Change Connector Orientation
You can rotate the circular DIN-connector housings up to 180 ° in either direction.
Follow these steps to rotate the DIN connectors.
1. Mount and fully seat a mating cable on the connector.
2. Grasp the connector and cable plug by their housings and slowly rotate them to the
outside of the motor.
If necessary, repeat this step for each connector (feedback or power/brake).
ATTENTION: You can rotate the connectors into a fixed position during installation of the electric
cylinder and keep them in that position without further adjustment. Strictly limit the applied
forces and the number of times the connector is rotated to be sure that connectors meet the
requirements of IP66 for the motor portion of the electric cylinder.
Failure to observe these safety precautions can result in damage to the motor and its components
ATTENTION: Apply force only to the connectors; do not apply force to the cable. Do not
use tools, for example, pliers and vise-grips, to assist with the rotation of the connector.
Failure to observe these safety precautions can result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
