Installation
We recommended the use of an overhead lift for removing the linear thruster
from its shipping container. For linear thrusters of frame 50 and larger use the
eye bolts supplied.
Planning Your Installation
See the Kinetix Linear Motion Specifications
, for the
specifications and the products that are referenced in this section.
When planning your installation consider the following.
• In your application design, include unobstructed access to the linear
thrusters shipping and handling setscrew.
• Observed maximum loading limits to operate this product in
compliance with the relevant safety regulations.
• If you are mounting your linear thruster in a vertical or sloped position,
include safety measures that control the work load if the power fails.
• Corrosive environments reduce the service life of linear thrusters.
• Factory-manufactured feedback and power cables are available in
standard cable lengths. They provide environmental seal and shield
termination. Contact your Allen-Bradley® sales office or refer to the
Kinetix Motion Accessories Specifications, publication
,
for more information.
General safety standards and requirements include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• UL 1740 Safety of Robots and Robotic Equipment
• ANSI/RIA R15.06, Industrial Robots and Robot Systems Safety
Requirements - Teaching Multiple Robots
• ANSI/NFPA 79, Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery
• CSA/CAN Z434, Industrial Robots and Robot Systems- General
Safety Requirements
• EN60204-1, Safety of Machinery. Electrical Equipment of Machines
ATTENTION:
Be sure that the load ratings of the lifting device, slings, hooks,
and shackles have a lifting capacity rated equal to or greater than the load.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury and equipment damage. For
your system-specific weight, refer to the system nameplate label or weights
on the packing slip.
ATTENTION:
Uncontrolled masses in motion can injure or damage to
property. If there is a power failure, the working mass drops down in vertical
or incline applications.
Check whether extra external safety measures are required to prevent
damage in the event of a power failure.
