves).
Please ensure that the consignment does correspond to your order.
Check the product for damages. Do never use a device which seems damaged.
Please read the installation manual carefully before installing or commissioning
the device.
Packaging material
The packaging material is inflammable, if it is disposed off improperly by burning,
lethal fumes may develop.
Transport
Make sure to transport the linear module always in a safe manner and with the aid
of suitable lifting equipment (Means of transport).
