Mechanical Dangers
NOTICE
External push or pull forces!
External push or pull forces acting on the moving part (p. 10) in the direction of motion can
cause damage to the P-603.
The maximum permissible forces depend on the model:
P-603.1xx:
Do
not
exceed the
maximum push force of 40 N
on the moving part.
Do
not
exceed the
maximum pull force of 20 N
on the moving part.
P-603.3xx:
Do
not
exceed the
maximum push force of 35 N
on the moving part.
Do
not
exceed the
maximum pull force of 13 N
on the moving part.
P-603.5xx:
Do
not
exceed the
maximum push force of 30 N
on the moving part.
Do
not
exceed the
maximum pull force of 10 N
on the moving part.
In dynamic operation, take special care not to exceed the maximum push/pull forces.
NOTICE
Mechanical overload due to high torques!
High torques can damage the P-603 and lead to loss in accuracy.
When mounting the P-603 onto a surface:
Do
not
exceed a torque of
0.7 Nm
for the mounting holes in the mounting interface
(p. 10).
When fixing a load to the P-603:
Do
not
exceed a torque of
0.5 Nm
for the mounting holes in the moving part (p. 10).
NOTICE
Uncontrolled oscillation!
Oscillations can cause irreparable damage to the P-603. Oscillations are indicated by a
humming and can result from the following causes:
The load and/or dynamics of operation differ too much from the calibration settings.
The P-603 is operated near to its resonant frequency.
If you notice oscillations, stop the P-603 immediately.
