Follow these steps to prepare the linear thruster for installation on the machine.
1.
Provide sufficient clearances in the area of the linear thruster for it to stay within its
specified operating temperature range.
Refer to
for the operating temperature range. Do not enclose
the linear thruster unless forced air is blown across the linear thruster for cooling. Keep
other heat producing devices away from the linear thruster.
2.
Make sure the mounting surface supports the linear thruster evenly so that it is free of
mechanical stress and distortion. Evenness of the mounting surface must be within
0.127 mm (0.005 in.).
3.
Attach mounting accessories, shown on
page 57
, to the linear thruster.
4.
Attach slider-end accessories, see on
page 58
, to the work load as outlined below.
Be sure the work load center of gravity is centric to the slider.
Use these torque values to attach a rod eye, rod clevis or payload bracket to the slider.
ATTENTION: Unmounted linear thrusters, disconnected mechanical couplings, and disconnected
cables are dangerous if power is applied.
Appropriately identify (tag-out) disassembled equipment, and restrict (lock-out) access to
electrical power.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in personal injury.

ATTENTION: Damage may occur to the linear thruster bearings and the feedback device
if sharp impact to the slider is applied during installation. Do not strike the slider with
tools during installation or removal.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the linear thruster
and its components.
