NOTICE
Destruction of the piezo actuators by continuously high voltage!
The constant application of high voltage to piezo actuators can lead to leakage currents and
flashovers that destroy the ceramic.
If the P-736.ZRx is not used, but the controller is to remain switched on to ensure temperature
stability:
Set the piezo voltage to 0 V on the controller.
NOTICE
Unsuitable cables!
Unsuitable cables can damage the controller.
Only use cables from PI for connecting the P-736.ZRx to the controller.
INFORMATION
Extended cables can affect the performance of the P-736.ZRx.
Do
not
use cable extensions. If you need longer cables, contact our customer service
department (p. 19).
Mechanical dangers
NOTICE
Mechanical overload due to high torque and high loads!
High torque and high loads can overload the motion platform of the P-736.ZRx. Mechanical
overload can cause damage to the piezo actuators, sensors, and flexures of the P-736.ZRx and
lead to loss in accuracy.
Only hold the P-736.ZRx externally by the base body.
Do
not
exceed a push force of 50 N on the motion platform.
Do
not
exceed a pull force of 30 N on the motion platform.
Avoid torques >0.5 Nm on the motion platform.
Pay attention to the torque range (p. 26) given for the screws used during installation.
Do
not
exceed the maximum permissible stress and load capacities according to the
specifications (p. 20).
NOTICE
Excessively long screws!
The P-736.ZRx may be damaged by excessively long screws.
Pay attention to the depth of the mounting holes in the motion platform (p. 22).
Only use screws of the correct length for the respective mounting holes.
