1 LINEAR ACTUATORS AND GEAR BOXES SELECTION CRITERIA GENERAL WARNING Actuators and gear boxes are devices meant to be installed into larger machines therefore they cannot be considered as safety devices (see EC law CE 89/392 and further CE 91-368,93/44,93/68). They are not elements that shall discriminate, with their use or with their fault, safeguard of people’s safety and health. Thus it is not allowed to use MecVel products as safety devices. INSTALLATION, USE, MAINTENANCE AND WASTE GUIDELINES MecVel recommendations: • • • • • A ctuators and gear boxes being installed by qualified and authorised...

1 PUSH ROD Push rods can be aluminium made for actuators whose loads are low, thick chrome-plated steel for those who stand high loads or stainless steel for special applications like in food industries. ACTUATOR AND GEAR BOX APPLICATION FIELDS Actuators and gear boxes can be used in several fields and various machineries. To give an example of how different can be the applications needing actuators we can list a few like: adjusting brushes height in floor-sweeping machines, positioning blades for wood-cutting machines, textile industries, paint and chemical plants, medical equipment (different...

1 POWER SUPPLY To choose a suitable actuator it is important to start finding out which kind of electric power supply is available. Not all actuators are prepared for all voltages. SELF-LOCKING There is not a sharp threshold between self locking and non-self locking conditions, because this feature is affected by gears wear, type of load, presence of vibrations, mounting position etc …When in doubt the only way of being sure of actuator behaviour is testing it on the application.When actuator is not self-locking, its positioning precision and repeatability features are lower: in this case, some...

C = 40S Short Motor D = 40L Long Motor Micros are actuated by a cam lying on push-rod itself. Micro signal, for speeds higher than 30 mm/s, needs to be handled in its very impulse (I.E.when actuated) and not in its state. Alternatively, MecVel can add a bush to keep the microswitch lever pressed for a longer time avoiding switch signal mistakes, but cause loss of 10 mm of stroke. Connections C02 and C06 make a circuit which stops motor supply, so that the push rod won’t overstep the area of the two micros. This system can work only if inertia generated by the actuator and load connected to it...

ANTIROTATION DEVICE Motor can be installed on both sides of the actuator, thus achieving two versions, as show below. The actuator is seen from backwards. Model ALI1-F can host an antirotation device, allowing push rod not to spin when travelling. Front ends A1 and A2 allow for two antirotation settings, AR0 and AR1. When using A3, A4, A5 and A7 front ends antirotation facility must always be mounted. cable exit STROKE SETUP Useful tips for handling stroke and avoid run-on-block collision • • • When stroke is more than 350 mm, add 50 mm extra-stroke as guidance, and put corresponding value in...
