User Manual-MA2 Glossary The following terms and acronyms are being used in this manual. Vm+: The positive pole of power input. Vm-: The negative pole of power input. RPM: Number of turns per minute. AWG: American wiring gauge.
Target Personnel Please allow qualified mechanical and electrical professionals to perform all installation, maintenance and replacement of the TiMOTION products. Please keep the products away from people who do not have the required experiences or knowledge of the product. Warranty In general, TiMOTION provides a 24-month warranty on Industrial Motion actuators based on the manufacturing date.
TiMOTION reserves the right to change it. Support If any technical support or information is needed for this product, please contact your TiMOTION sales engineer. You can also visit https://www.TiMOTION.com/en for the product or contact information.
User Manual-MA2 Be sure that the connection bolts are secured safely and can withstand the wear. Stop the actuator immediately if anything unusual is observed. Ensure there is no side load present on the actuator. Only use the actuator within the specified working limits.
User Manual-MA2 2. Installation Mechanical installation 2.1.1 Mounting notice Use solid mounting pins with the proper dimension and support them at both ends. Note Correct Wrong Please mount the actuator with the mounting pins of correct dimension and without threaded at both ends of the attachments.
User Manual-MA2 2.1.2 Manual drive operation In case of a power failure, a manual hand crank can be used. Before performing, the power supply needs to be disconnected. When mounting the actuator, ensure there is enough space between the rear adapter and any objects.
User Manual-MA2 2.1.3 Outer tube reed sensor adjustment The external limit switches are mounted in the two slots at the side of the cover tube. Use the 2.5mm Allen key inner hexagon to position and lock the reed sensor.
User Manual-MA2 Electrical installation 2.2.1 Important notice Make sure the leads/cables leading to the motor are rated to handle the maximum current. To reduce the chance of a crushing hazard, we recommend an emergency stop. If you are not using soft stop on a DC-motor, a short peak of high voltage will be sent towards the power ...
User Manual-MA2 2.2.2 Cable The actuator is supplied with a power cable (with/without signal wire). The standard cable, for industrial applications, has/have flying leads in the end for the user’s equipment connections. *Please refer to the approved drawing of any customized cable/connector.
User Manual-MA2 2.2.3 Inrush current When the actuator starts to work, there is an inrush current to the motor that will be less than 0.2 seconds (up to four times the rated current). Please select a power supply that is able to withstand the inrush current. Also, all contacts, including switches and relay, should be chosen with caution.
Limitations for limit switches output signals In general, the MA2 cable can have a maximum of 6 pins– (2 power wire pins and/or up-to 4 signal wire pins) The function limitations for limit switches to output signals are shown in the table below:...
User Manual-MA2 2.3.2 Two limit switches to cut the current (without signal output) The actuator is equipped with two limit switches to cut the current of the motor when the actuator moves to the end of each stroke and without any output signal.
User Manual-MA2 2.3.3 Two limit switches to cut the current and an additional limit switch for signal output The actuator is equipped with two limit switches to cut the current of the motor when the actuator moves to the end of each stroke, and an additional limit switch sends out the signal at specific stroke positions.
User Manual-MA2 2.3.4 Two limit switches to cut current and send signal The actuator is equipped with two limit switches to cut current of the motor and send signal when the actuator moves to the end of each stroke. Black...
User Manual-MA2 2.3.5 Two limit switches and a single Hall sensor The actuator is equipped with two limit switches to cut the current of the motor when the actuator moves to the end of each stroke and with a single Hall sensor sending position signal output.
User Manual-MA2 2.3.6 Two limit switches and double Hall sensors The actuator is equipped with two limit switches to cut the current of the motor when the actuator moves to the end of each stroke, and with double Hall sensors sending position signal output.
User Manual-MA2 2.3.7 Two limit switches and POT The actuator is equipped with two limit switches to cut the current of the motor when the actuator moves to the end of each stroke, and with POT position signal output. Black...
User Manual-MA2 2.3.8 Two limit switches with POT to cut the current and an additional limit switch for signal output The actuator is equipped with two limit switches to cut the current of the motor when the actuator moves to the end of each stroke, and an additional limit switch sends out the signal at specific stroke positions, along with POT position signal output.
