Linear Actuator LA36 |5

Introduction
The actuator LA36 is one of our most robust and powerful electric actuators designed to operate under
extreme conditions.
The LA36 is a maintenance-free actuator with a long service life and a high IP rating. It is also available with
an option for extra-long service life and as a variant tailored for mobile agricultural machinery and otheroff-highway applications.
This high-quality actuator offers a very strong alternative to hydraulic solutions.

Safety instructions
Please read this safety information carefully.
Be aware of the following three symbols throughout the document:
Warning!
Failing to follow these instructions can cause accidents resulting in serious personal injury.
Recommendations
Failing to follow these instructions can result in the actuator suffering damage or being ruined.
Additional information
Usage tips or additional information that is important in connection with the use of the actuator.

Furthermore, ensure that all staff who are to connect, mount, or use the actuator are in possession of thenecessary information and that they have access to this user manual.
Persons who do not have the necessary experience or knowledge of the product/products must not use
the product/products. Besides, persons with reduced physical or mental abilities must not use the product/
products, unless they are under surveillance or they have been thoroughly instructed in the use of theapparatus by a person who is responsible for the safety of these persons.
Moreover, children must be under surveillance to ensure that they do not play with the product.
Before you start mounting/dismounting, ensure that the following points are observed:• The actuator is not in operation.
• The actuator is free from loads that could be released during this work.
Before you put the actuator into operation, check the following:• The actuator is correctly mounted as indicated in the relevant user instructions.
• The equipment can be freely moved over the actuator’s whole working area.
• The actuator is connected to a mains electricity supply/transformer with the correct voltage and which isdimensioned and adapted to the actuator in question.
• Ensure that the voltage applied matches to the voltage specified on the actuator label.
• Ensure that the connection bolts can withstand the wear.
• Ensure that the connection bolts are secured safely.

Linear Actuator LA36 |6

During operation, please be aware of the following:• Listen for unusual sounds and watch out for uneven running. Stop the actuator immediately if anything
unusual is observed.
• Only use the actuator within the specified working limits.
• Do not step on or kick the actuator.
When the equipment is not in use:
• Switch off the mains supply in order to prevent unintentional operation.
• Check regularly for extraordinary wear.
Classification
The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or withoxygen or nitrous oxide.
Warnings•

Do not sideload the actuator.

•

When mounting the actuator in the application ensure that the bolts can withstand the wear and that they
are secured safely.
If irregularities are observed, the actuator must be replaced.

•

Recommendations•

Do not place load on the actuator housing.

•
•
•
•
•

Prevent impact or blows, or any other form of stress to the housing.
Ensure that the cable cover is mounted correctly. Use 3.5 Nm torque.
Ensure that the duty cycle and the usage temperatures for LA36 actuators are respected.
Ensure that the cable cannot be squeezed, pulled or subjected to any other stress.
Furthermore, it will be good practice to ensure that the actuator is fully retracted in the “normal” position.
The reason is that there will be a negative pressure inside the actuator if it is extended which over time canlead to water entering the actuator.

500-1700 N is with 20 mm spindle pitch
500-5600 N is with 16 mm spindle pitch
500-6800 N is with 12 mm spindle pitch
500-6800 N is with 8 mm spindle pitch• For applications that only operate in pull, the limitations are 1200 mm stroke and 6.800 N load
• Safety factor 2
The actuator can be fitted with a safety nut in push. This safety nut is an auxiliary nut moving with the mainnut and supporting the load if the main nut breaks down. The actuator will then only be able to retract;
thereby signalling that repair is required.

*

The typical values can have a variation of ± 20% on the current values and ± 10% on
the speed values. Measurements are made with an actuator in connection with astable power supply and an ambient temperature at 20°C.

**

There are limitations on the stroke length. If you need full load, please see:
“Load v. Stroke Length”.

***

Note: Fully loaded actuators need a soft start in order to prevent the clutch fromslipping when starting (see curves).
Please note that all actuators featuring ‘IC Advanced with Soft Stop Towards Endstop’ or ‘IC Parallel’, ‘LIN bus’, ‘CAN bus’, and‘Modbus’ will run at a regulated speed, which is typically around 80% of the nominal speed.

The typical values can have a variation of ± 20% on the current values and ± 10% on
the speed values. Measurements are made with an actuator in connection with astable power supply and an ambient temperature at 20°C.

**

There are limitations on the stroke length. If you need full load, please see:
“Load v. Stroke Length”.

***

Note: Fully loaded actuators need a soft start in order to prevent the clutch fromslipping when starting (see curves).
Please note that all actuators featuring ‘IC Advanced with Soft Stop Towards Endstop’ or ‘IC Parallel’, ‘LIN bus’, ‘CAN bus’, and‘Modbus’ will run at a regulated speed, which is typically around 80% of the nominal speed.

Current cut-offs
The principle behind the current cut-off measurement is an ‘above limit’ and a ‘below limit’ accumulating
counter. When the time-out counter reaches a specific value the current cut-off goes into effect. The timeout value is pre-set at 200 ms.

Mounting of cables

1. Unscrew the coverand remove the twoblind plugs.

2. Plug in the
power cable and/or
the signal cable.

3. Slide the cover onto theactuator.
The torque of the cover screw
is approx. 3.5 ± 0.3 Nm
TORX 25IP

When changing the cables on a LINAK® actuator, it is important that this is done carefully, in order toprotect the plugs and pins. Before the new cable is mounted, we recommend that the socket is greased
with vaseline, to keep the high IP protection and ensure an easy mounting. Please be sure that the plugis in the right location and fully pressed in before the cable lid is mounted.
Please note that if the cables are mounted and dismounted more than 3 times the plugs can bedamaged. Therefore, we recommend that such cables are discarded and replaced.
Also note that the cables should not be used for carrying the actuator.
We recommend to take some precaution and design the wire connection in a way, where the cable end
is kept inside a closed, protected area to guarantee the high IP protection.
NOT valid for ATEX cables, please refere to the ATEX section for correct cable mounting on ATEX
actuators.

Electrical installation:•

To ensure maximum self-locking ability, please be sure that the motor is shorted when stopped.
Actuators with integrated controller provide this feature, as long as the actuator is powered.

•

When using soft stop on a DC-motor, a short peak of higher voltage will be sent back towards thepower supply. When selecting the power supply, it is important to make sure that it does not turn off
the output when this backwards load dump occurs.

The power supply for actuators without integrated controller must be monitored externally and cut off incase of current overload. IC actuators have an integrated overcurrent protection.

The power supply has to be disconnected during manual operation
If the actuator is operated as a hand crank, it must only be operated by hand,
otherwise there is a potential risk of overloading and thereby damaging the actuator- do NOT use power tools for the hand crank!
After using the hand crank, the ingress protection will be less than IP66 once theplug is removed
After using the hand crank, always return the actuator to the most inward position.
Failing to do so can damage the actuator and/or the application it is used forLinear Actuator LA36 | 49
