Thermal Dangers

For models P-603 and P-604 only: 

The surface of the piezo actuator and its 

surroundings can heat up during operation. 

Touching the piezo actuator and its surrounding 

parts can result in minor injuries from burning.

 

X

Make sure that the hot piezo actuator and 

the surrounding parts cannot be touched.

All models:  

The heat produced during operation of the 

piezo actuator can affect your application.

 

X

Install the piezo actuator so that the appli-

cation is not impaired by dissipating heat.

Connecting the Piezo Actuator to the 

Protective Earth Conductor

The piezo actuator does not have a separate 

protective earth connector. For this reason, the 

risk of electric shock must be prevented in one 

of the following ways:

Installing the piezo actuator on an electri-

cally conductive surface connected to a 

protective earth conductor

Connecting the piezo actuator to a pro-

tective earth conductor via its mounting 

interfaces (holes)

Electrical insulation of the piezo actuator 

according to protection class II

Connecting the piezo actuator to the protec­

tive earth conductor

 

X

Pay attention to the applicable standards 

for connecting the protective earth con-

ductor.

 

X

Use electrically conductive mounting mate-

rial (e.g., screws or glue)

Mounting the Piezo Actuator

Refer to the user manual for the exact moun-

ting type of your model.

Screwing the piezo actuator on (depends on 

model)
Tools and accessories

Electrically conductive surface

Electrically conductive screws

Screwdriver or wrench

Requirements

Piezo actuators with stranded wires: The 

piezo actuator is discharged and short- 

circuited.

The surface has mounting holes for fixing 

the piezo actuator.

The surface is connected to a protective 

earth conductor with a cross section of 

≥0.75 mm².

The surface flatness meets the require-

ments (refer to user manual). 

Screwing the piezo actuator on

1.  Align the piezo actuator on the mounting 

surface so that the corresponding mounting 

holes in the piezo actuator and in the sur-

face are in line.

2.  Tighten the piezo actuator with the moun-

ting hardware (for information on maxi-

mum torque, refer to the user manual). 

3.  Check that the piezo actuator is fixed firmly 

to the mounting surface.

Gluing the piezo actuator on (depends on 

model)

Models intended for gluing have locating holes 

in the base body to accommodate dowel pins.

Tools and accessories

Electrically conductive surface

Electrically conductive dowel pins of suitab-

le size and length (refer to user manual)

Electrically conductive adhesive

Requirements

Models with stranded wires: The piezo 

actuator is discharged and short-circuited.

The glued surfaces were prepared accor-

ding to the specifications of the adhesive 

manufacturer.

You have read and understood the user 

information from the manufacturer of the 

adhesive.

The surface has conductive mounting holes 

for the dowel pins to mount the piezo 

actuator.

The surface is connected to a protective 

earth conductor with a cross section of 

≥0.75 mm².

The surface flatness meets the require-

ments (refer to user manual).
