2.1
Intended Use
The Q-632 is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor use and
use in an environment that is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the Q-632 is intended for positioning, adjusting and rotating loads
in a rotational axis at different velocities in interval operation. The Q-632 uses a piezoelectric
inertia drive. The drive is self-locking at rest, requires no current, generates no heat, and
maintains its position.
The Q-632 can be mounted in any orientation. The specifications of the Q-632 apply to
horizontal mounting (p. 37).
The Q-632 is
not
intended for applications in areas where failure would be a considerable risk
for people or the environment. The Q-632 is not intended for continuous operation. For further
information on the operating conditions of the Q-632, see "Technical Data" (p. 37).
The Q-632 has a linear encoder for direct position detection and is designed for an ambient
pressure to 10
-6
hPa.
It is only possible to use the Q-632 as intended when it is completely mounted and connected.
The Q-632 must be operated with suitable electronics (p. 10). The electronics are not in the
scope of delivery of the Q-632.
2.2
