The actuator can be mounted in vertical or horizontal orientation as well as in other orientations. For special applications, contact your local Schneider Electric service representative.
oTake into account the mass of the actuator that may act as a load, depending on the mounting position (vertical / horizontal / tilted).
oFor the design of the actuator frame, take into account the varying height of the actuator.
For detailed information about mounting the actuator to the frame, refer to the catalog Unimotion PNCE Electric Cylinder .
NOTE:
oEAC11 is equal to PNCE32
oEAC12 is equal to PNCE40
oEAC13 is equal to PNCE50
oEAC14 is equal to PNCE63
oEAC15 is equal to PNCE80
oEAC16 is equal to PNCE100
The precision of the actuator in the application is also determined by the frame. Deformations of the frame cause imprecisions on the Tool Center Point (TCP).
General Requirements Regarding the Frame of the Enclosure
The frame must not only withstand permanently the forces and torques described below, but also have sufficient stiffness so that the deformations and vibrations which occur do not lead to any major deviations on the TCP. Ensure a sufficient transverse bracing in the frame.
Note the forces and torques to be taken up by the frame during normal operation:
oConsider that forces and torques operating the frame change when you modify the stroke length or the payload.
oThe mounting position, the speed, and the acceleration of the actuator, as well as the mounted payload, affect the total energy and may possibly cause damage.
NOTE: Fasten the actuator with screws of property class 8.8 or greater. For more information, refer to the respective dimensional drawing in Mechanical Data.

CRUSHING, SHEARING, CUTTING AND IMPACT INJURY |
|
oThe actuator must be operated only within an enclosure. oOpen or enter the enclosure for cleaning and maintenance purposes only. oDesign the enclosure to withstand an impact from the actuator and to resist ejected parts from escaping the zone of operation. oDesign the enclosure to safely deactivate the actuator as soon as a person enters the zone of operation of the actuator. oAll barriers, protective doors, contact mats, light barriers, and other protective equipment, must be configured correctly and enabled whenever the actuator is under power. oDefine the clearance distance to the zone of operation of the actuator so that operational staff do not have access to, nor can be enclosed in, the actuator zone of operation. oDesign the enclosure to account for the maximum possible travel paths of the actuator; that is, the maximum path until the hardware safety system limits as well as the additional run-on paths, in case of a power interruption. |

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. |
Interference Contours in the Enclosure
When designing the enclosure, ensure that the moving parts of the actuator will have a sufficient freedom of movement. Take into account the required space for the movement of the corresponding actuator.
For more information, refer to the respective dimensional drawing in Mechanical Data.
For detailed information about the interference areas caused by actuator motions, the dimensions, or the strokes, refer to the 3D-CAD data. For this, contact your local Schneider Electric service representative.
