Attach Motor Cables
Use this procedure to attach the power and feedback cables after the linear
thruster is mounted.
1. Carefully align each cable connector with the respective linear thruster
connector as shown in the diagram.
2. Fully seat the feedback connector and the power/brake connector.
• Hand tighten the collar of a threaded DIN (M4) connector six turns.
• Hand tighten the collar of a SpeedTec (M7) connector one-quarter
turn.
ATTENTION:
Keyed connectors must be properly aligned and hand-
tightened the recommended number of turns.
The connector is not aligned if the need for excessive force is necessary to
seat the connector. For example, the need to use tools to fully seat
connectors. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in
damage to equipment.
ATTENTION:
When installing a threaded DIN cable with a M4 designation,
an O-ring must be installed in the groove that is immediately next to the
body of the linear thruster connector. This O-ring dampens the effects of
vibration at the cable-to-linear thruster connection.
Cables requiring O-rings include 2090-XXNFMF-Sxx (standard, non-flex)
feedback cables
ATTENTION:
When you install cables with a SpeedTec DIN connector with
M7 designation, remove the O-ring.
ATTENTION:
Make sure cables are installed and restrained to prevent
uneven tension or flexing at the cable connectors. Excessive and uneven
lateral force at the cable connectors can result in the environmental seal on
the connector can open and close as the cable flexes.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the
linear thruster motor and its components.
