SS Actuator
When using the Robo Cylinder actuator and controller to build an application system, it is important to position and lay out the cable correctly. If
this is not done, the cable may snap or have a faulty connection that could lead to a variety of problems which in turn could cause the actuator to run
out of control. Below, we explain the things not to do to ensure that the cables are connected in the correct fashion.
Ten “Do’s and Don’ts” When Laying Out Cable (Please make sure to observe these rules!)
(1)
Make sure there is no excessive bending at one spot.
Steel band
(pianowire)
Bundle loosely
(2)
Do not twist or crease the cable.
(5)
Do not place the cable under excess tension.
(3)
Do not exerte a rotational force at a single spot on the cable.
(6)
When affixing the cable, do not clamp it too tightly.
(4)
Do not let the cable be caught in anything, or get dented or cut.
Do not use spiral tubing on a section
of the cable that bends frequently.
Use a
spiral cord
OK
