Mounting guidelines - Trunnion mounted
We recommend to orientate the motor housing downwards as shown above. This is to protect the cables against
rain and hail. If possible, the motor should be protected against sun, rain and hail, this prolonges the liftetime of
the actuator.
Please be aware that if the LA37 is used for solar applications the actuator must be mounted with the
motor housing turned upwards and the wires pointing downwards.
Warning!
If the actuator is used for pull in an application where personal injury can occur, the
following is valid:
It is the application manufacturer's responsibility to incorporate a suitable safety arrangement, which will
prevent personal injury from occurring, if the actuator should fail.
Warning!
LINAK's actuators are not designed for use within the following fields:
• Offshore installations
• Aeroplanes and other aircraft
If a current peak is appearing (25 A) during normal operation, there is a risk of failure at the internal limit
switches. The actuators must be stopped and inspected by a service technician.
We strongly recommend to protect the application against overload by adding overcurrent protection.
Please note:
• The mounting pins must have the correct dimension
• The bolts and nuts must be made of a high quality steel grade (e.g. 10.8).
No thread on the bolt inside the back fixture or the piston rod eye
• Bolts and nuts must be protected so there is no risk for them to fall out
• Explosive environments
• Nuclear power generation
