Chapter 2 ServoTube 38 Installation Guide Installation Electrical All electrical connections to the XTA and XTB are made via two cables, see Figure 2.3. One carries power to the forcer and the other carries signals from the position sensor. These cables are supplied either pre-terminated for a specific drive or with flying leads.
ServoTube 38 Installation Guide Chapter 3 Maintenance Chapter 3 Maintenance The XTA is low maintenance and as such requires only minimal periodic inspection. The integral bearing is dry running, requiring no lubrication. Periodically: • Check that the thrust rod can move freely over the entire stroke.
