M-230 Linear Actuators
If you pass the M-230 on to other users, also turn over this user manual as
well as other relevant information provided by the manufacturer.
Only use the device on the basis of the complete user manual. Missing
information due to an incomplete user manual can result in minor injury and
property damage.
Only install and operate the M-230 after having read and understood this user
manual.
Personnel qualification
The M-230 may only be installed, started up, operated, maintained and cleaned by
authorized and appropriately qualified personnel.
2.2.2 Safety Measures during Installation
A cable break leads to a failure of the linear actuator.
Install the linear actuator so that the cable is not bent or squeezed too
severely during operation.
Lateral forces that affect the pusher of the linear actuator increase the friction on 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 M-230.
The motion of the pusher can be hindered by a mounting nut that has been tightened
too strongly. This reduces the positioning accuracy.
Tighten the mounting nut to a maximum torque of 1.7 Nm.
The heat produced during operation of the M-230 can affect your application.
Install the M-230 so that your application is not affected by the dissipating
heat.
