8.1 Limit Switch
Normally during the home return operation, the slider contacts the stopper and reverses, and then detect
Z-phase (“push method”). The home limit switch (L) is used to cause the actuator to reverse not upon
contact, but using a proximity sensor.
The limit switch is a standard feature on both the rotary type and hollow rotary type.
8.2 Brake
The brake is a mechanism to hold the work part and thereby prevent it from dropping and sustaining
damage when the power or servo is turned off on the actuator installed on its side.
This brake is designed to hold the work part in place. Do not use it to decelerate the actuator or actuate an
emergency stop.
The model name for the brake is “B.”
8.3 Reversed-home Specification
If the reversed-home specification is selected, the actuator rotates in the counterclockwise direction, which
is opposite the direction in which the standard specification actuator would rotate, as the actuator moves
to a + position. Also during a home return, the actuator rotates in the opposite direction compared to the
standard specification. The model name for the reversed-home specification is “NM.”
