 Any mounting position is permitted (horizontal, vertical or
diagonal).
· Note that in conjunction with the SPC200, the complete
stroke of the drive must not be used.
Permitted work stroke = stroke length minus stroke
reduction
On each side of the drive positioning must not take place in
the range of the stroke reduction (see also chapter 3.4).
 The best possible positioning behaviour
can be
achieved if you use only 80 % of the stroke length of
the drive, symmetrically to the two end positions.
If demands placed on the positioning behaviour are
only slight, observe at least the following stroke re
ductions in both end positions:
Piston j [mm]
32 40 50 63 80
Stroke reductionper end position
with pneumatic cushioning [mm]
10 10 15 15 15
Stroke reduction per end position
with PPV cushioning [mm]
25 25 30 30 35
· Drives with adjustable end position cushioning (PPV): 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 positioning range by shock
absorbers, also in the case of a cylinder with adjustable
cushioning. In this way you can avoid damage in the
event of operating and system faults.
