LAH-80 Series Technical Document 4. Performance evaluation system and evaluation method As performance evaluation of the linear actuator LAH-80 Series, characteristic evaluation that is optimal and necessary for a high-precision positioning system actuator is performed with our proprietary evaluation system based on JIS B6201.
LAH-80 Series Technical Document 4-2 Performance evaluation method (1) One-way positioning accuracy (in compliance with JIS B6201) a) Move the output rod to the specified lead-in side limit, and then move it 1mm to the push-out direction. The position is the reference position.

LAH-80 Series Technical Document (3) Reverse positioning accuracy (in compliance with JIS B6201) (Lost motion) a) Move the output rod to the push-out direction, and then move it to the center of displacement (±0mm). The point is b) From Ao, feed it 1mm to the push-out direction. The point is A c) From Point A , feed it 1mm to the pull-in direction, and measure the point.
The maximum allowable static axial load is the allowable axial load (tensile load and compressive load) regardless of the stroke of the output rod when the linear actuator is stopped (servo lock, etc). The maximum allowable static axial load of the LAH-80 Series is 4000N. 5-3 Maximum allowable radial load (Fr)...

LAH-80 Series Technical Document 4. Cautions on design and use Poor operation methods or operating environments result in unsatisfactory performance, shorter product life, or unexpected troubles. To avoid this, observe the following. 4-1 Operating environment Use the linear actuator in the following environment.
LAH-80 Series Technical Document 4-3 Load direction The load (thrust) direction can be the push-out and pull-in directions of the output rod. If the load direction changes between the push-out and pull-in directions of the output rod, especially the reverse positional accuracy becomes poor because the elastic deformation of each component of the linear actuator is involved.
LAH-80 Series Technical Document Mechanical push-out limit Mechanical pull-in limit Figure 13 ◆ Do not use the product with the travel exceeding the available range as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15. It may cause failure, poor accuracy, or injury.
LAH-80 Series Technical Document 4-7 Wiring The control unit is a control device that processes signals of several mV or less. Observe the following to perform wiring. (1) Use a twisted pair shielded cable with the required number of conductors as the I/O signal line. If two or more control units are used, use a separate cable for each of the control units.
LAH-80 Series Technical Document 5. Operation 5-1 Cautions on operation Do not insert your hand in the output rod (movement shaft) of the linear actuator. CAUTION Do not touch the terminal for 3 minutes after power off. ◆ Operation cannot be done by power on/off. It deteriorates the internal circuit elements.
LAH-80 Series Technical Document 5-3 Test run For a test run, check the following and perform it at low speed without any load. Check items before test run ◇ ◆ The linear actuator is installed securely. ◆ The motor and end limit sensor lead wire are wired correctly.
