5 Installation
P-88x.x5 Piezo Actuator PZ266E Version: 1.1.0 19
Figure 8: Mechanical or thermal loads electrically charge the piezo actuator. Mount only when short-
circuited.
5.2 Mounting the P-88x.x5
P-88x.x5 piezo actuators are glued to metal or ceramic surfaces.
Requirements

You have read and understood the general notes on installation (p. 15).

The P-88x.x5 is discharged (p. 30) and short-circuited (p. 31).

You have read and understood the user information of the manufacturer of the
adhesive.

The surface, onto which the piezo actuator is to be glued, has two holes (Ø ≥1.5 mm)
for feeding the stranded wires of the piezo actuator through. See "Dimensions" (p. 42)
for the gap between the stranded wires.
Tools and accessories

Level surface that is dry, dust-free, and grease-free

Suitable adhesive (e.g., cold-hardening epoxy resin adhesive)
Mounting the P-88x.x5
1. Glue the piezo actuator to the surface:
− Apply the thinnest possible layer of adhesive and feed the stranded wires of the
piezo actuator through the holes in the surface so that the stranded wires do not go
between the actuator and the surface.
−
During the hardening process, maintain the operating temperature range (p. 41)
specified for the piezo actuator.
−
Pay attention to the temperature expansion coefficients of the materials involved.
2. Press the piezo actuator until the adhesive has hardened.
