    NO PERSON INCLUDING ANY AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF EXLAR IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ON BEHALF OF EXLAR CONCERNING ANY PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED BY EXLAR, EXCEPT TO REFER PURCHASERS TO THIS WARRANTY. Curtiss-Wright | EL30 Rev. H PN23942 6/14/16...
  • Page 4: Safety Considerations

    EL Series actuators are not rated for operation in atmospheres containing acetylene. It is the responsibility of the user to provide for properly rated conduit connections to the EL Series actuator. Exlar takes no system responsibility beyond the actuator ratings. Curtiss-Wright | EL30 Rev. H PN23942 6/14/16...
  • Page 5: System Configuration

    Damage to equipment and injury to personnel can result. Many amplifiers have voltage present for a considerable time period after incoming power is removed. Take care to insure that the amplifier has discharged all power. Typical System Connections Curtiss-Wright | EL30 Rev. H PN23942 6/14/16...
  • Page 6: Typical System Wiring

    In some cases, if the proper current limits are not set in the amplifier, mis-wiring of the feedback cable can lead to damage of the motor. Curtiss-Wright | EL30 Rev. H PN23942 6/14/16...
  • Page 7: Installation And Operation

    Excessive side load on the output rod of the actuator will dramatically reduce the life of the actuator and should be avoided completely. Side load can be caused from misalignment or loading that is not in line with the actuator output rod. Curtiss-Wright | EL30 Rev. H PN23942 6/14/16...
  • Page 8: Mounting Considerations

    Care should be taken not to exceed the physical travel limits of EL Series Actuators. Doing so will cause the actuator to end- crash internally. End crashes can physically damage the roller screw and the internal components of the actuator. Curtiss-Wright | EL30 Rev. H PN23942 6/14/16...

    Tighten the nuts simultaneously by partially tightening each in an opposing corner pattern until each is torqued to the rated value shown below. EL30: 90 lbf-in (7.5 lbf-ft, 10.16 N-m) 4.4 Seal Maintenance It is recommended that at the suggested time of lubrication the main rod seal and bushing assembly (FSB) be replaced.
