2.5 Safety equipment
Integration of an emergency-stop system (for
certain applications)
The device is intended only for installation into an application or
system. It does not have its own operating control elements,
and does not have an independent emergency-stop function.
Therefore, the device must be installed so that it is part of an
emergency shuto system and can be stopped if necessary.
The emergency shut-o system must be connected in such
a way that any disruption of the power supply or reactivation
of the power supply after a power disruption, cannot cause a
hazardous situation for persons or objects.
The emergency shut-o system must always be freely
accessible.
NOTE
The processor decides which applications require installation of
an emergency shut-o system.
Integration of a patient release system (for
certain applications)
The device is intended only for installation into an applica-
tion or system. It does not have its own operating control el-
ements, and does not have an independent patient release
mechanism. In the event of a malfunction, the device cannot
extend or retract.
If required by the application, a separate provision for pa-
tient release must be installed, to allow safe release of the
patient in case of emergency, or equipment failure.
NOTE
The processor decides whether the intended application requires
the installation of an emergency patient release system.
Integration of a safety mechanism to prevent
unintended triggering of the operating device
(for certain applications)
The device does not have its own operating control elements
and does not have a safety mechanism against unintended
triggering of the operating device.
If required by the application, a safety provision must be
provided to prevent unintended triggering of the operating
device.
NOTE
The processor decides whether the intended application requires
the installation of an safety mechnism to prevent unintended
triggering of the operating device.
The following safety mechanisms have been
installed:
• Backup nuts are tted on the leadscrew to prevent the lin-
ear actuator From collapsing if there is a gear nut failure.
• End limit switches are installed to provide a safe current
cut-o when the end of stroke position of the device is
reached. In case of failure of the end limit switches, a me-
chanical safety end-stop prevents the device from exceed-
ing its intended stroke.
2.6 Safeguard against
restart

Electromagnetic immunity environment tested
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the CAMT, including cables, than the
recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aected by absorption and reection from structures,
objects and people. Field strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.

Connection port
The connection port uses a 6-pole Molex Mini-t Jr. connec-
tor. It is used to interface the CAMT with the control unit by
the mean of an optional detachable motor cable that can be
supplied in dierent lengths (⮑ g. 1). For detailed control
and connection details please refer to chapter 4.5
Requirements for third party control units (mandatory in
medical applications) (⮑ page 23) and chapter 4.6

4.2 Brief description
The CAMT linear actuator is implemented in an application
and is exclusively for the centric tensile- and compres-
sive-loaded lift. The actuator requires an external control unit
to power the motor. The control unit is connected to the ac-
tuator via a detachable connection cable. The Ewellix oper-
ating control element is also connected to the control unit.
The actuator consists of a gearbox that is common to all the
versions. Several front and rear attachment options are
available (refer to chapter ⮑ 4.4 Attachment Options,
page 19).
The gearbox is composed with a direct current motor that
drives a trapezoidal sliding screw via a worm gear.
The leadscrew itself is self-locking to prevent the actuator
from driving back, without an additional brake.

4.0 Structure and function
4.5 Requirements for third party control units (manda-
tory in medical applications) (⮑ page 23) and chapter 4.6
Connections (⮑ page 23).
Gearbox
The gearbox contains the drive system that converts the
motor’s rotary motion into the translation motion of the
spindle.
This is done through the use of a worm gear and a lead-
screw. The worm shaft is directly integrated to the motor
and the worm wheel is integrated to the trapezoidal lead
screw nut.
A backup nut is located on the leadscrew to prevent the col-
lapse of the actuator in case of a failure of the screw nut.
The gearbox is pre-loaded to eliminate the axial clearance.
Protection tube
The main function of the protection tube is to provide an in-
terface for the rear attachment.
The length and the machining of the protection tube there-
fore vary depending on the selected attachment options.
The protection tube can be delivered as “short” or “long”.
When “short” (⮑ g. 2), the protection tube is just long
enough to provide the space necessary for the attachment
regardless of the stroke. This option leaves the spindle un-
covered for all strokes from 100 mm and above.
Fig. 2
When “long” (⮑ g. 3), the protection tube covers the entire
spindle. Even so, the rear side of the tube remains open to
leave access to the adjustable end-stop.
Fig. 3
WARNING
Safety hazard caused by interference
When using a short protction tube in combination with a long
leadscrew, the kinematic of the system should be carefully
studied to not get any interference between the back of the
spindle and the supporting pillar (or supporting structure in
general).
In worst case the interference could lead to a break or collapse
of the actuator and/or the support structure.
End position
The actuator stroke is limited by integrated end limit
switches that cut the power to the DC motor.
The end-stops are used to activate the limit switches via the
two at springs that are attached on both sides of the main
housing and front cover. When the end-stops contact the at
springs, the latter deect and activate the limit switches that
are located on a PCB above the gearbox.
18
CAMT20
The upper and the lower end position may be adjusted by
changing the position of the end stops using standard tools:
• 22 mm at wrench for the front end-stop
• 22 mm tube spanner for the rear end-stop
In case of a system malfunction, when the spindle moves
beyond the end limit switches, the end-stops act as me-
chanical safety end-stops and halt the movement.
When an end-stop hits a xed surface on the housing or
cover, the external control unit detects the peak of current
that results of this and consequently cuts it o, preventing
the motor from overheating.
WARNING
Safety hazard caused by loosen and stop
The end stops are designed to be adjusted several times.
However, after every adjustment it must be checked that the
torque is still high enough to hold the position.
Minimum torque must be 0,5 Nm.
In case the torque is too low, there is a risk that the end stop
could unintentionally change the position or in the worst case the
rear end stop could drop from the leadsrew. this could lead to
collapse of the actuator.
External control unit
The DC motor is powered via an external control unit
through the connection port. The control unit controls the
running direction of the linear actuator. The 2 motor built-in
hall encoders signals can be accessed by the controller to
enable variable speed control or positioning.
The control unit is also used to provide a soft start/stop
function in order to avoid shocks that could negatively aect
the user experience of the device on which the CAMT is
mounted.
Ultimately, in case of overload, the control limits the current
in order to prevent the motor from overheating and damag-
ing the actuator.
Ewellix advises to use one of the following control units to-
gether with the CAMT actuator:

4.0 Structure and function
4.4 Attachment options
Several types of attachments provide exibility to install the
CAMT on the supporting structure.
Most feature a set of matching front and rear interfaces:
• Ø8 bore on spindle (front), clevis attachment (rear)
(⮑ g. 4)
• clevis attachments (front and rear) (⮑ g. 5)
• brackets, 1-axis (1 degree-of-freedom, front and rear)
(⮑ g. 7)
• brackets, 2-axis (2 degree-of-freedom, front and rear)
(⮑ g. 8)
• U-bracket, 1-axis (1 degree-of-freedom, rear only)
(⮑ g. 6)
Clevis attachments are popular in the industry and are in
this case, available with high accuracy bores (H7) to keep
the play in the attachment reduced to the minimum.
The 1 and 2 degree-of freedom rear brackets are designed
to t directly on a Ewellix telescopic pillar (CPMT, TLG and
TLT) and respectively allow the 1 or 2-axis movements nec-
essary to the application.

The simplest available standard front attachment is a Ø 8H7
(+0.015/0.000) bore in the lead screw (⮑ g. 9).

CAMT20
NOTE
If the bore will be used as the pivot point, it is recommended to
use a DIN 6325 cylinder pin with Ø 8h7 (+0,000/-0,015) to have a
loose t.
In case the pin should be xed in the lead screw bore and
the pivot point is provided by a customer designed clevis, it
is recommended to use a DIN 6325 cylinder pin with Ø 8m6
(+0,015/+0,06) to have a transition t.
4.4.2 Clevis attachments
The clevis attachment set is composed of specic front and
rear interfaces.
The clevis front interface (⮑ g. 10) includes an additional
head that is put at the extremity of the spindle and that fea-
tures a Ø12H7 (+0,018/-0.000) bore. An elastic pin is cross
tted through the clevis head and spindle to ensure the
clevis head will not get lose over time.
Fig. 10
NOTE
If the bore will be used as the pivot point, it is recommended to
use a DIN 6325 cylinder pin with Ø 12h7 (+0,000/-0,018) to have
a loose t.
In case the pin should be xed in the bore and the pivot point is
provided by a customer designed clevis, it is recommended to
use a DIN 6325 cylinder pin with Ø 12m6 (+0,018/+0,007) to have
a transition t.
The rear interface (⮑ g. 11) is composed of 2 bushings
with Ø 20H7 (+0.021/0.000) that are tted to the protection
tube.
As standard, this bushings are located under the spindle so
that it is possible for a pin to totally cross the protection
tube. Optionally, these bushings can be located higher on
the tube, toward the gearbox. In this case, the mounting can
only be in a trunnion conguration.
It should be noted that in order to keep a low play congura-
tion, the clevis pins used both for the front and rear attach-
ments should be of matching dimension/tolerance.
Fig. 11
NOTE
It is recommended to use a DIN 6325 cylinder pin with Ø 20h7
(+0,000/-0.021) to have a loose t.
4.4.3 Degree-of-freedom (1-DOF)
brackets
The front bracket is attached to the CAMT spindle through a
Ø8 dowel pin and allows for a single axis movement only,
around this same pin (⮑ g. 12). The dowel pin is xed rela-
tively to the spindle and the bracket swivels around it, sup-
ported by 2 bushings.
The connection to the upper structure is done through 2
standard M10 screws.
