WARNING Design a safety circuit or safety device so that if the machine stops due to a system abnormality such as an emergency stop or a power failure, the equipment will not be damaged or personal injury will not occur. When wiring the product, refer to this Instruction Manual or any other relevant instruction manuals to make sure that the wiring is correct and connectors are firmly connected.
Page 32
Com mon 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 on a device with the product installed. ...
Page 33
CAUTION When performing electric welding to the equipment to which the product is installed, remove all the frame ground connections of the product. If electric welding is performed with the frame ground connected, the product may be damaged due to welding current, excessive high voltage during welding, or surge voltage.
Page 34
DS S D 2/ DS TK s e ri e s CAUTION Do not apply rotational torque to the piston rod. The anti-rotation bushing may be deformed, significantly reducing the service life. Use the product with the load on the piton rod always being applied in the axial direction of the piston rod.
Page 35
DS S D 2 se r ie s CAUTION Do not allow a large clearance between the clevis and the mating bearing. If the clearance is large, bending action acts on the pin and bearing. (Recommended fit: H10/e8) Connect the piston rod tip and the load with a free joint or a simplified floating fitting.
Page 36
DS TK s e ri e s CAUTION Do not remove the set screw on the rod cover. The stopping direction cannot be changed. When using a stopper actuator to stop a load in the middle that is directly connected to an actuator etc., select an appropriate actuator. ...
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 0°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.

Cylinder switch WARNING Never use in an explosive gas atmosphere. The cylinder switch is not explosion-proof. Never use the product in an explosive gas atmosphere as it may cause an explosion hazard. Use it correctly within the specification range. ...
Page 44
CAUTION Observe the tightening torque when installing the cylinder switch. If the maximum tightening torque is exceeded, setscrews, brackets, switches, etc. may be damaged. In addition, if the switch is tightened with less than the minimum tightening torque, the switch mounting position may be shifted. Pay attention to the bending stress and tensile force of the lead wire.
Page 45
CAUTION Do not use the switch lead wire to carry the cylinder. It may cause the lead wire to break or the internal elements of the switch to be damaged. Do not use the product in an environment with a large impact. Do not use in locations with surge sources.
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. ...
Page 47
CAUTION When the controller and actuator are connected with a cable, do not move the actuator moving part by external force except for manual operation. A malfunction or damage may occur due to regenerative currents. Do not dent or scratch the moving part of the actuator. ...
Page 48
CAUTION When changing the combination of the actuator and controller, be sure to check the combination before operating them. An accident may occur. Use the actuator so that no impact is applied to the moving part. Since the product life varies depending on the transfer load, etc., set it with sufficient margin.
Usage For information on how to use the DSSD2/DSTK/DSTG/DSTS/DSTL series, refer to the instruction manual of the ESC4 series. For the instruction manual numbers, refer to "1.2Instruction Manuals Related to This Product". Using the Controller For information on how to use the controller, refer to the instruction manual of the ESC4 series.
