Integrated anti-twist protection [+]

Integrated anti-twist protection [+] 1:

The integrated anti-twist protection assures the translatory movement of the spindle. It facilitates assembly and enables the use of compensating elements, as no external anti-twist protection is required via the application.

The integrated anti-twist protection ensures that torques are not transmitted to the application. The load on the guide systems is lower.

Notice

Provide anti-twist protection

Anti-twist protection is always mandatory to assure the translatory movement of the spindle.

  • Electric cylinders without an integrated anti-twist protection must always be supplemented by an external anti-twist protection.
  • Implement the external anti-twist protection constructively in the application.

Notice

Unsecured end positions

Moving the electric cylinder without secured end positions leads to a defect in the product if the end positions of the spindle are exceeded. Electric cylinders without integrated anti-twist protection [+] do not have a factory-set end position safety device.

  • Provide for external end positions or stay within the stroke of the spindle.
  • Perform homing and use the NC end positions to prevent possible damage to the spindle drive.
  • Read the chapter Commissioning before executing homing.

Notice

Save end positions during homing

Moving the electric cylinder without secured end positions leads to a defect in the product if the end positions of the spindle are exceeded.

  • Make sure that the electric cylinder does not exceed the end positions during homing.
  • Read the chapter Commissioning before executing homing.
