SMC Networks LE2FS Series Operation Manual page 8

③ Do not use the product in applications where excessive external force or impact
force is applied to it.
The product can be damaged. The components, including the motor, are manufactured to precise
tolerances. Even a slight deformation may cause a malfunction or seizure.
④ Return to origin cannot be performed during a positioning or pushing operation.
⑤ Refer to the Auto Switches Precautions (Best Pneumatics No2) if an auto switch is to be
built in and used.
⑥ Do not exceed the product specifications even if a work load is supported by
external guides.
Although the actuator moment is reduced by external guides, the required trans- port ability (the
relationship between the speed and the work load) is not reduced.

Mounting
Warning
① Install and operate the product only after reading this Operation Manual carefully
and understanding its contents. Keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference.
② Observe the tightening torque for screws.
Tighten the screws to the recommended torque for mounting the product.
③ Do not make any alterations to this product.
Alterations made to this product may lead to a loss of durability and damage to the product, which
can lead to human injury and damage to other equipment and machinery.
④ When an external guide is used, connect the moving parts of the product and the load in
such a way that there is no interference at any point within the stroke.
Do not scratch or damage the sliding part by hitting it with an object. Components are manufactured
to precise tolerances, so the slightest deformation may cause faulty operation.
⑤ Prevent the seizure of rotating parts (pins, etc.) by ap- plying grease.
⑥ Do not use the product until it is verified 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 correctly.
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 the work piece, do not apply strong
impact or large moment.
If an external force above the allowable moment is applied, it may cause looseness in the guide unit,
an increase in sliding resistance or other problems.
