TL-Series Electric Cylinders 3 Catalog Number Explanation Catalog numbers consist of various characters, each identifies a specific version or option for that component. Use the catalog numbering chart below to understand the configuration of your actuator. TL AR - xx xxx x - x x A Motor Mounting (1) A = Axial (in-line) Holding Brake (1) 2 = No Brake 4 = 24V DC Brake Feedback (1) B = Multi-turn, absolute 17-bit encoder, battery backed Mechanical Drive/Screw Lead, Motor Type B = 3.0 mm/rev (0.118 in.
TL-Series Electric Cylinders About the TL-Series Electric Cylinders TL-Series electric cylinders feature multi-turn high resolution encoders and are available with 24V DC brakes. The TL-Series motor rotates a ballscrew drive that converts rotary motion into linear movement. This linear movement results in the piston rod extending and retracting from the electric cylinder housing. IMPORTANT The TLAR-Axxxxx-x2A electric cylinders are non-braking.
TL-Series Electric Cylinders 5 Before You Begin Remove all packing material, wedges, and braces from within and around the item. After unpacking, verify the nameplate catalog number against the purchase order. 1. Remove packaging polyethylene foil and cardboard. The packing materials are recyclable, except for oiled paper that is waste. 2. Remove the electric cylinder carefully from its shipping container. Consider the weight of the electric cylinder.
TL-Series Electric Cylinders • Factory manufactured feedback and power cables are available in standard cable lengths. They provide environmental sealing and shield termination. Contact your Rockwell Automation sales office or refer to the selection guide for cables. Electric Cylinders with Brake Option The brake option on this servo motor is a spring-set holding brake that releases when voltage is applied to the brake coil. A separate power source is required to disengage the brake.
TL-Series Electric Cylinders 7 Preventing Electrical Noise Electromagnetic interference (EMI), commonly called electrical noise, can reduce motor performance. Effective techniques to counter EMI include filtering the AC power, using shielded cables, separating signal cables from power wiring, and practicing good grounding techniques. Follow these guidelines to avoid the effects of EMI: • Isolate the power transformers or install line filters on all AC input power lines.
TL-Series Electric Cylinders ATTENTION: Make sure that cables are installed and restrained to prevent uneven tension or flexion at the cable connectors. Excessive and uneven lateral force at the cable connectors can result in the connector’s environmental seal opening and closing as the cable flexes. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the electric cylinder motor and its components.
TL-Series Electric Cylinders 9 4. Attach rod-end accessories and the work load. Be sure the work load center of gravity is centric to the piston rod. ATTENTION: Damage can occur to the electric cylinder bearings and the feedback device if sharp impact to the piston rod is applied during installation. Do not strike the piston rod with tools during installation or removal. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the electric cylinder and its components.
TL-Series Electric Cylinders Mount the Electric Cylinder 1. Use stainless steel fasteners to mount your electric cylinder to your application. 2. Attach power and feedback cables and use a drip loop in the cable to keep liquids away from the motor. Power Connector Feedback Connector Drip Loop BURN HAZARD: Outer surfaces of the motor can reach high temperatures, 65 °C (149 °F), during electric cylinder operation. Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces.
