Safety
Intended Use
The V-277 is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended to be used in interior
spaces and in an environment which is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
The V-277 has a voice coil linear drive, a position sensor and, depending on the model, a force
sensor as well. The V-277 is intended for positioning, adjusting and shifting loads in one axis at
various velocities and with defined forces.
The V-277 is a linear actuator for applications in automation or handling technology. The V-277 is
not intended for applications in areas in which a failure would present severe risks to human
beings or the environment.
The intended use of the V-277 is only possible when installed and in connection with a suitable
controller (p. 9).

Safety Precautions
CAUTION
Risk of cuts and crushing!
The V-275 linear actuator can generate high forces at high velocities. When a contact part
with a small contact surface is installed on the pusher of the linear actuator, the pressure
exerted by the pusher on a fixed part or obstacle during operation may be very high. If
fingers or limbs get caught between the pusher of the linear actuator and a fixed part or
obstacle during operation, there is a risk of minor injury from cuts and crushing.
Use protective structures to keep limbs away from areas in which they could be seized
by pushers.
Observe the safety distances in accordance with the applicable standards when
installing protective structures.
If possible, use contact parts with a sufficiently dimensioned contact area, so that a
pressure of 50 N / cm2is not exceeded when operating the linear actuator with the
maximum specified force (p. 15).
NOTICE
Damage due to mechanical overload of the pusher!
Excessive torque or forces on the pusher (p. 8) can damage the V-277 linear actuator.
Do not exceed a maximum screw-in depth of 5 mm when mounting a contact part
(V-277.631) or a load (V-277.630).
Do not exceed the following maximum forces both in the positive and the negative
direction of motion of the pusher:
11 N with V-277.631
20 N with V-277.630
V-277.631 only: Do not exceed a maximum torque of 15 Ncm when changing the
contact part. Use a torque wrench to tighten the contact part.
V-277.631 only: Do not exceed the maximum lateral force acting on the contact part,
which is calculated using the following formula:
Fmax = Maximum torque [in Ncm]
Maximum lever length [in cm] = 15 Ncm
Contact part length [in cm] + 2.2 cm
(Contact part length: Overall length of the contact part excluding the mounting
thread)
V-277.630 only: Do not exceed a lateral force of 10 N acting on the pusher.

INFORMATION
If you install a load on the pusher, you may have to adapt the settings of the controller due
to the changed mass.

Suitable torque wrench
At least one screw M3 of suitable length
Requirements
You have read and understood the safety precautions (p. 7).
Optional: Installing a load
Screw the load onto the pusher of the V-277.630. When doing so, do not exceed a
maximum screw in depth of 5 mm, and do not mechanically overload the pusher (see the
safety instructions on p. 7 for the maximum permissible stress and load capacities).

INFORMATION
If you change the contact part of the pusher, you may have to adapt the settings of the
controller due to the changed contact part mass and/or contact stiffness.
Via the internal thread of the pusher, the contact part is electrically connected to the
M3 grounding pin of the V-277.631.
Tools and accessories
Torque wrench
Requirements
You have read and understood the safety precautions (p. 7).
Optional: Changing the contact part
1. Unscrew the supplied contact part from the pusher of the V-277.631.
2. Screw the new contact part onto the pusher of the V-277.631, maximum torque: 15 Ncm.
Removing the Transport Lock
The V-277 is delivered with a transport lock installed.
NOTICE

Mounting the V-277 on a Surface
NOTICE
Screws that are too long!
Screws that are inserted too deeply can damage the V-277 linear actuator.
Observe the depth of the mounting holes in the housing of the V-277 linear actuator.
Only use screws of the correct length for the mounting holes:
Mounting option 1 (M4x6 mounting holes): Maximum screw-in depth is 6 mm
Mounting option 2 (M4x12 mounting holes): Maximum screw-in depth is 12 mm
You have the following mounting options:
Mounting option 1:
4 × M4x6
Mounting option 2:
4 × M4x12
Figure 5: Mounting with four M4x6
screws
Figure 6: Mounting with four M4x12 screws
To mount the V-277 linear actuator on a surface, use the four mounting holes of the
selected option with suitable screws, see figures above.
Tighten the screws with a maximum torque of 260 Ncm.

Connecting Motor Cable and Sensor Cable to the V-277
Requirements
You have read and understood the safety precautions (p. 7).
Motor cable and sensor cable are not connected to the controller.
Tools and accessories
Sub-D 9 (m/f) motor cable, in the scope of delivery (p. 9)
Sub-D 25 (m/f) sensor cable, in the scope of delivery (p. 9)
Connecting the motor cable and sensor cable to the V-277
1. Connect the cable:
−Connect the connector (f) of the motor cable to the 9-pin Sub-D panel plug (m)
of the V-277.
−Connect the connector (f) of the sensor cable to the 25-pin Sub-D panel plug (m)
of the V-277.
2. Secure the connectors (f) with the integrated screws against being accidentally pulled out
of the V-277.
Operation
General Notes on Operation
INFORMATION
Since the drive of the V-277 linear actuator does not have any self-locking, an internal return
mechanism is implemented (return / pulling force ranges from 3 N with 0 mm travel to 5 N
with 15 mm travel). This return mechanism pulls the pusher of the V-277 in the negative
direction of motion (towards the actuator housing) when switching off or rebooting the
controller. The return motion is stopped by an integrated soft stop.
When the controller is switched on but the servo mode for the axis is switched off, the weight
force of the moving mass is compensated for by the controller (see “AutoZero Procedure for
Weight Force Compensation” in the C-413 user manual (MS224E)).
