Installation
Note
Installation should only be conducted by qualified specialized personnel.
5.1 Mechanical installation
It can be mounted in any position.
1. Remove all transport packaging. The material used in the packaging has been
specifically chosen for its recyclability (exception: oil-impregnated paper =
residual waste).
2. Fasten the drive with the mounting screws on the bearing cap/end cap
(mounting interface in accordance with ISO 15552). Tighten the mounting
screws evenly.

When using additional proximity sensors
Note
When linear drives are installed too close to each other, the cylinder magnet can
disturb the proximity sensor on the adjacent linear drive.
1. Fasten sensor bracket to the tie rod.
– Tightening torque 0.6 … 1 Nm.
2. Mount proximity sensor (
è
Proximity sensor operating instructions).
3. Check minimum distances to ferritic and magnetic materials. Place the drive so
that trouble-free operation is possible.
4. Fasten the drive.
When mounting accessory parts on the piston rod
1. Attach accessory parts to the male thread of the piston rod (Fig. 1,
8
).
2. Tighten nut and accessories.
5.2 Electrical installation
Warning
Use for the electrical power supply only PELV circuits in accordance with
IEC/EN 60204-1. Use only power sources which guarantee reliable electrical
isolation of the operating voltage in accordance with IEC/EN 60204-1.

1. Select appropriate electrical connecting cable.
– At least 3-wire with wire end sleeves, outside diameter 6.5 … 8 mm.
– Conductor cross-section: 0.75 … 1.5 mm²
Note
Recommendation: Use the NHSB connecting cable with protective conduit
(

Connecting cable mounting in
structions.
2. Loosen the mounting screws ( Fig. 5,

) and carefully remove the housing.
3. If present, loosen the cable connector of the connecting cable.
4. Disconnect the pre-assembled plug at the electrical connection (2 screws)
5. Guide the electrical connecting cable through the passage in the housing

6. Fasten the wired plug to the electrical connection.
– 2 screws, tightening torque 0.5 Nm ±10 %.
7. Mount the housing onto the drive. Make sure that the seal (O-ring) is seated
correctly.
– Tightening torque of the mounting screws: 2.7 Nm ±10 %.
8. Connect the earth terminal (Fig. 1,
3
) to the earth potential with low
impedance (short cable with large cross-section).

1. Prepare pneumatic connection.
– Check the necessity of non-return valves. They prevent the moveable mass
from sliding down if there is a drop in pressure when the product is in a
vertical or sloping mounting position.
– Use outside-calibrated pneumatic lines with outside diameter of 8 mm
(e.g. plastic tubing PUN-8x1,25 from Festo).
– Cut tubing ends at right angles and without burrs. This avoids damage to
internal O-rings.
2. Connect the linear drive to the compressed air supply ports with hoses
(
è
– Pay attention to the desired direction of movement of the piston rod.
– Plug the hose into the push-in fitting up to the stop.
– Check that the hose is securely held by pulling gently on it

Commissioning
Note
Commissioning should only be conducted by qualified personnel.
Requirements
– The drive is fully mounted and connected.
Commissioning the drive
1. Check operating conditions and limit values (
è
Technical data).
2. Provide power supply (Operating medium, Operating voltage).
3. Check correct function at first with a low travel speed.
