WARNING
Possible damage to the device or the customer system from loss of self-locking
facility.
• Provide safety equipment.
There is a difference between dynamic and static self-locking in the devices. Dy-
namic self-locking is activated by movement and static self-locking is activated
when the machine stops. The self locking facility on the devices is dependent on
various factors, e.g.:
• Angle of elevation of the spindle and nut
• Surfaceroughnessoftheanksofthespindleandnut
• Running speed
• Lubricant

A theoretical self-locking spindle does not provide absolute self-locking. For this
reason, the assumption of any warranty obligations relating to self-locking is
excluded.
