Operation environment

The operation temperature range is between -20 to +70° Celcius. The protection degree against the ingress of water and particles is IP65.

General mounting guidelines
The unit can be mounted in any direction but do not mount the actuator so that the cover tube is subjected to any bending or twisting forces.

Mount the actuator so that the the maximum permissible load and load torques for the input shaft or the extension tube never are exceeded during standstill or operation. See Table T6.1.1 for load and load torque data for each model.

Make sure to install the actuator so that the extension tube never runs into the mechanical end stops. The distance between the mechanical end stops (Send) is the ordering stroke (Smax) plus 2.5 (± 0.5) mm of extra travel in both ends (Safe).

• Warning! Do not hold the extension tube while the unit is energized.
• Warning! The extension tube is not self-holding – in a vertical application a brake is required to hold the load at a standstill. If it is removed the extension tube may start moving with the possible risk of injury to people or damage to the equipment.
• Warning! Never run into the mechanical ends of the unit.

Mounting of the unit using the mounting holes
All PC-Series actuators have mounting holes in the front plate while the parallel style also has mounting holes in the rear plate on the belt gear. The mounting holes can be used to attach the unit to the support or to the mounting accessories designed for the purpose (see point 4.7). Make sure to follow the general mounting guidelines (see point 4.4) when using the mounting holes.

Mounting of the unit using the front plate mounting holes
See the below drawings for the hole pattern, size and thread depth of the front mounting holes. Note that the mounting holes on PC32 and PC40 have a 14 mm long unthreaded part before the thread starts.

The extension tube can handle some side load (see table T6.1.1 for load and load torque data for each model) but to improve overall performance and life it is good practice to follow the below points even if the side loads do not exceed the maximum permitted levels.

• Make sure the extension tube travels in a straight line about the cover tube.
• Try to align the centre of the load with the extension tube travel centre.
• Avoid side loads altogether if possible.

Mounting of the unit using the mounting accessories
The unit can be shipped with mounting accessories mounted from the factory, in this case, the designation on the nameplate and the ordering key (table T6.2.1) will help you determine which accessory the unit is equipped with and which mounting instruction below to follow. Some of these mounting accessories can also be ordered as seperate parts and be mounted to the actuator by the customer. In this case, you have to determine which accessories (see the part number on the accessory packaging labels) and actuator models (see the nameplate) you have and select appropriate instructions. If in doubt, contact customer support.

Service and maintenance

• General
  Regularly perform ocular control of the PC-Series unit and the installation it is a part of and service and repair if needed. If in doubt, please contact Thomson for advice.

• Cleaning
  The PC-Series actuators are designed to withstand water washdown. If the actuator needs to be cleaned, clean it gently and do not use any tools that mechanically can damage the actuator. If detergents are to be used during cleaning it is recommended to stay within pH 3.5 – 8.5.

• Lubrication
  Lubrication is needed after 600 hours of operation or 6 months depending on which happens first. Perform lubrication as described below.

1. Make sure the extension tube is fully retracted to the mechanical end position. Retraction to the mechanical end position may only be done if the actuator is unloaded and the retraction motion may not exceed the maximum torque and speed listed in Table T5.3.1. Failing to do so may damage the actuator. Once in the mechanical end position, the retraction must be stopped immediately.
