3. Life
The mechanical life of the actuator is represented by that of the guide receiving the greatest moment
load.Operation life of the linear guide is to be determined by the total driving distance which can reach
without having 90% flaking (peeling on rail surface).
Operation life can be figured out with the calculation method shown below.
3.1
How to Calculate Operaition Life
For the operation life of the linear guide, use the dynamic allowable moment stated in 2. Specifications, and
figure out with the formula below.

In addition, have a calculation for the drop of life with the formula below if there is a concern that the life
could drop due to the condition of vibration or way to be attached.
