INSTALLATION DANGER Do not use the product in a place where dangerous substances such as ignitable, inflammable, or explosive materials are present. A fire, ignition, or explosion may occur. Do not work with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock. Prevent water and oil from splashing onto the product.
Page 17
WARNING Do not install the product to a combustible material. Installing it on combustible materials or near combustible materials may cause a fire. Do not place heavy objects on cables or pinch them. If the cable sheath is torn or excessive stress is applied, it may cause poor continuity or deterioration of insulation.
Page 18
WARNING Design a safety circuit or safety device to prevent damage to the device or an accident resulting in injury or death if the machine stops in the event of a system malfunction such as an emergency stop or power failure. Check the wiring of the product in this Instruction Manual or the related instruction manual to ensure that there are no wiring errors or loose connectors.
Page 19
CAUTION Do not use the product in an environment where a strong magnetic field occurs. A malfunction may occur. Do not perform a withstand voltage test or an insulation resistance test in a device with the product installed. Due to the circuit design, the product may be damaged if a withstand voltage test or an insulation resistance test is performed on the device with the product installed.
Page 20
CAUTION When installing an external stopper or a holding mechanism (such as a brake), arrange it so as not to affect the detection of the home position. Unintended position may be recognized as the home position due to the influence of external stopper or holding mechanism when returning to the home position.
Page 21
CAUTION When using positioning holes, make sure to use pins having the size that does not require press-fitting. Press fitting pins may cause damage or distortion in the guide section, resulting in reduced accuracy. The recommended tolerance of the pin is JIS tolerance of 6 µm or less.
Installation Environment Before storing or using the product, check the ambient temperature and atmosphere specified in the product specifications. Use the product at an ambient temperature between 10°C and 40°C. Ventilate if heat can become trapped. Use the product at an ambient humidity between 35% and 80% RH. Do not use the product in a place where condensation occurs.
Unpacking CAUTION Heavy products shall not be carried by a worker alone. Never ride on the packaging. Do not place heavy items or items with concentrated loads that may deform the packaging. Do not apply excessive force to any part of the product. Pay sufficient attention to avoid an impact such as dropping during transportation and handling.
Installing Precision processing finishing has been performed for the base and table mounting surfaces so that this product will obtain highly accurate linear movement. The flatness of the mounting surface of a system has been finished highly accurately by grinding processing, so stable high accuracy can be obtained (Recommended flatness: 0.05 mm/200 mm or less).
Page 25
EJSG series CAUTION Do not allow excessive shock or moment to act on the slider. A malfunction or damage may occur. The flatness of the workpiece mounting surface should be 0.05 mm or less. Do not apply twisting or bending force to the product.
USAGE DANGER Do not enter the operating range while the actuator can operate. An injury may occur. Do not work with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock. WARNING Do not climb on the product or put things on it. ...

Replacement and adjustment procedures for the steel belt The procedures for replacing and adjusting the steel belt in the EJSG series are as follows: Remove the resin cover. Loosen the four bolts on the slider section with a hex key for M3 (across flats: 2 mm) and then remove the resin cover.
Page 33
Replace the steel belt. Place a new steel belt and temporarily fasten the holding brackets and bolts removed in Step 2. Temporarily tighten the bolts to the extent that the steel belt can slide. Secure the steel belt. Align the steel belt with the shaft center and tighten the two bolts on the non-motor side with the specified tightening torque (0.4 N·m).
