Mounting Of Force Sensors - Parker ETH Series Operating / Mounting Instructions

Parker EME
Figure 9: Mounting of the payload
Connect the payload always with the end of the thrust rod so that occurring lateral
forces are minimized. Please observe the admissible lateral forces to the cylinder
rod If the payload is separately guided, even minimal deviations between this
guiding system and the cylinder length axis can generate high lateral forces and
reduce the service life of the electro cylinder considerably.
The possibilities to avoid this problem:
Use a flexible coupling at the thrust rod end.

This coupling can compensate up to 3 mm axial offset and up to 10° angular
offset.
Use other thrust rod connection elements (accessories), which are able to

compensate certain deviations such as rod clevis or spherical rod eye
Use a flexible cylinder fixing device (accessories) such as rear clevis or center

trunnion.
Do only use the rod ends supplied by Parker.
Only use the nut delivered with the rod end option M as counter screw.
The connection provided from the customer is always screwed in the thread of
option M.

Mounting of force sensors

For mounting the force sensor please observe the attached operating instructions
respective for the force sensors!
In ETH ATEX cylinders only certified force sensors must be used:
Area 1 (Category 2G)

Explosive range IIB resp. IIC.

Temperature class 4.

For the ETH ATEX cylinder only use the force sensors of the catalogue which are
ATEX certified.
