3.2.3. Expected component life
General
The life of any component depends on how hard it is run, and it can vary greatly.
Expected life
1. The expected life can also be affected by grouping harnesses/cables other than
standard options. The life expectancy is based on a test cycle that for every axis goes
from the calibration position to minimum angle, to maximum angle and back to the
calibration position. Deviations from this test cycle will result in differences in
expected life!
