Fitting the pneumatic components
Setting the slide speed
Screw a one-way flow control valve of type GRLA-... into the compressed air
S
ports.
Fitting in a vertical or diagonal position
Warning
If there is a drop in pressure, the work mass will slide down. Moving masses can
cause injury to people or damage to property (danger of fingers being
squashed).
S Check whether non-return valves of type HGL-... are required here.
In this way you can prevent the work mass from sliding down.
Definition: work mass = mass of work load + slide mass
Select the compressed air ports.
S
In addition to the compressed air
ports (A) provided at the factory,
there are also the alternative ports
(B, C). These are fitted with blanking
plugs.
L slide position left
R slide position right
Fitting the electric components
If you are using proximity switches to scan positions:
Avoid fastening the cylinder directly onto ferritic parts.
S
Make sure that the minimum distance be-
S
tween static or moving ferritic masses and
the proximity switches type SME/SMT-10-...
corresponds to the values specified in Fig. 17.
In this way you will avoid incorrect switching
as a result of external influences.
