About the TL-Series Electric Cylinders
TL-Series electric cylinders feature multi-turn high resolution encoders and are available with
24V DC brakes. The TL-Series motor rotates a ballscrew drive that converts rotary motion into
linear movement. This linear movement results in the piston rod extending and retracting from
the electric cylinder housing.
The TLAR-Axxxxx-x2A electric cylinders are non-braking. When there is no input torque, the piston rod can be
moved freely. You can achieve self-locking of your motion system by using motors with an integrated brake or
with high self-braking torque.
The TL-Series electric cylinders have been designed for exact positioning at high speeds.

Before You Begin
Remove all packing material, wedges, and braces from within and around the item. After
unpacking, verify the nameplate catalog number against the purchase order.
1. Remove packaging polyethylene foil and cardboard.
The packing materials are recyclable, except for oiled paper that is waste.
2. Remove the electric cylinder carefully from its shipping container.
Consider the weight of the electric cylinder. Depending on the design, the electric
cylinder can weigh up to 15.0 kg (33.07 lb).
3. Visually inspect the electric cylinder for damage.
4. Examine the electric cylinder frame, piston shaft, and hollow bolts for defects.
5. Notify the carrier of shipping damage immediately.
ATTENTION: Do not attempt to open and modify the electric cylinder. Only a qualified Allen-Bradley
employee can service the internal working of the electric c ylinder or motor. Failure to observe these
safety precautions could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
Planning Your Installation
Refer to Kinetix Linear Motion Specifications, publication GMC-TD002, for the specifications
and additional products referenced in this section:
• This product can be operated in compliance with the relevant safety regulations, only if
the maximum loading limits are observed.
ATTENTION: The electric-cylinder is not intended to be used in applications where side- loading occurs.
Loads must be guided and supported. Align the load with the line-of-motion of the piston rod.
Side loading reduces the lifetime of the electric-cylinder.
• If you are mounting your electric cylinder in a vertical or sloping position, include safety
measures that control the work load, if the spindle nut fails.
ATTENTION: Uncontrolled moving masses can cause injury or damage to property.
If there is a spindle nut fracture inside the electric cylinder due to wear, the working mass drops down.
Check whether additional external safety measures are required to prevent damage in the event of a
spindle nut fracture.
• Corrosive environments reduce the service life of electric cylinders.
• Depending on the work load, the piston rod can bend. Refer to the piston rod deflection
specifications for limitations.
• Motor feedback, auxiliary feedback, and I/O connector kits are not included, but can be
purchased separately.

IMPORTANT
• Factory manufactured feedback and power cables are available in standard cable lengths.
They provide environmental sealing and shield termination. Contact your Rockwell
Automation sales office or refer to the selection guide for cables.
Electric Cylinders with Brake Option
The brake option on this servo motor is a spring-set holding brake that releases when voltage is
applied to the brake coil. A separate power source is required to disengage the brake. This power
source can be applied by a servo motor controller or manual operator control.
If system main power fails, holding brakes can withstand occasional use as stopping brakes.
However, this creates rotational mechanical backlash that is potentially damaging to the system,
increases brake wear, and reduces brake life.
An unpowered electric cylinder requires a brake to maintain its position if the force on the
actuator exceeds the Back Drive Force listed in Kinetix™ Linear Motion Specifications Technical
Data, publication GMC-TD002
A brake can be use with the actuator to keep it from back driving, typically in vertical
applications. A brake can be used for safety reasons or for energy savings, allowing the actuator to
hold position when unpowered.
Holding brakes are not designed to stop rotation of the motor shaf t, nor are they intended to be used as a safety
device. They are designed to hold a motor shaft at 0 rpm for up to the rated brake holding torque.
The recommended method of preventing motor shaft rotation is a four step process: first, command the servo
drive to 0 rpm; second, verify the motor is at 0 rpm; third, engage the brake; and fourth, disab le the drive.
Disabling the drive removes the potential for brake wear caused by a badly-tuned servo system oscillating the
shaft.

Preventing Electrical Noise
Electromagnetic interference (EMI), commonly called electrical noise, can reduce motor
performance. Effective techniques to counter EMI include filtering the AC power, using
shielded cables, separating signal cables from power wiring, and practicing good grounding
techniques.
Follow these guidelines to avoid the effects of EMI:
• Isolate the power transformers or install line filters on all AC input power lines.
• Physically separate signal cables from motor cabling and power wiring. Do not route
signal cables with motor and power wires, or over the vent openings of servo drives.
• Ground all equipment by using a single-point parallel ground system that employs
ground bus bars or large straps. If necessary, use additional electrical noise reduction
techniques to reduce EMI in noisy environments.
Refer to System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual, publication
GMC-RM001
, for additional information on reducing the effects of EMI.
Build and Route Cables
Knowledgeable cable routing and careful cable construction improves system electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).
Follow these steps to build and install cables.
1. Keep wire lengths as short as physically possible.
2. Route signal cables (encoder, serial, analog) away from motor and power wiring.
3. Separate cables by 0.3 m (1 ft) minimum for every 9 m (30 ft) of parallel run.
4. Ground both ends of the encoder cable shield and twist the signal wire pairs to prevent
electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other equipment.
ATTENTION: High voltage can be present on the shield of a power cable, if the shield is not grounded.
Make sure there is a connection to ground for any power cable shield.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in personal injur y or damage to equipment.
Install the Electric Cylinder
The installation must comply with all local regulations and use of equipment and installation
practices that promote electromagnetic compatibility and safety.
ATTENTION: Unmounted electric cylinders, disconnected mechanical couplings, and disconnected cables are
dangerous if power is applied.
Appropriately identify disassembled equipment (tagged-out) and access to electrical power restricted (locked-out).
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in personal injury.

IMPORTANT
ATT EN TI ON : Make sure that cables are installed and restrained to prevent uneven tension or flexion at the cable
connectors. Excessive and uneven lateral force at the cable connectors can result in the connector’s environmental
seal opening and closing as the cable flexes. Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to
the electric cylinder motor and its components.
ATT EN TI ON : Damage can occur to the electric cylinder bearings and the feedback device if a sharp impact to the
piston rod is applied during installation. Do not strike the piston rod with tools during installation or removal.
Do not attempt to rotate the piston rod. Rotating the piston rod breaks the mechanism that lets the elec tric cylinder
extend and retract.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the electric cylinder a nd its components.
Follow these steps to install the electric cylinder.
1. Provide sufficient clearances in the area of the electric cylinder for it to stay within its
specified operating temperature range.
Refer to Kinetix Linear Motion Specifications Technical Data, publication
GMC-TD002
, for the operating temperature range. Do not enclose the electric cylinder
unless forced air is blown across the electric cylinder for cooling. Keep other heat
producing devices away from the electric cylinder.
Position the electric cylinder so that all the operating parts are accessible and the breather port is
not covered.
2. Make sure the mounting surface supports the electric cylinder evenly so that it is free of
mechanical stress and distortion.
The evenness of support surface must be
≤ 0.2 mm (0.008 in.).
ATT EN TI ON : Do not modify the settings of the screws and the threaded pins.
The electric cylinder must not be fastened by the front cover alone when used with high loads.
Heavy tensile strain can cause the screws in the cover to pull out.
3. Attach mounting accessories to the electric cylinder, see Accessories
Tighten the fastening screws evenly.

4. Attach rod-end accessories and the work load.
Be sure the work load center of gravity is centric to the piston rod.
ATTENTION: Damage can occur to the electric cylinder bearings and the feedback device if sharp impact
to the piston rod is applied during installation. Do not strike the piston rod with tools during installation
or removal.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the electric cylinder and its
components.
Do not twist or rotate the piston rod. If the piston rod is rotated, the absolute position of the electric
cylinder is lost and the absolute home posi tion must be re-established.
When fastening a rod-end accessory or work load to the piston rod, use two wrenches.
Use one wrench to tighten the mounting nut or rod-end accessory and the other, on the
piston-rod wrench flats, to counter act the applied torque. Be sure that the torque is not
applied to the piston rod and that the piston rod does not rotate.

ATTENTION: Do not rotate the piston rod during installation. Rotating the
piston rod breaks the mechanism that lets the electric cylinder extend and
retract. Use two wrenches to install the work load.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the
electric cylinder and its components.
If you are using a coupling piece attachment, catalog number MPAR-NE3612x, or
trunnion mounting kit, catalog number MPAR-NA1635xx , see Accessories
on page 33
for torque values.
If you are using a rod guide accessory, catalog number MPAR-NE34xxx or
MPAR-NE150xxx, adjust the guides of the work load and the electric cylinder so that
they are exactly parallel. This avoids excessive wear on the guide.

Mount the Electric Cylinder
1. Use stainless steel fasteners to mount your electric cylinder to your application.
2. Attach power and feedback cables and use a drip loop in the cable to keep liquids away
from the motor.
BURN HAZARD: Outer surfaces of the motor can reach high temperatures, 65 °C (149 °F), during electric cylinder
operation. Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces. Failure to observe these safety
precautions can result in personal injury.
ATT EN TI ON : Consider electric-cylinder sur face temperature when selecting motor-mating connections and cables.
Failure to observe these safety precautions can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
ATT EN TI ON : Keyed connectors must be properly aligned and hand-tightened the recommended number of turns.
Improper connector alignment is indicated by the need for excessive force, such as the need for the use of tools, to
fully seat connectors.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to the motor and cable, and their components.
ATT EN TI ON : Be sure that cables are installed and restrained to prevent uneven tension or flexion at the cable
connectors. Excessive and uneven force at the cable connector can result in damage to the housing and contacts as
the cable flexes. Failure to observe these safety precautions can result in damage to the motor and its components.

Use the procedure appropriate for your drive.
ATT EN TI ON : Moving parts can cause injuries. Before running the electric cylinder, make sure all components
are secure and safe guards are in place to prevent access to the path of moving machinery.
Safeguards must prevent access to the electric cylinder until all motion ha s stopped.
Check that the electric cylinder is clear of foreign matter and tools. Objects hit by the moving piston rod can
become projectiles that can cause personnel injury or damage to the equipment.
You are responsib le to verify that the ser vo control system safely controls the elec tric cylinder with regard to
maximum force, acceleration, and speed.

8. Set overtravel limits according to the maximum speed of the servo drive system and the
payload of the application.
ATT EN TI ON : Software overtravel must be set prior to initiating the tuning process. Check the starting
position of the piston rod and allow for adequate travel.
Insufficient travel while auto tuning causes the software overtravel to trigger or an end-stop impact.
Set travel limits and direction of tuning moves in reference to the piston rod starting position. Leave
adequate travel for the piston rod to complete its moves while tuning.
You can determine the deceleration distance before the piston rod contacts the end of
travel based on the deceleration rate of the load, and the available peak force from the
motor/ballscrew combination. Use the Motion Analyzer
software to calculate the
minimum deceleration distance at the maximum speed of your application.
