Safety Information
Intended Use
The linear actuator is a laboratory device as
defined by DIN EN 610101. It is intended for
indoor use and use in an environment that is
free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the linear actu-
ator is intended for singleaxis positioning and
adjusting of loads at various velocities and with
defined forces. The linear actuator is intended
for applications in automation or handling
technology.
The linear actuator is not intended for applica-
tions in areas where failure would be a consi-
derable risk for people or the environment. For
further information on the ambient conditions,
see „Ambient Conditions and Classifications“ in
the manual.
The intended use of the linear actuator is
only possible when completely installed and
connected, and in conjunction with a suitable
controller. The linear actuator may only be
installed, operated, maintained, and cleaned
by authorized and appropriately qualified
personnel.
Installation
The linear actuator contains permanent
magnets. Their magnetic fields can disturb or
damage sensitive devices and objects (e.g.,
heart pacemakers, EC cards, magnetic storage
devices). Loose magnetizable objects (e.g., iron,
steel) could be attracted and cause material
damage. The magnetic fields are also effective
when the linear actuator is not connected or
switched off.
X
Make sure that people with heart pace
makers and / or electronic implants do not
have access to the linear actuator.
X
Remove loose magnetizable objects and
sensitive objects from the area where the
linear actuator is to be installed.
X
Make sure that the danger zone is marked
and the necessary precautions have been
taken.
The linear actuators can generate high forces
at high velocities. Risk of minor injuries from
cutting or crushing between the runner or the
contact part of the linear actuator and a fixed
part or obstacle.
X
Use safeguards to protect limbs in areas
where they could be caught by moving
parts.
X
Maintain safety distances according to DIN
EN ISO 13857.
X
If possible, use contact parts with a suffi-
ciently dimensioned contact surface. The
pressure on the contact surface at maxi-
mum force of the linear actuator should not
exceed 50 N/cm².
Mechanical forces can damage or misalign the
linear actuator.
X
Keep the linear actuator only in its housing.
X
Avoid shocks and drops.
X
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
forces and torques (see manual).
X
Avoid lateral forces on the runner.
X
Transport the linear actuator only in the
original packaging and with the safeguard
attached.
Incorrectly fitted screws and locating pins can
cause damage.
X
Pay attention to the maximum tightening
torque (see manual).
X
Do not allow screw heads to protrude.
X
Select the screw length according to the
depth of the mounting holes.
Unsuitable mounting could warp the linear
actuator and reduce the accuracy.
X
Mount the linear actuator on a level surface
with similar thermal expansion properties
(see manual for recommended flatness).
Dirt, oil, lubricant, and condensation make the
drive of the linear actuator inoperable.
X
Keep the linear actuator free of dirt, lubri-
cants, and condensation.
Collisions can damage the linear actuator, the
load to be moved, and the surroundings.
X
Make sure that the runner cannot collide
with the load or the surroundings within
the motion range of the linear actuator.
X
Do not place any objects in areas where
they can be caught by moving parts.
