Location for installation
The actuator has been designed and manufactured to be incorporated in general industrial equipment. Install it in a
well-ventilated location that provides easy access for inspection. The location must also satisfy the following
conditions:
•
Inside an enclosure that is installed indoors (provide vent holes)
•
Operating ambient temperature
Actuator equipped with the
AZ
Series
0 to +40 °C (+32 to +104 °F) (Non-freezing)
Actuator equipped with the
AR
Series or
RKII
Series
When the home-sensor is not used: 0 to +50 °C (+32 to +122 °F) (Non-freezing)
When the home-sensor is use: 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 1,000 m (3,300 ft.) above sea level
If an actuator equipped with the
AZ
Series 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. Keep the magnetic flux
density on the surface of the encoder (ABZO sensor) so as not to exceed the values in the table.

* When the magnetic flux density is exceeding 1 mT and 2 mT or less, use in an environment where the operating
ambient temperature is exceeding 20 °C (68 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) or less.
Do not install the actuator close to equipment which generates a strong magnetic field.
