Mounting the P-587
NOTICE
Warping the P-587 when mounting onto uneven surfaces!
The P-587 could warp if mounted on an uneven surface. Warping reduces the accuracy.
Mount the P-587 onto a flat surface. The recommended flatness of the surface is ≤20 µm.
For applications with large temperature fluctuations:
Mount the P-587 only onto surfaces that have the same or similar thermal expansion
properties as the P-587.
NOTICE
Tensile stress on piezo actuator due to mounting in wrong orientation!
The P-587 is intended for mounting in horizontal orientation (standing on a surface, not
suspended). Mounting in other orientations can cause tensile stress that reduces the preload
and destroys the piezo actuator.
If you want to mount the P-587 in a different orientation to that intended (e.g., vertically
or upside down), contact our customer service department (p. 31).

Requirements
You have read and understood the general notes on installing (p. 15).
The P-587 is
not
connected to the electronics.
You have provided a suitable surface. Refer to "Dimensions" for the position and depth
required for the holes (p. 36).
You have accounted for the space required to route cables according to regulations and
without bending them.
