longer be correct. This may apply, for exam-
ple, to the conguration ID or the symbol af-
ter reversal of the direction of action.
Î Immediately renew any nameplates or
labels with incorrect or outdated infor-
mation.
Î Add any new values to the nameplate. If
necessary, contact SAMSON to obtain a
new nameplate.
Risk of actuator damage due to excessively
high or low tightening torques.
Observe the specied torques on tightening
actuator components. Excessively tightened
torques lead to parts wearing out quicker.
Parts that are not tightened far enough may
loosen.
Î Observe the specied tightening torques
(uAB0100).
Risk of actuator damage due to the use of
unsuitable tools.
Î Only use tools approved by SAMSON
(uAB0100).
6.1 Preloading the springs
Refer to Fig.6-1
By preloading the springs in the actuator, the
following can be achieved:
− The thrust is increased (only actuators
with "stem extends")

6.1.2 Increasing the actuator
thrust
The thrust can only be increased in actuators
with "stem extends" direction of action. To
achieve this, the springs of the actuators can
be preloaded by up to 12.5% (240cm²) or
by up to 25% (350 and 700cm²) of their
travel or bench range.
Example: Preloading is required for a bench
range of 0.4 to 2bar. 25% of this span is
0.4bar. Therefore, the signal pressure range
is shifted by 0.4bar to 0.8 to 2.4bar. The
new lower signal range value is 0.8bar and
the new upper signal range value 2.4bar.
Î Write the new signal pressure range of
0.8 to 2.4bar on the actuator nameplate
as the operating range with preloaded
springs.
