The Ma and Mc moments applying
on this slider should be kept to one-
half the allowable moment.
� The allowable overhang lengths are based on a configuration where the center of gravity of the load mounted
on the actuator corresponds to the center of the overhang length.
(Note) To calculate the moments in Ma and Mc directions, offset the reference position by L mm from the top
surface of the slider, as shown in the figure below.
If an actuator is used as the Y-axis in a cantilever system based on X-Y combination, its base deforms easily.
Accordingly, keep the Ma and Mc moments to no more than one-half their respective ratings. (See the figure
below.)
Caution: Allowing the slider to receive an excessive load moment will shorten the service
life of the guides. If the allowable overhang length is exceeded, vibration may
generate or the service life of the guides may be reduced.
