Safety instructions related
to the product and technology
Danger due to high pressure differential!
If the rodless cylinder is only pressurized on one side,
the slide can accelerate uncontrollably from the
intermediate-stop position in the direction of the
unpressurized side and break through the end stop
with high kinetic energy. This can cause serious injury
or even death.
O Ensure that the slide can never travel from the
intermediate-stop position during operation unless
the two air chambers have previously been
pressurized uniformly.
O Pressurize the two cylinder pressure chambers,
even with a vertical installation in the intermediate
position, so the cylinder is disabled. The pressure
for the top air chamber must be reduced to the
point that gravity is offset.
O Only pressurize and exhaust the intermediate stop
in the specified order – see 7 "Setting the slide
position order".
Danger of injury due to stored energy (compressed air)!
When the system is at a standstill, there is still a
danger due to stored energy (compressed air).
O Generally avoid storing compressed air.
O Vent the rodless cylinder on which an intermediate
stop is to be mounted.
O Ensure that other parts of the system cannot vent
uncontrollably during assembly.
O Remove all other sources of danger in the
immediate work area
a) that may result from stored energy in the system.
b) that may result from the normal travel
movement of the slide
