1.2.1. General hazards
General Hazards on Non-Compliance with the Safety Instructions
This machine component has been designed in accordance with state-of-the-art
technical developments and is operationally reliable. If it is not operated by
qualified or at least trained personnel or if it is operated improperly or not in
accordance with the operating instructions, however, the unit may bear the risk of
hazards.
Electronic, moving and rotating components can
danger for life and limb of the operator or third persons
cause material damage
If the linear actuator is installed in a machine plant, the safety requirements noted
in the operating instructions for that machine must be combined with those
described in this manual.
1.2.2. Intended use
The linear actuator has a number of uses including:
Positioning, transporting, feeding, removing, pallet handling, loading, unloading,
processing and manipulating workpieces or tools.
Since the component can be used in a very wide range of applications, the user is
responsible for its use in specific applications.
Please make sure that the mounting of parts or tools will not pose a threat to
persons or cause damages to any parts or devices. This also applies, for example,
to the case of a broken timing belt.
The linear actuator must only be used in areas that are not accessible to persons
during operation.
If the linear actuator is used in areas accessible to people, it must be installed in
such a manner that no one can be endangered during operation.

Parker EME Introduction
192-510014 N04 March 2010 7
1.2.3. Identifying Residual Dangers and Hazardous Areas
If there are still residual dangers present to persons or property from the linear
actuator in spite of operating it in a safe manner, the user must make reference to
these residual dangers through signs and written rules requiring appropriate
procedures.
The following safety signal words are used:
Danger Indicates that an imminent hazardous situation may lead to death or serious bodily harm -if
not prevented using appropriate safety measures-.
Warning Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided using appropriate safety
measures, could result in serious or minor injury.
Caution Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided using appropriate safety
measures, may result in minor injury or damage.-
Hint Provides important information about the product, how to handle the product or about the
part of the manual to which particular attention must be paid.
1.2.4. Working safely
Heed the Instructions
The information (such as instructions and notes) contained in this manual must be
heeded for all work involved in installing, commissioning, setting up, operating,
changing operating conditions and modes, servicing, inspecting and repairing the
unit.
The manual must be available close to the linear module during the performance of
all tasks.
It is impermissible to operate the liner module if it is not in perfectly functional
condition.
Operating personnel.
The following jobs must only be performed by appropriately trained and authorized
personnel:
Installation and set-up tasks on the linear actuator
Attaching safety transmitter switches (initiators)
Connecting the drive and testing the motion direction
Instructions for Special Hazards
The linear module must be fixed or supported in accordance with the indications in
this manual.
The operator must ensure that operation of the linear module does not cause any
danger.
If the linear module moves in hazardous areas, these areas can be safeguarded
with safety transmitter switches.

1.2.5. Safety Instructions for the Company Using the System
Supervisors must also become familiar with the entire chapter entitled "Safety" and
handling required on the linear actuator.
Supervisors must ensure that installation and operating personnel have read and
understand the chapter entitled "Safety" and the description of how to work with the
machine, and that they observe the instructions.
The manual must be available close to the linear module during the performance of
all tasks.
It is impermissible to operate the liner module if it is not in perfectly functional
condition.
1.2.6. Safety Instructions for Operating Personnel
Any work step that has a negative effect on the operating safety of the linear
actuator must be omitted.
Operating and supervisory personnel are required to check the linear actuator or
machine at least once per shift for externally visible damage or defects. Changes
that have occurred (including the operating behaviour) that could have a negative
effect on the operating safety must be reported immediately.
Components and accessories are designed especially for this product. When
purchasing spare and wearing parts, use only original Parker parts. We note here
explicitly that we are unable to check or release spare parts or accessories that
were not provided by us. Installing and/or using such products may cause negative
changes in the required design properties in some circumstances, which in turn
could negatively effect the active and/or passive operating safety of the product.
The manufacturer is unable to accept any liability for damage caused by using non-
original parts and accessories.
Safety and protection devices are strictly NOT to be removed or bypassed or set
out of order.
Applicable requirements and national accident prevention regulations must always
be observed when installing and operating our linear motor module.
1.2.7. Transport
Never step under overhead loads – danger of being injured!
Moving parts must always be secured against slipping or moving.
*By wrapping several turns of strong adhesive tape around the sliding carriage, which if possible is in
the centre of the profile, for example.
Hint
Danger when transporting long actuators. Because the actuator bends under its own weight,
guiding accuracy may deteriorate significantly. In addition, the shape of the profile may
change and the travel behaviour of the sliding carriage may be negatively affected.
In general no means of transport are needed for the LCB. The linear actuator can
be carried, depending on the size, by one or two persons.

1.3 Warranty conditions
User Conversions and Changes are Not Permitted
The linear actuator must not be changed in its design or in terms of safety without
our approval. Any change as defined here made by the user excludes any liability
on our part.

2.1 Preparations for substructure
Each holding point must be even with a flat parallelism of 0.2 mm. All holding points must be aligned
with parallelism to each other of better than 0.5 mm.
To simplify installation and adjustment, the holding points for the linear actuator can also consist of
adapter plates. They can be aligned with tightening and pressure screws.
