If the system where the cylinder is to be mounted is surrounded by an explosive
atmosphere, it may ignite during work.
Do always respect the local installation regulations.
Danger of explosion due to spark formation!
Electrostatic charge of the cylinder may lead to sparks and cause danger of
explosion in explosion protection zones.
Avoid electrostatic charge.
The cylinder must be grounded and be a part of the grounding concept. Ground
cylinder via the motor and the cylinder mounting (machine frame).
Mechanical charges cause sparks and danger of explosion.
Never expose the cylinder to powers of impact during transport, mounting and
operation.
Some thrust rod ends and mounting methods permit oscillating rotational and
pivoting movements of the cylinder. If these elements are used:
Make sure, that circumferential speeds at the friction surfaces do not exceed
1 m/s.
Never twist or bend the cylinder or fix it under stress.
Avoid incorrect load mounting at the thrust rod end, see chapter 4:
