About Tightening Screws
�
Use a hex socket head cap bolt for the attachment to the base.
�
It is recommended to use high-tensile bolts with ISO-10.9 or more.
�
Make sure to have the effective length of bolt engagement described below or more for the
tightening of a bolt and a female screw.
When female screw is on steel � Thread length same as nominal diameter
When female screw is on aluminum � Thread length 2 times longer them nominal diameter
Caution: Pay special attention when selecting the bolt length. In case that an inappropriate
length of a bolt is applied, it may cause a drop in the operation accuracy or an
unexpected accident due to a damage, insufficient strength of actuator attachment
or an interference with the operating area.
Pull out the slider to the stroke end. Remove four screw
cover mounting screws with an Allen wrench of 1.5mm
across flats to remove the screw cover.
If the actuator has a brake, connect this machine to the controller and pull out the slider to the stroke
end after the brake has been released with the brake release switch. Then, turn OFF the controller
power for safety.
Check to see that a 0.1mm thick gauge cannot be inserted
at the mounting holes while this machine is left standing
on the mounting surface.
