1. Handling of the Packed Product
Take the greatest care in transporting the product, not to bump or drop it.
• An operator should never attempt to carry a heavy package on their own.
• When setting down the package temporarily, keep it horizontal.
• Do not step on the package.
• Do not place on the package a heavy object that may cause the box deformation or apply stress on it.
2. Handling of the Unpacked Product
Do not transport the actuator by holding the motor unit and cable or move it by pulling the cable.
• When the actuator is taken out from the package and handled, hold the base section.
• When transporting the actuator, be careful not to hit it against other objects. In particular, pay attention to the side cover.
• Do not give any unnatural force to any of the sections in the actuator.
Environments for Installation, Storage and Preservation
1. Installation Environment
Please attempt to avoid installing the product to such places as listed below.
Also, make sure to keep enough space necessary for maintenance work.
• Place where exposed to radiant heat from a huge heat source such as heat treatment
• Place where the ambient temperature goes out of the applicable range from 0 to 40°C
Remarks
• Place where condensation would occur due to sudden temperature change
• Place where the relative humidity exceeds 85% RH
• Place where exposed to the direct sunlight
• Place where corrosive gas or flammable gas exist
• Place where it contains a lot of dust, salt or iron (Outside of an ordinary assembly plant)
□□□ shows the cable length
• Place where water, oil (includes oil mist and cutting fluid) or chemical is splashed
(Example) □□□ : 020 = 2[m]
• Place where the product main body receives vibration or hit impact
Make sure to have a treatment for blocking when using in the following conditions:
Packaged in slider type • Place where noise is generated by such facts as static electricity
• Place where exposed to the influence of strong electric or magnetic field
Refer to list below
• Place where exposed to the influence of ultraviolet or radiant rays
2. Storage and Preservation Environment
The storage and preservation environment should comply with the same standards as those for the installation environment.
In particular, when the machine is to be stored for a long time, pay close attention to environmental conditions so that no
dew condensation forms.
Nut
Unless specially specified, moisture absorbency protection is not included in the package when the machine is delivered. In
M14×1.5
the case that the machine is to be stored and preserved in an environment where dew condensation is anticipated, take the
condensation preventive measures from outside of the entire package, or directly after opening the package.
1
For storage and preservation temperature, the machine withstands temperatures up to 60°C for a short time, but in the
case of the storage and preservation period of 1 month or more, control the temperature to 50°C or less.
The product should be settled in the horizontal orientation while in storage and reservation. In the case it is stored in the
packaged condition, follow the posture instruction if any displayed on the package.

[Precautions for Attachments]
No. Item Precautions
1 Installation • If the actuator is installed in horizontally oriented wall mount for the Slider Standard Type
(Screw Cover Type) SA5C and SA7C, it is easy for a foreign object to get inside the actuator
from the opening on the side of the actuator. And also it becomes easy to splash the grease
applied on the guide and ball screw from the opening on the side surface.
• Installation of the slider standard type (stainless steel sheet type) and cleanroom types SA5C
and SA7C in horizontally oriented wall mount or in ceiling mount may cause the stainless steel
sheet to be slacked or displaced. Keeping use of the actuator in such conditions may cause
such failures as breakage of the stainless steel sheet. Adjust the sheet condition if necessary
in the daily inspections.
(Refer to the section for maintenance in instruction manual for how to adjust the stainless steel
sheet.)
• Avoid using the actuator with no brake in the vertical orientation.
• Secure the space where maintenance work can be performed.
2 Attachment Surface
• The base has to have a structure with sufficient rigidity to prevent oscillation.
• The side and the bottom surfaces of the base of the actuator are the datum for the slider drive.
If accuracy for its run is required, use these surfaces as a datum of the installation.
Reference Surface
(Side of Base)
Reference Surface
• The actuator mounting surface and other surfaces that are used as a datum should be flat
enough with an accuracy of machining or equivalent treatment, and the flatness of the
mounting surface needs to be ±0.05mm/m or less.
3 Bolt to be used • For the bolts to be used, a high-tensile bolt complying with ISO-10.9 or more is recommended.
• If using the tapped holes, use screws with the thread length dimension being less than the
effective depth of the holes.
• For the actuator mounting, use a bolt with the dimension of its effective mating length to the
tapped hole is as stated below.
If tapped hole on steel → thread length same as nominal diameter
If tapped hole on aluminum → thread length 1.8 times longer than nominal diameter
4 Tightening Torque • Please follow the specification values stated in the Instruction Manual for the tightening torque.
Failure to do so may cause an operation problem.
5 Load Moment and • In the case of slider Type please follow the specification values stated in the Instruction
Overhung length Manual for the load moment and the overhung length. Failure to do so may cause abnormal
vibration or noise, and also may remarkably shorten the product life.
• Please do not apply any external force from other than rod moving direction (radial load) to the
rod. Any perpendicular or radial force to the rod may cause damage to the actuator or
.
operation problem Equip guide in the direction of the load if any external force from other
direction than the rod movement.
6 Stainless Steel Sheet • Do not attempt to hold the stainless steel sheet directly with hand. Also pay attention not to
make a dent mark on the sheet.
Stainless steel sheet is easy to get dented because it is thin. Using it with a dent on may cause
a breakage.
• Wipe away dust or iron particles completely if there is any on the stainless steel sheet.
Operation with the stainless steel sheet that has foreign matters on its surface may cause
problems such as sheet damage, waviness, etc. inside the slider.
• Do not operate the product in an ambient with dust or iron particles.
• Do not apply rotation torque on the rod (slide shaft). There is a
7 Load Attachment to Rod
possibility of damaging an inside.
• Tighten the nut on the rod tip by holding the rod with a wrench or an
equivalent tool (such as a backing wrench).
