Modifications on the RM rotary module that are not described in these Montage Instructions or have not been approved in writing by Afag Automation AG are not permitted. In case of improper changes or assembly, installation, operation and maintenance or repairs Afag rejects all liability.
3.1.2 General description This is an incomplete machine The series of the RM 63 Rotary module is used for the rotation, smooth movement of rigidly mounted loads under the ambient and Installation conditions defined, see Technical data. The Installation situation of the modules RM 63 can occur vertically as horizontally.
Special mention is given to type-specific information. RM 63 The RM 63 rotary module is a pneumatically powered module for the rotation of weights within extremely limited spaces. The module possesses torque rating of up to a max. of 27.5 Nm and can rotate weights from 0° to 180°. The end positions are damped and precision ad-justable throughout the stroke range by means of stop screws.
(9) of the intermediate cylinder meshes an activation into the rack (4) and is then moved horizontal. The stroke limit of the intermediate position cylinder is adjusted by means of a second pair of stop screws (10) and buffered with one Afag shock absorber (11) (Fig.6).
Modifications on the module that are not described in these Montage Instructions or have not been approved in writing by Afag are not permitted. In case of improper changes or assembly, installation, operation, maintenance or repairs, Afag rejects all liability.
Wear parts (e.g. shock absorbers) are not covered by the warranty. * The warranty covers the replacement or repair of defective Afag parts. No further claims will be accepted. The warranty will be voided in event of the following: ...

Limbs may be squeezed by moving components. Make sure that there are no persons or tools within the operating range of the module. Carry out a test run at first at slow traverse speed, afterwards under operating conditions. RM 63-OI-vers. 2.8 gb.20190328...
6.5mm or with an angle proximity switch holder and 8x8mm proximity switch for end of travel interrogation. Exemple: RM 63 with 160° rotation angle 1. Unscrew the shock-absorbers (1). 2. Apply compressed air to (P1). The pinion shaft (2) turns in anti-clockwise direction as far as the limit determined by the stop screw (3) (Fig.15).
(8) (Fig.16-2) CAUTION The stop screws (2,6) must limit the angle of rotation and not the shock absorbers (3,7)! If the shock absorbers are used as a stop, they may be damaged and become unusable. RM 63-OI-vers. 2.8 gb.20190328...
8. Isolate the compressed air to (P2) and apply compressed air to (P4): The intermediate position cylinder (5) uncouples and returns to ist initial position (Fig.17-4). CAUTION The stop screws must limit the angle of rotation and not the shock absorbers! RM 63-OI-vers. 2.8 gb.20190328...
LED does not change its switching condition on end of travel interrogation, then the proximity switch is faulty and must be replaced!

If shock absorbers are missing, defective or incorrectly set up, the functionality of the module will be compromised and may lead to its destruction! 4.1.0 Maintenance and servicing of the RM 63 CAUTION The module may only be disassembled when the system is aerated and deactivated.
4.1.1 Servicing The RM 63 rotary module is lubricated for-life and can be operated with oiled and unoiled air. CAUTION Never operate the RM 63 rotary module with unoiled air after it was operated with oiled air! Air characteristics: ...
4.1.3 Disassembly and repair When the module is damaged it can be returned to Afag automation AG for repair. CAUTION The module may only be disassembled when the system is aerated and deactivated. If pneumatic connections are disconnected when they are under pressure, this may result in serious personal injury due to fast movements of moving parts.
