Attachment of the stroke pipe

There are two types of stroke pipes available for different types of applications. The stroke pipe can be screwed onto the spindle screw or it can be mounted unattached. The drive only exerts pushing force when the stroke pipe is mounted loosely (unattached). The motions of the drives for these two versions are shown in the following illustrations.

If the stroke pipe is unattached, then the end product can be designed to prevent the stroke pipe from coming out during operations. This can be accomplished by implementing a fixed end stop mechanism (refer to the “Safety notices to observe during installation” in the “Installation” chapter).

Installation

Safety notices to observe during installation

Basic safety rules must be followed in order to ensure that the end product can be continually operated in a safe manner. The following rules must be observed while using the end product and while installing the drive.

Avoiding fatigue fractures

Install the drive in the end product so that it is properly aligned. This will help prevent shear stress.
Do not position the drive at a slanted angle when installing it in the end product. A slanted angle between the intended direction of movement of the end product and the drive’s direction will create shear stress and could lead to a fatigue fracture.
Be sure to install the drive so that it can always move freely in all operative states.
You should never screw the stroke pipe into the drive.

Avoiding an overrun of the stop point with the end product

Your end product should contain mechanical end stops. These will limit the drive movement and significantly increase operational safety. DewertOkin recommends that you build such mechanical end stops into your end product.

Make sure that your operating instructions inform the user of these safety points.

Installation procedure

NOTICE

Mount the drive in its unloaded position within your end product. The drive must either be completely retracted or extended at its end position. Damage to the drive can only be avoided if the drive is installed in its unloaded position. This ensures safe installation.

An installation example

Stroke pipe clevis / Stroke pipe head

A Safety clip
B Bracket for securing the drive (on the stroke pipe side)
C Head of stroke pipe
D Mounting bolt
E Gear clevis F Bracket for securing the drive (on the motor side)

In the following example, the installation of the ALPHADRIVE 5 drive into the end product is shown using the mounting bolt.

Certain details may change because of technical changes.

Move your product into a position where it is supporting no load.
Push the drive’s gear clevis (E) onto the bracket (F).
Insert the mounting bolt (D) into the bracket (F).
Secure the mounting bolt (D) with the safety clip (A)
- NOTICE
  You should never screw the stroke pipe into the drive. A stroke pipe that has been screwed into the drive can result in fatigue fractures.
If the stroke pipe clevis (C) does not align exactly with the gear clevis (E), the stroke pipe may be unscrewed out of the drive by no more than a half-turn.
NOTICE
The stroke pipe may only be turned one-half rotation out of the drive. Do not rotate the stroke pipe further out. An over-rotation can lead to unsafe operations.
Attach the stroke pipe (C) using a mounting bolt (D) to the fitting (B).
Secure the mounting bolt (D) with the safety clip (A).
You may now connect the drive’s electrical connection (refer to section 5.2.2).

Electrical connection

CAUTION

The danger of pinching/crushing injuries!

The electrical components may be connected or disconnected only when the mains power and the battery plug (when present) are disconnected. This ensures that uncontrolled movements cannot be triggered.

If the hand switch will be used to control two drives, you must first connect both drives electrically to each other (for example, over a control unit or double drive). Then you can connect the handset.

Routing the electrical cables

When routing the cables, be sure that:

the cables cannot get jammed,
no mechanical load (such as pulling, pushing or bending) will be put on the cables,
or
the cables cannot be damaged in any way. Fasten all cables (especially the mains cable) to the end product using sufficient strain relief and kink prevention methods. Be sure that the design of the end product prevents the main cable from coming into contact with the floor during transport.

Dismantling

CAUTION

The danger of pinching/crushing injuries!

The electrical components may be connected or disconnected only when the mains power and the battery plug (when present) are disconnected. This ensures that uncontrolled movements cannot be triggered.
Be sure to carry out work on the drive in a position so that no loads are bearing on it. Only in this way can you be sure to avoid any risks of crushing or injury.

Move your product into a position where it is supporting no load.
If multiple drives are connected electrically, they should be disconnected from each other.
Remove the security clips and the mounting bolt.

Notes on operations

These installation instructions do not contain all the information required for the safe operation of the end product. They only describe the installation and operation of the drive as components (as defined in the Machinery Directive as a “partially assembled piece of machinery”).

Power-on time / intermittent operations

The ALPHADRIVE 5 drive has been designed for intermittent operations. Intermittent operation is an operational mode where the drive must pause after a specified maximum period of operation (power-on time). This protects the drive from overheating. Extreme overheating can cause a malfunction.

The rating plate specifies the maximum power-on time and the required pause intervals.

Shutting off the drive

In order to shut off the drive, unplug the mains power plug and the battery plug (when present)! The power plug must always be accessible during operations so that emergency shut-off is possible.

Avoiding cable damage

Be sure that your operating instructions inform the user about the possible cable risks.

NOTICE

The cables (in particular the electrical connection for the drive and the power supply cable for the drive system) must not be squashed or crushed. In order to prevent damage to the drive, no mechanical strain should be placed on the cables.
