Function

The pneumatic ports [4] are pressurised alternately, causing the inner sash in the
housing to swivel back and forth. The swivel motion is transmitted to the drive
shaft [1]. The drive shaft serves as an interface and connecting element for the
extension elements push-on flange FWSR and push-on flange DARF. The square
[2] serves as a connecting element for the extension elements sensors SRBS, stop
kit KSM and stop kit DADP.

Assembly

1. Mount the product on the threads [3].
2. Push the payload onto the drive shaft and fasten it.

7

Installation

Use one-way flow control valves to set the swivel speed.

Screw the one-way flow control valves into the pneumatic ports [4].

8

Commissioning

For use with reduced particle emission:
Clean the product with a clean, soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning agents.
1. Close the one-way flow control valves completely.
2. Unscrew the one-way flow control valves one turn.
3. Pressurise the product slowly.
4. Start a test run.
5. Take the following into account in the test run:

The swivel range

The swivel speed

6. Make changes only when stationary.
7. Unscrew the one-way flow control valves until the required swivel speed

is reached. Do not fall below the minimum permissible swivel time

NOTICE

Dynamic characteristic values that are too high can lead to the destruction of
the product, e.g. internal vanes.
• Observe the mass moment of inertia and the maximum permissible swivel

frequency.

8. Terminate the test run.

9

Cleaning

Clean the product with a clean, soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning agents.
For use with reduced particle emission:

Remove abraded particles and soil from the product:

Prior to initial commissioning

Regularly during operation

Fault clearance

Fault description

Cause

Remedy

Uneven movement

The flow control valves are
incorrectly adjusted.

Check the exhaust air flow con-
trol

Hard impacts at the end posi-
tion

Excessive residual energy

Select a lower rotational
speed.

Use external shock
absorbers.

Only drive against the
residual air cushion on the
exhaust air side.

Select a smaller payload
mass.

The output shaft does not
remain in the end position.
