6.2 Mounting
Warning
1. Install and operate the product only after reading the Operation Manual carefully and under
standing its contents. Keep the manual in a safe place future reference.
2. Observe the tightening torque for screws.
Tighten the screws to the recommended torque for mounting the product.
3. Do not make any alterations to this product.
Alterations made to this product may lead to a loss of durability and damage to the product, which can
lead to human injury and damage to other equipment and machinery.
4. When using external guide, the guide axis should be parallel to the actuator axis.
There will be damage/excessive wear on the lead screw if the external guide is not parallel.
5. When an external guide is used, connect the moving parts of the product and the load in such
a way that there is no interference at any point within the stroke.
Do not scratch or dent the sliding parts of the product tube or piston rod etc., by striking or grasping
them with other objects. Components are manufactured to precise tolerances, so that even a slight
deformation may cause faulty operation.
6. Prevent the seizure of rotating parts.
Prevent the seizure of rotating parts (pins, etc.) by applying grease.
7. Do not use the product until you verify that the equipment can operate properly.
After mounting or repair, connect the power supply to the product and perform appropriate functional
inspections to check it is mounted properly.
8. Cantilever
When the actuator is operated at high speed while it is fixed at one end and free at the other end
(flange type, foot type, double clevis type, direct mount type), a bending moment may act on the
actuator due to vibration generated at the stroke end, which can damage the actuator. In such a case,
install a support bracket to suppress the vibration of the actuator body or reduce the speed so that the
actuator does not vibrate. Use a support bracket also when moving the actuator body or when a long
stroke actuator is mounted horizontally and fixed at one end.
9. When attaching work piece, do not apply strong impact or large moment.
If an external force over the allowable moment is applied, it may cause looseness in the guide unit, an
increase in sliding resistance or other problems.
10. Maintenance space
Allow sufficient space for maintenance and inspection.
11. Mounting connectors
Tighten the screws evenly. Tightening torques are as indicated below.
For brake connector
Screw size: M2
Tightening torque: 0.2 N m
For power supply connector
Screw size: M2
Tightening torque: 0.2 N m
For encoder connector
Screw size: M2
Tightening torque: 0.1 N m
