2.1 Mounting instructions
Figure 2: mounting instructions
1. The actuators have threaded holes in the front and rear housings and T-slots along the profile that can
be used for mounting. Be sure to mount the actuator so that the lubrication hole is accessible.
2. Only mount the actuator to one side if not trunnion mounting is used. Do not mount the actuator so that
the profile is deformed.

2.6 Mounting of worm gear type BS40 / BS50
Figure 7: flange for worm gear type BS40 / BS50
To be able to mount a worm gear (a) of type BS40 (for T90 only) or BS50 (for T130 only) an intermediate
flange (b) must be used. There is no flange available for T60.
2.7 Installation of magnetic sensors
Figure 8: magnetic sensor
1.The sensors are fixed in the desired position with set screws (a) in the T-slot. On T60 units there is only one
T-slot for sensors (b) while T90 and T130 has two (b and c).
2. Magnet width (A) and magnet position (B) for the actuator at fully retracted (left panel) and fully extended
(right panel) positions, respectively. The positioning of the sensor highly depends on the application since
traversing speed, load, deceleration and the motor/drive combination will all influence how quickly the unit will
stop after the sensor sent the signal. Thus, the sensor must be positioned accordingly. For safety, we
recommend that minimum 25 mm is added for the “B” and “C” values in the table below to prevent the unit
hitting the mechanical ends, (e.g. 55 + 25 and 118 + 25).

3. Service and maintenance
3.1 General maintenance instructions
• The customer can perform the service and maintenance described in this manual. Other service ought to
be performed by authorised personnel / service workshop.
• Follow the recommended service intervals. Replace defective parts immediately. Only use parts of the
same make and type as original. Ordering data can be found in the spare part lists supplied with the unit.
Also state the manufacturing number of the unit (embossed in the drive end).
• T90 and T130 is not self-braking. This means that the load and the extension tube can move if the driving
force is disconnected, or if the motor, gears or brakes are detached during service. This is even more
important for vertical applications. Ensure therefore that the load is secured before service is begun.
• Check the unit in connection to lubrication. Be attentive towards the wear and function of the rod seal, the
magnetic sensors, limit switches and the mounting of them. Check all connections to the support and the
rod. Also, be attentive towards a changed level of noise. Replace, repair or adjust.
• Keep the actuator clean. Wipe it off as required, particularly the rod. If cleaning fluid is required, use small
amounts and see to it that none gets into the actuator. Do not use strong cleaning agents. Dry it fully.
• Never mix different types of oils / lubricants!

3.2 Lubrication of the ball screw
Figure 9: lubrication of the ball screw
1. The ball screw is lubricated every 600 hours of operation or every 6:th month depending on whichever
comes first.
2. Recommended lubricant is Klüber Staburags NBU 30.
3. Remove the plastic plug covering the lubrication hole (a).
4. Run the extension tube to the indicated position for the actuator model in question. For T06-B25 the
lubrication position is at the maximum stroke length (Smax) of the unit – 110 mm, for T09-B25 it is at
Smax) – 74 mm, for T09-B32 at Smax – 36, for T13-B40 at Smax – 50 mm and for T13-B50 at Smax –
96 mm.
5. Apply 20 ml of lubricant to the ball nut by sticking a grease gun nipple (b) or a tube (c), through which the
lubricant can be applied, straight in to the lubrication hole in the profile so that it enters the lubrication hole
(d) of the ball nut assembly. Recommended type of grease gun nipple is Pressol pointed coupler M10 × 1
female article no: 12003 or equivalent. If a tube is used the recommended tube diameter is 6 mm.
6. Pull out the grease gun nipple / tube and put back the plastic plug.
