Determine the Configured Stroke
Each actuator has a standard ‘fixed’ Total Stroke - and a Configured Stroke.
In order to check the size of the configured stroke please follow the procedure described below.
Caution! Use this procedure only, if the size of the configured stroke does NOT appear from a
label in the bottom of the actuator (otherwise, follow description on page 9 in stead.)
Determine the Configured Stroke
1. When in position ‘Open’ (spindle is max. ‘in’), use the caliper to measure the distance (a).
Make a note of the value for ‘a’ in the table below.
2. Use the hand pump to slowly close the actuator while monitoring the closed signal.
Stop pumping when reaching the signal for ‘Closed’.
3. Use the caliper to measure the distance (b). Make a note of the value for ‘b’ in the table below, and com-
plete the form by calculating ‘c’ for Configured Stroke.
The value is needed for the calculation of preload described on page 9.
Note! The range should be within +/- 1 mm from the desired stroke.
