4. Do then mount the counter bearing of the push/pull cable
(clamp) in a distance of 188mm to the ball. The lever must
be in the center position. Make sure that the swiveling part
of the push/pull cable is equally far deflected to both sides
through the arch-shaped movement of the ball (fig. 17).
5. Now, mount the ball joint on the push/pull cable, fix the
jacket of the push/pull cable on the counter bearing using
the clamp and insert the ball joint into the ball on the
adjusting lever.
6. Make sure that the adjusting lever with the push/pull cable
can move over the complete range without any obstructions.
Now mount the other end of the push/pull cable on the
corresponding MarexECS Actuator. Make sure to use the
shortest possible way and avoid bends when routing the cable.
Be aware that the efficiency of the push/pull cable is reduced
with every bend. Cables which fulfill the following requirements
will work best:
W Smallest bending radius 200mm
W Traction 700N at maximum
W Force 300N at maximum
W Bending angle 90°
– Usable force = 82% of force applied
W Bending angle 360°:
– Usable force = 55% of force applied
