The ball screw inside the actuator is NOT self-locking. Never lift the linear actuator upright from the push rod as the actuators could be back driven by its own weight. Figure 3.1 – Transport and handling Servomech S.p.A. 40.0x.E - Rev. 07 Date (M/Y) 11/19...
Any other use is improper and therefore potentially dangerous for operators safety, as well as it voids the warranty. In event of special needs, please consult our sales office. Any modifications of servo-actuators must be authorized by Servomech S.p.A. by written documents. ANY OTHER DIFFERENT USE IS NOT ADMITTED BY MANUFACTURER. 4.1.2 Use restrictions Servo-actuators can not be used for unforeseen applications.
4.1.3 Environmental conditions The servo-actuator must be used with the environmental conditions prescribed by Servomech S.p.A. All works necessary to obtain and maintain such environmental conditions are in charge by the machinery manufacturer and, if occur, by the end user.
BRUSHLESS SERVOMOTOR MUST BE CONNECTED TO A SERVO-DRIVE, PROPERLY SELECTED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. SERVOMECH S.P.A. IS AT CUSTOMER’S DISPOSAL TO GIVE THE NEEDED SUPPORT FOR SERVO-DRIVE SELECTION AND PROPER USE. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE SERVO-DRIVE INSTRUCTION MANUAL TO COMMISSION, SET AND MAINTAIN THE DRIVES PROPERLY.

For a servo actuator use under nominal performances and standard environment conditions, the lubricating time interval is set to 10 ball screw rotations. In case of heavier or particular working conditions, please contact Servomech S.p.a. to evaluate different lubrication interval. Following table gives all lubricating information for all sizes and versions available.
8 Removal and replacement Servo actuator components may only be dismantled and replaced by Servomech. The only exception to this rule is the disassembling of the motor. The disassembling procedures are described in following sections. 8.1 SA IL – Disassembly of the motor Power transmission between motor and ball screw is made by a coupling.
Power transmission between motor and ball screw is made with a timing belt. To disassemble the motor see the following work steps. Figure 8.3 – SA PD disassembly of the motor Remove the plugs (10), the screws (9) and washers (8).

To remove the motor pulley please see the following work steps. Figure 8.4 – SA PD disassembling of the motor pulley Loosen the locking screw (16) of the pulley (15). React the torque using a wrench on the motor shaft in the area behind the pulley (14).
8.3 SA PD – Belt tensioning Belt tension is adjustable as described in following. Figure 8.6 – Belt tensioning Loosen the four special screws (1) by ¼ ÷ ½ turn. WARNING: during belt tensioning the plate (2) must be in contact with the actuator body (3);...
