3 Notes on safety

The bellows actuators have been manufactured according to the accepted rules
of safety and current technology. There is, however, still a danger of personal in-
jury or damage to equipment if the following general safety instructions and the
warnings before the steps contained in these instructions are not complied with.
• Read these instructions thoroughly and completely before mounting the bel-
low actuators.
• Keep these instructions in a location where they are accessible to all users at
all times.

SIGNAL WORD
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
• Always include the operating instructions when you pass the bellows actuator
on to third parties.

3.1 Intended use

The bellow actuators are pneumatic cylinders that you can use to transmit pres-
sure energy or for vibration isolation.
• Only use the bellow actuators in accordance with their intended use.
• Observe the performance limits listed in the "Technical data" chapter.
• Only use the bellows actuator for applications named in these instructions.
• Only use the devices under the operating conditions described in these in-
structions.

3.2 Personnel qualifications

Assembly requires basic pneumatic knowledge, as well as knowledge of the ap-
propriate technical terms. Assembly may therefore only be carried out by quali-
fied pneumatic personnel or an instructed person under the direction and super-
vision of qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are those who can recognize possible dangers and institute
the appropriate safety measures, due to their professional training, knowledge,
and experience, as well as their understanding of the relevant regulations per-
taining to the work to be done. Qualified personnel must observe the rules rele-
vant to the subject area.

3.3 General safety instructions

• Observe the regulations for accident prevention and environmental protec-
tion for the country where the device is used and at the workplace.
• It is not permitted to modify, convert, or repair the bellow actuators.
• Inspect the bellow actuators for potential damage prior to assembly and regu-
larly during operation.
• Damaged bellow actuators must not be used.
• The bellow actuators must never be subjected to load during operation.
• Protect the bellow actuators from continuous contact with hydraulic oil, lubri-
cants, solvents, metal chips, and weld splashes.
• Leakage caused by faulty bellow actuators can lead to malfunctioning. Re-
place leaky bellow actuators immediately.
• Switch all relevant system parts without pressure before mounting or replac-
ing the bellow actuators.
• Ensure that the air connections and the mountings are properly connected.
The following applies for BCC and BCP:
• Ensure that the forces are transferred via the cover surfaces.
• For special design solutions, please contact your subsidiary.
• Applying paint to the bellows impairs the functional safety and service life of
the bellow actuator. Do not apply paint to the bellows.
Danger of burns!
In case of use in hot systems, the metal surfaces can heat up to very high temper-
atures. Let hot plates cool before working on the bellows actuator.

4 Scope of delivery

• 1 bellows actuator, type BCC, BCP, BCR, or BRB depending on your order
• 1 set of operating instructions

5 Assembly

5.1 Mounting the covers (BCC with threaded bolts)

For BCC series bellow actuators with threaded bolts (see Fig. 1b), both covers are
inverted and fixed to the bellows with an adhesive strip.
1. Mount the covers as follows:
2. Remove the adhesive strip and covers.
3. Moisten the openings of the bellows actuator and the rims of the covers with
soapy water (see Fig. 2a - d).
4. Turn the covers so that the rims fit in the center of the bellows and mount the
covers.
