  • Page 22 Specific precautions for Battery-less absolute encode Warning ① Do not use in an environment where a strong magnetic fields are present. A magnetic sensor is used in the encoder. Therefore, if the actuator motor is used in a strong magnetic field environment, malfunction or failure may occur.
  • Page 23 The motors of the electric actuator can be installed close to each other. Caution ① Supply power when the actuator is stationary. The electric actuator acquires the absolute position data from the absolute encoder when power is applied. Therefore, if the power is applied to the controller when the actuator is moving with an external force, the controller fails to acquire the absolute position data, which generates an alarm.
