The linear actuator can overheat during
continuous operation outside of the specified
parameters. Overheating can damage the linear
actuator. Heat produced during operation can
affect your application.
X
Ensure sufficient ventilation and heat dissi-
pation from contact surfaces.
X
Install the linear actuator so that the appli-
cation is not affected by dissipating heat.
X
Pay attention to the permissible values for
nominal and peak current (see manual).
Startup
The drive of the linear actuator is not self
locking. If servo control is switched off, the
linear actuator could move unexpectedly and
the runner or the contact part could collide
with the hard stop or objects in the workspace.
X
If the linear actuator or the axis is aligned
vertically or is tilted (only V275, V277):
Perform an autozero procedure on the
controller for the axis (see manual for the
controller).
X
Take suitable precautionary measures to
prevent unintentional motion before
switching off or rebooting the controller.
X
Move to the travel range limits only with
low velocity and force.
The nominal current as specified in the manual
applies when operating at room temperature.
X
Adjust the nominal current needed for
operating the actuator when the ambient
temperature rises (see user manual).
X
Adapt your application (acceleration,
speed, load) so that the calculated nominal
current is not exceeded. If you have any
questions, contact our customer service
department.
Defective software or incorrect operation of
the software can result in unintentional motion.
X
Do not place any objects in areas where
they can be caught by moving parts.
Travel to the hard stop with maximum force or
at high velocity can cause damage, excessive
heat or considerable wear to the mechanics.
X
Stop the motion immediately if a controller
malfunction occurs.
X
Ensure that the end of the travel range is
approached at low velocity and with low
force.
X
Set the control signal so that the runner
does not stop abruptly or try to continue
motion at the end of the travel range.
X
Determine the maximum velocity for your
application.
Uncontrolled oscillation can damage your appli-
cation or the linear actuator.
X
If oscillation occurs, switch the servo mode
off or stop the linear actuator immediately.
X
Check the servo control parameter settings
(see manual).
Moisture, liquids, and electrically conductive
materials (e.g., metal dust) that penetrate the
linear actuator can damage it.
X
Operate the linear actuator only within
the permissible ambient conditions (see
manual).
Excessively high or wrongly connected opera-
ting voltages can cause damage to the linear
actuator.
X
Use compatible electronics only.
X
Pay attention to the operating voltage
range of the linear actuator (see manual).
X
Pay attention to the correct pin assignment
(see manual).
