4.3 Operation environment
Operation temperature range is between -20 to +70° Celcius. Protection degree against the ingress of
water and particles is IP65.
4.4 General mounting guidelines
The unit can be mounted in any direction but do not mount the actuator so that the cover tube is
subjected to any bending or twisting forces.
Mount actuator so that the the maximum permissible load and load torques for the input shaft or the
extension tube never are exceeded during stand still or operation. See table T6.1.1 for load and load
torque data for each model.
Make sure to install the actuator so that the extension tube never runs in to the mechanical end stops.
The distance between the mechanical end stops (Send) are the ordering stroke (Smax) plus 2.5 (± 0.5)
mm of extra travel in both ends (Safe).
Warning!
Do not hold the extension tube while the unit is energized.
Warning!
The extension tube is not self holding - in a vertical application a brake is required to
hold the load at stand still. If it is removed the extension tube may start moving with the possible
risk of injury to people or damage to the equipment.
Warning!
Never run in to the mechanical ends of the unit.
