Precautions for product specific

Precautions for wiring and cable

Warning

①Adjustment, installation, inspection, or wiring changes should be conducted after the

power supply to this product has been turned off.

Electrical shock, malfunction, or damage can result.

②Never disassemble the cable.

③Never connect or disconnect the cable or connector with the power on.

Caution

①Wire the connector securely.

Do not apply any voltage to the terminals other than those specified in the Operation Manual.

②Wire the connector securely.

Check for correct connector wiring and polarity.

③Take appropriate measures against noise.

Noise in a signal line may cause malfunction.

As a countermeasure, high voltage and low voltage cables should be separated, and keep wiring

lengths short, etc.

④Do not connect power or high-voltage cables in the same wiring path as the unit.

The product can malfunction due to noise and surge voltage interference in the signal line from

power and high-voltage cables. Separate the wiring of the controller and its peripheral device

from that of power and high-voltage cables.

⑤Take care that actuator movement does not damage cables.

⑥Operate with cables secured.

Avoid bending cables at sharp angles where they enter the electric actuator.

⑦Avoid twisting, folding, rotating, or applying external force to the cable.

Electric shock, wire breakage, contact failure, or a loss of product control may occur.

⑧Fix the Communication cable for setting in place before using.

Communication cable for setting is not robotic type cable and can be damaged when moved.

⑨Select "Robotic type cables" when deflecting power cable and I/O cable repeatedly.

Do not put cables into a flexible moving tube with a radius smaller than the specified

value (minimum 50mm).

Risk of electric shock, wire damage, contact failure and loss of control of the product can occur

if "Standard cables" are used in case of inflecting the cables repeatedly.

⑩Confirm wiring insulation.

Poor insulation (interference with other circuits, poor insulation between terminals and etc.) can

apply excessive voltage or current to the product causing damage.

- 6 -

⑪The speed and force may change depending on the cable length, load, and mounting

conditions.

Furthermore, if the cable length exceeds 5 m, then it will decrease by up to 10% for every

additional 5 m.(If cable length is 15m: Maximum 20% reduction.)

⑫When checking the conductivity of the cable, be careful not to deform the connector’s

mating hole and terminals.

nserting a non-compatible connector, tool, cylinder-shaped object, etc., into the connector’s

mating hole can cause the mating hole or terminals to become deformed, which may cause

contact failure or disconnection.

⑬Refrain from plugging in and unplugging the connector frequently.

Doing so may result in contact failure or disconnection.

⑭Do not connect wires while power is being supplied.

It may cause the electric actuator to break or its peripheral devices could be damaged, causing a

malfunction.

Caution

①Do not carry or swing the product by the cable and motor.

Electric Actuators / Common Precautions

■Design

Warning

①Be sure to read the Operation Manual (this manual ).

Handling or usage/operation other than that specified in the Operation Manual may lead to

breakage and product failure.

Any damage attributed to the use beyond the specifications is not guaranteed.

②There is a possibility of dangerous sudden action by the product if sliding parts of

machinery are twisted due to external forces etc.

In such cases, human injury may occur, such as by catching hands or feet in the machinery, or

damage to the machinery itself may occur. Design the machinery should be designed to avoid

such dangers.

③A protective cover is recommended to minimize the risk of personal injury.

If a driven object and moving parts of the product are in close proximity, personal injury may

occur. Design the system to avoid contact with the human body.

④Securely tighten all stationary parts and connected parts so that they will not

become loose.

When the product operates with high frequency or is installed where there is a lot of vibration,

ensure that all parts remain secure.

⑤Consider a possible loss of power source.

Take measures to prevent injury and equipment damage even in the case of a power source failure.

⑥Consider behavior of emergency stop of whole system.

Design the system so that human injury and/or damage to machinery and equipment will not be

caused when it is stopped by a safety device for abnormal conditions such as a power outage or

a manual emergency stop of whole system.

⑦Consider the action when operation is restarted after an emergency stop or

abnormal stop of whole system.

Design the system so that human injury or equipment damage will not occur upon restart of

operation of whole system.

⑧Never disassemble or modify (including additional machining) the product.

An injury or failure can result.

It will cause the loss of the product performance.

- 7 -

⑨Do not use the stop signal as the emergency stop of the system.

Stop by shutdown of M24V is for stopping the electric actuator with deceleration.

For the emergency stop of the equipment, design the system with a separate emergency stop

circuit conforming to relevant safety standards.

⑩When using it for vertical application, it is necessary to build in a safety device.

The rod may fall due to the weight of work. The safety device should not interfere with normal

operation of the machine.

⑪Do not exceed the product specifications even if a work load is supported by

external guides.

Although the Electric actuator moment is reduced by external guides, the required trans- port

ability (the relationship between the speed and the work load) is not reduced.

⑫In order to prevent danger and damage due to the breakdown and the malfunction of this

product, which may occur at a certain probability, a backup system should be

established in advance by giving a multiple-layered structure or a fail-safe design to the

equipment, etc.

⑬Avoid designing a system that allows the driving part of an electric actuator to operate

with a spring or other external force.

Caution

①Operate within the limits of the maximum usable stoke.

The product will be damaged if it is used with a stroke which exceeds the maximum stroke. Refer

to the specifications of the product.

②When the product repeatedly cycles with partial strokes, operate it at a full stroke at least

once a day or every 1000 strokes.

Otherwise, lubrication can be lost.

③Do not use the product in applications where exces- sive 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.

④Refer to the Auto Switches Precautions (Best Pneumatics No②) if an auto switch is to be

built in and used.

⑤When UL Standards compliance is required, the electric actuator and controller/driver

should be used with a UL1310 class 2 power supply.

⑥Do 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

①Install and operate the product only after reading the Operation Manual carefully

and understanding its contents. Keep the manual in a safe place future reference.

which can lead to human injury and damage to other equipment and machinery.

④Make sure to connect the piston rod and the load so that their axial centers and

movement directions match.

There will be damage/excessive wear on the lead screw if the external guide is not parallel.

- 8 -

⑤When 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.

⑥Prevent the seizure of rotating parts (pins, etc.) by ap- plying grease.

⑦Do not use the product until you verify 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 properly.

⑧When 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.

⑨When mounting the actuator or attaching to the work piece, do not apply strong

impact or large moment.

If an external force over the allowable moment is applied, it may cause looseness in the guide

unit, an increase in sliding resistance or other problems.

⑩Maintenance space

Allow sufficient space for maintenance and inspection.

⑪The electric actuator and its peripheral devices should be installed on a fire-proof

material.
