5. Transportation and Handling
5.1 Handling the Actuator by Itself
When transporting the actuator by itself, take note of the items specified below.
5.1.1 Handling the Packed Actuator
Unless otherwise specified, the actuator of single-axis configuration is packed individually.
When transporting or handling the packed actuator, exercise due caution not to hit the package against
other object or drop the package.
 If the package is heavy, the operator must not attempt to carry the package alone.
 When setting down the package, place it horizontally.
 Do not step onto the package.
 Do not place on the package any heavy object or other article with an area of concentrated mass that
may cause the package to deform.
5.1.2 Handling the Unpacked Actuator
When handling the unpacked actuator, hold it by the base.
Warning
 Do not apply excessive force on any part of the actuator. When transporting the actuator, do not hold it by
the stainless sheet, cables, cable track or slider. In particular, never apply force on the stainless sheet.
 This actuator uses high-performance rare-earth permanent magnets. Therefore, those who are wearing a
pacemaker or any other medical device must not come within 30 cm of the actuator.
 Handling precaution for the stainless sheet
The stainless sheet has a thickness of only 0.1 mm or so in order to provide flexibility. Because of this very
thin design, the stainless sheet easily gets dented and scratched. If the damaged stainless sheet is used
continuously, the sheet may eventually break.
 Taboos in transportation
Do not transport the actuator by holding its slider. Do not transport the actuator by holding its cables.
Do not transport the actuator by holding its cable track. Do not transport the actuator by holding its stainless sheet.
