Mounting guidelines
LINAK
®
linear actuators are quickly
and easily mounted by slipping pins
through the holes on each end of
the units and into brackets on the
machine frame and the load.
The mounting pins must be parallel
to each other as shown in Figure 1.
Pins, which are not parallel to each
other, may cause the actuator to
bind and be damaged.
The load should act along the
stroke axis of the actuator since
off centre loads may cause
bending and lead to premature
failure. See Figure 2.
Make sure the mounting pins are
supported in both ends. Failure to
do so could shorten the life of the
actuator. Cantilever mounts are
unacceptable.

Warning!
If the actuator is used for pull in an application where personal injury
can occur, the following is valid:
It is the application manufacturer’s responsibility to incorporate a
suitable safety arrangement, which will prevent personal injury from
occurring, if the actuator should fail.
Warning!
LINAK’s actuators are not constructed for use within the following
fields:
• Offshore installations
• Aeroplanes and other aircraft
• Explosive environments
• Nuclear power generation
