1. GUIDELINES, STANDARDS AND CONDITIONS 1.1 Applicable guidelines and standards The Ridder RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motor complies with the provisions of the European guidelines that follow: Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC | Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC | EMC Directive 2004/108/EC The harmonized standards (or parts of these standards) that follow are applicable:...
Work without professional competence or not obeyed warning instructions could cause injury and/or material damage. • Ridder is not responsible for injury, material damage or consequential damage if accessories that Ridder did not make are used. If you do not obey the safety instructions that follow it can be dangerous and cause injury.
Because of the forces in the systems (in which the tube motor is installed), Ridder cannot be sure that there will be no injury to persons or damage to the system.
3.1 Description The Ridder RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motor is built-in to a 50 mm aluminium tube (wall thickness 1.5 mm) and suitable for use with 50 mm winding tubes. Because it is built-in it is possible to wind around the full width of the tube motor.
Components RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motors To operate the roller-screen system more components are necessary to complete the drive system. The illustration and table that follow show an overview of the Ridder components that are applicable to the RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ tube motor. Position Description RB50Eᵖˡᵘˢ...
