Chapter 3
3.1.4 Fitting to a Threaded Mount
If fitted, remove the existing actuators from the mount, then proceed as follows:
1) Set the required actuator cable exit position - see Section 3.1.2.
2) Back off the locking ring until it is against the mounting barrel. Take care to avoid
cross threading the ring.
3) Insert the threaded shaft into the actuator mounting hole, and screw in as
required. A minimum of 3mm thread engagement is recommended.
4) Unscrew until the required orientation of the actuator housing is achieved.
5) Tighten the locking ring against the mount. Take care to avoid cross threading the
ring.
6) Repeat items (1) to (5) for the remaining actuator.

Caution
Only fit an actuator with the same travel as the stage. Fitting actuators
with a longer travel will cause excessive axial preload. Do not exceed the
preload values specified in Chapter 5.
When adjusting the locking ring at items (2) and (5), take care to avoid
damaging the threads by cross threading the ring.
Caution
During item (3), take care to ensure that the cable does not become
damaged or tangled during rotation of the actuator.
