4.8 Mounting of sensor brackets
The bracket can be installed over the left or
right corner of the cover tube surface under
which the sensor magnet travels. The correct
cover tube surface is marked with a magnet
sign sticker (1). The bracket (2) is secured
using the worm drive clamp (3) that are put
around the cover tube and the bracket. Make
sure the clamp tigthening screw is correctly
positioned in the slot of the bracket.
4.9 Mounting of sensors in the sensor brackets
The sensor is inserted in the slot of the sensor bracket
and locked in to position by the clamp screw (1).
If the sensor is mounted in the immediate
vicinity of magnetisable components, the
switching characteristics of the sensor may change.
4.10 Motor installation on inline style actuators without RediMount system
The motor installation on a PC-Series actuator
without a RediMount flange require either a
suitable bell house type of flange and a coupling
or a gearbox to be mounted between the motor
and the actuator. The flange dimensions for each
actuator size can be found in the table bellow.
Make sure that the maximum permissible drive
shaft force and torque are not exceeded (see
table T6.1.1.) at any time during stand still or
operation.
4.11 Motor installation on actuators with RediMount system
The motor installation on a PC-Series actuator with a RediMount flange require a suitable motor for the
RediMount flange type the actuator in question is equipped with. Follow point 4.11.1 or 4.11.2 during
installation depending on if the actuator are of inline or parallel style. Make sure that the maximum
permissible drive shaft force and torque are not exceeded (see table T6.1.1.) at any time during stand still
or operation. For removal of a motor see point 4.11.3.
