How to install a load
Install a load to the load mounting holes in the joint using screws (not supplied). There are
two load mounting surfaces, which are provided on the linear guide side and the ball-screw
shaft side.

joint
•

Use the screws which length does not exceed the effective depth of screw
threads in the joint when securing a load. Using a too long screw may cause
the screw to float, leading to break. This may result in injury or damage to
equipment.

Do not remove the joint from the ball screw shaft. Doing so may deteriorate
the installation accuracy of the ball screw shaft, resulting in malfunction. In
addition, if the joint is removed, the home position which has been set in the
encoder (ABZO sensor) at the time of shipment may deviate. This may cause
unexpected movements of the actuator, leading to damage to equipment.
