The purpose of the cover is to protect the pillar unit and the connections. TFG 1..: Located under the cover are the connections with the DIN 8 plug for a SKF ❙ control unit, and the optional mains cable and operating element feed through.
With the Hall sensor, the pulse generator picks up impulses from a magnetic disk located on the lead screw. The pulse generator is mainly required for the synchronous running of several pillars. Suitable control units are available from SKF Actuation System. Mains cable feed With the integrated mains cable feed through, external electrical appliances (e.

TFG via the inner and outer tube. Preconditions for operation TFG 1..: The TFG is driven by the corresponding SKF control unit and the corresponding SKF operating element (see Accessories, page 16). TFG 5.., TFG 9..: The control is driven via the integrated control unit and the correspond- ing SKF operating element.

If required, protect your telescopic pillar with appropriate protective measures. The SKF control unit must be connected to mains electricity. It is operated by a SKF operating element (see Accessories, page 16). Please note: Excessive current consumption, unusual noises or an independent downward movement indicate a damaged pillar.
Special operations The following chapters are part of the special operations: 5. Installation and initial start-up, page 19 ■ 6. Maintenance, clearing malfunctions, repairs, page 26 ■ 7. Removing from service, dismantling and disposal, page 31 ■ Installation and initial start-up This chapter is intended for technicians and those doing the further processing.
(Mb) of 500 Nm must not be exceeded at the bottom mounting plate. If necessary, the outer tube must be supported by suitable measures (see Fig. 5- ■ 2, page 22). In the case of higher eccentric loads, please contact your local SKF representative ■ (Manufacturer address, page 6).

Installation and initial start-up Important: Metal fastening plates are not grounded through the TFG. If additional electrical devices are attached you must ensure that the connection meets the in- sulation requirements for protection class II. Installation WARNING Warning against hand injuries caused by trapping. Do not let any object or person come into contact with the inner tube and/or the final plate while the motor is running.

TFG is not used with a suitable SKF control unit / operating element. Only for TFG 1..: If the telescopic pillar is used with an non SKF control unit, the control unit must be equipped with an overcurrent protection in order to protect the telescopic pillar against overload.
■ Magnetic operating element connected to the control unit ■ Initial start-up After the installation check has been completed, you can start up the telescopic pillar TFG: To do so, press the corresponding operating button of the SKF operating element.
Maintenance, clearing malfunctions, repairs This chapter is intended for technicians and those doing the further processing. It provides you with all the information you need for maintaining, clearing malfunc- tions and carrying out repairs on the telescopic pillar TFG. Maintenance Maintenance includes all operations which keep the telescopic pillar fully functional.
Any faults occuring in the telescopic pillar TFG may only be rectified by a technician authorized by the manufacturer. In this case the TFG must be removed from service (see section Shutting down, page 31) and sent to SKF Actuation System (see section Trans- port, page 19).

Check the type plate of the operating element. Finding: Is the manufacturer of the operating elements SKF Actuation System and is it approved for the TFG? Yes......Manufacturer address, page 6 No .
Maintenance, clearing malfunctions, repairs Remove all objects that impede the stroke. Remove all loads on the elements. Finding: Still elevated running noises? Yes......Manufacturer address, page 6 No .
Secure the elements in such a way that there is no pulling or pushing force resting on the TFG. Only for TFG 1..: Pull the DIN 8 plug out of the SKF control unit. Pull the plug of the operating element out of the connection for the operating ele- ment.
Removing from service, dismantling and disposal Disposal The pillar is primarily made from recyclable materials. Specialized companies can sepa- rate the recyclable materials and therefore minimize the quantity of materials requiring disposal. The pillar must be disposed of in a technically correct manner in accordance with local regulations.
