Installation
Installing the Actuator
Whenever lifting the actuator, always use four lifting shackles, installed securely
into the lifting holes in the front and rear end caps.
Fixtures can be mounted to the actuator piston rod and rear end cap. The piston
rod is threaded to accept a stud. The rear end cap has between four and sixteen
threaded holes for the mounting of a swivel.
When using the Series 201 Actuator in a fatigue application the use of Model 249
Swivels and spiral washers is highly recommended to minimize the affects of
offset loads. Series 201 Actuators are not fatigue rated for high dynamic or offset
loading conditions.
