Mounting the P763
NOTICE
Warping of the P763 when mounted on uneven surfaces!
The P-763 could warp if mounted on an uneven surface. Warping reduces the accuracy.
Mount the P-763 onto an even surface. The recommended flatness of the surface is
≤20
µm.
For applications with large temperature changes:
Mount the P-763 only onto surfaces that have the same or similar thermal expansion
properties as the P-763.
NOTICE
Tensile stress when mounted vertically!
When the P-763 is mounted vertically, certain alignments can cause tensile stress that reduces
the preload and destroys the piezo actuator.
If you want to mount the P-763 vertically, contact our customer service department (p. 31).

Requirements
You have read and understood the general notes on installation (p. 15).
The P-763 is
not
connected to the electronics.
You have accounted for the space required to route cables according to regulations and
without bending them.
