Intended Use
The P-88x/P-08x is intended to be used in an environment which is free of dirt, oil, and
lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the P-88x/P-08x is intended for integration into a mechanical
system and for the following applications:
Positioning of loads
Dynamic positioning
Vibration damping
Force generation
The operator is responsible for a standards-compliant integration of the P-88x/P-08x into the
overall system.
The motion of the P-88x/P-08x takes place on one axis. When mounting the actuator without
applying a preload, pay attention to the maximum tensile stress capacity (p. 51).
For operation of the P-88x/P-08x, suitable electronics that provide the required operating
voltages are required. The electronics are not included in the scope of delivery of the
P-88x/P-08x. We recommend the use of suitable electronics (p. 12) from PI.
