Precautions for Handling
Intro-10
5. 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 30 mm 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 50 mm 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 or ball screw.
6. Do not attempt to have sliders collide with an obstacle at high speed.
This may damage other mechanical parts.
7. The "Allow *** mm or more" indicated in the External Dimensions is intended
to enable wiring without excessive force applied to the cable.
Allow *** mm or more cable linearity.
