Dangers may arise from the unit, if:
•
the product is not installed or inserted properly,
•the system is not used for its intended purpose,
•the safety and installation notes are not observed.

NOTICE!
The unit may only be operated if the machine in which the unit is installed
complies with the relevant provisions of the Machinery Directive 2006-42-EC.
CAUTION!
Before carrying out assembly, alteration, maintenance or adjustment, remove the
power supply and carry out the necessary work outside the danger zone.
The MEK-PM Energy Coupling series has been designed to operate pneumatic and / or electrical
equipment. The module is intended for installation in a machine. The requirements of the applicable
instructions must be considered and adhered to. The unit may only be used in the context of its technical
specifications.
Everyone who is responsible for assembly, commissioning and maintenance must read and
understand the complete operating instructions. Improper use, which affects the function und
operational safety of the MEK Energy Coupling, is prohibited.
The upper assembly of the MEK is mounted on the upper assembly of the MGW or SWS, the lower
assembly of the MEK corresponding to the lower assembly. The mechanical connection of two
components by means of a change system is extended by the MEK, now the pneumatic and electrical
lines are coupled or decoupled parallel. Time-intensive disconnection of cables and hoses is no longer
necessary.
Pneumatic and electrical connectors are integrated in both halves, which are specially designed for
frequent plug connections and low joining forces. The MEK are graded in sizes according to the GRIP
change systems. On the MEK-PM variant, the pneumatic feedthroughs are radially outgoing, equipped
with metric threaded connections.
This symbol indicates possible hazards to persons or the MEK-
PM Energy Coupling.
Use this unit only in dry and splash-proof environments at room temperature as well as within the
application parameters defined in the technical specifications. If this is not the case, warranty
cannot be accepted. Exceptions are units designed especially for the respective conditions.

The complete insulation elements (pos. 11 and 12) can be removed to solder the connections.
Attention! The solder contacts are mounted in a floating manner, their movement margin may
not be restricted after soldering (for example by cables which are too thick or by shrink tubing).
To connect the pneumatic feedthroughs, the customer-side pneumatic screw connections
(M5), must be connected to the threaded bores at the side of the MEK.
Subsequently the o-rings (pos. 8) and the distance bushings (pos. 5) must be pushed in and
covers (pos. 3) must be mounted.
The electrical plug (item 8) belongs to the MEK upper assembly, the electrical socket (pos. 7)
belongs to the MEK lower assembly.
To adjust the upper and lower assemblies, the upper assembly (pos. 1) has to be assembled
completely. Subsequently, the lower assemblies (pos. 2) are mechanically joined and the
insulating body of the lower assembly is aligned by simple plugging onto the contacts of the
upper assembly. In this case, only one position is possible (polarity-proof insulating body).
If several lower assemblies are used, this process is repeated accordingly, the upper assembly
is always the reference piece.

Once the connections have been completed, the insulating body must be pushed back into the
housing as far as it will go (pos. 1 or 2).
If the product is used as intended in 1-shift operation the warranty is valid for 24 months from the ex-
works delivery date under observance the mandatory maintenance and lubrication intervals and the
given operating conditions. Generally parts touching the work piece and wear parts are not part of the
warranty. Wear parts are listed in chapter 8.1. The unit is considered to be defective if its basic
function “Feeding through" is no longer functioning.

7 Maintenance and care
The O-rings (pos. 6 and 8) should be slightly lubricated.
7.1 Disassembly of the MEK
(See Image 2)
1. Remove all compressed air lines.
2. Loosen the mounting screws (pos. 9, 10 and 14).
3.
Remove the electric covers (pos. 3).
4. Remove the distance bushings and the O-rings (pos. 5 and 8).
5. Clean all parts thoroughly. Inspect for wear and defects.
6. Lubricate all mating surfaces.
7.
Replace all seals.
For assembly, reverse the order.
