Safety precautions The precautions described below are intended to prevent danger or injury to the user and other personnel through safe, correct use of the product. Use the product only after carefully reading and fully understanding these instructions. It is prohibited to start operating the actuator (i.e., to operate the device in accordance with the specified purpose) when the machine in which the actuator is incorporated does not satisfy any relevant safety standards.

• Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the presence of flammable gases, locations subjected to splashing water, or near combustibles. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or injury. • Do not transport, install the product, perform connections or inspections when the power is on.
Page 5
• Provide an emergency stop device or emergency stop circuit externally so that the entire equipment will operate safely in the event of a system failure or malfunction. Failure to do so may result in injury. • When the driver was replaced, set parameters such as the resolution, moving direction and others before operating the actuator.
Verify the model number of the purchased product against the model number shown on the nameplate. DRSM 42 R G - 04 A 2 AZ M K Series name DRSM: DRS2 Series Frame size 42: 42 mm (1.65 in.) 60: 60 mm (2.36 in.) R: Right direction L: Left direction...

Names of parts The moving part of the actuator is shown in gray color. Guide type Do not remove the joint from the ball screw shaft. Doing so may deteriorate the installation accuracy of the ball screw shaft, resulting in malfunction. In addition, if the joint is removed, the home position which has been set in the encoder (ABZO sensor) at the time of shipment may deviate.
Precautions for use This section covers limitations and requirements the user should consider when using the product. z General • Always use an accessory cable to connect the actuator and driver. • Be sure to provide an anti-spin mechanism for the non-guide type actuator. The actuator cannot be operated without the anti-spin mechanism because the ball screw rotates idly.
Page 9
z Temperature • In order to protect the encoder (ABZO sensor), use the actuator so that the surface temperature on the motor case does not exceed 80 °C (176 °F). If the surface temperature on the motor case may exceed 80 °C (176 °F), improve the operating conditions such as ambient temperature, operating speed, duty cycle and others.
Installing the guide type This section explains the installation location, installation method and load mounting method of the guide type actuator. Installation location The actuator has been designed and manufactured to be incorporated in general industrial equipment. Install the product in a well-ventilated location that provides easy access for inspection.

Installation using an accessory mounting plate The accessory mounting plate is a dedicated bracket (steel) to install the actuator onto a base plate. Screws to secure the actuator to the mounting plate are provided (M4, 4 pieces). Securing the actuator Secure the actuator to the mounting plate using the supplied screws (M4, 4 pieces).

• Although the guide type actuator can receive a load moment, use it less than the specifications. Operating the actuator under an excessive load moment may cause malfunction or shorter service life of the actuator. Check on the Oriental Motor Website for the product specifications.
Installing the non-guide type This section explains the installation location and installation method of the non-guide type actuator. Installation location The actuator has been designed and manufactured to be incorporated in general industrial equipment. Install the product in a well-ventilated location that provides easy access for inspection.

Installation method The actuator can be installed in any direction. Install the actuator onto an appropriate metal flat mounting plate [thickness approximately 5 mm (0.2 in.) or more] having excellent vibration resistance and heat conductivity. If a high accuracy is required, design the thickness of the mounting plate in consideration of installation conditions such as load condition, rigidity, vibration, and others.

z Mounting plate Perform machining of a flange pilot (counterbore or through hole) on the mounting plate. Design the flange pilot according to the centering shaft (jig) if the accuracy of component parts is not enough to perform centering. The figure shows an example for a through hole. Flange pilot section 0.02 (0.0008) 0.01 (0.0004)
Page 20
Installation procedure The installation procedure varies based on the accuracy of component parts of equipment. • If the accuracy of component parts enables centering without adjustment: Centering does not required. • If the accuracy of component parts is not enough to perform centering: Perform centering using jigs.
