side to make connection with your structure. Fully extend the Electric Cylinder to make sure the load is aligned
with the translating tube.
8. All Electric Cylinders are to be mounted with S.A.E. Grade 8 bolts or equivalent.
9. Torque the mounting bolts in a systematic pattern to avoid damage to the actuator.
10. Shaft and coupling guards are the responsibility of the user.
11. Optional limit switches, which may be furnished with the Electric Cylinder, are NOT pre-set. They require field
adjustment before use.

Electric Cylinder
1. Electric Cylinders are lubricated before leaving the factory.
2. Do not operate Electric Cylinders without lubrication.
3. For normal operation, Electric Cylinders should be greased at least once per month. Under extended use,
grease twice monthly or as conditions dictate. Grease with Mobil XHP 461 through the fittings on the Housing
(1) and on the protection tube (21). This is a No. 1 Consistency Grease. It is the responsibility of the user to
maintain sufficient lubrication to the electric Cylinder.
4. The products listed below are recommended by the lubricant manufacturers to meet the requirements for
normal operation. The listing of brand names is solely for the convenience of users of Joyce equipment and

3. Synthetic Lubricants are recommended for severe service applications. These lubricants offer more stable
viscosity and temperature properties. They have a longer service life and may require less frequent lubrication
changes. They also decrease friction and wear on the gear reducer and may increase the life of the gear
reducer.
4. This synthetic lubrication is also compatible with nitrile seal material as well as with alloy bronze gear material.
