Installation ........12 11 Dimension ........27 Connection ........18 Thank you for purchasing an Oriental Motor product. This Manual describes product handling procedures and safety precautions. • Please read it thoroughly to ensure safe operation. • Always keep the manual where it is readily available.
Overview of the product The compact motorized cylinder DR Series (hereinafter described as cylinder) is an actuator of a linear motion mechanism that a stepping motor is integrated with a ball screw. The AZ Series is adopted for the motor.
Safety precautions The precautions described below are intended to prevent danger or injury to the user and other personnel through safe, correct use of the product. Use the product only after carefully reading and fully understanding these instructions. You must not operate the cylinder (operate the equipment for the specified purpose) if the machine in which the cylinder is installed does not satisfy the related safety standards.

• Do not use the cylinder in explosive or corrosive environments, in the presence of flammable gases, locations subjected to splashing water, or near combustibles. Doing so may result in fire or injury. • Do not transport, install, connect or inspect the cylinder while the power is supplied.
Page 5
• Do not use the cylinder beyond its specifications. Doing so may result in injury or damage to equipment. • Keep your fingers and objects out of the openings in the cylinder. Failure to do so may result in fire or injury. •...
General z Be sure to use our cable to connect the cylinder and driver. Check on the Oriental Motor Website for the model name of cables. z Do not detach the table or loosen the screws. If the table is detached or the screws secured the table is loosened, the installation accuracy of the ball screw is deteriorated, resulting in malfunction or shorter service life of the cylinder.
Page 7
z Do not move the encoder (ABZO sensor) toward a strong magnetic field. A magnetic sensor is built into the encoder (ABZO sensor). If the cylinder is installed close to equipment which generates a strong magnetic field, the encoder (ABZO sensor) may break or malfunction.
Page 8
z Do not perform push-motion operation with the cylinder of ball screw lead 1 mm. The TLC output may be turned ON before push-motion operation is complete. (Push-motion return-to-home operation can be performed.) Inspection z Grease Grease on the ball screw or linear guide may darken during the initial operation (one to three weeks).

Design for mounting plate The cylinder can be installed in any direction. Install the cylinder onto an appropriate flat mounting plate [thickness approximately 5 mm (0.2 in.) or more] having excellent vibration resistance and heat conductivity. If a high accuracy is required, design the thickness of the plate in consideration of installation conditions such as load condition, rigidity, vibration, and others.

Installation method 1. Install the positioning pins on the mounting plate. Be sure to install the positioning pins on the mounting plate. Pressing the positioning pins into the cylinder may cause damage. When a squareness is required with respect to the traveling direction of the table, adjust the table so that it is perpendicular to the traveling direction using only the round positioning pin hole.

Installing a load There are two load mounting surfaces, which are provided on the linear guide side and the ball screw side. Note when installing a load Although the wide table type cylinder can receive a load moment, use it less than the specifications.

• Do not detach the table or loosen the screws of the table. Doing so may deteriorate the installation accuracy of the ball screw, resulting in malfunction or shorter service life of the cylinder. Also, the home position set in the encoder (ABZO sensor) at the time of shipment may be deviated, and this may cause unexpected movements, leading to damage to equipment.
Load positioning pin holes Two types of load-positioning pin holes, which are an elongated hole and a round hole, are provided on the table. If installation repeatability is required when installing a load, use the load-positioning pin holes. Be sure to secure the positioning pins to the load side. Pressing the positioning pins into the table may cause the cylinder break.
Inspection and maintenance Maintenance item and timing If the cylinder is operated eight hours a day, perform maintenance according to the applicable period specified in the table. Reduce maintenance intervals accordingly if the operating rate is high such as continuous operation for twenty-four hours. External External Internal...
