2. Installation 2.1 Transportation [1] Handling of the Actuator Unless otherwise specified, the actuator is shipped with each axis unit packaged separately. (1) Handling the Packed Unit Do not damage or drop. The package is not applied with any special treatment that enables it to resist an impact caused by a drop or crash.
Page 45
Handling in the Assembled Condition This is the case when the product is delivered from our factory under a condition that it is assembled with other actuators. The combined axes are delivered in a package that the frame is nailed on the lumber base. The sliders are fixed so they would not accidently move. The actuators are also fixed so the tip of it would not shake due to the external vibration.
2.2 Installation and Storage • Preservation Environment Installation Environment The actuator should be installed in a location other than those specified below. Also provide sufficient work space required for maintenance inspection. Where the actuator receives radiant heat from strong heat sources such as heat treatment furnaces Where the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40°C Where the temperature changes rapidly and condensation occurs...
2.3 How to Install This chapter explains how to install the actuator on your mechanical system. 2.3.1 Installation Orientation Follow the information below when installing the actuator, as a rule. Do pay attention to these items (except with custom-order models). : Possible ×...
2.5 Output Shaft Adapters (Optional) The external dimensions of adapters that can be installed on the actuator’s output shaft are shown below. 2.5.1 Small Type • 330-degree Rotation Specification RTCB, Multi-Rotation Specification RTCBL (Vertical Type) Table adapter 4-M3 depth 7 6- M3 depth 7 21.8...
3. Connecting with the Controller Use the IAI dedicated connection cable for the connection of the actuator to the controller. • If the dedicated connection cable cannot be secured, reduce the load on the cable by allowing it to deflect only by the weight of the cable or wire it in a self-standing cable hose, etc., having a large radius.
Page 61
Warning: For wiring, please follow the warnings stated below. When constructing a system as the machinery equipment, pay attention to the wiring and connection of each cable so they are conducted properly. Not following them may cause not only a malfunction such as cable breakage or connection failure, or an operation error, but also electric shock or electric leakage, or may even cause a fire.
Page 62
• Do not let the cable bend, kink or twist. • Do not pull the cable with a strong force. • Pay attention not to concentrate the twisting force to one point on a cable. • Do not pinch, drop a heavy object onto or cut the cable. •...
Page 63
• PIO line, communication line, power and driving lines are to be put separately from each other and do not tie them together. Arrange so that such lines are independently routed in the duct. Power line Duct I/O lines (flat cable) Follow the instructions below when using a cable track.
4. Maintenance and Inspection 4.1 Inspection Items and Schedule Perform maintenance and inspection at the intervals specified below. This schedule assumes that the actuator is operated eight hours a day. If the actuator is operated at a higher utilization, such as when the machine is used continuously day and night, reduce the inspection intervals accordingly.
4.4 Grease Supply 4.4.1 Grease to Apply IAI uses the following grease in our plant. Kyodo Yushi AC-D No.2 Other companies also sell similar types of grease. For details, give the above grease name to the manufacturer you want to purchase from and ask what corresponding product they have available. Showa Shell Oil Albania Grease S2 Mobil Oil...
4.4.2 How to apply the grease 1) Remove the screws on the front cover (countersunk head screw M2.6 x 6), and take off the front cover. RTBS, RTBSL RTCS, RTCSL RTB, RTBL RTC, RTCL RTBB, RTBBL (Vertical Type) RTCB, RTCBL (Flat Type) 2) Remove the screws on the rear cover (countersunk head screw M2.6 x 6), and separate the rear cover from the actuator (do not forcibly pull the cables inside).
Page 67
3) While turning the gear, add grease from the opening in the rear until the bottom of the teeth is covered with grease. (Turn the input shaft to turn the output gear.) Once a sufficient amount of grease has been added, move the gear back and forth several times to evenly spread grease.
Page 68
While turning the gear, add grease from the opening in the rear until the bottom of the teeth is covered with grease. (Turn the input shaft to turn the output gear.) Once a sufficient amount of grease has been added, move the gear back and forth several times to evenly spread grease.

While turning the gear, add grease from the opening in the rear until the bottom of the teeth is covered with grease. (Turn the input shaft to turn the output gear.) Once a sufficient amount of grease has been added, move the gear back and forth several times to evenly spread grease.
Page 70
4) Install the front cover and rear cover and securely tighten the screws. When attaching the rear cover, exercise caution not to pinch the cables between the cover and actuator. Warning: • Never use fluorine grease. If fluorine grease is mixed with lithium grease, the lubricating function of grease will drop and the machine may suffer damage due to increased friction.
6. Life The product life is set to 10,000,000 times (reference) of 360deg turns in the condition of maximum output torque, maximum acceleration and maximum deceleration.
7. Warranty 7.1 Warranty Period One of the following periods, whichever is shorter: 18 months after shipment from IAI 12 months after delivery to the specified location 2,500 hours of operation 7.2 Scope of the Warranty Our products are covered by warranty when all of the following conditions are met. Faulty products covered by warranty will be replaced or repaired free of charge: (1) The breakdown or problem in question pertains to our product as delivered by us or our authorized dealer.
7.5 Conditions of Conformance with Applicable Standards/Regulations, Etc., and Applications (1) If our product is combined with another product or any system, device, etc., used by the customer, the customer must first check the applicable standards, regulations and/or rules. The customer is also responsible for confirming that such combination with our product conforms to the applicable standards, etc.
