Safety notices to observe during installation
Basic safety rules must be followed in order to ensure that the end product can be continually op-
erated 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 us-
ing 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.
•
Be sure to install the drive so that it can always move freely in all operative states.
•
You should never screw the stroke pipe into the drive.
Avoiding a pinching hazard
CAUTION
When designing your product, you should take the drive adjustment movement into
account with passive safety mechanisms and with the appropriate safety notices in
your operating instructions.
•
Installation methods for ensuring passive safety: Install the MEGAMAT XS drive so
that none of the positions where shear and pinch hazards exist are accessible ex-
ternally.
When preparing safety notices for the operator, Make sure that your operating instructions inform
the user of these safety points.
