Before installing, operating, maintaining or inspecting this product, please peruse this operating manual as well as the operating manuals and other related documentations for all equipment and peripheral devices connected to this product in order to ensure the correct use of this product and connected equipment/devices.
- Page 3 Never cut and/or reconnect the cables supplied with the product for the purpose of extending or shortening the cable length. Doing so may result in fire. [Operation] Do not enter the machine’s range of operation while the product is operating or standing by. The actuator may move suddenly, causing injury.
- Page 4 If the product’s protective device (alarm) has actuated, immediately turn off the power. Continuing to use the product may result in injury or product damage due to the malfunctioning product. After turning off the power, identify and remove the cause of problem, and then reconnect the power. Do not step on the product, use it as a footstool or place any object on it.
- Page 5 Do not insert a finger or object in the openings in the product. It may cause fire, electric shock or injury. Do not bring a floppy disk or other magnetic media within one meter of the product. The magnetic field generated by the magnet may destroy the data in the floppy disk, etc.
- Page 6 Prohibited Handling of Cables When designing an application system using IAI’s actuators and controllers, incorrect wiring or connection of each cable may cause unexpected problems such as a disconnected cable or poor contact, or even a runaway system. This section explains prohibited handling of cables. Read the information carefully to connect the cables properly.

Page 9: Foreword
1. Foreword Thank you for purchasing the ROBO Cylinder Actuator. This actuator adopts a new mechanism called “Magnet Coupling” that connects the ball screw nut and slider by means of magnetic force to transmit thrust. This allows the ball screw to be completely sealed, which in turn ensures the actuator’s high dust-proof and splash-proof performance. -
Page 10: Warranty
3. Warranty 3.1 Warranty Period Warranty period shall be either of the following periods whichever ends first: • 18 months after shipment from our factory • 12 months after delivery to a specified location • 2500 hours of operation time 3.2 Scope of Warranty IAI will repair your actuator free of charge if it breaks down during the above period due to any manufacturing defect. -
Page 11: Names Of The Parts
4. Names of the Parts The names of the actuator parts are indicated below. The left and right sides are indicated by looking at the actuator from the motor end with the actuator set down horizontally. Front end means the side opposite the motor end. Standard Type Guide rod Slider rod... -
Page 12: Transporting And Handling
5. Transporting and Handling 5.1 Handling the Packed Unit Unless otherwise specified, each actuator (axis) is shipped individually. Please take care that the shipping box is not dropped or subjected to strong impact during transport. • The operator should not carry heavy shipping boxes by themselves. •... -
Page 13: Operating And Storage Environment
6. Operating and Storage Environment 6.1 Operating Environment The actuator should be set up in an environment, which meets the following criteria: • Avoid direct sunlight. • Avoid radiant heat from strong heat sources such as a furnace. • Surrounding air temperature should be 0 ~ 40°C. •... -
Page 14: Installation
7. Installation 7.1 Installing the Main Body As a rule, the actuator should be installed in a horizontal position. Do not install it in a slanted or vertical position with the motor located at the bottom. The mechanical oil sealed in the pipe may leak out and cause failures. -
Page 15: Mounting Surface
7.2 Mounting Surface • The frame should have sufficient rigidity to avoid generating vibration. • The surface where the actuator will be mounted should be machined or be equally level and the flatness tolerance between the actuator and the table should be within 0.05 mm. •... -
Page 16: Installing The Load To The Slider
7.3 Installing the Load to the Slider • Tapped holes are provided on the slider for installing the load. • Please use two reamed holes on the slider when repeatability of mounting and dismounting is required. When fine adjustment of the squareness is necessary, use only one reamed hole to allow adjustment. Diameters of tapped holes and reamed holes in slider Tapped hole diameter Tapping depth... -
Page 17: Connecting To The Controller
8. Connecting to the Controller The actuator is shipped with a 2-meter cable pre-assembled to the actuator body. Connect the connector on the free end of this cable to the controller via a relay cable. • This cable offers excellent flexibility, but it is not a robot cable. Do not store the cable in a movable cable duct whose bending radius is smaller than the specified dimension. -
Page 18: Notes On Use
9. Notes on Use 9.1 Restrictions on Operating Condition and Installation Position Never perform push-motion operation, as it will cause the magnetic coupling to lose alignment. Use the actuator horizontally. It cannot be installed vertically or on its side. 9.2 Precision This actuator adopts a structure whereby the pipe and slider slide against each other via a wear ring and make connection by means of magnetic force. -
Page 19: Splash-Proof Performance
9.5 Splash-proof Performance This actuator provides a level of protection conforming to IP67. However, this protection performance is conditional upon heeding the restrictions specified below. Also, the end of the pre-assembled actuator cable to be connected to a relay cable is not splash-proof. Provide appropriate measures to prevent this connection point from coming in contact with water. -
Page 20: Filter
9.8 Filter This actuator has its ball screw and motor sealed inside the pipe and case to prevent entry of water and dust into the ball screw/motor. In addition, Gore-Tex filters are attached on the end faces of the motor case and pipe so that air pressure difference does not generate between the inside and outside or dews do not form within the actuator. -
Page 21: Maintenance
10. Maintenance 10.1 Maintenance Schedule Perform maintenance work according to the schedule below. The schedule is set assuming eight hours of operation a day. When the operation time is long such as 24-hour operation, shorten the maintenance intervals as needed. Visual inspection Grease supply Start of operation... -
Page 22: Adding Grease
10.3 Adding Grease Since the pipe and slider are designed to slide against each other via a wear ring, food-grade grease is charged as lubricant in order to extend the life of the wear ring and keep the pipe temperature from rising. This grease contains antibacterial agent to prevent growth of bacteria and mildews. -
