5 Installation
5.1 General Notes on Installation
NOTICE
Increased friction due to lateral forces on the moving part!
Lateral forces that act on the moving part and the ball tip of the linear drive increase the
friction on the internal drive components. Increased friction impairs the motion of the moving
part and increases the wear of the drive components.

Avoid lateral forces on the moving part and on the ball tip of the N-412.

Install the N-412 so that the moving part is aligned vertically to the contact surface of the
moving part of the mechanical mounting.
NOTICE
Damage from overtightening the mounting nut!
Overtightening the mounting nut can damage the linear drive.

Hand-tighten the mounting nut.
NOTICE
Damage from opening the N-412!
Opening the base body causes damage to the N-412.

Loosen screws only when instructed in this manual.

Do not open the N-412.
NOTICE
Heating up of the N-412 during operation!
During operation, the N-412 emits up to 15 watts of heat, which can interfere with your
application.

Install the N-412 so that the application is not impaired by the emitted heat.

Ensure sufficient ventilation at the place of installation.

Pay attention to the operating conditions (duty cycle, ambient temperature), see
“Lifetime” (p. 22).
NOTICE
