Linear Actuator LA36 | 6 During operation, please be aware of the following: • Listen for unusual sounds and watch out for uneven running. Stop the actuator immediately if anything unusual is observed. • Only use the actuator within the specified working limits. • Do not step on or kick the actuator. When the equipment is not in use: • Switch off the mains supply in order to prevent unintentional operation. • Check regularly for extraordinary wear. Classification The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. Warnings • Do not sideload the actuator. • When mounting the actuator in the application ensure that the bolts can withstand the wear and that they are secured safely. • If irregularities are observed, the actuator must be replaced. • The standard actuator (without Integrated Controller) without clutch, is not allowed to run into a mechanical block -before reaching the end of stroke. Recommendations • Do not place load on the actuator housing. • Prevent impact or blows, or any other form of stress to the housing. • Ensure that the cable cover is mounted correctly. Use 3.5 Nm torque. • Ensure that the duty cycle and the usage temperatures for LA36 actuators are respected. • Ensure that the cable cannot be squeezed, pulled or subjected to any other stress. • Furthermore, it will be good practice to ensure that the actuator is fully retracted in the “normal” position. The reason is that there will be a negative pressure inside the actuator if it is extended which over time can lead to water entering the actuator. Warning This ATEX User Manual is an appendix to the Product User Manual - applicable for ATEX/IECEx/CCC approved actuators only. All information not regarded to ATEX/IECEx/CCC will be found in the Product User Manual. If there should be any differences between the Product User Manual and this document, regarding to ATEX, -this document is valid. Note that this product is NOT to be used within flammable gas filled environments.

Measuring method: DS/EN ISO 3746 (actuator not loaded) • Off-highway Features: - 12 or 24 V DC brushed permanent magnetic motor - Load from 1,700 N - 6,800 N (depending on gear ratio and spindle pitch) - Max. speed 7 mm/sec. to 100 mm/sec. (depending on gear ratio and spindle pitch) - Reinforced aluminium housing for harsh conditions - IPC-A-610 Class 3 (High-performance electronic products) - IP54 without cable mounted IP69K (static) with cable mounted with shell or moulded cable An Off-highway vehicle is intended for use on steep or uneven ground and includes those used for construction or agriculture. They are specifically designed for off-road use. Quad bikes, dirt bikes, dune buggies and other types of all-terrain vehicles are also types of Off-highway vehicles, although their function is very different from motor vehicles designed for industrial and farming use.
