General Notes on Installation
NOTICE
Cable break!
A cable break leads to failure of the linear actuator.
Install the linear actuator so that the cable is not bent too strongly or crushed.
NOTICE
Increased friction!
Lateral forces that act on the pusher of the linear actuator increase the friction of the
internal drive components. Increased friction impairs the motion of the pusher and
increases wear on the drive components.
Avoid lateral forces on the tip and on the pusher of the L-220.
NOTICE
Heating up of the L-220 during operation!
The heat produced during operation of the L-220 can affect your application.
Install the L-220 so that the application is not impaired by the dissipated heat.
INFORMATION
Models with DC gear motors are equipped with integrated signal drivers for cable lengths
≤
10m between the linear actuator and the motor controller
5.2
Providing a Suitable Mechanical Mounting and Installation
Environment
A suitable mechanical mounting and installation environment are necessary for the proper use
of the actuator.
Make sure that the following conditions have been met:
−
Material and statics of the mounting are designed so that the static and dynamic
forces that occur can be safely and continuously managed.
