• Observe the local regulations for environmentally friendly waste management of electronic compon-
ents.
• Take into account the material specifications ( Technical data chapter).
• Use the product in its original status, without any unauthorised product modifications.
• Take into consideration the ambient conditions at the location of use.
Corrosive environments (e.g. ozone) reduce the service life of the product.
• Compare the limit values in these operating instructions with those of your application (e.g. forces,
torques, temperatures, loads, speeds).
Operation of the product in compliance with the relevant safety regulations is contingent on adher-
ence to the load limits.
• Take the tolerance of the tightening torques into account. Unless otherwise specified,
the tolerance is ±20 %.
• Make sure there is a supply of correctly prepared compressed air ( Technical data chapter).
5 Installation
5.1 Mechanical installation
• Avoid the sealing band being pressed and/or sucked in.
Damage to the sealing band reduces its reliability in operation. Jerky movement of the unpressur-
ised slide can cause a partial vacuum that sucks the sealing band into the piston chamber.
• Leave all screws and threaded bolts in their original states, unless you are requested to modify
them in these instructions.
• Prevent the band system from becoming damaged or excessively dirty.
Damage to the DGC-HD will reduce its reliability and service life.
5.1.1 Carrying out the product installation
Note
Heavy tensile loads may cause the screws in the cover to be pulled out.
• Fasten the DGC-HD with profile mountings or slot nuts ( Tab. 1). Mounting on the
connector/end cap is not possible.
• When installing, ensure that there is no tension or deflections
present (evenness of mounting surface ≤ 0.05 % of the stroke
length; max. 0.5 mm). For gantry applications, parallel align-
ment of the axes is additionally required. For additional informa-
tion, please contact your local Festo Service.
