Installation
6.1 Safety notices to observe during installation
Basic safety rules must be followed in order to ensure that the end product can be continually oper-
ated in a safe manner. These rules must be observed while using the end product and while in-
stalling the drive.
6.1.1 Ensuring operational reliability during installation
The safety and reliability of the end product containing the DewertOkin drive can be ensured by
using the proper construction methods described below.
Avoiding fatigue fractures
CAUTION
Drives that are incorrectly installed can undergo fatigue fractures which then create a
risk of injury.

Install the drive in the end product so that it is properly aligned. This will help pre-
vent shear stress.

Do not position the drive at a slanted angle when installing it in the end product. A
slanted angle between the intended direction of movement of the end product and
the drive's direction will create shear stress and could lead to a fatigue fracture.
Avoiding a pinching hazard
CAUTION
When designing your product, you should take the drive adjustment movement into ac-
count with passive safety mechanisms and with the appropriate safety notices in your
operating instructions.

Installation methods for ensuring passive safety: Make sure that you install the
DUOMAT 9 so that none of the positions where shear and pinch hazards exist are
accessible externally.
When preparing safety notices for the operator, make sure that your operating instructions inform
the user of these safety points.
