Series 247 Actuators Installation 27
Installation
Installing the Series 247 Actuators depends on the testing application:
• structural or vibration testing
• materials or component testing
For structural or vibration testing, the actuator is typically secured to a reaction
mass using a swivel or pedestal base. This section describes how to install the
actuator for this type of configuration.
Although uncommon, the actuator can be configured for materials or component
testing. In these configurations, the actuator is typically installed in a test fixture
at the factory. Actuator options such as servovalves and manifolds are also
installed on the actuator at the factory. The only installation required is to connect
system hydraulic hoses and system cables.
