[2] Handling of Multi-Axes Type
This is the case that this product is delivered with other actuators being combined. Multi-axes
type will be delivered in a package with an outer case fixed to a wooden base. Sliders are fixed
so they would not accidently move while in transportation. The end of the actuator is also fixed
to avoid it swinging by external vibration.
䎃
(1) Handling the Packed Unit
• Do not damage or drop. The package is not applied with any special treatment that enables it
to resist an impact caused by a drop or crash.
• Transport a heavy package with at least more than two operators. Consider an appropriate
method for transportation.
• When suspending the package using ropes, pass the ropes from underneath the
reinforcement frames at the bottom of the base. When lifting with a forklift, also place the forks
underneath the base.
• Do not apply an impact on the package or let it bounce when putting it down.
• Do not step or sit on the package.
• Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package.
䎃
(2) Handling the Actuator After Unpacking
• Affix the slider and rod so they would not move while transporting.
• If any end of the actuator is overhanging, secure it properly to avoid significant movement due
to external vibration. If the actuator assembly is transported without the ends being secured,
do not apply an impact of 0.3G or more.
• In the case that the actuator needs to be carried up with ropes or another method, be sure to
use an appropriate cushioning to avoid the robot being deformed or put on an excessive
pressure. And also, be sure to keep the robot in a stable and horizontal posture. Make a tool to
utilize the attachment holes and tapped holes on the actuator and attach it if necessary.
• Do not attempt to apply load to the actuator or connector box. Also, avoid the cables being
pinched or caused an excessive deformation.

[3] Handling of Robot Mounted on Mechanical Equipment (System)
In below, explains how to handle the actuator when transporting it in the whole mechanical
equipment (system) that the actuator is built in.
• Affix the slider and rod so they would not move while transporting.
• If any end of the actuator is overhanging, secure it properly to avoid significant movement due
to external vibration. If the actuator assembly is transported without the ends being secured,
do not apply an impact of 0.3G or more.
• When suspending the mechanical equipment (system) with ropes, avoid applying force to the
actuator, connector box, etc. Also, avoid the cables being pinched or caused an excessive
deformation.
