M-232 Linear Actuator
Figure 4: Example for the installation of a linear actuator (here: an M-235)
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.
−
The dimensions of the mounting have been adjusted to the dimensions of
the actuator (see above figures and dimensions (p. 42)), especially to the
following specifications:
- Diameter of the mounting shaft
- Slant and locating surface if a positive connection is planned
- Position of the circumferential groove if a fixation with engaging
mounting screws is planned
−
The intended motions of the pusher and the load must not be inhibited by
the dimensions of the installation environment.
Take into account the following specifications when planning the application
and installing the actuator:
−
Travel range: max. 17 mm
−
Space requirements for a kink-free and proper guiding of the connection
cable and motor cable if necessary
−
Length of the connection cable (approx. 0.5 m) and additional motor
cables (3 m or 10 m)
