MTS Series 244 Actuators - Manual (Page 47)

See the system assembly drawing, system functional drawing, and console assembly drawing (typically
located in a System Reference manual supplied with your system documentation) for information about
hydraulic and electrical connections.
Note:
Actuators mounted in a load unit should not be removed from the load unit. Proper alignment should
not be performed in the field.
When an actuator is mounted in a load frame, the actuator is hidden behind other hydraulic components as
shown here.
Installing a Fixture to the Actuator
Fixtures can be mounted to the pedestal base, the actuator piston rod, or the upper end cap.
The actuator is equipped with an upper end cap and a pedestal base which has from two to eight threaded
mounting holes.
The pedestal base also contains a center position threaded hole which may be used to attach a swivel
mounting accessory. The piston rod also contains a center position threaded hole. This mounting hole is
typically used to attach a swivel mounting accessory or a specimen supporting fixture (shaker head or vibration
table) to the actuator.
