SAFETY GUIDE
For linear actuator series/servo driver system
Read this manual thoroughly before designing the application, installation, maintenance or inspection of the actuator.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious personal injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if
not avoided, may result in minor or moderate personal
injury and/or damage to the equipment.
LIMITATION
OF
APPLICATIONS
:
The equipment listed in this document may not be used for the applications listed below:

Safety measures are essential to prevent accidents resulting in death, injury or damage of the equipment due to
malfunction or faulty operation.
NOTICES TO USE AN ACTUATOR
Notices for designing and application: Always read the relating technical documents for the purpose.
Do not insert your hand, etc. into the operation area of the output rod (output shaft) of the linear actuator.
●
High thrust is outputted from the output rod. Inserting your hand into the operation area may cause injury.
●
LA series: Maximum thrust of 49N (5kgf)
Use the actuator and motors only in a specified
environment.
●
Use the actuator and motors
with the following indoor
conditions:
- Ambient temperature: 0 to 40
°
C
- Ambient humidity: 20% to 80%RH (No condensation)
- Vibration: 24.5m/S
2
or less
- No water or oil drips
- No corrosive or
explosive gas
Install the actuator and motors with the applied
equipment precisely following the relating
instruction manuals.
●
Align the shaft of actuator and motors with the applied
equipment precisely following the relating instruction
manuals.
●
Secure the output rod (output shaft) of the actuator to
the paired unit properly according to the technical
documents.
●
If the alignment is not precise, vibration will occur,
resulting in damage to the bearing.
Notices for operation: Always read the relating technical documents for the purpose.
Do not apply thrust exceeding the actuator’s and
motor’s maximum thrust.
●
Using the actuator by exceeding its maximum thrust
may cause lower precision or failure.
LA series: Maximum thrust of 49N (5kgf)
Do not plug actuators or motors directly to the
commercial power supply.
●
An actuator or a motor cannot run without paired driver
unit.
●
Direct connection to the commercial power supply will
damage the actuator or motor , and may cause fire.
Do not hit actuators and motors.
●
As an actuator or a motor houses an encoder, do not
hit it with a wooden hammer or others.
●
When an encoder is fault, the actuator or the motor
runs uncontrollably.
Do not pull lead wires.
●
Pulling lead wires will damage wire connections,
causing uncontrolled rotation.
Do not use the output rod for any purposes
involving hitting to stop.
●
It may cause damage in the actuator driving system,
resulting in failure or a shorter life.
Do not operate the actuator with wet hands.
●
It may cause an electric shock.
Do not touch the main body during operation.
●
The output rod generates high thrust. It may run
away due to wrong wiring, etc.
●
The surface of the actuator may become very hot
during operation.
The output rod has no self-holding function.
●
It cannot hold the load in case of alarm stop or power
shutdown. Provide an external function to avoid
danger.
Do not repair, disassemble, or modify it.
●
It may cause an electric shock, injury, or fire. Also,
the initial performance may not be reproduced.
