8.9 Replacing an elastomer for E variants
Position of the item numbers
The elastomers have a limited lifespan, depending on the load. For
this reason, their function should be checked regularly. The elast-
omer is working correctly if the unit moves gently to the end posi-
tions. When replacing an elastomer, the complete additional parts
list for elastomer dampening should be ordered.
Proceed as follows with the replacement:
Ø
Remove the compressed air lines.
Ø
Loosen the counter nut (124).
Ø
Remove the shock absorber (121) from the unit and remove the
sleeve (122). If the latter cannot be loosened from the shock
absorber, it may be helpful to use a small bar magnet or turn
the unit by hand.
NOTE
If the shock absorbers are installed vertically (horizontal axis of
rotation of the module), make sure that the sleeve (122) and the
ball (142) are secured against falling out.
Clean all parts thoroughly and check all parts for defects and wear.
