Attachment 

Refer to the Instruction Manual (DVD) for the attachments of the actuator and loads. 

[Precautions for Attachments] 

No. Item 

Precautions 

1 Installation 

  Have an appropriate protection when using the product in an 

environment related to food that requires the hygienic management 
so the actuator would not directly touch the food. 
In case the actuator has touched the food, do not treat it as selling 
goods. 

  The unit cannot be mounted vertically, horizontally oriented on the 

wall or on the ceiling. 

  If the table is laid on the top, it can be installed in the horizontally 

oriented wall mount or in the ceiling mount (option). 

2 Attachment 

Surface 

  The base has to have a structure with sufficient rigidity to prevent 

oscillation. 

  There are datum surfaces for attachment on the bracket. 

The flatness of the table operation differs for the stroke of each 
actuator model. [Refer to the Catalog or Instruction Manual (DVD)] 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

  The actuator mounting surface and other surfaces that are used as a 

datum should be flat enough with an accuracy of machining or 
equivalent treatment, and the flatness of the mounting surface needs 
to be 

±

0.1mm/m or less. 

  Secure the space where maintenance work can be performed. 

Bolts to be used 

  For the bolts to be used, a high-tensile bolt complying with ISO-10.9 

or more is recommended. 

  If using the tapped holes, use screws with the thread length 

dimension being less than the effective depth of the holes. 

  In case the tapped hole is a through hole, be careful so the screw tip 

does not exceed the surface of the tapped hole. 

  For the actuator mounting, use a bolt with the dimension of its 

effective mating length to the tapped hole size as stated below. 

When tapped hole is on aluminum 

 thread length 1.8 times longer than nominal diameter 

If it is a through hole, have the following values: 

When female screw is on steel   

 thread length same as nominal diameter. 

When female screw is on aluminum   

 thread length 1.8 times longer than nominal diameter 

4 Tightening 

Torque 

  Please follow the specification values stated in the Instruction 

Manual (DVD) for the tightening torque. 
Failure to do so may cause an operation problem. 

Load Moment and 
Overhung length 

  Please follow the specification values stated in the Instruction 

Manual (DVD) for the load moment and the overhung length. Failure 
to do so may cause abnormal vibration or noise, and also may 
remarkably shorten the product life. 

 

Wiring 

 

For the controller, only the dedicated controller manufactured by our company can be used. 
Using other controllers may cause a problem such as burning the product, ignition or generating heat. 
Use the dedicated cable enclosed in the package when connecting the actuator and the controller. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

[Prohibited Items in the Cable Processing] 

 

  Do not pull or bend forcibly the cable so as not to give any extra load or tension to the 

cable. 

  Do not process the cable to extend or shortening by means of cutting out, combination 

or connecting with another cable. 

 

  Do not let the cable flex at a single point. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

  Do not let the cable bend, kink or twist. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Do not pull the cable with a strong force. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Do not let the cable receive a turning force at a single point. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Do not pinch, drop a heavy object onto or cut the cable. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  When fixing the cable, provide a moderate slack and do not tension it too tight. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Separate the I/O line, communication line and power line from each other. 

Do not store in the same duct. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  When using a cable track, make sure to apply robot cables, avoid any tangle or twist in 

the cable track or flexible tube, and do not tie together so the cables are free to move. 

(Do not bend it at an angle of 90

°

 or less) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  The cable track capacity for cables to put in should be 60% or less to prevent cables 

from breaking. (Cable heat is not considered.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

Note: 

  When the cable is connected or disconnected, make sure to turn off the power to the controller. 

When the cable is connected or disconnected with the controller power turned ON, it might cause a 
malfunction of the actuator and result in a serious injury or damage to the machinery. 

  When the connector connection is not correct, it would be dangerous because of a malfunction of 

the actuator. Make sure to confirm that the connector is connected correctly.
