⑤
Prevent the seizure of rotating parts (pins, etc.) by ap- plying grease.
⑥ Do not use the product until you verify that the equipment can operate properly.
After mounting or repair, connect the power supply to the product and perform appropriate
functional inspections to check it is mounted properly.
⑦ When one side is fixed
When an actuator is operated at a high speed with one end fixed and the other free (basic,
flange, or direct mount types), a bending moment may act on the actuator due to the vibration
generated at the stroke end, which can damage the actuator. In such a case, install a mounting
bracket to suppress the vibration of the actuator body, or reduce the speed so that the actuator
does not vibrate. Also, use a mounting bracket when moving the actuator body or when a long
stroke actuator is mounted horizontally and fixed at one end.
⑧ When mounting the actuator or attaching to the work piece, do not apply strong
impact or large moment.
If an external force over the allowable moment is applied, it may cause looseness in the guide
unit, an increase in sliding resistance or other problems.
⑨ Maintenance space
Allow sufficient space for maintenance and inspection.
⑩ The electric actuator and its peripheral devices should be installed on a fire-proof
material.
Direct installation on or near a flammable material may cause a fire.
⑪ Do not install the product in a place subject to vibrations and impacts.
It will cause failure or malfunction.
⑫ Take measures to ensure that the operating temperatures of the electric actuator and its
peripheral devices are within the range of the specifications.
also should be installed with 50mm or larger spaces between each side of it and the
other structures or components.
It may cause a malfunction of the controller and its peripheral devices and a fire.
⑬
Do not mount the controller and its peripheral devices near a large electromagnetic
contactor or no-fuse breaker which generates vibration on the same panel. Mount them
on different panels, or keep the controller and its peripheral devices away from such a
vibration source.
⑭ Install the electric actuator and its peripheral devices on a flat surface.
If the mounting surface is distorted or uneven, an unacceptable force may be added to the
housing, etc., causing problems.

Handling
Warning
① Do not touch the motor while in operation.
The surface temperature of the motor can increase to approx. 80
Energizing alone may also cause this temperature increase. As it may cause burns, do not
touch the motor when in operation.
② If abnormal heating, smoking or fire, etc., occurs in the product, immediately shut off the
power supply.
③ Immediately stop operation if abnormal operation noise or vibration occurs.
If abnormal operation noise or vibration occurs, the product may have been mounted incorrectly.
Unless operation of the product is stopped for inspection, the product can be seriously damage
④ Never touch the rotating part of the motor or moving part of the actuator whileoperation.
