Figure 4.3: Do not carry IMA by connectors or cables.
The Tolomatic IMA Actuator weight range is approximately 3.0 to 42 kg (6.6 to 92.6 lb). Special care must be taken
when lifting this device. Do not carry by the connectors or cables. The connectors are not rated to support the
weight of the actuator.
Figure 4.4: Use straps and winch to position heavy IMA actuator.
3. Visually inspect the actuator for damage
4. Notify the carrier of any shipping damage immediately
5. If the actuator is mounted in a vertical or inclined (sloping) position, include safety measures that control the
work load in case of a screw failure.
6. Consider anti-rotation of the rod end. The actuator's thrust rod must be kept from rotating in order to achieve
linear motion. If the application's tooling and load is free to rotate, order an IMA model with external anti-
rotation (ARO) to prevent the rod from rotating.
7. It is recommended to install the actuator with rod-end down or at a downward inclination to achieve the best
seal ingress protection.
8. Follow recommendations for actuator orientation and cable routing.
9. Ensure sufficient clearance around the actuator to allow for airflow and cooling.
10. Follow installation mounting considerations and specifications for each mounting configuration during
installation.
