2.3 Identification of the product Every linear actuator is provided with a nameplate, which allows the product identification and gives technical information about the product. Product description (the mining of symbols and their sequence are indicated on the catalogue); Product code: is an alphanumeric code stating the type of the linear actuator 3) Serial number: is the identification number of the actuator which identifies the exact design of the product even after a long time;...
In the event of particular processing requirements, we recommend consulting our sales department. Every modification must be authorized by SNT with written documents. ANY OTHER USE OUTSIDE THAT THAT JUST DESCRIBED IS NOT PERMITTED BY SNT 4.1.1 Use restrictions Actuators can not be used for unforeseen applications.
4.1.2 Standard operating conditions The actuator must be used in an environment whose conditions comply with the provisions of SNT. The works necessary for obtaining and maintaining that conditions are in charge of the owner and, where applicable, are in charge of the end user.
6 INSTALLATION The operations described in the paragraphs of this chapter provide both electrical and mechanical connections of the actuator, as well as the execution of test motions at reduced speed and motor torque or with small displacement steps. 6.1 Safety warnings MOTORS CANNOT BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE ELETRICITY GRID.
6.2 FCE electric stroke limit switches The ELECTRIC STROKE LENGTH LIMIT DEVICE allows to limit the actuator stroke length avoiding to reach the extreme positions (mechanical stop) and preventing damage. The FCE device consists of 2 normally closed electric switches installed inside a sealed box made in engineering plastic or aluminium alloy.
6.3 FCM magnetic stroke limit switches The magnetic stroke end switches FCM allow to limit the actuator stroke length avoiding to reach the extreme positions (mechanical stop) and preventing damage. Using more switches it is also possible to set intermediate positions along the actuator stroke length. The stroke end switches must be fixed on the external tube and are activated by a toroidal magnetic field independently of their angular position.

Check if the push rod shifting direction is compatible to the indications on the control unit, by powering the electric motor on VERY BRIEFLY. Figure 6.9 – Push rod shifting directions If the push rod shifting directions are not compatible: A) ACTUATOR WITH THREE-PHASE MOTOR: invert any wire pair (U1 ...
• Fit the actuator to the plant in order to have ONLY axial load applied to the actuator. • Check the correct alignment between front and rear pins: they must be PARALLEL. • Check the correct alignment between the actuator and the moving parts. Figure 6.11 –...
7 COMMISSIONING AND USE Linear actuators are supplied lubricated and ready to be used. Before to start commissioning and activation, the following checks must be carried out: Shifting direction check Check if the push rod shifting direction is compatible to the indications on the control unit, by powering the electric motor on VERY BRIEFLY.
