Precautions for Handling
Intro-10
6. If return operations are continued over a short distance, they may rapidly
degrade the film of grease.
Continuous return operation within a distance less than 30mm may cause the grease film to degrade
rapidly.
As a guideline, in every 5,000 to 10,000 cycles, have approximately 5 cycles of return operation over
a 50mm distance or more to regenerate the oil film. Continued use of the actuator in that state may
lead to breakdown.
In extreme cases, flaking may occur on the guide.
7. Base oil may separate from the grease and leak from the inside of the
ELECYLINDER to the exterior due to the operating environment, mounting
orientation, operating conditions, etc.
Protect the peripheral equipment if base oil adhesion negatively affects them.
8. Grease has been applied to the outer periphery of the rod and guide shaft for
the rod type.
Protect the peripheral equipment if grease adhesion negatively affects them.
9. The structure between the rod tip adapter and the front bracket forms a floating
feature in order to absorb impact, joint between the rod tip adapter and the rod
is fixed. Therefore, the rod tip adapter has play in the axial and rotary
directions.
