Operation Manual
5.3 Safety screw
A M5×10 set screw to ISO 4026 with flat point should be used. This
safety screw is only required for blocking the sensor housing in axial
direction and needs to butt only against the groove, i.e. the screw
may be tightened only with a torque of 0.5 Nm to prevent damaging
the sensor. The set screw should be inserted with a resolvable safety
adhesive, e.g. Loctite blue.
Set screw
e.g. retaining with set screw ISO 4026 M5×10 (with at point!).
Fastening torque: 0.44 Nm to 0.50 Nm
Notice: Ensure threads are free of oil, grease and debris
