Notes on Installation
The stainless sheet is designed very thin (thickness: approx. 0.1 mm) in order to ensure flexibility.
Therefore, the stainless sheet is easily dented or scratched. Once dented or scratched, the stainless sheet
may break during use.
When installing the stainless sheet, pay attention to the following points:
1. Do not press the sheet directly with hands
2. Protect the sheet from dents by paying attention
not to drop tools and loads onto the sheet.
3. Do not allow powder dust or iron powder to generate around the stainless sheet.
If generation of powder dust/iron powder cannot be fully prevented, wipe the stainless sheet after the
operation to remove all particles attached to the sheet.
If the actuator is operated with the stainless sheet carrying foreign particles, the particles may enter
the slider and damage the sheet or cause the sheet to deform, lift or present other problems.
The stainless sheet is held in place by means of magnets. If surrounding air contains iron powder or
other magnetic substances, they may attach to the magnets and cause problems. Pay attention to
the surrounding environment and take appropriate measures, if necessary.

Installing the Main Body
Mount the actuator to a machined surface or one of comparable precision.
The side faces and lower surface of the base run parallel with the guides. When traveling precision is
required, use these as the reference planes for mounting. Take note that the available mounting methods
are different for each actuator type.
