Danger of explosion due to heat generation!
The cylinder generates heat during operation. Explosion protection is no longer guaranteed
when specified limits are exceeded.
Observe the limits specified under "14 Technical Data" (see page 75) and on the rating
plates.
The maximum permissible frequency (double-stroke) is 0.4 Hz. A higher frequency results in
an impermissible temperature increase for the cylinder and presents an explosion risk.
Never exceed the maximum permissible frequency of 0.4 Hz (double-stroke).
Danger of explosion due to spark formation!
Electrostatic charging on the cylinder can cause sparks to form and presents an explosion
hazard in explosion protection zones.
Ground the housing and the piston rod so they are electroconductive with the system.
Ground the system in accordance with applicable regulations.
Mechanical loads lead to the formation of sparks and present an explosion hazard.
Never twist or bend the cylinder, or mount it when it is under tension.
Never expose the cylinder to impacts during transportation, assembly, or operation.
Install the cylinder so that it is protected from the energy of external impacts to the
housing that can occur during operation.
Avoid vibrations, e.g. by installing the system on a cushioned base.
