EPCO
Fitting in a vertical or sloping position:
Warning
Uncontrolled moving loads can cause personal
injury and material damage (risk of crushing).
If a spindle nut fracture occurs inside the EPCO,
the loads will slide down.
• Check whether additional external safety
measures to protect against spindle nut frac-
ture are necessary (e.g. toothed latches or
moveable bolts). In this way you can prevent
the load from sliding down.
Installing the effective load
• Place the centre of gravity of the effective load, if possible,
centrally to the piston rod.
• When securing the effective load make sure that no torque
is transferred to the piston rod.
The wrench flat 6 can be used to exert counter pressure.
• Secure the effective load to the piston rod.
The piston rod will bend depending on the effective load
( Appendix 13 Characteristic curves).
