Chapter 1. Setting Up
Part 4 Cabling Precautions
When using the IA 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
(piano wire)
Bundle loosely
2
Do not twist or crease the cable.
3
Do not stretch the cable too tautly.
4
Do not exert rotational force at a single spot on the cable. 5
When affixing the cable, do not clamp it too tightly.
6
Do not cut, dent or let the cable get caught in something.
Do not use spiral tubing on a section
of the cable that bends frequently.
Use a
spiral cord
