Options Options Brake Model Description When the actuator is mounted vertically, this works as a holding mechanism that prevents the rod from falling and damaging any attachments when the power or servo is turned off. Cable exit direction CJT / CJB / CJO Model Description This option allows the exit direction of the motor-encoder cable to be changed to top, bottom, or outside.

Options Foot bracket Model Description This bracket is used for mounting the actuator body from the top with bolts. The actuator body may be twisted or deformed if an insufficient number of mounting foot brackets are used. Actuator life could also be shortened. * Refer to the installation dimensions in the actuator drawing for the installation pitch between the foot brackets.
