Direct Mount the Linear Thruster
Follow these steps to mount the linear thruster on directly on your machine.
1.
Verify the mounting surface flatness.
The mounting surface must be flat or shimmed flat to the mounting surface of the linear
thruster within 0.127 mm (0.005 in.) to avoid distortion and damage to the actuator
housing.
2.
Install and evenly tighten the steel fasteners so the linear thruster.
Torque the steel fasteners evenly to following values.
Build and Route Cables
Knowledgeable cable routing and careful cable construction improves system electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).
To build and install cables, perform these steps.
1.
Keep wire lengths as short as possible.
2.
Route signal cables (encoder or serial) away from motor and power wiring.
3.
Separate cables by 0.3 m (1 ft) minimum for every 9 m (30 ft) of parallel run.
4.
Ground both ends of the encoder cable shield and twist the signal wire pairs to prevent
electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other equipment.

ATTENTION:
When installed, pinch points with high forces are created that have the potential for
causing physical damage. The risk area surrounding the linear thruster must be enclosed or clearly
marked, including signage in accordance with national and international requirements.
The risk area must be protected by a safety system that stops the equipment if anyone enters the
risk area. Personnel who enter the risk area must be authorized, trained, and qualified for any task
performed inside the risk area.
ATTENTION:
High voltage can be present on the shield of a power cable, if the shield is not
grounded.
Make sure there is a connection to ground for any power cable shield.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
