Safety This chapter provides an overview of important safety precautions and information necessary for safe and trouble-free installation, operation and maintenance . Disregarding this Manual and safety precautions specified therein may result in considerable danger and possible serious injury or death .
dent prevention guidelines and environmental precautions regula- tions applicable to the site of the system’s installation: • Inform themselves of applicable industrial safety precautions and determine additional hazards that arise due to the specific work- ing conditions prevailing at the site where the actuator is installed using risk assessment .
• A professional electrician based on his/her professional training, know-how and experience as well as knowledge of the applicable standards and regulations is able to perform work on electrical systems and to detect and avoid possible dangers on his/her own . The professional electrician has been trained for the special location where he/she works and knows the relevant standards and regulations .
Moving components W a r n i n g Danger of injury caused by moving components! Rotating and/or linearly moving components can cause severe injury . Therefore: • Do not work on or place any of your body, hands, or arms near moving components .

. If clutch activates, switch off power immediately . C a u t i o n Clutch activation can cause the limit switch to stop functioning . If this happens, have an SKF engineer adjust it so that it again operates properly .
Changes and modifications on the actuator To avoid hazardous situations and to ensure optimal performance, do not make any changes or modifications to the actuator unless they have been specifically authorized by SKF .
Technical data Note! The technical data (dimensions, weight, output, connec- tion values etc .) can be found in the enclosed drawings and data sheets († Appendix) . Operating conditions Environment Information Value Unit Temperature range –40 to +85 °C Relative atmospheric humidity, maximum up to 85 (no build up of condensation) Duration (intermittent)
Brief description Overview Fig. 3 This actuator is to be used exclusively for installation into a dynamic centric-compression or tensile-loaded lift . The linear actuator consists of a motor part (3) and a linear unit (5), connected with each other by a bayonet joint . The actuator consists of a direct current motor with spur gear which sets in motion a trapezoidal sliding spindle system with shaft joint .
C a u t i o n Clutch activation can cause the limit switch to stop functioning . If this happens, have an SKF engineer adjust it so that it again operates properly . C a u t i o n Incorrect activation of clutch could cause actuator damage .
The limit switch makes it possible to control the stroke of the linear unit by internal setting . W a r n i n g If mechanical overload protection unit activates, the limit switch can malfunction. Contact the SKF to adjust the setting of limit switch .
4.6.2 Potentiometer The potentiometer provides a signal indicating the postion of the lin- ear actuator . There are two types of settings for the potentiometer wire . • Linear actuator with potentiometer and limit switch units: colours of wire are white, red and black († Fig. 11) . •...
Note storage requirements for return transport to the manu- facturer († Chapter Storage) . Transport inspection The CAHB-20 linear actuator is delivered as one packaged unit in a box or on pallets . Check the delivery for completeness and damage due to transport immediately upon receipt .
Return to the manufacturer Proceed as follows for the return transport: Dismantle the actuator if necessary ( † Chapter Dismantling) . Pack the actuator in its original packaging . Follow storage condi- tions († Chapter Storage) . page 2 . Send to manufacturer .
Storage Pack the actuator in its original packaging for storage . • Do not store outside . • Dry and dust-free storage . • Keep away from any aggressive media . • Protect from UV radiation . • Avoid mechanical vibrations . •...
Installation and first operation Authorized personnel • The installation and first start of operation may only be conducted by qualified personnel . • Work on the electric system may only be performed by trained electricians . W a r n i n g Electrical equipment Electric shock and moving parts hazards Serious injury or death can be caused by touching live electrical...
Install in a location where the actuator is not exposed to strong UV radiation or corrosive or explosive air media . Installation The CAHB-20 linear actuator is attached to two elements via the hinge heads . Connect the hinge heads ( 1 and 2, Fig.
Page 23
Ensure that the applied force on the fastening bolts is always cen- trically directed on the actuator († Fig. 7) . Fig. 7 W a r n i n g Risk of injury and material damage due to incorrect installation! During installation, do not subject the actuator to side-impact or to turning forces .
Inspections prior to first operation Prior to the first operation, a professional electrician must perform and document the following tests and readings: • Check visual condition • Function check of operating features and safety features • Reading of protective conductor resistance •...
Operation Safety D a n g e r Risk of crushing! Actuator may cause serious injuries while moving . Therefore: • Ensure that there are no persons in the stroke area of the actuator while in operation . • Take note of maximum permissible operating data for the actuator .
C a u t i o n Material damage through overheating! Therefore: • Only use control integrated thermal switch . † technical data in Chapter 11 • Never exceed nominal load . ( Appendix) . • Always adhere to idle times and operating times . (†...
7.3.1 Normal operation During normal operation, the linear actuator lifts and lowers the elements that are connected with the CAHB-20 linear actuator via the hinge head . The linear actuator can directly connect to electrical grid or be controlled by an operating element .
