Reference

  • In normal operation the brake is automatically released, but when the servo is OFF or power is OFF the brake engages. The brake must be released in order to move the movable part (rod) by hand.

Warning

  • Before releasing the brake, make sure to check there is nothing that will interfere with moving parts within the operation range.
  • The moving parts may fall, possibly injuring the operator or people nearby and damaging the ELECYLINDER, workpiece or equipment.
