Safety Informaon
Intended Use
The linear actuator is a laboratory device as
dened by DIN EN 610101. It is intended for
indoor use and use in an environment that is
free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the linear actu-
ator is intended for singleaxis posioning and
adjusng of loads at various velocies and with
dened forces. The linear actuator is intended
for applicaons in automaon or handling
technology.
The linear actuator is not intended for applica-
ons in areas where failure would be a consi-
derable risk for people or the environment. For
further informaon on the ambient condions,
see „Ambient Condions and Classicaons“ in
the manual.
The intended use of the linear actuator is
only possible when completely installed and
connected, and in conjuncon with a suitable
controller. The linear actuator may only be
installed, operated, maintained, and cleaned
by authorized and appropriately qualied
personnel.
Installaon
The linear actuator contains permanent
magnets. Their magnec elds can disturb or
damage sensive devices and objects (e.g.,
heart pacemakers, EC cards, magnec storage
devices). Loose magnezable objects (e.g., iron,
steel) could be aracted and cause material
damage. The magnec elds are also eecve
when the linear actuator is not connected or
switched o.
XMake sure that people with heart pace
makers and / or electronic implants do not
have access to the linear actuator.
XRemove loose magnezable objects and
sensive objects from the area where the
linear actuator is to be installed.
XMake sure that the danger zone is marked
and the necessary precauons have been
taken.
The linear actuators can generate high forces
at high velocies. Risk of minor injuries from
cung or crushing between the runner or the
contact part of the linear actuator and a xed
part or obstacle.
XUse safeguards to protect limbs in areas
where they could be caught by moving
parts.
XMaintain safety distances according to DIN
EN ISO 13857.
XIf possible, use contact parts with a su-
ciently dimensioned contact surface. The
pressure on the contact surface at maxi-
mum force of the linear actuator should not
exceed 50 N/cm².
Mechanical forces can damage or misalign the
linear actuator.
XKeep the linear actuator only in its housing.
XAvoid shocks and drops.
XDo not exceed the maximum permissible
forces and torques (see manual).
XAvoid lateral forces on the runner.
XTransport the linear actuator only in the
original packaging and with the safeguard
aached.
Incorrectly ed screws and locang pins can
cause damage.
XPay aenon to the maximum ghtening
torque (see manual).
XDo not allow screw heads to protrude.
XSelect the screw length according to the
depth of the mounng holes.
Unsuitable mounng could warp the linear
actuator and reduce the accuracy.
XMount the linear actuator on a level surface
with similar thermal expansion properes
(see manual for recommended atness).
Dirt, oil, lubricant, and condensaon make the
drive of the linear actuator inoperable.
XKeep the linear actuator free of dirt, lubri-
cants, and condensaon.
Collisions can damage the linear actuator, the
load to be moved, and the surroundings.
XMake sure that the runner cannot collide
with the load or the surroundings within
the moon range of the linear actuator.
XDo not place any objects in areas where
they can be caught by moving parts.

The linear actuator can overheat during
connuous operaon outside of the specied
parameters. Overheang can damage the linear
actuator. Heat produced during operaon can
aect your applicaon.
XEnsure sucient venlaon and heat dissi-
paon from contact surfaces.
XInstall the linear actuator so that the appli-
caon is not aected by dissipang heat.
XPay aenon to the permissible values for
nominal and peak current (see manual).
Startup
The drive of the linear actuator is not self
locking. If servo control is switched o, the
linear actuator could move unexpectedly and
the runner or the contact part could collide
with the hard stop or objects in the workspace.
XIf the linear actuator or the axis is aligned
vercally or is lted (only V275, V277):
Perform an autozero procedure on the
controller for the axis (see manual for the
controller).
XTake suitable precauonary measures to
prevent unintenonal moon before
switching o or reboong the controller.
XMove to the travel range limits only with
low velocity and force.
The nominal current as specied in the manual
applies when operang at room temperature.
XAdjust the nominal current needed for
operang the actuator when the ambient
temperature rises (see user manual).
XAdapt your applicaon (acceleraon,
speed, load) so that the calculated nominal
current is not exceeded. If you have any
quesons, contact our customer service
department.
Defecve soware or incorrect operaon of
the soware can result in unintenonal moon.
XDo not place any objects in areas where
they can be caught by moving parts.
Travel to the hard stop with maximum force or
at high velocity can cause damage, excessive
heat or considerable wear to the mechanics.
XStop the moon immediately if a controller
malfuncon occurs.
XEnsure that the end of the travel range is
approached at low velocity and with low
force.
XSet the control signal so that the runner
does not stop abruptly or try to connue
moon at the end of the travel range.
XDetermine the maximum velocity for your
applicaon.
Uncontrolled oscillaon can damage your appli-
caon or the linear actuator.
XIf oscillaon occurs, switch the servo mode
o or stop the linear actuator immediately.
XCheck the servo control parameter sengs
(see manual).
Moisture, liquids, and electrically conducve
materials (e.g., metal dust) that penetrate the
linear actuator can damage it.
XOperate the linear actuator only within
the permissible ambient condions (see
manual).
Excessively high or wrongly connected opera-
ng voltages can cause damage to the linear
actuator.
XUse compable electronics only.
XPay aenon to the operang voltage
range of the linear actuator (see manual).
XPay aenon to the correct pin assignment
(see manual).
