6.2.2 Functional Principle and Application Linear Drives Ø10 to Ø80
• The piston is moved by compressed air in the cylinder. In the typical operating mode, both sides of
the cylinder are initially charged with compressed air and then the side towards which one wants the
cylinder to move is vented. For special applications it is possible to use different types of control if other
parameters are also taken into consideration.
• The piston yoke holds the sealing bands in grooves. The force is transmitted directly to the outside.
• The unit is fitted with the help of threads on its front face. Cover mountings can be supplied as
accessories.
• For long cylinders, additional mid-section supports should be used (also available as accessories).
For further details please refer to the catalogue.

7.2 Design and function principle of clean room cylinders
• The piston in the linear drive is moved by compressed air. In the typical operating mode, both sides of
the cylinder are initially charged with compressed air and then the side towards which one wants the
piston to move is vented. For special applications it is possible to use different types of control if other
parameters are also taken into account.
• The unit is fitted with the help of threads on its front face. Cover mountings can be supplied as original
accessories.
• The load is directly mounted on the piston.
• The longitudinal slot in the cylinder is sealed and protected by stainless steel bands.
• The difference between the clean room cylinder OSP-P and the rodless standard linear drive OSP-P is
that a vacuum is created between the internal and the external steel band.
To generate the vacuum there are two air connections where a vacuum pump can be connected.
To ensure proper extraction of the particle emission a vacuum suction flow of 4 m³/h is recommended.
• End cushioning is infinitely variable (see cushioning diagram in catalogue OSP-P).
• For speed ranges < 0.2 m/s we recommend our slow speed grease.
• All fixing screws are of stainless material.

Installation work and commissioning must be carried through by specialists only!
9.1 Preparations
Prior to installation:
• Remove and dispose off all transport devices.
IMPORTANT:
No welding work should be done after the installation of the cylinder.
Welding may damage the sealing system which may cause considerable blow-off noise at the cylinder.
The cylinder can produce uncontrolled movements.
Remove the cylinder first or isolate it electrically.
The assembly itself must be carried out in such a way that
• the applicable rules and regulations are observed as required (e.g. DIN EN 983),
• the linear drive is installed without distortion or warping,
• all connections and operating parts are accessible,
• the type plate and the yellow strip with the „Attention“ note is legible on the cylinder.
Any potential hazards that may exist between this linear drive and customer’s items of equipment must be
eliminated by the user as required.
9.2 Installation of OSP-P / OSPP-BG
Notes on the application of the linear drives
9.2.1 Mechanical
• In the case of extreme contamination we recommend to install the „piston / guide-carriage-down“ instal-
lation and, if necessary, the use of deflectors.
• Fasten the working load to the carrier using only the threaded holes in the carrier.
• Position the working load so that the bending moments on the carrier are below the values shown in the
OSP-P cataloque.
• For long cylinders, use mid-section supports from our OSP-P cataloque.
OSP-P only:
• Avoid forces exerted by loads carried on external linear guides.
Example use a carrier with clevis mounting from our cataloque.
9.2.2 Electrical
• Sensors from our catalogue offer enable your load to be positioned accurately.
• Fit the sensors so that they are not close to ferritic parts or moving loads.
• Use the most favourable mounting slot on the circumference of the cylinder barrel.
9.2.3 Pneumatic
• Actuate the cylinder via two 3/2 way valves ore one 5/3 way valve, normally open.
• Avoid uncontrolled movements during start-up or after an unwanted stop
• Use soft start units, pressurised units or similar items from our catalogue.
• Arrange the control system so that the piston does not travel into a completely exhausted cylinder chamber.
• Adjust the piston speed with throttle non-return valves, these can be screwed directly into the cylinder.
• Use compressed air connections of adequate size.
OSP-P Clean room cylinder
• The length of the hose between vacuum pump and air connection should be as short as
possible. Mind a symmetrical arrangement (see connection diagram).
Mind:
Switch on suction device before venting the cylinder chamber.

10 Commissioning
Installation work and commissioning must be carried through
by specialists only!
The linear drive can produce quick linear movements with high force. Failure to observe the safety regula-
tions can cause bodily injury as a result of trapping, or damage as a result of collision with other plant parts.
Crushing Hazard
Check before commissioning:
• that the connection arrangements are correct, and
• that there is nothing in the way of the moving load.
During the first start-up, check the function of the proximity and/or the limit switches. First, the linear drive
should be allowed to run through the entire moving zone at low speed in order to detect any possible colli-
sion areas. These must be removed immediately.
10.1 Commissioning of an OSP-P / OSPP-BG linear drive
• Make two strokes of the piston / guide carriage by hand without air pressure.
• Move piston / guide carriage to the middle position.
• Fully screw in both needle valves for end cushioning (not Ø 10).
• Unscrew both needle valves about one half turn (not Ø 10).
• In the case of clean room cylinders OSP-P switch on suction device before venting the cylinder.
• Slowly pressurise both cylinder chambers in order to prevent uncontrolled, dangerous movements
(soft start valve, accessories in our catalogue),
the piston stops after a short movement.
• Vent one side,
the piston travels to end position.
• Start test running.
• Adjust speed with throttle non-return valve.
• Adjust end cushioning with needle valve (not Ø 10).
The floating end cushion must be adjusted to ensure a shock-free and vibration-free operation.
Check the permissible weights and speeds in accordance with cushioning diagram
in catalogue OSP-P. These values must not be exceeded !
10.2 Commissioning of a Complete Plant
Danger of crushing!
The piston yoke and the guide carriage of linear drives may cause serious injuries during their movements.
Protruding edges of other subassemblies or machine components may result in dangerous crushing points.
• Observe instructions for switching on and off the plant, running up of plant, control displays in accord-
ance with the operating instructions.
• Prior to switching on/first start-up of the plant make sure that nobody is within reach of the plant.
• Everybody must be informed that the cylinder (the plant) is about to start.
• Prior to commissioning check all protective devices, limit switches, safety earthings and other protective
measures for proper function and completeness. Inspect all parts of the plant for foreign substances.
• Nobody must stay within the danger zone during commissioning.
• Make sure that the correct plant data have been entered for the first start-up.
• Make two strokes of piston / guide carriage by hand without air pressure.
• Move piston / guide carriage to mid position.
• Screw in both needle valves for end cushioning fully (not Ø10).
• Unscrew both needle valves about half a turn (not Ø10).
• For clean room cylinders OSP-P: switch on suction device before venting the cylinder.
• Pressurise plant slowly in order to avoid uncontrolled, dangerous movements (soft start valve), according
in our catalogue.
