xxx, adjust the guides of the workload and the electric cylinder so that
they are exactly parallel. This avoids excessive wear on the guide.
Mount the Electric Cylinder
1.
Use stainless steel fasteners to mount your electric cylinder to your application.
2.
Attach power and feedback cables after the electric cylinder is mounted, and use a drip
loop in the cable to keep liquids away from the connectors.
BURN HAZARD: Outer surfaces of the motor can reach high temperatures, 65 °C
(149 °F), during electric cylinder operation. Take precautions to prevent accidental
contact with hot surfaces. Failure to observe these safety precautions can result in
personal injury.
ATTENTION: Consider electric-cylinder surface temperature when selecting
motor-mating connections and cables. Failure to observe these safety precautions can
result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: Keyed connectors must be properly aligned and hand-tightened the
recommended number of turns.
Improper connector alignment is indicated by the need for excessive force, such as the
need for the use of tools, to fully seat connectors.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the motor and
cable, and their components.
