[How to check and adjust the position of encoder phase Z]

Follow the procedures below to check if encoder phase Z is at an appropriate position. This is

required only for RP3NA, RP3N (slip screw) actuators with a lead of 1 mm.

[Procedure 1] Checking the position of encoder phase Z

[1] Turn the shaft clockwise from the rear until the rod contacts the rear end.

Recommended screwdriver size:

Nominal size 5.5 to 6.0 (width at tip)

[2] In rear view, confirm that the cutout

groove in the shaft is located within

r

45 degrees of the line extending from

the marking in the 180-degree opposite

direction.

If the cutout groove is within the

allowable angle, the position of

encoder phase Z is appropriate.

If the cutout groove is outside the

allowable angle, the position of

encoder phase Z must be readjusted.

Correct the position as specified on the

next page [procedure 2].
