KEC • the design type DNCKE integrated in the cylinder In these operating instructions, the designation round material is used for: • The transportation lock for KEC • The piston rod for DNCKE Festo — DNCKE-...-S / KEC-...-S — 2020-10e...
Lateral loads and bending moments exerted on the round material damage its function and destroy the internal clamping component. • Load the round material only in the direction of movement. The use of a self-aligning rod coupler (è 3 Further information) prevents lateral forces. Festo — DNCKE-...-S / KEC-...-S — 2020-10e...
