Precautions in Handling 

1. Handling of the Packed Product 

Please concern the handling of the unit so you would not hit or drop it while carrying. 

• 

If the shipping box is to be left standing, it should be in a horizontal position. 

  Do not step or sit on the package.

 

• 

Do not place on the carton any heavy object that may cause the carton to deform, or an article whose 
shape allows a load to be concentrated at one point. 

 
2. Handling of the Unpacked Product 

Do not attempt to hold the cable when carrying the actuator, or pull the cables to move the unit. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

Installation and Storage • Preservation Environment 

1. Installation Environment 

Do not use this product in the following environment. 
Generally speaking, it should be an environment where a worker can work without any protective gear. 
Also make sure to keep enough work space necessary for maintenance. 

• 

Location exposed to radiant heat from a huge heat source such as the heat treatment 

• 

Location where the surrounding air temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40°C 

• 

Location where condensation occurs due to abrupt temperature changes 

• 

Location where relative humidity exceeds 85%RH 

• 

Location exposed to direct sunlight 

• 

Location exposed to corrosive gases or combustible gases 

• 

Location exposed to significant amount of dust, salt or iron powder (Outside of ordinary assembly plant) 

• 

Location where water, oil (includes oil mist and cutting fluid) or chemical is splashed 

• 

Location where the product main body receives vibration or hit impact 

When using the product in any of the locations specified below, provide a sufficient shield. 

  Place subject to electrostatic noise 

  Location where exposed to the influence of strong electric or magnetic field 

  Location where exposed to the influence of ultraviolet or radiant rays

 

2. Storage and Preservation Environment 

  The storage and preservation environment should comply with the same standards as those for the 

installation environment. 

  In particular, when the machine is to be stored for a long time, pay close attention to environmental 

conditions so that no dew condensation forms. Unless specially specified, moisture absorbency protection 
is not included in the package when the machine is delivered. In the case that the machine is to be stored 
and preserved in an environment where dew condensation is anticipated, take the condensation 
preventive measures from outside of the entire package, or directly after opening the package. 

  For storage and preservation temperature, the machine withstands temperatures up to 60

°

C for a short 

time, but in the case of the storage and preservation period of 1 month or more, control the temperature to 
50

°

C or less. 

  Storage and preservation should be performed in the horizontal condition. In the case it is stored in the 

packaged condition, follow the posture instruction if any displayed on the package.

Item Precautions

Attachment 

  In installation posture, only vertical mount is available. Cannot be mounted 

vertically, horizontally oriented on the wall or on the ceiling. 

  Utilize the attachment holes provided on the attachment plate for the attachment of 

the unit.

 

For the size of tightening screws, use M5 for counterbore type, M6 for 

tapped type (option) of ST4525E, and M8 screws for ST68E and ST615E. 

  For installation of the main body of ST4525E, it is available to mount from the top 

for the counterbore type and from the top 
and bottom, two ways, for tapped type 
(option). 
For installation, make sure to have the 
distance from the bottom side of the pallet 
to the top side of the bearing holder 3mm or 
more as shown in the figures below. 
Distance less than 3mm may cause 
problems in stopping pallet or smooth 
control of transportation. 

• 

 The ST68E and ST615E units can be 

mounted in 2 ways, one from the top 
surface of the attachment plate while the 
other is from the bottom. 

  However, make sure the dimension from 

the bottom surface of the pallet to the top 
of the attachment plate is as shown in 
the figure on the right.   
Not following this may cause the pallet to 
stop or the transportation may not be 
carried out smoothly (by causing the 
pallet to overrun or to be pushed up). 

  Ensure a room for maintenance work. 

2

Screws to 
be used 

• 

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

• 

Make sure to have the effective length of screw engagement described below or more 
for the tightening of a bolt and a female screw.

 

If female screw in steel 

 thread length same as nominal diameter

 

If female screw in aluminum

thread length 1.8 times longer than nominal diameter
