5 Transport and Storage
Check the packing for possible shipping damage.
If the packing is damaged check the contents for completeness and
possible damage. In case of damage inform the transport agent.
Compare the scope of supply with the delivery note.
The units are packed ready for
installation.
The name plate is fixed on the vibrator.
If lubricated compressed air or nitrogen
are required, the unit is delivered with
a corresponding note next to the air
inlet port.
If not specified differently, accessories
and additional components (grommet,
silencer) will be supplied unmounted.
Special transport conditions are not
specified.
The units should be stored in a dry and
clean environment.
Linear vibrators of type NTS must be
oiled before being returned for storage
(squirt machine oil into the air inlet port
and actuate the vibrator for a short
while).
On oil-free versions cleaning of the unit
is recommended (dismantle, if
necessary wipe off deposits with oil,
wipe clean, reassemble).
The storage temperature may be
between -40°C and +120 °C.
(This does not concern the
operating temperature, see chapter
4 SAFETY, “Permissible
Operating Conditions”).
6 Installation
During installation please comply
strictly with the safety regulations in
chapter 4 and the accident
prevention instructions!
Make sure the compressed air
supply is switched off during
installation or when working on
vibrator and air supply lines.
Mounting the vibrator:
The housing of the linear vibrator must
be bolted to the mass to be vibrated.
The mounting surfaces must be
absolutely even (± 0.1mm flatness
tolerance), so that the vibrator has full
area contact and warping of the housing
is avoided when tightening the fastening
screws. The surfaces should also be
free of any paint residues and weld
penetrations. Tensions in the housing
may cause mechanical damage.
The unit generates directed vibrations.
The working moment of the freely
oscillating piston determines the
amplitude.
In critical installation situations the unit must be secured with clamp and
steel rope.
