Mounting guidelines
LINAK
®
linear actuators are quickly and easily mounted by slipping pins through the holes on each end of the
units and into brackets on the machine frame and the load�
The mounting pins must be parallel to each other as shown in
Figure 1� Pins, which are not parallel to each other, may cause
the actuator to bend and be damaged�
The load should act along the stroke axis of the actuator as off-
centre loads may cause bending and lead to premature failure�
See Figure 2�
Make sure the mounting pins are supported in both ends�
Failure to do so could shorten the life of the actuator� Also, avoid
applying a skew load on the actuator�
The actuator can rotate around the pivot point in the front and rear end� If this is the case it is of high
importance that the actuator is able to move freely over the full stroke length, both during the development
and daily operation� Please pay special attention to the area around the housing where parts can be trapped
and cause damage to the application and actuator�
In applications with high dynamic forces LINAK recommends not to use the fully extended or retracted position
over longer time, as this can damage the endstop system permanently�
