instruction manual.

5. For the rod type RP, do not apply radial load and load moment to the rod.
Loads can only be applied in the direction matching the rod axis.
If external force is to be applied in other than the axial direction matching the rod axis, select GS or
GD types with guide or TC or TW types with table.
6. Do not perform rod return operation with the rod type RP without an external
guide.
Return operation from the rod side without a guide will apply eccentric load to the feed screw, possibly
causing the screw shaft to bend or damaging the internal mechanism.
