Mounting position
The product described in this document can be operated in vertical and horizontal
mounting position. The mounting position pointing downward is not permitted. For
horizontal mounting position, the fail safe unit requires reinforcement to relieve the
flange connection to the valve.
Figure 6: Reinforcement for horizontal mounting position (example)
The reinforcement is made at both threads provided for transport. For FQMEx
05.1/07.1 = 5/8” UNC thread (M10 metric thread); for FQMEx 10.1/12.1 = 1/2” UNC
thread (M12 metric thread).
We recommend applying liquid thread sealing material to the screws to avoid contact
corrosion in the thread.
To compensate for vibration, we recommend using additional all-metal dampers as
available with Stop-Choc ®.
Support by AUMA
AUMA offers an own support. The support is fixed at the output drive flange using
suitable fastening clamps. It includes all-metal dampers to compensate for vibration.
