Mounting the P-63x
NOTICE
Warping the P-63x when mounting onto uneven surfaces!
Fixing the P-63x onto an uneven surface can warp the P-63x. Warping reduces the accuracy.
Fix the P-63x onto a flat surface. The recommended flatness of the surface is ≤20 µm.
For applications with large temperature fluctuations:
Only fix the P-63x onto surfaces that have the same or similar thermal expansion
properties as the P-63x (e.g., surfaces made of aluminum).
NOTICE
Tensile stress on piezo actuator due to mounting in wrong orientation!
The P-63x is intended for mounting in horizontal orientation (standing on a surface, not
suspended). Mounting in other orientations can cause tensile stress that reduces the preload
and destroys the piezo actuator.
If you want to mount the P-63x in a different orientation to that intended (e.g., vertically or
upside down), contact our customer service department (p. 31).
