CAUTION
Possible damage to the linear module!
If the unit moves too hard into the end position, the linear
module may be damaged.
lA linear movement must always be free of impact and
bounce.
lFor this purpose, carry out sufficient throttling and
damping, }4.4 [/20].
lObserve the specifications in the catalog data sheet.
NOTE
lUse connecting wires with the same or a larger cross-section
as the connection thread.

4.3 Setting the speed
CAUTION
Material damage due to erroneous settings!
If the end position is approached too hard, the product may be
damaged.
lAdjust exhaust throttle valve and shock absorber so that the
movement is braked smoothly.
1. Close exhaust throttle valve completely.
2. Open exhaust throttle valve until the product starts to move.
3. Continue to open the exhaust throttle valve incrementally
until the movement decelerates smoothly.
ðIf the speed is too low, the product will brake too soon
and the end position will be reached too slowly.
ðIf the speed is too high, the product will impact against
the end position and the shock absorber will be
overloaded.
NOTE
A smooth motion may also be too slow in many use-cases.
Further settings can be made via the shock
absorbers, }4.4 [/20].
