Compact Linear Actuator - LCB
14
192-510014 N06 April 2013
The sliding carriages of the two linear actuators must stand on the same position
P (Recommendation: Push both actuators to the same stop).
Place half-coupling for small shaft diameter on the free shaft ends with distance A
und tighten clamping screw with torque MA. Insert plastic part.
Slide the two other coupling halves on to the connection shaft.
Position connection shaft between the free shaft ends and push the respective
coupling halves towards each other. Caution! Do not push to block - coupling
package must have total length LK.
Tighten clamping screws on both coupling halves on the connection shaft with
torque MA.

Setting the end limits
The software end limits (programmable end limits) can be used to define the
maximum travel path in the positive and negative direction. The machine zero
initiator (home switch) must always be within the software end limits. The switch
must be mounted so that the sliding carriage can under no circumstances travel
beyond (the switch should ideally be mounted in proximity of the drive station or the
deflection station. Switching distance 2 - 4 mm) if needs be an additional external
buffer must be fitted.
Caution
The software end limits are not preset. For this reason, they must be defined and entered
into the control system before the unit is placed in service.
Note
Recommendation: The actual zero point of your controller should be the same as the
machine zero point.
2.2.4.
Attachment of Motor or Gearbox
If you ordered the LCB together with a coupling kit, the coupling housing with the
half-coupling is already mounted on the drive shaft of the linear actuator. In this
case please proceed with step 2, if not start with step 1.
(1) If the coupling housing and the half-coupling are not pre-assembled,
please proceed as follows:
Place half-coupling for small shaft diameter on the drive shaft (with distance AL to
LCB) and tighten clamping screw with torque MA.
Insert plastic part.
Mount coupling housing
(2) Coupling housing and half coupling are pre-assembled:
Place the other half-coupling on the gear- or motor shaft and fix with distance AK
to the flange surface of the drive unit with torque MA.
Fix gearbox and motor to the coupling housing (the gearbox shaft must be exactly
centered with respect to the drive shaft of the linear actuator!
There should be only an air gap of about 0.5 - 1 mm between the half-coupling on
the gearbox- or motor shaft and the other half-coupling.
