Thrust direction
Please make sure to follow the following notes when thrusting the slider.
[Low-lead type ball screw]
There are some models that the slider would not move with external force. Do not try to move it
forcefully. Utilize JOG operation to move the slider with using the PC software or teaching pendant.
[Mid-lead and high-lead type slide screws]
Try to utilize JOG operation to move the slider with using the PC software or teaching pendant as
much as possible. Or, for those with a slit on the end of the shaft, twist the shaft with putting in
a screwdriver to the slit to move the slider.
[Low-lead type slide screw]
The slider would not move with external force. Use the PC software or teaching pendant to move the
slider with JOG operation.
Or, for those with a slit on the end of the shaft, twist the shaft with putting in a screwdriver to the slit to
move the slider.
Do not try to move the slider forcefully when it is difficult.
For mid-lead and high-lead type slide screw models, avoid moving the slider directly
with hand as much as possible.
Applying too much force to the slider may cause a malfunction of the actuator such as
a broken nut. Caution:
