Mounting guidelines
LINAK ® linear actuators are quickly
and easily mounted by slipping pins
through the holes on each end of
the units and into brackets on the
machine frame and the load.
The mounting pins must be parallel
to each other as shown in Figure 1.
Pins, which are not parallel to each
other, may cause the actuator to
bend and be damaged.
The load should act along the stroke
axis of the actuator since off centre
loads may cause bending and lead to
premature failure. See Figure 2.
Make sure the mounting pins are
supported in both ends. Failure to
do so could shorten the life of the
actuator. Cantilever mounts are
unacceptable.

Warning!
If the actuator is used for pull in an application where personal injury
can occur, the following is valid:
It is the application manufacturer’s responsibility to incorporate a suitable
safety arrangement, which will prevent personal injury from occurring, if the
actuator should fail.
Warning!
The piston rod eye is only allowed to turn 0-90 degrees.
Warning!
LINAK’s actuators are not constructed for use within the following
fields:
