Mounting The P-73X - PI P­73 Series User Manual

5 Installation
5.3 Mounting the P­73x
NOTICE
Warping the P­73x when mounting onto uneven surfaces!
The P-73x could warp if mounted on an uneven surface. Warping reduces the accuracy.
 Mount the P­73x onto a flat surface. The recommended flatness of the surface is ≤20 µm.
 For applications with large temperature changes:
Mount the P-73x only onto surfaces that have the same or similar thermal expansion
properties as the P-73x.
NOTICE
Tensile stress on piezo actuator due to mounting in wrong orientation!
The P-73x is intended for mounting in horizontal orientation (standing on a surface, not
suspended). Mounting in other orientations can cause tensile stress that reduces the preload
and destroys the piezo actuator.
 If you want to mount the P-73x in a different orientation to that intended (e.g., vertically or
upside down), contact our customer service department (p. 35).
