Avoiding an over-extension of the stroke pipe (when mounted unattached)
CAUTION
There must be a fixed mechanical end stop built into the end product for MEGAMAT XS
drive models where the stroke pipe is not attached to the spindle screw. If no fixed me-
chanical end stop exists, the stroke pipe can over-extend. This can cause malfunctions,
personal injury, and damage to the drive system.
Avoiding an overrun of the stop point with the end product
Your end product should contain mechanical end stops. These will limit the drive movement and
significantly increase operational safety. DewertOkin recommends that you build such mechanical
end stops into your end product.
If, for technical or cost reasons, you choose not to use end stops, then we strongly recommend the
use of an additional safety limit switch whenever the DewertOkin drive is being used for at-risk
functions. A safety limit switch will protect the drive from a critical failure and overrun in the event
that the top end switch malfunctions.
The safety end switch shuts the drive down as soon as the normal end switch is passed over.
The safety end switch is integrated directly into the drive and does not require any additional in-
stallation. The drive may take up an extra 23 mm when installed with the safety limit switch.

Installation procedure
NOTICE
Mount the drive in its unloaded position within your end product.
The drive must either be completely retracted or extended at its end position.
Damage to the drive can
only
be avoided if the drive is installed in its unloaded position. This
ensures safe installation.
