About This Manual


Conventions

The following paragraphs describe some of the conventions that are used in your

MTS manuals.

Hazard conventions Hazard notices are embedded in this manual and contain safety information thatis specific to the task to be performed. Hazard notices immediately precede the

step or procedure that may lead to an associated hazard. Read all hazard notices

carefully and follow the directions that are given. Three different levels of hazard

notices may appear in your manuals. Following are examples of all three levels.

Note For general safety information, see the Safety manual included with your

system.

Danger notices Danger notices indicate the presence of a hazard which willcause severe personalinjury, death, or substantial property damage if the danger is ignored. For

example:

Do not place any part of your body in the path of a moving actuator.

A crush zone exists between the actuator and any equipment i n the path of

its movement. Movement of an actuator, even under normal test conditi ons,

is usually sudden and with high force. Severe injury or death will occur

when any part of your body is crushed by the actuator.

Keep all parts of your body away from a moving actuator. If you must work on or

near an actuator, take all necessary steps to remove all hydraulic pressure from

the actuator.

Warning notices Warning notices indicate the presence of a hazard which cancause severe

personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the warning is ignored.For example:

Do not allow bystanders near the system.

Moving parts may injure anyone who gets too close to the system.

Organize your facilities so that the system is not accessible to people who are not

skilled in its operation.

Caution notices Caution notices indicate the presence of a hazard which willor can cause minorpersonal injury, cause minor equipment damage, or endanger test integrity if the

caution is ignored. For example:

This specimen can develop sharp edges as a result of testing.

Handling the specimen with unprotected hands can result in cuts and

slivers.

Always wear protective gloves when you handle the specimen.

Actuator Lifting and Moving

Content Shackle Specifications 14

Shackle Mounting Locations 15

Lift and Move Instructions 22

Required equipment You will need the following equipment to unpack, lift and handle the actuator:

A forklift or overhead crane capable of lifting the actuator and any attached

manifolds and fixtures.

Sufficiently rated lifting shackles.

Lifting slings not chains to lift the actuator.

Important All equipment used to move the actuator must be rated to

accommodate the total combined weight of the actuator andany attached fixtures, such as manifolds, swivel ends, force

transducers, and grips. A minimum of three lifting points are

recommended for linear actuators and two lift points for rotary

actuators, see diagrams below)

Using defective or inadequate lifting devices is dangerous.

If any element of the lifting device fails while lifting and moving the

actuator, the actuator will drop or tip causing extensive damage to

equipment and creating the possibility for serious injury or death.

Before using the lifting device, determine that it is adequately rated forthe equipment being lifted and examine all elements of the device for

damage. Use the following list as a guide.

Check the identification label on the lifting device to ensure it isadequately rated for the part(s) being lifted. If the rating cannotbe determined, do not use the device.

Inspect the shackles. Ensure that the threads are undamaged andthat the bolts are not bent. Check the rings for damage, such ascracks or worn spots. Replace any damaged shackle components.

Inspect each nylon sling. Ensure that the slings are not kinked,

knotted, cut, punctured, or otherwise damaged. Replace thedamaged or defective slings. Ensure that replacement slings havethe same rated capacity.

Inspect the clevis and pins. Ensure that the clevises are notdamaged. Ensure that the pins are straight and that the threads inthe pins and clevises are in good condition. Replace any damagedclevis or pin.

Shackle Specifications



Do not attempt to li ft an actuator assembly by hand . Contact MTS directl y if

the actuator weight is unknown or in question.

Instructions provided in this document are for standard sized actuators. For

actuator displacements of greater than 30 inches consult MTS about proper

handling and moving instructions.

Ensure that the actuator is completely disconnected from the system prior to lifting

or moving.

A dropped actuator can seriously hurt you and damage the actuator.

Do not allow the actuator to drop:

Ensure that your slings, lifting shackles and crane have a working capability

greater than the weight of the actuator and any installed accessories (such asmanifolds, swivels, force transducers, etc.).

Initially, lift the actuator only high enough to ensure proper balance.

Operate the crane smoothly to avoid sudden shocks to the slings or swinging

of the actuator.

Lift and Move Instructions



Preparation Perform the following to unpack and move actuators:

1. Unpack or uncrate the actuator.

Typically actuators will be crated and shipped on a pallet.

Uncrate and ensure proper lifting shackles are attached prior to lifting.

Remove any packaging straps or bolts as needed.

2. Inspect the actuator for shipping damage.

Look for the following:

Scratches, chips or dents on the piston rod

Loose or missing fasteners

Torn, cracked or damaged seals/wipers

Damaged hydraulic connections

Dents and other structural damage

Report any damage found to both the carrier and MTS. Refer to the preface

in this manual for information about contacting MTS.

Actuator weight distr ibut ion may not be even. Weight distr ibut ion var ies

greatly due to accessories such as accumulators, swivels and manifolds.

Use at least 3 lift points to help avoid sudden weight shifts and possible personal

injury or damage to actuator.

Do not lift actuator from swivel mounting holes, because swivels ends are not

restrained and can shift and rotate unexpectedly.

Actuator should NEVER rest on or against the manifold assembly.

3. Refer to the figures and tables in the section Shackle Mounting Locations

beginning onpage 15for the location and size of the lift holes for the

actuator you are installing.

4. Lubricate the threads on each shackle with a thin coat of an anti-seizing

compound such as Molykote g-n paste. Install the shackles in the lift holes.

Refer to the table, Shackle Specifications,on page 14. Torque eachshackle to the value specified in the table for the shackle being used.

The figures below show typical shackle mounting locations for actuators

with swivel assemblies installed.

Typical Shackle Locations on Linear Actuators with Swivels

5. Run the slings through the lifting shackles and attach the slings to the lifting

device (crane, forklift, etc.).

6. Ensure the lifting device is positioned accordingly to prevent rubbing of

slings against the actuator body.

7. With someone steadying the actuator, lift the actuator just enough to make

sure you have found its balance point. Keep adjusting the slings and lifting

to test the actuator until you find its balance point.

8. Ensure the path to where the actuator will sit is clear and uncluttered, with

all hoses and cables moved to protect against accidental damage.

9. Lift the actuator only as high as necessary to clear obstacles. Move it slowly

to its installation site.

10. Gently lower the actuator into position.

11. Installation and assembly instructions are provided with each specific

system for mounting the actuators.

12. If necessary, contact MTS Systems Corporation to arrange for installationservices. Refer to the Preface in this document for contact information.
