· In order to use the end position cushioning as minimum
stop protection, tighten completely the adjusting screws
for the internal end position cushioning.
· Recommendation: Limit the permitted work stroke by
shock absorbers, also on drives with adjustable cushion
ing. In this way you can avoid damage in the event of
operating and system faults.
· Arrange the tubing between the valve (MPYE−5−...) and the
drive (DGP(L)−...or DGPI(L)−...) symmetrically and as short
as possible.
Maximum tubing length Ţ Drive length
· With DGP(L) cylinders, provide air supply on both sides as
from a cylinder length of 600mm, in order to ensure good
positioning behaviour (type identifier D2).
· Lubricate the guide of the cylinder at maintenance
intervals as specified in the operating instructions for the
cylinder.
Measuring systems for the DGP(L)−...
· Use only measuring systems of types MLO−POT−...−TLF or
MME−MTS−...−AIF or use cylinder with integrated measur
ing system type DGPI(L)−...−AIF.
· If you wish to use a linear potentiometer with a slide
under difficult ambient conditions (dusty atmosphere),
fitit so that the side with the actuator slide faces down
wards. The drip edge on both sides prevents excessive
dirt from forming on the running surface.
· If you are using a linear potentiometer, fasten it with the
aid of the clamping brackets supplied so that it is electri
cally insulated from the mounting surface.
