During operation

Do not work on live electrical parts

Do not open any electric cylinders while they are live. Ensure that the protective conductor is properly connected. Never loosen electrical connections when live. Only work on electric cylinders when the device is switched off. Disconnect all components from the mains and protect them against unintentional reconnection.

Check for grease leakage at the spindle drive

Check the spindle drive for leaking grease and remove the grease from the spindle environment. Please also refer to chapter Cleaning

Avoid excessive greasing of the spindle and contamination of the environment with the escaping grease. Ensure that you read the chapter Lubrication of the spindle drive.

Avoid temperatures above 200 °C near the spindle

Avoid surface temperatures of over 200 °C in the immediate vicinity of the spindle drive. Escaping grease could liquefy completely at high temperatures.

Adequately shield hot surfaces to protect them from accidental contact and possible grease leakage.

Do not touch hot surfaces

Check the cooling of the surfaces with a thermometer. Do not touch the components during and immediately after operation. Allow the components to cool sufficiently after switching off.

Avoid overheating

Operate the electric cylinder within the technical specifications. Please refer to chapter Switching thresholds for temperature shutdown. Activate and monitor the temperature sensor of the electric cylinder. Provide for sufficient cooling. Switch off the electric cylinder immediately if the temperature is too high.

Do not touch any moving or rotating components

Do not touch any moving or rotating components. Fasten all parts or components on the machine or plant.

Keep travel path clear and do not enter area

Keep the travel path of the spindle drive clear when operating the electric cylinder. Maintain a safety distance of at least 25 cm from all moving parts in the travel range.
