5.2
External Attached Components
(Cable Entries, Stopping Plugs, Breathers)
Drilled holes are generally fitted with the components intended for the application at the
factory.
If customers intend to fit the components in the holes themselves, dust and transport
protection is provided for the openings in the enclosure (adhesive tape with a warning
note or plastic caps) at the factory.
5.2.1 Fitting of Attached Components by R. STAHL
Give the following information to R. STAHL:
- Type
- Data sheet
- Quantity, manufacturers and approvals of the components that are to be attached.
- Type of protection
R. STAHL
• will check whether the components, quantity and position correspond with the approval
• will mount the components
• will update the order documentation
• will carry out a routine test
• will attach a new rating plate if the technical data has changed.
5.2.2 Fitting of Attached Components by the Customer
Selecting add-on components
We recommend fitting the following add-on components to the enclosure:
Cable entry
• For electrical lines that are permanently installed: Cable entries for electrical lines that are
permanently installed
• For electrical lines that are not permanently installed: Cable entries with strain relief.
Sealing unused entries
• Use stopping plugs that comply with the type of protection required.
Draining and equalising pressure
• Breather.
Equip the device carefully and in accordance with the safety notes (see "Safety" chapter).
Refer to the specifications on the device's rating plate to help you determine which
components and seals to use and what operating temperatures they will need to be able
to withstand.
Calculate the usable area (collision frame) for add-on components, see Chapter 5.1.2 and
5.2.2.
Make the diameter of the drilled holes match the dimensions of the built-in parts or their
seals.
The use of add-on components with a flat seal (gasket) is preferred.
