Installing the guide type
This section explains the installation location, installation method and load mounting method
of the guide type actuator.
5-1
Installation location
The actuator has been designed and manufactured to be incorporated in general industrial
equipment. Install the product in a well-ventilated location that provides easy access for
inspection.
•
Inside an enclosure that is installed indoors (provide vent holes)
•
Operating ambient temperature: 0 to +40 °C [+32 to 104 °F] (non-freezing)
•
Operating ambient humidity: 85% or less (non-condensing)
•
Area that is free of explosive atmosphere or toxic gas (such as sulfuric gas) or liquid
•
Area not exposed to direct sun
•
Area free of excessive amount of dust, iron particles or the like
•
Area not subject to splashing water (rain, water droplets), oil (oil droplets) or other liquids
•
Area free of excessive salt
•
Area not subject to continuous vibration or excessive shocks
•
Area free of excessive electromagnetic noise (from welders, power machinery, etc.)
•
Area free of radioactive materials, magnetic fields or vacuum
•
Up to 1000 m (3300 ft.) above sea level
If a motor is installed in an environment where a magnetic field is
generated
A magnetic sensor is built into the encoder (ABZO sensor). If the motor is installed close to
equipment which generates a strong magnetic field, the encoder (ABZO sensor) may break
or malfunction. Make sure to prevent the magnetic flux density on the surface of the encoder
(ABZO sensor) from exceeding 10 mT.
Do not install the motor close to equipment which generates a strong magnetic
field.

Installation method
The actuator can be installed in any direction.
Install the actuator onto an appropriate metal flat mounting plate [thickness approximately
5 mm (0.2 in.) or more] having excellent vibration resistance and heat conductivity. If a
high accuracy is required, design the thickness of the mounting plate in consideration of
installation conditions such as load condition, rigidity, vibration, and others.
An accessory mounting plate is provided. Refer to p.12 for the installation method using the
accessory mounting plate.
