5. Insert the threaded bolts through the holes in the mounting plates, turn the
supplied nuts onto the threaded bolts, and tighten them crosswise.
Tightening torque: see Tab. 1.
If the nuts are tightened sufficiently, the covers are applied correctly and seal off
the bellows.
5.2 Installation space
See Fig. 3
There should be no abrasion between the walls of the bellows.
Ensure that the installation location provides adequate space to accommo-
u
date the change in bellows diameter along the entire stroke.
5.3 Height stops
See Fig. 4
Risk of injury during air pressure filling!
Bellow actuators must be equipped with a height limitation at the ends of the
stroke. The bellow actuators are not designed for forces resulting from pres-
sure loads in the absence of load or height stops.
1. Fill the bellows actuator with compressed air only when installed.
2. Observe the stop heights Hmin and Hmax.
5.4 Angle of tilt α and axial offset

H = minimum height H = maximum height

Danger of explosion if installed at an angle of tilt!
Bellows actuators with material numbers R412010151, R412025918,
R474000118 may explode and will wear quickly if they are installed with an an-
gle of tilt.
Never install these bellows actuators with an angle of tilt!

5.5 Load capacity
See Fig. 6b
d = effective diameter F = force
w
The height at the center of the plate, H
(see Fig. 5).
The effective diameter d changes with the operating height. Depending on the
w
type and size, bellow actuators decrease in load capacity as the stroke increases.
When dimensioning using the force-displacement diagram, check if the bel-
u
lows actuator in question exerts the required force at both ends of the in-
tended stroke and what pressure is required for this.
For information see the online catalog.
6 Maintaining
Bellow actuators with permanent air supply do not require maintenance.
For bellows actuators without permanent air supply, check air pressure at regular
intervals and correct if necessary.
Bellow actuators are wear parts. A worn bellows cannot be repaired.
1. Regularly perform a visual inspection.

2. Exchange the bellow actuators as soon as you detect external damage.
6.1 Exchanging the bellows (BCC)
See Fig. 1a and b
1. Switch all relevant system parts without pressure.
2. Loosen the banjo connections and remove both covers.
3. Use a lever to remove the mounting rings from the bellows.
NOTICE: The lever must not have any sharp edges that can damage the bellow.
1. Check the connectors for damage before reinstalling them. Replace any dam-
aged parts.
2. Use the lever to fit the mounting rings on the new bellows.
NOTICE: Make sure that the mounting ring bolts are aligned at the opposite ends.
1. Before assembly, moisten the openings of the bellows actuator and the rims
of the covers with soapy water (see Fig. 2).
2. Mount and tighten both covers.
3. Using a torque wrench, gradually tighten the connections crosswise (see tab.
1).
