Handling Precautions
1. Do not set a speed or acceleration/deceleration exceeding the applicable
rating.
Do not set a speed or acceleration/deceleration exceeding the applicable rating. Doing so may
result in vibration, failure or shorter life. Setting the acceleration/deceleration exceeding the
applicable rating may also cause creep.
2. Grease film may run out after back-and-forth operations over a short distance.
Grease film may run out if the actuator is moved back and forth continuously over a distance of 20
mm or less. For reference, have 5 cycles of back and forth operation in full-stroke range after 5,000
to 10,000 cycles of short-distanced back and forth operation.
3. Do not apply impact to the spiral cover with tools or push it hard with fingers.
Spiral cover is a thin plate rolled in spiral form. Hitting it with tools or pushing it with fingers may
deform the cover. Do not attempt to do so.

4. Do not apply any external force to the rod from the directions other than the rod
operating directions.
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 an actuator with a guide or an external guide if any external force from other
direction than the rod moving direction is applied.
5. Make sure to attach the actuator properly by following this instruction manual.
Using the product with the actuator not being certainly retained or affixed may cause abnormal
noise, vibration, malfunction or shorten the product life.
