Design / Mounting Warning 1. Operation manual Install the product and operate it only after reading the operation manual carefully and understanding its contents. Also, keep the manual in a location where it can be referred to as necessary. 2. Ensure sufficient space for maintenance activities. When installing the products, allow access for maintenance.

12. Place an external stopper in a position that is away from the rotating table. If the stopper is placed near the rotating table, the torque that is generated by the product itself will cause the reaction force which is directed to the stopper to be redirected and applied to the rotating table.

Speed and Cushion Adjustment Speed and Cushion Adjustment Warning 1. To make a speed adjustment, gradually adjust starting from the low speed end. If the speed adjustment is performed from the high speed end, it could damage the product. As a result, it could pose a hazard to humans and damage the machinery and equipment. Lubrication Warning 1.

Auto Switches Precautions Design / Selection Warning 1. Confirm the specifications. If the product is used with excess load applied or beyond the specification range, this may cause the product to break or malfunction. We do not guarantee against any damage if the product is used outside of the specification range.

8. Keep wiring as short as possible. <Reed> As the length of the wiring to a load gets longer, the rush current at switching ON becomes greater, and this may shorten the product’s life. (The switch will stay ON all the time.) 1) Use a contact protection box when the wire length is 5m or longer.
Page 14
11. Pay attention to leakage current. <Solid state / 2-wire type> Current (leakage current) flows to the load to operate the internal circuit even when in the OFF state. > Operating current of load (OFF condition) Leakage current If the criteria given in the above formula are not met, it will not reset correctly (stays ON). Use a 3-wire switch if this specification will not be satisfied.

6. Check the actual actuation status and adjust the auto switch mounting position. According to the installation environment, the rotary table may not operate even at its proper mounting position. Even when setting at a midpoint of the stroke, check the actuation status and make the adjustment in the same manner.
Page 16
7. Avoid incorrect wiring. <Reed> A 24 VDC auto switch with indicator light has polarity. The brown lead wire or terminal No.1 is (+), and the blue lead wire or terminal No.2 is (-). [For D-97,(+) is on the no-displayed side,(-) is on the black line side.] 1) If connections are reversed, the auto switch will operate, but the light emitting diode will not light up.
Page 17
6. Do not use in an area where surges are generated. <Solid state> If there is an equipment unit (electromagnetic lifter, high-frequency induction furnace, motor, radio, etc.) that generates large surges or electromagnetic waves around cylinders or actuators with solid state auto switches, this may cause the circuit element inside the auto switch to break.

Settings of Rotation Time Even if the torque that is required by the load in the rotation movement is small, the shaft or the internal parts could become damaged depending on the inertia of the load. Therefore, select an appropriate model for your application by taking the load’s moment of inertia, kinetic energy, and rotation time into consideration.
Calculation formulas for moment of inertia Moment of inertia (kg-m ), m: Load weight (kg) 1. Thin bar 6. Thin round disk Rotating shaft position: Perpendicular to the bar Rotating shaft position: On the diameter and goes along the center of gravity 2.
Kinetic energy Allowable kinetic energy of MSUB series is shown in Table 10. The angular speed ω at the rotation ends can be found using the formula below. Table 10 Allowable kinetic energy Size Allowable kinetic energy (J) 0.005 0.013 : Rotating angle 0.032 :...

■ How to move the switch detecting position When setting the detection position, loosen the holding screw to move the switch, and fix it at the required position by tightening the holding screw again. When doing it, if the set screw is tightened strongly, it will be broken and it will not be able to fix the screw, so keep the tightening torque to approximately 0.5 Nm.

■ ■ Rotation range of the table dowel pin hole and auto switch mounting position Fig. 10 Fig. 11 ・ In Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the solid line arrows of the angle 90 degrees and 180 degrees show the rotation range of the dowel pin hole on the table.
■ Operation angle and hysteresis angle of auto switch [Example] Rotary table: 180 Switch operating angle: 90 When the switch is mounted at the intermediate position of the rotation As shown in the figure shown above, when the magnet rotates in the arrow direction along with the shaft rotation, the switch turns on when the magnet passes through the point A, and when it passes through the point B, the switch turns off.
Maintenance and Inspection In order to use the rotary table in an optimal condition, it is necessary to perform maintenance depending on the operating conditions regularly. It is preferable to perform maintenance of the rotary table once a year in general, and it is strongly recommended that maintenance and repair are performed every three years. Note that if mechanical components such as vane shaft, bearing, etc.
