SS Actuator
5. Transporting and Handling
5.1 Handling the Packed Unit
Unless there are special instructions, the actuator is shipped with each axis packed separately. Please take care that
the shipping box is not dropped or subjected to strong impact during transport.
w The operator should not carry heavy shipping boxes by himself.
w If the shipping box is left standing, it should be in a horizontal position.
w Do not climb on top of the shipping box.
w Do not place heavy objects on top of the shipping box.
5.2 Handling the Actuator After It is Unpacked
Lift the actuator up by the base to remove it from the packing.
w When carrying the actuator, take care not to bump it. Take particular care with the front cover, motor housing and the
motor end cap. Do not carry by the cable.
w Do not exert excessive force on any part of the actuator. Take particular care with the screw cover and cable.
* Please refer to Section 3 above for the names of the actuator parts.
6. Operating and Storage Environment
6.1 Operating Environment
The actuator should be set up in an environment which meets the following criteria:
w Avoid direct sunlight.
w Avoid radiant heat from strong heat sources such as a furnace.
w Ambient temperature should be 0 ~ 40º C.
w The humidity should be less than 85% and there should be no condensation.
w Avoid exposure to corrosive or combustible gases.
w The area should have very little dust and be suitable for normal assembly operations.
w Avoid exposure to oil mist or fluids using in cutting.
w The unit should not be subject to vibrations greater than 0.3G.
w Avoid extreme electromagnetic waves, ultraviolet rays and radiation.
In general, the environment should be one in which an operator can work without protective gear.
6.2 Storage Environment
The storage environment should be similar to the operating environment. In addition, you must take precautions against
condensation if the unit is to be stored for a long period of time. Unless there are special instructions, we do not include
moisture absorption agents when shipping the unit. If you are storing the unit where condensation might occur, then you
must treat the entire packing or treat the unit itself after it is unpacked to prevent condensation. The unit can withstand
up to 60ºC during a short storage interval but only up to 50ºC if the storage period is longer than one month.
