M-235 Linear Actuators
Figure 6: Example for the installation of a linear actuator (here: an M-235)
A suitable mechanical mounting and installation environment are necessary for the
proper use of the actuator.
Make sure that the following conditions have been met:
−
Material and statics of the mounting are designed so that the static and
dynamic forces that occur can be safely and continuously managed.
−
The dimensions of the mounting are adapted to the dimensions of the
actuator (see above figures and dimensions (p. 40)).
−
The intended motions of the pusher and the load must not be inhibited by
the dimensions of the installation environment.
Take into account the following specifications as well when planning the
application and installing the actuator:
−
Dimensions of the selected end piece (see Dimensions (p. 40))
−
Travel range: maximum 20 mm (M-235.
2xx
models) or 50 mm
(M-235.
5xx
models)
−
Space requirements for a kink-free and proper guiding of the connection
cable and additional motor cables
−
Length of the connection cable (approx. 0.5 m) and additional motor
cables (3 m or 10 m)
−
Position of the position display of the actuator when it is to be read during
operation.
If the limit switches of the actuator cannot be reached with the planned
minimum and maximum displacements: Make sure that the actuator and the
load
only move within the planned range
. Suitable measures:
