6. Operating and Storage Environment
6.1 Operating
Environment
The actuator should be set up in an environment which meets the following criteria:
•
Avoid direct sunlight.
•
Avoid radiant heat from strong heat sources such as a furnace.
•
Ambient temperature should be 0 ~ 40
°
C.
•
The humidity should be less than 85% and there should be no condensation.
•
Avoid exposure to corrosive or combustible gases.
•
The area should have very little dust and be suitable for normal assembly operations.
•
Avoid exposure to oil mist or fluids using in cutting.
•
The actuator should not be subject to vibration or shock.
•
The actuator should not be subject to significant levels of electromagnetic waves, ultraviolet rays or
radiation.
•
This product is not designed for use in a chemical environment.
In general, the environment should be one in which an operator can work without protective gear.
Work space required for maintenance/inspection
Provide the work space specified below if you want to replace the motor, belt, etc., without removing the
actuator.
6.2 Storage
Environment
The storage environment should be similar to the operating environment. In addition, you must take pre-
cautions against condensation if the unit is to be stored for a long period of time. Unless there are special
instructions, we do not include moisture absorption agents when shipping the unit. If you are storing the
unit where condensation might occur, then you must treat the entire package or treat the unit itself after it
is unpacked to prevent condensation. The unit can withstand up to 60
°
C during a short storage interval
but only up to 50
°
C if the storage period is longer than one month.
